"I don't miss you, no, not in normal ways 
instead the missing is my friend who teases me and plays
we have our little rituals, we have our subtle signs
our dances round the lack of you, each of which combines
to tell me I don't miss you no, not at least these days
no I don't really miss you, except when you close the door behind
then all the mocking moments point and grin just to remind
me that they will be my company for all the time that you're away
they'll fatten up and multiply, they'll fill up the whole day
how then could I miss you, when you've left me so much time
there's no way I could miss you, when you're everything I touch
an icy glass of ginger ale, a beach, bow tie, brown bread and such
a yapping noise your absense makes when I try to sleep alone
so I hold on tightly to the void and claim the missing as my own
no impossible to miss you, I don't miss you that much
 no impossible to miss you, I don't miss you that much"

still in a time warp, day by day... three months ahead, three months behind... it may mean that it will take a minimum of three months to begin (to begin what?... to know me? {oh, but that could take forever, if anybody ever could}... to catch up? {with what?... these journals?... the web world?... life?... the universe?... infinity?}... to be caught up? {reiteratori}... to fall in love? {if wishes were horses... but then, what about love at first sight?... is that purely libido?... is it worth more than a blissful roll in the proverbial hay?... what is your bottom line?}... to go truly irreparably mad?)

but she has me in her power
and she doesn't even want me
discarded further by the hour
for how long will she now haunt me
until someone comes along
to overpower her attraction
this is the way of my heart
it's a natural reaction

nuclear

what would you think it I sang out of tune (and would I ever find out?)... the reasons in my rhymes are there for many reasons and though sometimes just for show they reach beyond the four seasons and in the depths of understanding you may come to comprehend that I am always moving forward even when I might pretend to fall behind or freeze in stillness feigning fear or failing fortitude when meter stumbles through stacatto you may not follow my mood but if you ask I might still answer when you least expect me near if I believe through all your actions that you really truly care...


tears form ready to fall
but what's the point
nobody's here
to care if I cry
if I live or die
or drown in the tears

voices call deep in my mind
but no one hears
look in my eyes
don't run away
nightmares can end
or drown in the tears

lost in the years
memories haunt every moment
I am aware
how can I forget
wounds that won't heal
scars that won't fade

lost in the fears
doubts that anyone will ever
understand
to be alone
for all eternity
is that the life I made?

tears burn when they don't fall
but what's the point
nothing to see
just an old heart
lost in memory
drowning in tears

voices from the silence
only I hear
look in my eyes
what can I say
no one will stay
she will not stay
lost in the years
or drowned in the tears

and if anyone did follow along... are you wise enough to realize that the process continues even after we're gone and the garden grows even after it might appear to move on and the river flows differently every time you look at it and every time you dive in you can feel it deeper, even when it's dry...

river of sin?
