The music in my head
    keeps repeating
       lulls me into a calm
           plays piano
       that tinkles into
     the day with a
drowsy sway

The thrum in my chest
    the music of my heart
beats me on to play
    pushes energy strings
vibrating over yet

My bed calls my name
even in the afternoon
whispering seductive comforts
into dulled ears
That couch is a bed
in disguise it says
blankets kicked off by
anonymous feet
decades before mine
An armchair really is
a conformed hammock
waiting to cradle my bulk
between loose arms of
stuffed fabric
A table actually is

I have no legs
They’ve been cut out from under me
Phantom limbs in their place
Walk me through my days
Pain where a strong sure strut once stood
In time new improved
Limbs will send signals
To my brain
How will I stand without the pain

To each
In His or Her
Own time
To Find the
Precious one for one last time.
In order to share and care
Both together to sip for all allotment;
The finest vintage wines.
Rewarded by piquant patience

In-belief of hope for matrimony.
Fulfilled through earnest expressions sublime
Overt new and true love
Soothes bygone

Time ticking away falling from my hands

Time going astray falling through like sand

The whole world is waiting for me to arrive

Do you think they care if I weren’t alive?

Just watch me crumble into a mess on the floor

Like sand

If my

Well here we are on the other side of where we started

Filled with so much joy now left empty and broken hearted

Guess I wasn’t made for your world

Guess you were just that kind of girl

All those things you tried to get me to see

Guess

I remember parties that started so slowly you felt the urge to hold your breath.  People were milling trying to find out what to do.

It’s even harder

Memories are reflections of time gone by
good bad or otherwise.
It's an endless circle of life long lessons
thoughts that travel back through yesterdays moments.
Precious keepsakes of the mind
as some fast forward and some rewind.
Locked away they will forever stay
unchanged throughout the years of

God can take his fury out on us all.

By making the waters of heaven swell up and fall.

With a rage like no one had ever foreseen

Trying to make his people
