and in the end

Somehow there is never enough time
ours is resignation to fate
"yes me"
no more hope, anger, denial
just an acceptance
of the inevitable
no longer able to fight
this unseen enemy...
tears held back
now flow easily... not in pity
for oneself... but just
an outpouring
of overwhelming feelings

Trying to buy time

We search for answers
where there are none
you try to make bargains
with God...
Please save me and I promise..
and we turn to medicine
the cure all.... and the healers
Doctors who can cure all
can't they?
Hoping a cure can be found
miraculously... just in time
trying to buy time
with hope

Creepy Neighbors

He touches you
with such gentleness
it awakens all the desires
you've closed off
never dreaming someone
with the midas touch
would reawaken you
and damn....
He's a good lover
this one thing you know
by God he's a man....
because he knows it
and never has to prove
himself... by cursing
and shouting bullshit
so never ask me neighbor
the answer
would always... be no

Never Doubt It

When I say
a gentle man
appeals to me...
one with a soft, raspy voice
that echoes down your spine
who's eyes reach out
to touch the soul of you
who's very smile
exudes sexual activity
of the brain...
this man, this soft man
never has to seduce you
or say...
we're both consenting adults
he merely states facts...
"I'm going to take off
all your clothes
and make passionate love
... to you"
and you never doubt
his ability
or his masculinity...

Losing It

Lately I've been dying
more than usual it seems
giving away memories
and losing all my dreams

Put to rest

Thought I'd miss you
but you'd been gone
so long before you died
that dying didn't matter
it was just a formality
and now it's put to rest

Getting Mad

We find the world
does not stop turning
because of one's rage...
The pain is in knowing
we must leave behind
those we love
this separation is frightening
we cannot live through them
and it's unimaginable
not to be part of their functioning
This alone is enough
to make anyone angry...
