Reasons

Because I need more time Love isn’t an ice cream you lick It doesn’t melt in the sun It burns in here Look.   Because I’m not ready yet My feet have cracked and my soul is weak Love isn’t a bottomless well of forever It sizzles like antacid powder And then flat   Because […]

Reincarnation

The grey skies darkened the overcast minds the broken, fearful, submissive souls at the prick of a needle I closed my eyes and wandered into the passage of recycled life. Creator Sustainer Destroyer Mr. G, what will you be for me?   Flushed down rivers of acid I fell on my stomach on a black […]

Telling Me Things I Know

I sat with you sleepy eyed You’re telling me about something Yes, I’m listening. Yes, I am listening.   So you tell me about your aching heart. Tell me life’s unfair. Life is bitter and life is sour. And, boy, you’ve had your share.   You get up and go to the restroom. . Remember […]
