Something we don’t wish to meet,
Also, what we won’t want to greet.
We might start feeling its past heat,
When skeleton had heart with a beat…
For all its seeming friendly grin
Any returned smile Holy Sin;
Drinkers of juice ask for gin
The sight: one hell of a sharp pin
At a corner found a skeleton
You’d swear used had been guillotine;
Now, you don’t need news bulletin:
The sober nor highfalutin…
A focus of Anatomy
“Physique don’t judge like a dummy,”
Interested too Biology
But not like Demonology...
Surprise ceases ‘Man is erect:
Whoever doubts it you correct.
To Biology Lab, direct
But a glad meeting don’t expect.
So high all the time
Trying to wash her mark away
Like waves washing away a sand castle
Waves of smoke washing away a masterpiece
Deep in my skin like a scar
My mind consumed
Getting lost in my mind looking for memories of u
I can't believe I'm back at this point
The last one should have had a, to be continued....
Exorcism would leave only the shadow of my former self
Ur memory is beyond the abilities of professional help
Let me take this where I've been meaning to go...
I want to cuddle on the couch and watch old black and whites with u
I want to sit on a patio with u under the sun
Teasing eachother and having fun
There when I need a smile to bring me back to life
I want u wrapped in my arms all night
A glimpse of ur face and I'm flooded with emotion
Hearing ur name causes the butterflies to go in motion
News Bulletin!!
My heart & mind set u aside tonight
It's kind of a relief to write
The next time we meet will hopefully find us well
Hopefully, I don't have another wrinkle
Find what u are looking for
I will be here waiting for u to walk through my door
Space and time is what we need....
So for now, I must let you go
Remember December, it's dead and gone
Gonna be cold and blistery from this day on
Fooled ya huh
Got used to that stuff
Well news bulletin, it's winter's same old song
