Untll Eyes Close

The picture worth 1000 words
 is priced only one way

Its value screaming
—until eyes close

1,000 Words Too Late

My friend
The brine that stains my will
Searching
For your warmth to end my chill

And then I find
Through reminders
Indifference is worse than hate

A picture couldn’t say enough
1,000 words too late

Why 
Do I continue to remain?
The high
Has evolved into pain

A source I loved
My skies above
Are obscured by your face

Your eyes twinkle like the stars
Deny me a taste

you say I am a poet
I tell you I am nothing
you say I craft words
I tell you I build nothing
you look confused
imagine how I feel
that with a mere smile
the raise of an eyebrow
you push the words 
right onto me
that's right 
don't you see now
I am your paper
you are 1000 words
waiting to be written
100 feelings 
waiting to be had
I lay myself bare to you
an empty page
just awaiting the
spill of your ink.

Impossible French

A language more dense than water
Your irregular verbs forever dance
and verb negations are plus hard
my oi from ai pronunciation is oil skewed
A bill of learning strolling
into self doubt
sdtx not pronounced
but there are exceptions
your silent H is like an angry chore
the juxtaposition of possession alarms 
Your false friends laugh high five
but I'm told we still have a 1000 words
borrowed from French
altogether a curates egg I'm afraid


Library

Everything so silent
In a league of her own so vibrant
She sits across from me
An angel in human form for me
Her glasses enhance my soul to see
She looks straight through to the truth.........
Trying to keep it clean but my eyes read dirty
Lookin purposely at a lady so worthy
Down time i down play the scene to get the mood right
Just to make her smile so i know that she liked
Times up she stands and walks away
Stops turns and looks in silence
But....1000 words were said
