~Beautifully Unfinished~
Know that I shall not hang on
So why can’t I let go?
In my dreams when I’m with you
Somehow I forget to breath
You got me like a rag doll
Now I’m dancing on your string
And I keep trying
To figure out
Who you are to me
Maybe all that
We were meant to be
Is beautifully unfinished
Cause your’re the one
I can’t lose
You’re the one
That I can’t win
Maybe all that we were meant to be was beautifully unfinished

~Fat Tuesday~
Fat Tuesday is here
my Darlin Dear
Preemptive plight
Planned party
Late night
Mardi Gras is here
It’s that time of year
skies hued
yellow, purple, green aglow
The sounds clamoring
Fighting to outdo
each musical note
There we were dancing
Swaying to the beat of the
Floats the heat
Jazz music fills the streets
Down Canal street turning round to
cross over to Bourbon~
Take in each shot
Preemptively planned
Glass in hand
Other hand in yours
Flying high
beads round our neck making music
of their own
Debris in the streets
Faces smeared
Drunken flow
Dancing in flight
Cheap trinkets flying
Dashing, fighting, grinding
Preemptively planned party
Your eyes two lights flaming bright
watching your sexy arm
Light your Marlboro
Smiles and giggles
Two jokes only we are in on
Blowing your smoke out
Between your sexy lips
I get close and kiss your lips
Playfully biting the lower one
Endless fun
Pass that joint don’t bogard
It’s high time for all
It’s this night we aim to please
Preemptively planned plight
Gonna party all damn night
Then some more
On each street corner
Stands a whore
Sodom and Gomorrah
What a life Darlin what sight
Pulling you closer
Let this night never be over never be done~
The entire world is watching
All the court jesters
All the clowns
All the kings and queens on floats wearing their crown~
Hey that’s a decent poison
Crown Royal over rocks
Splash of water barkeep please
Don’t be stingy now pour long don’t tease~
Walking don’t dare run
And then it fades
Leaving, lingering
Till next year we preemptively plan again for this night~
Fat Tuesday Darlin Dear
I hear you whisper in my ear
As we float high above the rest
Preemptive plight party all night
Fat Tuesday
Madri Gras
We will do it again and again
Mardi Gras never ends~
Not for reproduction

~I Will Be the One~NJM~
I will be the one in the corner
Trying to not be seen
I will be the one speaking
Yet not being heard
I will be the one smiling
Yet hiding my true feelings.
I will be the one loving
Yet without understanding
I will be the one keeping my distance
Yet fearful of disconnection
I will be the one searching
Yet never to be found
I will be the one understanding
Yet never understood
I will be forever dreaming, forever hoping, praying
Yet judging it all
I will be the one fighting my cause
Yet struggling to maintain
I will be the one to determine
Yet what I will be~

Loneliness~
Loneliness
A feeling so singular
A despair that numbs
No one around you
No where for them to come
Much less would you run if they did
Who can you trust
In this life you have to have one
At least they say it’s a must
Don’t believe them
There is……
A home that is lost
Friends walk away
Seems in this life
Nothing will stay
Alone
In silence
Able to just think
To sink
Downward
Into the pits of ominous clouds
Thoughts of a past screams out loud
People who loved you
Lied
None kept
All I can feel
Is completely inept
A fear that grips
A suffering so real
That all you have left
Is no way to feel
But alone~

~Rocks in my Mailbox~
And if I planned my exit, like long ago, would you leave rocks in my mailbox after midnight, While I take refuge in the safety of my room?
And would you weep? Would tears fall? Upon that grand exit.. Upon the great fall. Rocks in the mailbox after midnight is all….
I held your hand .. You extended it back. I wept at my stupidity you watched with curiosity. “What should I do?” That’s what I asked you.
Tapping your finger against your chin… “Hmmm”…was your response… “Lets see” and you looked down from my bed and stared blankly at me.
In the distance we heard the door close.. Our eyes they did meet, as we listened to heavy footsteps of the monster with whom I did sleep.
As accusation were spewed out the mouth of this man. And in my mind i can hear my heart cry….I don’t think I can take no more, I don’t think that I can. Not here, not with this man.
But he wouldn’t shut up, bulging eyes did he have… Looking like someone stark raving mad. But you kindly got up and followed him out…. Down those stairs to the floor down below, to fill your head with thoughts yet to know.
I stayed there in silence on the floor of my room. For he would not let me rest, no rest.. Antagonizing me.. Curses. Several hours later you left.
Sadly You left.
But come night…yes at midnight you see you gathered a rock maybe two maybe three. Must have been midnight. I could sense you. Yes I could feel you….
And I wonder as I sit here, sit here year after year.. If I found that exit I so often seek, I’ll leave no one here for my voice to speak. Will you find out? And when you do, will you weep ? Will my face haunt you in your sleep? And will rocks be left in the mailbox after midnight for the memory you will keep…even my door step….lay by my feet…or would you beg instead because my words ring in your head all those things you never ever said…..
……And would you weep? Would tears fall? Upon that grand exit.. Upon the great fall. Rocks in the mailbox after midnight is all….
