You'd tilt cartons under your nose;
milk missed your mouth and cooled my toes.
Droplets have hardened when they've seeped
under the bed, the run now steeped
in stickiness since you've been gone.
If shadows sleep, mine has withdrawn
under the bed asleep like dust
when squeaks wake up the bedframe's rust.
Your absence forces me to yank
the mattress off to scour the rank
sourness and rough smattering
of crumbs, the stuck broom battering
lampshades reddening my eyes , beets
as if I am a ghost in sheets
circling a glass bowl's facedown rim
embedded in the dust grown dim.
As I look at the stars at night
and dream of what is to be,
my heart begins to smile
for it is you I see.
Knowing that you're close,
yet so far away,
I dream of you at night
and think about you every day.
For, every moment without you
seems like an eternity.
I dream of the day we kiss
and I can hold you close to me.
So, until that day comes,
you'll always be on my mind.
I will love you till the end,
till the end of time.
I'll deafen my ears before everyone else disappears,
So I can have the most quietest peace of mind that hears their ghosts.
What would I give then for others to be their living hosts?
In gratitude for mercy, I softly tread,
For all that we cherished, the words left unsaid.
Comforted by knowing you held me so dear,
Our laughter still echoes, though you're no longer here.
As I sit in reflection, the memories flow,
The weight of your absence, a heavy undertow.
Yet in sorrow, I find strength, a promise divine,
That one day in paradise, we will pick up the memories we left behind
Where death holds no power, and love knows no end,
In that radiant place, I'll reunite with you again
Never forgotten, your essence will remain,
In the smiles and the stories, through joy and through pain.
Until that sweet moment when our paths cross once more
I'll carry your love, forever I'll adore.
My Daddy
Close friends don't know the pain I feel
My broken heart can never heal
Your sudden death was long ago
The pain I feel, close friends don't know
I can't forget your dying breath
Was long ago your sudden death
To think of you makes me upset
Your dying breath I can't forget
Alone each night, I feel so blue
Makes me upset to think of you
To laugh or smile does not feel right
I feel so blue alone each night
I'm depressed, there's no denial
Does not feel right to laugh or smile
I can't be bothered getting dressed
There's no denial, I'm depressed
Could we not at least exchange some crummy
anecdotes about our recent pasts
some poorly recalled bus stop or shop incidents
semi memories of there was this time when
I'll take any half digested subvocal passing thoughts
and an inappropriate and unvoiced yet sincerely held
opinion which you know is safe with me
Throw me a crumb here and I'll toss you
the whole hog utilising my award-winning
(and vigorous) masculine muscles
Instead of flinging it angry apelike
into the webvoid in the form of
incoherent cackhanded freeposts
begging for any minor engagement
To the Cat Who Ran Away
You left so quietly one day,
We didn’t hear your little feet.
You slipped away and gone ,
While we were all busy with work.
You were never meant to stay in,
You loved to chase and roam.
But now the house feels strange and sad,
Without you here at home.
We call your name, we check the yard,
We leave out food and wait.
We hope you're safe and warm somewhere,
And not too far or late.
If one day you come back to us,
No need to ask or cry—
Your bed is here, your bowl is full,
We’ll greet you with a sigh.
The good thing is I am never going to be crying,
But the truth is there is still this deep heartaching longing
For that very something with that very someone I am missing.
I wrote
then paused,
ball pen hovering—
the words too bare.
They sat
on yellow sheets,
unsealed and unsent
in little brown envelopes.
A line
meant for truth,
one for letting go,
another for quiet peace.
I wrote
“I miss you,”
maybe even “I love you,”
then crossed half the page.
Sometimes
I read through
the unsaid in my heart,
and almost sent a word.
Your name—
blue, unfading
crawl the old sheets,
but my voice never came.
What
could have healed
or stayed broken—
I’ll never know to say.
Only that
silence felt safer,
quieter, and maybe better
than something too true.
I sit here thinking alone in the rain,
thinking of my sorrow, misery, and pain.
I sit here listening to the thunder crashing down,
knowing my life is better when you’re around.
As I sit here watching the storm roll on,
all I think about is you, and how you are gone.
As I look at the dark clouds above,
I sit here and wonder who you’re thinking of.
It’s like the sky is crying and I am too,
thinking of how I’m missing you.
I miss your hugs and gentle touch,
and the way you tell me you care for me so much.
I miss the way you kiss me and make me feel,
I hope when you come back your feelings are still real.
Now as I look up at the cloudless sky above,
I’m thinking of you, and I know I’m in love.
I smiled when I saw
The figure in front
I ran to get close
But only hugged smoke
And when I call your name
Louder than an ocean's chime,
I hope you'll find the time
To come and find me again.
even though we're worlds apart,
i hope you'll look for me
the way i always do, you.
(the way i always will.)
Did I ever forget you?
I am destined to remember
Those days we spent together
Are always on my mind
The ache remains ,losing you hurts
There have been several others
Whose presence masked the pain
Parting was never sweet sorrow
Opening up those wounds again
Still living in my heart
Will we ever meet again
To renew our yearning love?
Or have you met another
Who now fills your life
With love, joy and adoration?
"Even When You're Near"
I saw you yesterday.
You’re not far.
Maybe five minutes,
a handful of quiet streets.
But I miss you.
Not because you’re gone,
you’re not.
It’s just that the world feels softer
when you’re in it,
next to me,
not just in thought.
The couch feels bigger.
The air feels thinner.
I look at things I’d usually show you,
and they fall a little flat.
I don’t need distance
to feel the ache.
It’s not about space,
it’s about presence.
And yours?
Yours lingers in me
like light after sunset,
not quite gone,
but not quite enough.
So yeah…
even with you nearby,
I miss you.
Deeply.
Quietly.
Like my soul is holding its breath
until I see you again.

KODACK BLUES
Up above me is an empty sky
Tonight, I miss you, but I cannot cry
I’m travelling like an explorer’s ship
I forge a smile but don’t give a flip
Nighttime calls me and I wonder why
Do you see me drifting
Don’t I look so sly
Neon lights give me sights to see
And nobody can play a fool like me
Heedless hours on the telephone line
I’m doing well, hope you’re doing fine
As we sit with our hearts intombed
Feeling nothing but impending doom
Forget the passages that turn to dust
Remember love is larger by trust
Am I a wounded warrior in a useless war
Running fast to catch my falling star
Muddled in my memories with my heart on fire
Can’t stand the truth so I settle for desire
All we settle for is less than life
And we’re looking at time like it’s got a knife
Tonight, I miss you
But I cannot cry
Up above me is
An open sky
