Can't live without you
I selfishly need your life, 
To enhance  my own...

Sweet, blissful solitude
A moment an instant
Given, taken
Captured, and caught up
Full with potential
Brimming with promise
Undisrupted by precedent
Selfishly coveted
Sought after...

I was one of the baby boomers
And we were raised differently
The subsequent generations
Have developed much more selfishly
They are the falsetto generations
Because they always go me me me...

Oh how I miss you Steve, and I know you're not there
Never was a man so kind or one who gave such care
I hope one day to see you and know that you are fine
but selfishly I miss you, Sweet, Dear, Good Friend Of Mine!...

Dear Mr selfish,
   To the ungrateful little prick
Swinging dead, cold and pale by the neck. 
I am the void I am death, and i will joyfully
Eat every crumb of hope you had selfishly left behind. 
   

          Sincerely; SUICIDE...

          Selfishly
     i fold his clothes

  I smile with drooling
            teeth
    not to fold for his 
            sleek
           and no 
 no dirt on his sleeves

   but it's that dollar

   I’ll get that crease...

existential awareness


existential thought
           selfishly reminding me
                           breathe in – breathe out

I don't write for you
I write quite selfishly
for me,
me
me
me 
he said,
and
I meant it.


sometimes I chat chit
just for a change.

but I still write this for me
if you disagree
complain to your MP
that
won't do any good
either....

Today i bought myself a present

A Bell,
A Bell

To wear around my neck

To remind me to ring yours

Like you ring mine

Ring,
Ring

Wink,
Wink

Hubba,
Hubba

If you know what i mean

Bump into you later Tinkerbell

Love Big Ben...

Away,
go,away
      I'll not play
your game;
 
Begone,
false words
     have no part
in truth;

Deceit
drips lies
     to lubricate
its ego;

Untruths
manipulate,
     and selfishly
control;

Depart,
I'll not listen
     to your wiles..
today...

Mysteries of love 

endure through time immortal 

“ner to be revealed 

Sought for by Minstrels and Bards 

Kept selfishly from mans grasp 



It’s very nature 

defies simplification 

Fantasy or real 

Only through experience 

can one say “I understand”...

Crippled by your words
I made crutches to carry me
Through the following days

Stronger than before
Weaker than I feel
I cannot carry myself

Misguided by thoughts
I selfishly crawl to hide
On my hands and knees

Flesh shredded
Bones shattered
I rest, I sleep, forever...

People talk talk talk, their lives away
  Yet rarely do they listen. 
It's painted on their faces,
  Obvious within their facial expressions.
Your opinion means nothing,
  A one sided conversation.
They selfishly wait for you to shut up,
 So they can talk about themselves again....

I do not want to replace 
or forget those memories 
or lessons learned
sometimes  selfishly 
the time together 
not a watch to rewind 
staying strong
trying to move on 
a few regrets 
that I can’t forget 
but our time together 
was truly beautiful 
and that is what
I hold on to...

Should I whisper it, yet you see it in my eye
While I can breathe below your ear
And spell my love at your neck tongue after tongue
And listen to you swallow my message
And wanting more and more
Purrs of our hearts you and I
Come then, let me close you in my arm
Selfishly and let our world know...

Is it okay to say 
I fall in love easily,
is it okay to say 
I fall out of love just as easily

Do you understand this duality?
Do you know there's no balancing me?

Trying to live selflessly,
Is it time to live selfishly?
This confliction is confusing you see..
I've become my own worst enemy....

i received
an email
and like a
package
attached
was a jpg

perhaps
a photo
of her
cat or
never
know
ing

what or that
what she
sent me
when i
open
ed it

would send 
me over a 
rainbow
with my 
head in
the 

clouds as
i find now
that i'm
selfishly
holding
tightly

to 
her
selfie...

two walk hand in hand
down the frozen streets. 
couples in their home warmed by fires,
but the two bundled up so close, yet so far, selfishly holding back their warmth.
no room for the energy to pass through gloved hands.
and so they walk, not feeling how their souls ripped apart and the last of their love fading....

In need of socks on my feet
frantically I search the floor 
naked and depleted
feeble minded, missing home..

drowning on the surface
of black river, floating alone
she swallowed the stars
selfishly born, kingdom unworn

scattered pieces of intentions
fed with contempt
on a cold unused bed
kindled animation, moonless breath...

No longer are you in my mentions
Evil hidden in good intentions
How could anything be understood
When I wanted nothing good
Wondering why there's so much pain
Working selfishly out of my own gain
Drinking away tomorrow
Hoping for a better day a better tomorrow
How can this be true
Never did I think i would see myself in you...

I can be soft and gentle,
Or harsh and crude,
Charismatically diplomatic,
Or impersonal and rude,
I can be kind and giving,
And selfishly living,
I can console with sincere empathy,
Or dismissive with rapier cruelty,
If I could harmonize these bitonal character traits,
Life would be,
A fabulously elegant,
Emotional symphony....

Longing 
Biological imperative  
Driven to reproduce 
The desire to take 
Lust 


Longing 
Spiritual connectivity  
Not selfishly motivated 
The desire to give 
Love...
