Wayward Souls
He kisses your shoulder,
then your cheek.
His touch makes your knees weak.
How do I know?
Before you, and a dozen more,
it was me.
Now, I’m a faded memory,
as you will be.
Don’t believe me?
I too used to laugh at the absurdity.
He could never leave me.
As he grows older,
his women get younger.
Curiously, they look like me at 23.
How cruel fate ...

Todo el Tiempo
I think about you all the time,
without reason or rhyme.
You are like a tattoo,
on my mind.
Todo el tiempo.
Enternal souls,
intertwined.
Dancing, dodging,
in this cosmos
for a little while.
Creating sparks of love,
to lessen lonely nights,
and light up dark skies.

You and Me
Hold on to the dream,
of you and me,
floating free
in air and sea.
After all the drama,
a lifetime of battle scars,
it's still you and me,
for all eternity.

Elixir
I drink the elixir of your words
to calm my nerves,
to hear the crunch of leaves
on my way to brighter days,
to see another creative soul
soar above the chaos of a broken life,
to witness corrosion
turn to gold,
to prolong the beauty of this moment,
indefinitely.

Shine On
Don't ever let anyone convince you
to not share your soul songs.
The weaponized words
they hurl towards you,
are formed from
their own insecurities.
You get one shot,
in this time and space,
accompanied by
crabs in a bucket,
and a host of other cliches,
determined to control
your creative mind.
Give in to dark energy,
and you become it.
Rise above it.

A Cautionary Tale
Come close if you must,
to my heart of rust.
Taste my sorrows
of ash and honey,
beneath the illusion
of love and money.
After the show,
your life’s a mess,
you’ll fall in line
with the rest.
. . .
It’s not too late,
to change your fate.
Turn away from a life
of heartbreak.
What you seek
is found within,

Filtered Memories
Back seat kisses,
backyard volleyball,
barbecues,
long walks in the woods,
sunbathing on the beach,
smiling, laughing,
talking for hours,
holding hands,
slow dancing to George Straight songs,
making love until dawn,
falling asleep in each other’s arms...
Filtered memories,
behind the sheer curtain of my mind,
or fantasies,
found in a bottle
of ...
