As if it mattered

It's inane and all in vain

Once ashes scattered...

We were BARE FOOT in the grass.
Seasons came.  Seasons WANED.
AND over again.
Once more.
Shoes removed.

A ghost we saw on Halloween 
Fondled a girl and fled the scene
She said she was flattered
But what really mattered
Was not knowing where it had been . . . ....

Stoical
filled blurry eyes
this embrace
old view prevails
stoical
by recount
shuffling selves
hadn't we known
truth mattered
then it crawled underneath
and died...

Insignificant

Heart wasn't what mattered
it was good enough for usage
until it wasn't to their advantage.
Frail trust shattered,
pieces of one life left scattered....

“I wish I could have taken you more places.” he said
as into her eyes he stared…
“Don’t you know it never mattered where I was.” she said,
"as long as you were there.”...

Reputation, Splattered
The victims' blood is violently splattered,
As his reputation is totally shattered.
Sycophants to the hills have all scattered,
What happened in the past really mattered....

NOT for a contest


If I kept a diary no one would see
all the things that mattered to me
I think most of you might even agree
that's why a diary comes with a key...

Little Things
to begin at the end, on the other side of pretend
we toast all that once was but could never be again
while in the shadows of our merry feast,
lurks all that mattered the least...

Trump To Curry Favors
Trump To Curry Favors

Trump likes to curry  many favors;
Never mattered what were flavors;
Owned almost all;
Short, talll or small;
Soem even were Lord and Saviors.

My Heart Is
My Heart Is
Stained and the color is pain
My Heart Is
Shattered and to you it never mattered
My Heart Is
Searching and it never discovers
My Heart Is
Aching and it never recovers...

Makita Iii: Breast of Fear
As the bark of fear ascends
callow pages crease 
illustrating a youthful doxy
abreast a sheet of smoke
waltzing betwixt velveteen lips
as if tomorrow’s mistakes 
mattered yesterday...

Premium Member Shattered
My soul 
was tattered 
and easily 
shattered~
not that it 
mattered 
as long 
as I was 
flattered
by your 
scattered 
attention; 
you left 
my heart 
battered~
you bastard!...

just for a moment nothing mattered-
                                                 in the silence,quietness stirs
impressions of summer-
                               whisper in the breeze...

Change Now Is
What we were, we are no more,
Jesus has come and gone and will return;
this day our soul longs for.

What mattered once, matters no more,
for in eternity we stand;
simply secured in the blood of The Lamb....

Move Back To a Time
Move back to a time
When things existed
And color mattered
No more black and white
For these eyes
Have seen too much
Of ambition lost
And time done
For crimes committed
Against the self
For someone else...

If Only It Mattered
I love everything about you
More than anything else
I put all that you are
Above all of myself
I tried to warn you, scorn you
Show you from the start
You chose, and yet
Still wield the power to break my heart...
