An Unforgettable Life

Of what decay of decline must a man climb

For his honor to define such a loss of grace

Other sons felt heat from devastating defeat

I want you to go

To  preschool

And mash the crayola crayons

Into tiny shards of wax

And bulldoze every block tower

With your sticky-fingered fist

Sunrise 5AM

 

In the expanse of an open field, a u-seat swing creaks, sweeping back and forth.

 

The marsh of spongy woodchips blankets a rectangle, cedar carpet with plywood parameters. Area: 1500 square feet. 12 and ½ feet high at the top of the tallest slide.

Im Scorched

A burnt yellow in disregard

for daily tasks, and words.

I hate them. It's all I can muster.

I follow quickly behind the yawn that folds me over

my desk; in hibernation against the world.

Hurt me then expose me to the cold

Rape me inside you, me and my mortal soul

Oh! But for love of her ravishing stains

Cuts nor bruises can’t bleed in this game

I still remember the way your knee bumped so casually into mine,

as to speak softly like one tender finger outlining lips -so sensual.

The intensity in your green eyes, I recall with fascination never departing.

Or the comical prose which led our fleeting embrace to begin.

I try to make love to my husband,

While sheep jokes tell themselves in my head,

 

Remnants of you.

 

I take a blast from the peace pipe,

And my mind hits the ceiling, before the smoke does,

 

Remnants of you.

A story for two  
Every page written for you
A glimpse into life, beyond the wall
What it is and would be 
An experience of darkness and light
A truer life never lived before
A greater love never wanted more

When human class so pure extends past all light

In souls only can it shine

In heart full of grace from this human race

Within ourselves can we finally find

An answer to life so divine

It was a tale for you                        it was  paradise                 I experienced in the dark

Lines run

Into blurred horizons

 

Clashing with the

Colors so bold

 

Warring silently

In twisted hues and shades

Trying to decide the day
