That leaves poetry...

She loved
him, he her. Life!
had not been kind, their land
dry and insipid, excepted
them both.

muted excepted for its blush
poised on white pumpkin
winterberry holly fruit

Vacuous dreams
and stolen joy

Shadows at dawn,
lost girls and boys

Promises broken,
tears deprived

Light excepted 
—truth denied

(Dreamsleep: March, 2021)...

I Wish I had a better life
one in which I crave no knife
I Wish I was mentally well
and didn't live in my personal hell
I Wish that people excepted me
and my problems they couldn't see...

Drink a little wine
Make merry 
Dinner wrappings
Accented with favorite 
Napkins
Flute glasses
Topics 
True matter
Knife and fork 
Juster
Thanks for the invite
Excepted with Lavender...

My heart shaped ruby wishes to be loved and excepted,
Shining brightly for a single affection by one adored man,
Noticed and caressed has given the luster gleaming joy.

A stare told love is blind 
Hands like yours sweep my side 
Found my return to my bed
Brilliant perfect important 
Worthy insignificant Him
Nurture sky dreams behind daily 
Because love isn't excepted reason...

Im a reflection.
Not of my self.
But who I wish to be.
This one so far.
My own understanding.
Physically I am.
But mentally I am not. 
My ideals to become.
If only it could.
Shattered.
A reflection no longer. 
But my self.
If only It could.
Excepted by others....

I asked for nothing but your love, expected nothing, but your effort.
Produced my heart to give you all of me, even showed you, 
the most cherished part of me.
I welcomed you there, brought you in.
From my orange and yellow socks,
To my red and black hair,
You excepted it all and i fell in love.
And thats all i wanted......thats all....

I called you.
I texted you.
I said I was sorry.
I waited and left you be.
Now you finally text me.
After I turned myself inside out to set you free.
I already gave up on you see.
I finally excepted you would never love me.
So what what do you want from me.
To play with my head, give me hope, and then set me free.
Nothing is ever real.
Only what I feel....

Having been given the role of pauper,
a mere pawn in life's chess game;
I've excepted then the offer,
casting upon none blame.
Had I fame and fortune
and all its worldly acclaim;
Might not I revel in my portion
and squander away my name.
Better then, the riches of wisdom,
for me a just reward;
With knowledge as my kingdom
and all the universe mine to hoard....

one two three times now 
i should of been dead
im still breathing how
a different force had lead

should of died like the rest
i excepted and wondered
misery at its best
as my sins tortured

forced to live this life
my soul cryed
knew there was no light
just darkness down inside

my body is my cell
here my soul is trapped
the feeling is of hell
just alot of crap...

It's a sorry mind
That falls from the sky
Upside down and half blind,

Bleary eyes tell tears
Not where to go but why,
How they came to be here.

Being from a rental shelter,
Habitations made with cubes
All stacked row by row renters.

City domiciles duplex'd forever
Subsisting children excepted groups
But for the rarest, be severed.

So forgive my crazy sided heart,
It's not for less than want of love
That serious gift not all are given a part....
