sadness

there is sadness here today and there has been for a while

soaked into these walls smudged into the carpet

hanging over us from the cieling seedy-looking chandeliers.

it has been here for a while and we have become accustomed to it

we wear it like a cloak every morning

sit with it at breakfast share our toast with it

sadness lives here it has for a while

and we know nothing better anymore nothing

than this gloom and this state

and it feels too right.

your simple rhetoric crumbled my world

left me on cold bathroom tiles wondering why you stopped calling me

your words as heavy as blows your shrugs piercing like daggers

do you know how much it hurt when you stopped calling my name?

point of reasoning

my reasoning is simple:

1. i am lost alone 2. i therefore need help 3. You happen to be my help so it follows that 4. i must rely on You.

our romance

our kind of romance is old it is not young, loud, audacious

our kind of romance has a mature feel about it as if it came late and we are not used to it this

long walks on beaches this new companionship

we maneuver around each other electrons around an atom

charged but unsure

is it true? have i finally found you?

after years of pilgrimage of searching

our romance it is new, albeit old

it is exciting but understandable

it is real finally

it has happened you have happened to me.

It’s kind of ridiculous that you’re expected to get out of bed EVERY day

[larmoyante]

there is a loneliness in this world so great that you can see it in the slow movement of the hands of a clock. people so tired mutilated either by love or no love. people just are not good to each other one on one. the rich are not good to the rich the poor are not good to the poor. we are afraid. our educational system tells us that we can all be big-ass winners. it hasn’t told us about the gutters or the suicides. or the terror of one person aching in one place alone untouched unspoken to watering a plant.

Charles Bukowski, “The Crunch” (via larmoyante)

i do not want the remnants of your affection i don't want your half-baked hugs, concern, love grudgingly given because you think perhaps i am desperate for you and your friendship

i don't want any of it.

sun and tea

when we sit on damp grass in the dawning air and drink from paper cups tea laced with brandy

i like what it feels like you sitting next to me the early sun in our faces stirring us awake

you remind me of my father your loud laugh dancing eyes quiet grace

i like my tea with you beside me i like the sun the way it burns softly gently on our skin

How can a woman be expected to be happy with a man who insists on treating her like a perfectly normal human being?
