I loved
This lady
With all my heart
But she
Outgrew
That love
And 
Depart...

Why did she think me 'peculiar'
             when 'odd' or 'strange' would do
           
          I imagine it's an idiosyncrasy
            ~ one that she never outgrew...

She outgrew her clothes
She outgrew her husband
She outgrew her children
She outgrew her life

She was on a new track
But not the right one
She figured it out too late
None of them wanted her back....

Can't take my hands... uh, my eyes off of you
A slip of the tongue... thought that crap I outgrew
Could live another fifty
Still be quite shifty
Conniving and controlling, me lovely bucaroos...

As the clouds devour the sky
And the grass outgrew the earth
The sea undulates to tease the moon
The dead point and laugh at the living
The spinning ball that grips us all downI
I deny you reality
And rename you
................bob
I am about to change your bob reality...

Sixties Japanese Kaiju films
My recollection overwhelms
"Destroy All Monsters" was the best
Kilaak Queen's most evil intent
World and its armies circumvent
Want to watch it now?  Be my guest!

Mouths still move when dialogue ends
Earth is saved now all mankind friends
Godzilla, Mothra, Rodan too
Each unique with special powers
All of us kids would watch for hours
With time this genre I outgrew...

Our love like the titanic, 
Our hearts what fueled it, 
A love so solid and strong, 
One that reflected a beauty, 
Loving you was a sail, 
Being loved by you was a cruise, 
The waters calm and blue like the love we knew, 
And then love you outgrew,
A cruise now shaken, 
The waters waved away our love, 
The titanic sinked away with our hearts 
But this love has marked its home,
Like the titanic forever remembered...

Self Depreciating 
Flagellate 
Popularity 
Feigning craving approval 
A path to Institutionlised acceptance 
Rising to the next level
Free of the title working class
The fabric cloth cut from
A sell out a Charlatan 
For the Man to prey upon
What is a boy without a soul
A rich man
Who when fails 
Is hung out to dry
On blacksmith's nail's 
Hoping his old friends 
Will forgive and forget
Given the choice 
He pretended he outgrew...

There are times in life
you find yourself 
cold and alone
softly as a child
the seasons unchanged
 Where did it go wrong
only a moment ago
the sun was shining 
the birds seemed to know my name
praising me in song
 Now it's all faded
surrounded by shades of gray
trying to move forward
but the past has a hold upon me
and it won't let go
 So much history
somehow we've changed
we outgrew each other
even though love is gone
the memories lingers...

What kind of soap are you making? I asked the gnomes.
They had many ideas they were sharing with each other.
Their soap-making business outgrew most of their homes.
They began a communal business they shared with their brothers.

They made lemon grass, orange citrus, and pekoe tea soap too.
There was turquoise goddess, wind walker and oceans of blue.
Whatever name they decided on, they somehow made a soap.
No matter what came along, these gnomes knew how to cope....
