Learn Through my Mistakes

Anthony3 Comments

I’ll tell you a tale.

And I’ll show you a life lived.

Beauty and sadness.

–

Good Times and bad ones.

All the pleasures and the pain.

Are for the choosing.

–

What shall I share first?

All the insecurities.

All tribulations.

–

Here for the taking.

Just close your eyes and I’ll speak.

Decree my journey.

–

Words flow like a stream.

Some nightmares some a dream.

Mostly just serene.

–

When the story’s done.

You’ll know more about yourself.

Apply these lessons.

–

Live your best life now.

Take chances and change a lot.

Your journey is yours…

The sandman has left.

Leaving me bitter despair.

How can I sleep now?

–

Counting sheep won’t work.

Even counting large numbers.

Something has to work.

–

Try a Benadryl.

They sometimes make me tired.

Ugh I’m still awake.

–

Try and edible.

Slow down my brain and relax.

Relaxed, but awake.

–

Try melatonin.

They help me get tired fast.

If they work, that is.

–

I’ll just clear my mind.

Not a thought whatsoever.

Mind is now empty.

–

Gently meditate.

See everything and nothing.

Then let it all pass.

–

Thinking of methods.

To end my insomnia.

Have made me sleepy.

–

I’m almost drifting.

Embracing dark nothingness.

Sleepy bliss awaits…

It’s nearly sunset.

Oranges grow to reds and pinks.

Daylight it’s falling.

–

We dance on the beach.

In the day’s end afterglow.

We and the sky, burn.

–

I need your soft touch.

I get 1000 goose-bumps.

Each time you’re near me.

–

Shadows are now gone.

There just isn’t enough light.

But we do not mind.

–

A bright sun now sets.

But we are just beginning.

Sharing an embrace.

–

As you draw in close.

Your breathing, fast soft whispers.

Your heart, beating fast.

–

Your lips, sweet candy.

Warm and willing to meet mine.

We share long kiss.

–

The two become one.

United in passion’s fire.

Unending pleasures…

What else do you need

Glaciers retreat every year

Ocean temps are up.

Droughts all seem to last longer

Famine runs rampant.

Rain seems to fall much harder

Than it did before.

–

What else do you need

Once in a century floods

Occur more often.

–

What else do you need

Stagnant air is hard to breathe

Making many sick.

–

What else do you need

Massive brushfires scorch the earth

Death and destruction.

–

What else do you need

Hottest years on average 

In these last few years.

–

What else do you need

Whether our fault or the sun’s

It doesn’t matter.

–

What else do you need

I’m just not sure at this point

I think too late…

True Love When Two Become One by Anthony Falbo

Sweet taste on my tongue.

Overwhelmed by your fragrance.

A million lilies…

–

A delicate touch.

Makes me tingle all over.

Softer than velour.

–

An endless embrace.

We cannot let go just yet.

Passion won’t let us.

–

Breathless long kisses.

Each its own eternity.

Of many desires.

–

The heat, relentless.

It’s burning flames lick our skin.

Setting us on fire.

–

We both are consumed.

Two hearts beat faster as one.

As we melt and merge.

–

We are at union.

We cannot outlast the stars.

We try with effort.

–

Our brightness now dims.

Falling fast through time and space.

We now gently rest….

Feeling searing pain.

My entire world keeps spinning.

Migraines are the worst!

Each time I get up.

I am stunned by vertigo.

Aspirin is no relief.

My Poolside Paradise Mix

AnthonyLeave a comment

My poolside music.

Provides me a warm soundtrack.

Such an awesome mix…

–

Crossing all genres.

It’s mostly alternative.

With some classic rock.

–

Spanning many years.

From 60s to the 90s.

Such variety.

–

This is underground.

Compared to today’s music.

That’s how I like it.

–

The sun and the pool.

I’m surrounded by beauty.

And I’m rocking out!!!

It’s not set in stone.

The fates are not finished yet.

Heal and move forward.

–

I know you’re shattered.

And your heart feels like it’s gone.

You will love again.

–

Honest it’s the truth.

Heal and be your highest self.

Manifest your dreams.

This is not bullshit.

Building up the best life ever.

Is what you will do.

–

One day at a time.

You will become whole again.

A bright shining light.

–

Stand tall at the peak.

Most in the world never touch.

All that you can sense.

–

Most will never feel.

The vast flood of emotions.

They are not alive.

–

Stand alone for now.

Knowing you are everything.

Beyond everyone.

One in a trillion. Unique?

An understatement.

You, truly are, love.

Earth is just stupid.

Spirituals suffer the most.

Love is just that hard….

She drifted far far away.

From lover to friend.
