When I am old I plan to live in a trailer full of cats.
I'll talk cat talk and walk cat walk
and dream of birds and rats.
I'll eat cat tuna and meow at the moona

Oh dear readers.
Please accept my apologies for my crude and uncivilized tongue...
(I am allowed to use the word tongue aren't I, not quite sure) .
I care not to offend or upset the delicate balance of your universe by my expression of thought and feeling, as rudimentary or primal as they be..
...

What spell could be cast to take us back in time?
Where is the genius who has conquered time travel when we need him,
or her, most?
To what deity must I pledge my service to who can bring
...

Your baritone swirls through my senses.
Rich like swirls of chocolate falling from the spoon to my waiting tongue.
Visions of glittering golden whirlpools in the afternoon sun, eye candy to my ears.
Timbre, plush and warm envelops.
...

Why can't I live in the moment?
I keep searching for emotion that is profound in trivialities.
I read ahead or fall behind, either way missing the meaning.
My shore lays exposed, easily ravaged by the yawning sea,
...

I am a dinosaur on display,
See how ridiculous I act?
I am expressing sounds unheard in this arena.
Expectations of excellence? Wtf?
...

You would never let me in.
No matter how close, you were never able to let down your defenses.
I gave all that I am.
I know it's not much but it was all I had.
...

Oh but what a sight for sore eyes!
Six four, orangutan arms and gun metal eyes that narrow like a bird of prey.
I feel ' congested ' when I think of your touch.
I feel congested all of the time.
...

You answered questions never asked.
How can this be?
Your eyes were blue, the color used to see dreams and futures unraveled.
Did you cast your runes to predict my thought?
...

One more hour with you. One more moment in time to smell your skin,
to hear your heartbeat in my ear.
Lay with me again giant!
I want to taste your kiss, feel your skin on mine, be
...

We carry our dead upon our backs.
Old skins protecting us from the new.
These talisman provide us no magic, no fortune.
All grief and sadness, they are
...

Memories ramble across the tracks of my mind.
Certain touches,
words,
kisses.
...

Rivulets of silver make crystalline track marks as they flow.
I look for you everywhere I go.
I see you everywhere we went.
Perhaps you sheltered me from some greater evil...
...

How can pain inspire as much, if not more, than love?
I regret the day we met and yet, I wonder how I've ever
lived without you.
The real world disappears as if by sleight of hand when
...

And Luna asked Sol, why do you hide me away?
Is it because I change from day to day?
I am a sliver of gold in the darkness of night,
or a pale shadowed orb lighting the lovers' path at night.
...

And a year has passed between us.
An eternity in days counted by the heart.
You exist in another place and time, with other damsels
in distress and jesters in your court.
...

Tonight we dance among the scattered leaves.
Their colorful cloaks enchant the eye, the richness
of their crackle and crunch delights the ear.
Harvests end has arrived!
...

You knew where I was then, where I am still.
I cannot know the tale for it was not mine to hear.
And so, I wait...and wonder.
The phantom stalking me at my vulnerable hour.
...

She is a perfect peach.
Soft and round, her rotting inside only revealed in
her self destruction.
Our crutches turn against us, defiling our best efforts
...

Your ghost haunts my halls in visions of parking lots
and diners and low budget hotels.
You had to vanish and so you did, leaving behind
these corpses in their wake.
