when is love decrepit
will love be decrepit when
trust is just a word thrown when we cannot win fights,
an excuse rather than a gospel… or is it long before then?
will love be decrepit when
she is home waiting, and he is alone under neon lights,
both drinking, asking, “can we ever be in the same room again?”
when she cannot speak as...

Seems a LifetimeIn bed with you,
The swallowtails, I count their dots.
In bed with you,
Inside this box, the splinter rue.
This garden floats with spectral spots.
You seem cold now; I had the hots,
In bed with you.
Above the fray,
Where grass is green, and swans be loud.
Above the fray,
Clouds black and blue, the bullets spray.
The kissing lips of peril,...

My dearest SilviaSilvia,
I am writing this so there is a kind of closure for us.
A mending of the holes we bore in our souls.
Silence has defined us far to long.
Silent are the whispers that strung us along.
feeling misplaced.
Disappointment has found them..
I can only support the decision.
No participation. I can not help
by breaking our hearts.
though my...

My Heart Became DecrepitShare your empathy of unbridled dreamlands
my dear friend
and help me heal my abandoned, decrepit heart
with its peeling, dangling memories
in my troubled mind
Give me faith for shattered wishes
lead me to meadows of pulsating heartbeats
so I may rest my battered spirit
in the sun's gentle glow
to...

Only Yesterday
Only yesterday all was fine
Loving every second of time
Suddenly I'm lonesome and blue
Knowing that I am losing you
I need a helping hand to hold
From someone with a heart of gold
Please send your love from you to me
When you do, act naturally....

Remembering LauraWalking South
on the beach
in front of Doral
I heard a woman sing ...
“If you put the man
back in romance
I’ll put the lay
back in lady”
Catching up to her
I asked
where she first
heard the song
She said: “It’s mine
do you like it?
It still
needs more work
I was hoping
this walk
would enchant
or inspire”
At the Fontainebleau
I said: “I do very much
Let me help...

WillowI dreamed that snow fell on the hill,
while far below the sea was still;
it covered paths that we once knew
when I was so in love with you.
I saw the bridge where we would stand,
lips pressed together, hand in hand,
where we sought shelter from the rain
when my heart smiled and felt no pain.
But as I wakened...

A Soulless bodyThe tear doesn't ask the eye if it may drop,
The wave doesn't ask the ocean when to break,
The leaf doesn't ask the tree when to fall,
The soul doesn't ask the body when to leave.
You left me like a soulless body, wandering the world but buried within,
You left me like an abandoned cave, hollow and haunted...

the one who might
she has been looking for someone,
since before she knew the word for wanting,
“please, have you seen this person?”
someone who’s tall and strong
when she scratched her knees
falling down the monkey bars
—he can catch her when she falls, and lift her like she's air
someone who's kind and has a puppy
when she first held
a fluffy life...

Tune Of Pain
Inspired by Prince Roger Nelson's song : When Doves Cry
Grey clouds hover over my wasteland,
the desert languishes in the heat of craving,
deprived of the tuneful rain,
until you arrive with drizzling breeze.
In your pulsating embrace
my heart’s oasis resounds
with the symphony of desire.
As the pristine patina of radiant roses
flushes your crimson cheeks,
rhapsody...
