Windy Winter Night 

On a gusty windy winter night 

Feel no sadness or fright

Everything is alright 

This pure flame burns bright 

Climb to reach a new height 

With happiness in sight 

Hard past worth the plight 

Gaze hard and see the light 

Bidding adieu and goodnight…

Our Meeting Place

We stood together in the parking lot of our meeting place one last time.

I had been holding a 25 pound bag of ice so my hands were ice cold. 

Not thinking I placed them on her face as I kissed her and she shivered and shimmied in shock and surprise. 

I quickly warmed my hands and gently caressed her face. 

I kissed her again and her checks warmed further turning a little red in the darkness. 

She kissed back and for one fleeting moment, time froze for what would be our last kiss…

Journey of a Lifetime

Winter is frigid

Winter is cold.

Cold day in hell

Cold as ice.

Ice cream sundae

Ice cream man.

Man of the house

Man of war

War what’s it good for

War games.

Games a plenty

Games people play.

Play the record

Play on words.

Words of wisdom

Words can kill.

Killer in you is the killer in me

Kill eye.

Eye of the beholder

Eye of the tiger.

Tiger eyes

Tiger lily.

Lily livered

Lily White.

White shoulders

White room.

Room service

Room with a view.

View to a kill

View from the window.

Window washer

Window to my soul.

Soul mate

Soul kitchen.

Kitchen aid

Kitchen sink.

Sink that put

Sink or swim.

Swim in the main stream

Swim in the sea.

Sea of Cortez

Sea of Joy.

Joy ride

Joy to the world.

World in my eyes

World without love.

Love of a lifetime.

Love is a journey.

Lifetime…

Journey…

You tear me apart with every word

You strip away my flesh and bone

This situation is quite absurd

You’re toxic treatment I can’t condone

You manipulated me and told lies

Many false words led me astray

Relationships dwindle when the love dies

The best parts of me were ripped away

I covered you in my blanket of love

You smothered me in your cruel hate

I brought you peace like a dove

And you left me to choke on my fate

Through great effort I lost all that weight

And I gained a lot of muscle

You never noticed until it was too late

Rendering moot much my hustle

A starving man, I was neglected

As your love was withheld from me

Instead of being protected

Your ugliness consumed me

I wanted to be your lover

Though you never really did care

Instead I got screwed over

And you were my cross to bear

So I had bid goodbye to you

Long before you left our sacral bed

Today I try to think the best of you

But worms of your memory burrow holes in my head… ~ ~ ~

Dirty Diana

Of all the Diana’s and their claim to fame

You’re the far dirtiest with that name.

You truly don’t know where lowest low is 

But I must tell you, you’re there sis. 

Lying, deception, manipulation, and greed 

I hated myself and you planted the seeds.

Low self esteem, misery, I was on a roll 

All the more easier for you to control.

As a result, my health took a nose dive

You couldn’t care less, if I were dead or alive.

Zero intimacy not even near misses 

Since another, got all your kisses.

Home from work, but I couldn’t vent

Lest you would tell me to go “get bent”.

You took my money and destroyed my credit

You should be thankful there’s no ‘Women’s Reddit’.

You even got alimony from me for two years 

And all I got from you were tears.

You said cruel things and had a lot of nerve

Karma will find you, granting what you deserve…

Grim Chill

Grim was cold as he could be

He was ice to everyone that’d see.

He’s chilled to start

With an iceberg for a heart.

He’ll cool your beverages for a fee…

Narc 101

Why are you doing this to me?

Just stop it and set my heart free.

You’re being so cruel.

Played me for a fool.

That’s your rule.

To a “t”.
