Keeping Time

Spilled Milk

I’ll clean up your riches with my rags and take a
deep
breath
for your every step.
I’ll stifle a laugh every time you candy-coat your ignorance with
repulsive
excuses.
How bittersweet.


Nevermind all this. 
I’ll keep to myself and keep scrubbing,
knowing that if you tried, you couldn’t get past the layer of
scum that coats your initial judgement.
I’ll keep smirking.

The Place Between the Eye and the Soul

ponderbox:

I’d like to take those brown eyes and give them everything beautiful

A forever bloom

Bringing life and radiating warmth

Euphoric and invigorating 

Cascading over your entire world 

I’d like to show you everything

I could let you loose and you could be actively lost

The soft blue light above being your gentle guide 

A beauty that is and forever will be

Within your sight

Recipe for disaster
Get bored
Spend 4 hours trying to make Indian samosas (make the dough and roll that shit out and everything)
Cry and throw samosas at wall
Watch dog sniff nervously at samosas
Watch dog run away
Start drinking gin
Start argument with your own memory about some old TV show
Look for answer on internet
See whats happening on facebook

A Log House Searches for Fire in Winter

I wish I had a hand to hold
One to soften the blow
An anchor to keep me from sailing away
Or an ocean to keep me afloat

Where is your spotted skin
Or your laughable condescending grin
Begging for some security
It’s security keeping you in

Oh, wait. I’ve been here before
In a place with unknown reward
I’ve been here contently waiting
Always waiting for more.

     I wish I knew your mother’s name, or how you perceive religion. What thoughts lie beneath chiseled bone? What words linger behind clasped lips?
    This halo effect doesn’t keep me high anymore. I was granted a wish by an intoxicated nymph. She gave me you, but no other wish. I shoveled for answers in a handsome terrain only to find an empty tin.
     I wish I knew your favorite game, or how you play this one.

Secure Me, Experiment.

Oh, what a feeling,
I can’t put my finger on.
It’s the area between singing
A catchy, but sad song

It hurts to feel warm again,
Because I doubt it so.
It’s a feeling fools feel,
And it won’t let me go

A shared smile,
A winter coat,
A brush of the cheek,
Can’t you feel it?
Maybe,

But we can’t see further than the in-between.

He Stopped Loving Her Today
Last Autumn I went out to that new mega church in the suburbs. Everyone just looked at their I-phones while the minister gulped hot coffee and screamed at Gods crotch. I was still heartbroken over losing Tammy but I’d made my final decision and found peace.
I’d decided to go to the old steakhouse after church, have myself a ribeye and a few highballs, then I’d blow my brains out while I rode the mechanical bull. But once I got a bellyfull of meat and whiskey and drew my revolver, riding that bull …ohh the screams! I still get hard when I think about it.
