i once gave all my secrets away.
i gave all my hopes and dreams,
                                       even the horrible things.
i loved whole-heartedly,
                  one fragment at time.
                                       i did do that once in my life.
burn.

i attempt to unravel, undress
these barriers now standing-between
                  
you  a n d  me.

i fear the parts i gave along the ride,
are presently no longer mine
to own,
              they were stolen somewhere-
                                              upon the irrecoverable road.
i search subdued secrets
                                   and invisible inclinations-
only to find,
              what appears to be,
this tattered tangled                                                 twisted mind.
                is diminished by
                                         long-lost-leftover             love.
                                                             stale but           dispensing
hopes and dreams,
                                     even the horrible things.
so long as you promise
to keep them somewhere safe

i promise                                         one day,
                to open locked gates-
                                              and give to YOU
                                                                            all my secrets away.

Feeling guilty now.
Never got to know my father's Father.
And now he lays with grim reaper stalking,
Haunting, woefully taunting.
I wish I could have done more.
Had one more day, chance, conversation.
If only.
Lord be kind to ones you call home.
And to the ones who bear the aftermath.
Let him go in peace, and his memory soar.
I just wish I could have
Done more.

No other man has made me feel so foolish.
Driven me to snoop and peek.
To prowl and scheme.
No other man has done this to me.
Made me question his story everytime he'd leave.
Never have I been with a man, who promised me he'd cheat.
How blind do I have to be?
I'm finding out....
Through this disgusting jealousy.

With the sun setting behind me
I behold, with my back turned away.
I feel its warmth fading as swiftly as it came.
I shutter, and shiver from the wet breeze-
And the fear that the sun may never come back to me.
I stand here, with your gaze upon mine.
You reassure me-
The sun will rise again.
And when it does, there you will be.
Grasping firmly to my hand.
With the waves fixed before me,
I twiddle but a twinkle of relief.

In a midnight lamentation,
the soul (suppressed) of reprobation,
wallowed in wasted conspiracies-
unjust (censored) confirmations.

My shoes (foundation) which were half on,
stained the beer (love), which was half gone,
that he camped- (devoted) so entitled,
marvelously, (masculine) so magnificently upon.

Ongoing obstacles, alluring alike,
repressed restraints depicted, despite-
ones that evaded, encompassed our love,
which freshly, faithfully, finally took-flight.

That beer (blazing) tottered so temping-
wrongfully, radiantly, reluctantly-right!
It swiveling-and-spinning, (dangling) around the axis of life,
Makes this, yet another- lamentation in the night.

I would give anything to make you coffee.
To hold your gaze in the blissful, morning silence.
I would pet your mind, discreetly.

I would give anything to be the fly on your wall.
To just attain your advances.
To see your smile.
To harvest the scent of your hair.
I would let you love me.
I would provide you the promises that I once could not.

...just another morning rant.

...so now this is all out in the open.
What do you suggest we do?
Go with the flow...
continue to subdue?

Everything is a lie-
...the only truth.

...so let's part ways because I-
cannot
extinguish my youth?

a... GHOST... that haunts me.
an... OLD LIFE... that taunts me.
a... BIRD... I cannot seem to set free.

...still want to take this journey with me?


a... NOT... read.
