i forgot to fill the tub
so the bath was rather dry
forgot to pour the coffee
so i couldn’t open my eyes
should have stayed in bed
but it doesn’t
turn off the day
the tea
in a cup
leaves stains
no leafs to

your heart speaks
who is listening
who hears
the thump the thump the thump
that speeds
when
the mind
is infatuated
totally out of rest
uncontrollably captivated
inarticulate at best

wishing
hoping
that
1 would guess
the goings on inside

in the scheme
of things
there is nothing wrong
with wanting to be loved
but no one does
yet everyone feels the same

suddenly doing the dishes
isn’t so lonely any more
finding
taking the trash out
not a chore

in the back of the mind

i love when
you call
my name
it’s like
the wind whispering
on a hot summer eve
the sun close to set
the water
calm
blue
serene
sucking me into
ecstasy
feeling
drowned
in the quenching drink
handed to

:)……. often & a lot – from the heart…………..

laugh until tears roll
let your pulse beat at a faster rate
then gently let go
of me
yet always holding
a yearn
no need to turn
the other cheek
for the wisdom sought
caught
in

skirt the issue
lay fiction with fact
the rally
the relay
under attack
bring meaning to all discourse
mentioning dysfunctional names
not playing
to win
life’s game remains
pick up your piece
act the part
if your nose
is bent
do
