Done Again

By taking the sweet with the sour our love was not perfect but true

With the heat of a blistering sun, we connected

But trust was overdue

Feelings never protected

It should have gone beyond beauty and age

Lasted through the disturbance

We have both been locked in a cage

Then the reality surfaced

A love lost and a message found

Gone is the bliss

Let someone else wait for you to come around

And get a false kiss

One thing I can say is that we are each other's first loves we have no prior experience so you can listen to what other people say just remember they have failed where we have survived

An email I wrote to my sweetheart

Love, 

m.

Oh Sweet Sugar

I held the moon as I danced with the wolves

Then chased the sleep that had gotten away

Woke to a decalescent winter sun

Is there coffee?

Must make the appointment on time, so I can sit and wait

With the others who forgo lessons for fun

Now we must listen because it has become too late

And I must pay attention to them debate whether, a fruit must be blended or juiced

or eaten whole for full nutrition

But I cannot eat the sweet anymore

Too much sugar

It's in the genes

Something gotten that cannot be given away

What, no chocolate?

My substitute for sex

No flour

Only the one in the garden for me

It has come to an end

Carbs was a devious friend

Time to exercise the demon away

Before my blood turns to clay

The Gift

The consciousness,

the watch that is always present

It does not go back and it does not leap forward

If imagined, it can exist

Now

Even somewhere in an alternate universe where all dreams are real

In mine, everything tastes sweet and salty but you do not gain a pound

And with the beauty of a frozen lavender sunset

There is peace,

but not just the quiet kind

This world exists because of perception

Made from one perfect form that was an idea in an omnipresent mind

Calumny

Camouflaged by a tapestry of fabrications

You intrigued my spirit

Until an innocent, reveals ye in derision

And a feverish beast is unleashed

Nothing is left to blend in

All the colours have faded

Everything is now black and white and the existence cannot be hidden

Chaste and benevolence was met by dirt

Time to escape the facade so there will be no future tragedy
