WE

We stopped time
as well as filled space.
Thwarted all doubters
who got up in our face.

Pulled down the stars
for our own twinkled needs.
Each glimmer spread out
like a new field of seeds.

We walked past the lines
drawn by history's demand.
Made our own connections
danced by our command.

We joined as a unit
away from the day's fray.
As the world saw us
not one cloud turned gray.

At times sailed the heavens
took walks up thru the sky.
Embracing our own world
allowing pain to pass on by.

Nothing is actually perfect
we're so much further ahead
by not living our lives
in the way others said.

Sun shines thru the darkness
Lady Moon smiles on our home
Life is but a saucy sport
as if in the Super Dome.

We made a connection
like none made before.
A home run of sorts
the best of the score.

Memories Strangle Me

The memories often strangle me
the scars feel more like a blur.
Way back deep in that recall spot
emotions of the soul concur.

The relationship, always torrid
blinded me to any real thought
allowing everything I couldn't stand
like the confusion she brought.

We communicated only with sex
little of what she said added up
but I ignored the facts I saw
just wanted her blossom to suck.

Off again then on again
a regular method we used
blinding me to the reality
I was being abused.

Misread her personality
more attention went to her thigh
till I actually finally realized
the girl was constantly high.

No, that's a lie I'm telling
she was for real quite stoned
and the only way she came back
was to get torridly boned.

She wanted to stay with me
but I refused that line of smack
when I came to my senses
told her I never wanted her back.

Memories strangle me
scars feel more like a blur
Life returned to clarity
when I finally was rid of her.
