regretless
But I’ve become a worn welcome to chance, having dreamt near all I’ve done.
words. music.
But I’ve become a worn welcome to chance, having dreamt near all I’ve done.
I have exactly three cardboard boxes that smell of musty rental storage.
I don’t dare care. Against what they say, I know.
My heart abruptly, but softly, suggests, “Tell her.”
The past is a curious optic.
Across my forty years, I’ve been wrong aplenty.
The past is a foreign country…
And wheels within wheels is each cloud rolling across her eyes as they uplift…
Regardless of what, in whom or how you believe, faith is conceptually necessary.
It’s a sun-kissed day by this coastal balustrade…
Because two-steppin’ spins are highfalutin…
There’s a numbness in your sadness…
I’ve heard some say, ‘reason reigns.’
Inevitably, Pain and Love are banded…
An ache the late season achieves.
I am poetry.
That day, as I recall, seemed so accursedly longer than most…
Somber are the tones of the porch-chime…
The path through fatherhood may look like a ball of knotted yarn…
When I was Icarus on a banana-seat Schwinn…
Life is an esplanade…
They don’t look the same, taste the same or smell the same…completely, unanimously, inarguably different…
Love is insatiably selfish…
So were the halves of one homeless man…
He sighed, “Unwelcome, yes, but I had to come…To beg of you your private shoulder…”
I have a mind to sling it, in the most physically awkward and ridiculously violent way…
Give in? They say don’t. And I won’t…
…it’s okay for my heart to have a few irreconcilable differences with my mind…
To decipher the whispering hieroglyphs hung…
True heartache is a restless, hissingly dangerous snake…
