Ziena had quit,
So tired, pained —
Days were endless,
Nights just lonely
Under a cloud
For years it rained —
Beguiling kisses
Making only
Xysts &
Vague gists

(no title)
. an empty house .
this house has never said my name before
a name now ringing clearly in the air
i guess the haunting starts now that you’re gone
you took my heart, my soul, my life,
my beer
so i sit down to write my life away
gaslighted like poor ingrid in that film
the king of solipsism on his throne
an empty kitchen cupboard for
a realm
To share is human:
An Echo In The Forest
From across a far ravine.
An echo in the forest
From across a far ravine;
The last words that you said to me
In memory still green
An echo in the forest
That my lonesome ears discern:
The sound of your departing
Knowing you would not
Return
To share is human:
Sad Charlotte
A Short History of Them
All they had.
She was his favorite
Habit, maybe —
Hard to say
He was her surrogate
Plush toy, really —
Just for play
They thought they’d arrogate
Pleasures of the
Flesh and heart –
Left off, wondering
Why they both felt
So apart
To share is human:
My Heart Belongs With the Lonely
My heart belongs with the lonely,
It’s where I’m meant to be –
Not in the thoughtless crowd, or off
Among complacency
My heart belongs with the lonely,
And will to them be borne –
For while I still have eyes to see,
I’ll comfort those
Who mourn

To share is human:
By The Waters of Loneliness
It’s cold out here but worse inside.
And I have got no answers –
I hurt for you, my love, my pride,
But I have got no answers.
Still —
I wish I was a healer who
Could mend relationships, and do
A magic spell to patch our past
And you and I would soon outlast
The couples passing by, who’d see
Our open suitability
For long-time love, and long-held dreams –
That wouldn’t end in heartbreak.
But here its cold, the sun’s gone down,
And I have got no answers –
No questioner nearby is found,
And still I’ve got no answers.
Yet —
I wish I could bring back the days
And nights when you and I would say
That everything we’d ever need
Or want, our covenant and creed
We’d find in one another; where
The starlight meets the cool fresh air
Our love would last, and never die,
And wouldn’t end in heartache.
But cold and lonely flows the sea
The spray kicks up and covers me
And I have got no answers
