A
ripple
of relief
escaped from 
crowd
like
silence
in a trench
after gunfire
stops....

A bumblebee missed my head this morning
Flew into the plate-glass window, without warningl,
And bounced off into the dogwood tree
I wonder, who was better off…him or me?

Find you
Hold your hands in mine
Look in your eyes
Tell you I love you
That’s what I would do
If Earth was getting slammed by an asteroid tomorrow
Oh my God! What if it turns out to be a near miss?...

Blind date
Dork mate

She grand
He bland

Parked car
They spar

Tried kiss
Near miss

Romance
No chance

Watts gnu
Asked Sou

Knot much
Said Dutch

Ewe're late
Four date

Takes walk
Small talk

Tries hug
Slugs mug

Steels kiss
Near miss

Street car
Two bar

Byes bier
Ayes blear

Holds hand
Grate band

Lets dance
Know chance

Yew're drunk
Yew punk

He heaves
She leaves

Head tossed
Git lost

Sou miffed
Left swift

Ewe're tight
Good nite...

Forever I look into the night skies
Pleasantly dreaming of your eyes 
The wonders they hold so deep
Hoping your heart is mine to keep
Wishing upon that shooting star
But knowing full where you are 
Beside me as always hand in mine
With the universe in front all in line
Touching the moon as we both kiss
As a comet goes by with a near miss
With a destiny of love right from birth
Happily together right here on earth...

Burning rocks had 
a near miss. The 
questions splatter 
the blood-

to inspire and break 
you inside and out. 
Unbecoming, to end the 
relationship. The story?

begins of an introvert. 
The ungreen grass waits 
for your wet toes, 
to breathe again.

The blood-money was 
very high, after the? 
violent end of a  
blade run.

My pillow is soaked of 
a moonfall. The anguish 
of a bodyless grave 
was haunting.
