If I dive down
deep...
A fogginess
in my thoughts...
I’ve’ forgotten how stones get tossed
After thrashing my mind around secluded ponds...
It has not rained here in weeks
But I am drenched to the bone...
Have you ever given your all?
And to your heart be fully true...
Winter is here again,
bringing a touch of frost...
Some hang onto yesterday,
yet I hang onto my ecstasy...
2:41 a.m., I woke up startled
when a missile plummeted in a backyard...
My mouth started watering
That is 1 of 3 things...
I wish I had faith
That everything was going to be okay...
Beauty doesn't guarantee all things good
Nor happiness laid on an open plate...
I still keep your flowers on the kitchen table
A reminder of what once was and no longer is...
