"Come " said a fat bumblebee
"Come follow me to this oak tree."
I followed as off he buzzed
for no other reason than because
this tree also called my name.
A strong trunk supported sturdy
branches long and burly.
Two squirrels used it as a gym
entertaining both me and them

You don't notice the scars
Until he's gone...
His charm seduces
His smile invites you
Even his clever tongue
Eases your doubts
Yet when he leaves
When his damage is complete
You are tainted...
You cry and weep
You scream and sleep
But you can't escape
The memories....

managed to keep walking. But
the music oh the music was
so sweet. Asphalt became rivers
and streams of dreams. The sidewalk was
now my dirt pathway. The moon
shown down to transform streetlights
into branches. Concrete slabs were
blocked by tree-trunks occasionally

filling eyes nearly blind
Over-analyzing or
just thinking contemplating
actions/motives goals-moles-holes
souls and soles
Too much for
one brain to sift through
Answers only bring
more questions with no
solutions or contributions
to the confusion and
dissillusion
of an over-worked mind

The heart shattered into pieces with gain of news
I shall remain in the dark shadow cast over me from this.
My trust to never be taken again
Heart on

Foolishness.
I thought you would take my breathe away each time we embrace thought we would feel high up in the stars looking down on everything that hates but quite honestly its more of a battle than anything. Each time we take a step forward reality sets in and pushes us back further. Not to say I'm

Impossible Summer
Leavening the air becomes silted;
It smells as though the city
Has moved on the shore of a lake

Trekking to the village to dunk
my sorrows in a cup of joe
I note in the roadside rubble
a mushroom with an agony
of inlaid countenance. Maybe
some underground

Why did I create this world?
With its torturous curiosities
Demented absences
Of a wholly degenerate
Splintering?
Was it alpha or omega?
This world that assails me
With tremendous
