shhhhh

my thoughts ~ my words ~ my tear

[lostinzen]

there comes a time

when the fruit

is ripe upon the vine,

to see what you know

feel what you know

know what you know

m

[lostinzen]

the bells

we ached for

in school

m

[lostinzen]

i always wondered

if that sweet Georgia

ice tea stunted my growth

as a child and teen

i coulda been 6'3"

i coulda been a contender

m

[lostinzen]

I liked her old nose

But she cut it off

For a new one

According to the trend

And law of vanity

m

[lostinzen]

I saw you

in the distance,

years ago.

You were dark,

seemingly -

colour and poise,

and i was innocent

and unschooled

in my youth.

Maybe it was me

that was dark -

clumsy awkward fear.

Maybe it was just

the wavering fluorescent force field

between us, and you

standing upon the moon

so alone;

so far from everything known,

unapproachable,

undeniable,

yet close

in darkness

and essence.

m

[lostinzen]

>

your hair upon my pillow

left mingling with mine,

braided by our love,

as it was

as it was

m

[lostinzen]

Oh, to laugh

and laugh,

again

m

[lostinzen]

why are you

wearing a mask

in your car

alone

m

[lostinzen]

I loved her

So much that, I

couldn't see myself

I became invisible

[lostinzen]

today, I almost laughed

my humor is working overtime

to heal itself

m

[lostinzen]

a butterfly's life

only seems to end,

because...

we intend it to,

with imperfect eyes

m

[lostinzen]

strange memories,

chained to that song

of sweet hooks,

twenty years past

m

[lostinzen]

she was wearing an essence

of natural musk

extremely rare

she could very well be

the only person

in the world

to ever atomize it

m

[lostinzen]

I enjoy brushing

My last remaining tooth

It's a time saver

Quick and easy

No excuses not to brush

For without this sparkling gem

I would be toothless

m

[lostinzen]

her finest poems

never embraced

never unwrapped

hidden forever

in the depts

of cleavage

m

[lostinzen]

Unwash that brain

That's been washed

By the mainstream

m

[lostinzen]

Day 26

natural oils and musk

covered with an invisible petina

of stifled perspiration

enhancing itself

with each passing day

atomized from within
