Starting Over

Starting Over

And if

Given

Opportunities 

Above 

All else

Starting

Over 

Feels 

Accurate

Dependent

Too

Much

When

All I

Needed

Was

Independence

From

That

Of

Life

Or her

But

With regrets

Casual 

Mistakes

And 

Quick

Decisions

The boxes

Now housed

In

Temporarily

Permanent

Seem

Dismissable

In all

Seriousness

Yet

Starting

Over

Carries

Permanent

Dependence 

On independence

Of self

And on

Those

Closest

In

Arms length

And 

Pillow 

Sharing 

Apart

Starting over

Is 

Accurate 

Yet

A dream

Now

For

All

That is

Found

Feels

Lost

Fall From Grace

Fall From Grace

The Fall
From
Grace
Hurts

The
Falling
Rather
not
The landing

Either way
Hard
or soft
It
Doesn't
feel
Because

The
Pain was lost
All in
the
Unexpected
Moment

And the
Subsequent
Stages
of Weightlessness
Floating
Falling

The same
Feeling

When
Not to
Feel
Is
Discretionary

But the
Landing
is
Unnoticeable

For the
Fall itself
And the
Fear of
It

Overruns
The thoughts
of
Ever
Getting
Back up
Again

Drinking Your Dreams

Drinking Your Dreams

Drinking sounds
Attractive
Until the
Next
Day


When Dreams
hopes
At least
 Are
Smashed
Over
Casual
Dinners

After a
Weekend of
Intoxicated
Moments

With her
Fully
Vested
trust
Hands held
And
Faith
Envisioned

For that
Same
Acquaintance
And
Focused
Ideas
At least
Hopes

Thoughts
On what
She wants

Isn't
What she
Desires

Dinners
Scheduled
Like
Meetings
Meals
Throughout
The week

Cooking
Requires
Thought

While
Dinning
Requires
Credit

And if
for
A build
Up
Of driving
Her
Fancy car


I suppose
Warrants
More
Than
Friendship

Let alone
Dreams
Wasted
Like
last weekend
Was she

Beauty of Age

Beauty of Age

Defining

Titles and

Numbers

Separates

Those

From 

Others

For numbers

Counted

In age

Adds

Up

Greater

Than

Others

Self

Reliance 

Yet 

Accountable

For most

More

Than ones

Self

Selfless

Love

For age

Carries

Beauty

However

Unrealized

Outside

But inside

The

Soul

Accountable

On 

More hands

And feet

Available

Wittiness 

Knowledge

Attractive

Smarts

Carry

More 

Than 

Sexy

Words 

Can

Describe

Yet

Age

Is still

A number

A number

On the 

Outside

Regardless 

Of the

Same

Feeling 

Inside

On the 

Heart
