portable romance

Portable romance

Aristotle sits in judgement

Drive by stare down

Close door

Lock in a room mirrors

One wall of windows

Overlooking roof tops and exhaust fans

Motivational mosh pit want to bees

When door closes

You’re stuck in a room

Window too small to crawl through

Ripping scar tissue on every move

Lights dim

The movie doesn’t start

Just another portable romance

Aristotle stares you down

Philosophy doesn’t matter to me

As if a dead man has a voice

Insatiable hunger

Empty clichés

Words tossed about

Yes means no

Maybe never

Smoke screens and reality

whats next

Gloating

Deliberately lost on you

The irony lost on you

In a game without a score

Damaged people tossed

Sitting in a down pour

No meaning to ordinary

Paying the ferryman

Out of turn

The cost burned in

Damaged goods at an outlet store

Perfection with flaws

Paradise accepts the slightly flawed

Asymmetrical goodness

What is the next line

Yet to be written

one day cliche

Ironic coincidence
 Obligation contradiction
   triple layer authentication
unlimited consequences
 definitive elegance
  an infinite allegory
   silent pain
everybody has to be somewhere
 weighted inside
  looking up with a little hope
   one day cliches
didn't aspect to live this long
 nothing really matters
 sometimes angles lie
  truth in every deception
Patience

Judgmental mockery

Judgmental mockery

Learn so much in the silence

A heart can hold only so much

Motivational oxymoron

Obvious in all the moon light

Fate laughs in the background

Karma is all about vengeance

Lost my religion long ago

Heard a whisper

Sweet goodbyes

Changed perceptive

Blinded in the light

Warmth in a broken man’s soul

A full heart feels empty

Words mean nothing till they do

Words that melt

Happiness can surprise

Seeping in for a moment

Pleasurable amazement

Washing the lines away

An artificial factual

the illusion of reality

Silence has a voice

Closed my eyes

Cleansing December rain

Pleasure waits on the beach

A fortune in critiques

Fate changes but still it waits

Chains that bind reality

Even as those words melt me

Pejorative eyes

little letters

Four little letters

So powerful together

Careful how you toss them around 

Shocked me the first time

So much trust in those letters

Careful how you toss them down

So many confuse them with desire

Till the heart evolves

Easily tossed about

Four little letters

Powerful enough to change the world

Meaningful enough to warm the soul

Second time it came like a gift

Rolling off your lips so smooth

Carelessly reassured

Broken people are fragile

Glimmering hope is refreshing

Brings warm with a chill

Disarming beam

Answering without shame

Carelessly comforting

Unconditional smile

Twenty Two

I miss you old man

Didn’t realize how much till it was too late

A family cliché taken for granted

You have gone where I can’t, for now

Sitting under the stars

Like we did decades ago

That cold brisk night in November

The snow was bigger than me

You held me in your arms

Told me stories about the stars

The warm memory flows in my veins

Memories in a bottle

The tears freeze on my cheeks

Each one burning into ice

The regret of selfish stupidity

Called you today

You didn’t answer

Know you wouldn’t but wish you could

Lifted the bottle took another swallow

It burned down my throat

Warming me inside out

Didn’t melt the ice though

The water is frozen like a mirror of heaven

Star light twinkles in the haze

The wind blows through me

It is silent except for the predators

That hunts in the gloom

The candle burns low

Going out after a time

I can see better now

I understand what must be done

We come into this life

Without mercy

We leave behind fleeting memories

Without a voice

Without eyesight

In this void that was life

Amber flows across the ice

Superficial

Just another pretty face

Good time girl

I know where I belong

You said lets hang out

I didn’t get my hopes up

Artificial pretty face

Deceitful beautiful

You asked what are you waiting for

I want everything

Not just little nothing

I don’t trust where fun is

So beautiful with a devil soul

You always call between boyfriends

Saying it feels right

Just not now

A one night stand

That won’t let go

Maybe I will see after the next one

Loving all the sun shine

Music waiting to long

Day into night

Night becoming day

Thinking about doing it all again

Turn and run

Music has all the answers

All real and shake

You said I know you like me

You can’t fake that

Handcuffed to not real

Dancing on the Mississippi

No rings and good times

you said lets hang out

a wish come true

a house of cards

made of glass

waiting for the wind to change

perfection missed

but moving on
