He's so subtle
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....

We've been told as little girls
"There's a man out there
for you"
But we meet them
find them less than men
find them grouchy as men
find them weak and timid men
Then we ask
"Are they really men?"
"Are there men out there?"
"Is there one for me?"
So we wait. And

Bags in my hands weighed me
down. I didn't know how I
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

Collection box of thoughts
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

At night towards the night. Future dream sleep undone. To die of night. It is in the morning in the brief mist that eternalizes itself that he expires of night.
                                                  Blanchot The Step Not Beyond

I consumed myself inside out
whether through love or angst
comprehension beyond understanding
being a Being (Dasien)

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

Promiscuous perhaps
Scandalous maybe
I am some of these
But I am not sexy

Sultry at times
Wanton at others
These are my adjectives
But I am not sexy

Licentious I think
Profligate I doubt
You may use these
But I am not sexy

Beautiful I like
Attractive I am
Gorgeous I
