HallwaysHello old friend .I see you haven't changed.Dark and lonely.Shall we walk again.Talk softly I've learned.Our past is never far.Yes we met long ago.Red line to follow.Stealer of sleep you are.Bringer of memories.Where are the good.For you reveal only sad.Walk alone once more.No different than before.Where are we going.Memories of those ahead.Hello old friend.I see you haven't changed.Dark and lonely.Shall we walk a...

I am sorry. There is little more that I can say. I was not the man you thought I was. In a better world, I would have loved you from afar, crying as I saw you pair up with another but seeing you happy. I have always known that I was different and not in a good way. You deserved someone who could support you and hold your trust. I, clearly, am not that man. Sooner or later, I drive everyone away.I cannot forgive myself for...

***These are random thoughts I have while waiting for Hurricane Irma. At the time of these writings Irma's projected path shows her coming straight for me! I don't know what to do while I wait so I just keep writing***Saturday 9.9.17 10:30 pm ESTTom Petty wasn't lying!The waiting is, by far, the hardest part. It's been 24 hours since I wrote my last "entry" or whatever. About Irma. Ughhh I HATE HER! I just shouted that ou...

They must be singing, songs of glory their sister has come home, I am assured the angels welcomed you home Streets of gold, beneath your once weary feet voice raised in infinite songs of praise I have no doubt; you are dancing Your sweet smiling face,looking down on us those left behind to accept the loss Tears of joy, of sadness will certainly fall gracing the cheeks of those that love you Hands will raise, voices will l...

You caught my attention right from the start;It wasn't long before you captured my heart;Years later, we've been through so very much;We've not had it easy, we've had it quite rough;We've both been stubborn; there's no doubt;Until recently it seemed we could work it out;No matter the depth of my feelings for you,If you don't feel as deeply, there's not much I can do;There's a distance between us like never before;No matte...

We had a connection from the start; You stirred the embers in my heart;The longing I'd buried deep inside,I no longer felt the need to hide;But alas, we were not meant to be;so I gave you up and set you free;We both moved on and went our way;Tho' I've thought of you since that day;I've sat and pondered now and then,what would happen if we met again;The answer to this I shall not know;For I closed my heart when I let you g...

Back off!Build the wall!If you don't make the climb,you won't take the fall!Don't take the chance,it's not worth the cost!Nothing won,Nothing lost!Leave nothing to doubt,when it comes to the game;If given some time,it will end just the same;Protect yourself,from certain heartbreak;The wage is too high,to risk what's at stake! 

Stolen kisses beneath the OakA flash of a breast in the moonlightTentative touches under the cover of darknessMuted pleasures as we veil ourselves in the forestAphrodite-like perfection masquerading as ArtemisSummer longing turns to Autumn lustWinter's icy kiss becomes the whispered vows of SpringLibation to Apollo as we unite in a field in full bloomPlaying joyful songs as my bride dances in the meadowAnd we lay beneath...

WhereToday is like any other day. The sun comes up in the east. By chance the sky is a pale blue. As your mind clears, your thoughts float to "where are they?" Friends come and go but ... Where are they? Do they also think as I do. Will they reach out, or just go about their day? Looking at the sky as I. Across the great void the sun comes up in the east as it does here. But where have all of my friends gone? 

I sat leaning against the stone pillar of the decades-old bridge, watching as the sun began to rise over the horizon, my legs dangling over the edge, my hand resting on the recently installed railing.No traffic would cross the bridge coming into the quiet backwater town that had been our home all our lives, and I concealed myself well enough not to be seen by any motorists leaving for their big city job. When the school y...

Richard lay down on the grass in the garden holding a chewed ball, looking up at the clouds.  Seeing the familiar shapes floating past.He watched a Rocketship float passed, a shark swimming quickly, and then an image of his old dog.Just for a moment, she was there.  It was as if she was still watching over him.  He missed her.  “She is suffering you have to let her go!” his mum had said, and Michel knew she was right.  Th...

Do you not see what you've done to meMy heart breaking into tiny pieces From words that have been said Once a friendship that never ceasesA void is left where once was full Of a love so gentle and pure That was growing into the night Now left everything unsure I am worth more than what you've done Making me feel smaller than a snail You know how to hurt me so wellYou did it all through fucking e-mailYou told me I was too...

Friendship is like a piece of stringThere's a beginning, middle, and end to itIt starts with a smile, then loving hugs of sweet wordsSlowly drifting towards a deep sadness of goodbyesTears that fall from betrayal, or something simple like silenceForcing you to sever all ties with the otherIf only for your own sanity and well-beingTo cut the string in two, clutching one piece as a bitter memoryPushing you into that world o...

I cannot speak the words to convey how much I miss you. That would make it real. Heart-slashing miseryhas displaced a sultry burn. My thoughts are still full of you,craving just...One... word. Through tears,I see in the mirror,an emptiness, where there once was a part of you. My tears will neverfill that emptiness. The void will torture me for as long as you're not there.  © trinket 2017
