I can show you my world
where madness reigns
and sense is lost.
Fiction and poetry writing, recapturing the muse.
I can show you my world
where madness reigns
and sense is lost.
Principles or
hard-earned convenience
is a choice you must make.
Either way you’ll live
with the anxiety,
waiting for the
consequences.
Almost a stone lighter
yet no one has noticed,
the change
too subtle over too long
a time means
any achievement
is blended with
the ordinary,
and ignored.
Syringe your system
back into normalcy,
liquid to encourage
motivated your body
and remember
how to function,
because you are
not done living,
we are not done
loving you.
Telltale objects of white
make your actions obvious
and the need of me
unwanted.
Why try to lie if you
leave them in plain view?
Or is it just so shocking
I would dare ask at all?
Better to tiptoe around
and pretend my needs
are dead.

Dismiss the caretaker
but fail to step up,
leaving hungry, confused creatures
wondering why no one
comes to fill their bellies
or groom their woes away.
23:29
A rubicon cluster of confusion,
each section a separate worry
that sticks together
and presents itself
all at once.
No matter how you
turn it, match it,
the solution
eludes you
and you can’t
subside the panic.
23:28
The way of water
flows with seduction,
teasing trickles
slide down your body
and warm your senses,
sucking out tension
and lavishing
enticing cleanliness,
leaving you born anew
and able to
start again.

Bob is coming back,
slowly reforming
through the clean clothes
waiting to be sorted.
It grows with each new addition,
garments forming its body,
breaking off into multiple piles
and taking over the house.
Soon Bob will cover all
until the drawers are bare,
the wardrobes empty
and washing machine obsolete.
No one can stop Bob,
we are too lazy.
23:26
No trick, no deceit,
just a genuine desire
to be close,
for a comforting embrace
and a moment
where only we exist
where we can draw strength
and face our separate
day’s struggles,
knowing you are waiting
at the end.
Please, just a small moment?
Please.
