Under the old oak tree
Undying memories
Until tornado winds
Undid that tree, your grave
Unveiled huge toppled stump
Uplifted her through air
Unfound- Felisha Cat.

that crab nip
upon fingertips
as sunlight tilts his hat
and nighttime makes his start
drinking liquid
from the passing breeze
unanticipated tremble of the knees
Squawked yawn as seagull retires
and sound swathes
its way
through quicksand air
Slip your chill
past neckline
nomadic course down spine
Wrap your silk cotton
darkness around
safe but unsound
unfound

Eventually all loves will go away.
Either dying off one by one
or simply hobble away to nowhere.
After they're gone
the best we can wish for
is to feel the bones of their kisses
and the soul of memories.
The reward for longevity is loneliness.

Thundering, down falls lightening
Skyward rises clouds of amber
The thick mist clings to my tears
Ever present trickling down
To sorrowful earth below.
Saltine linear tracks
Climbing so low beyond
All my confusions
Open doors now locked tightly
With the sighs of my despair.
Daybreak fails my eyes
Left to a quest alone
Shuddering in cold gardens
Poppy and belladonna
Best friends we are three.
Faint and distant whispers
Of cries to never be uttered
Only laughter doth penetrate
Resting upon deaf ears
Mine heart to be left, unfound.

Actually, I shouldn't have walked away
Because nothing could be so unforgiving
Can't you understand how everything is gone?
Doesn't matter anymore, nothing matters
Except I lost something.... I never had

I am used to these ones not being there
Acquainted with truth; that they don’t care
Your weakest efforts to bring me to mind
Are all your strongly willed alibis
On stranger’s tide, one part of my life
They run, then hide, whilst I surf the tides
Alone at sea, my flesh has failed me
Along with it, all humanity
I am used to these ones not being there
An austere life, which is never fair
Nicely deceitful, truly callous
Slighting, painful, proudly ominous
In oceans deep, down in the oozes
The tears; I weep, and all the bruises.

Somewhere I exist
just not where this world can see
husk blown in the wind
