A Resilient Heart
...We would be getting married tomorrow.
If only December me knew what I know.

...Silence is the absence of energy
No vibration, movement, or synergy

Peaceful quiet we adore
Or the calm be...

I am the bitter taste of gall
...Is it wierd how my scars ache when I think of her (unbled blades, tap of streaming tears)
Is it odd how I wish to kick, stab, bludgeon her (the dog hung within the gallows, mellow flesh hung low)

Westward Wanderlust
...Westward wanderlust,
Wagon waltzes with Winter wine,
White watercolor walleye, windy-wallop.
Wading where wafers wage war,
Where warmth wanes without warning.
Wary whispers; weather will weath...

Bold shades lightly now a pool of brig...

The Man Who Is Not
...I've said it before,
But it seems you didn't understand,
So I showed you once more,
As I gently took your hand.

Tired of being taken for granted
They say do something good
Forgotten and unappreciated
Do something bad
They almost got it printed
What's good in doing good when it does...
