Everything Was A Hassle

I should have known...
Nothing ever ran smoothly
Everything was a hassle
I always lost

Finally the final date
In court. The chance
To settle. To move on
set months ago.
Set in motion years ago

Cancelled by her
For no good reason
There never was
a good reason
Everything was a hassle
I always lost

I am not going to lose
Anymore.

Hurting Patterns

She hurts...

The reflux
From an angry
Pointer

Blindly
Spewing bile
In rage

Guaranteed to
Force the Winter
Keep her lost
Inside her cage

No winners here
Patterns that
Never worked
Still not working

Safety first
...or what?
Shut the door
Home safe

Abide

I love you now
and that will endure
when the real
bleakness comes

Smile

The moment
Of her smile
Could light
A million rooms
Her mommy face
Her music face


It hurts so much
To see it fade
Into the worries
Of yesterdays
And tomorrows

Times beyond
Our control
Snuffed by
Her smile

Morning Coffee

I picture my love
In the quiet solitude
Of couch and coffee
Serene

No rush rush rush
No need
to get dressed yet
No words to break
The peace

I love mornings
Like this too.
Alone, even
Without you
Re charge

Funny thing is
It is just as
Peaceful
When we're
Together

Love Without Borders

Push and pull
My docket's full
Everybody wants
A piece of me

Tick and tock
Twenty four
on a clock
Never seems
To be enough

Giving and living
hearts of gold
Oceans away
From serenity

What do I want?
No one really asks

Inner peace and
Enough for all.

Content with
What we have
and
Who we are

Content with
what we get
Without regret

Thirst
Things
First

Thrive
Alive

Love
Without
Borders

Square Peg, Round Hole

square peg
round hole
Break a leg
Asshole

Brute force
Fail
Shoot force
Fail

Push the button
Squirm, baby squirms
End up with nothing
eaten by worms

You try to hurt
before you're got
on red alert
You splatter fault
