Day Old Hate

Day Old  Hate

Drinks
Alone
Bars
Untold
Of populations
Fish
in the Sea
Fishing
In seas
of
Empty
Luck

First name
Chairs
Borrowed
Acquaintances
And
Birthdays celebrated
With or with
Out
Others

Stable
Relationships
To hold
Four legs
Its
Enthusiasms
and
Problems

Hard wood
Holding
Soft thoughts

Of day
old Hate
Unkept leftovers
Spoiled
Keep

Sakes
For
Memory
Sake of
Learning
Growing Up
And
Apart

Split Ends
Parts
Tape holds
Glue
Secures

And scissors
Cut
Those
Closest

 But
Gentlemen
Know
When to
Say good night
Close tabs
And kiss
Those
Goodbye

Europe Winter

Europe Winter

The colors of fall
Feel less
Cold
than my
Shoulder
Every morning

Winter
Is due soon
Yet
The
Warm sun
Scares
Away
The cold
and
My fears
of being
Alone

I sleep
Through
The cold

King beds
And 
Winter

Hibernating
My heart
Soul
And all
That's capable
Of working
Until
Spring

For
When the
Fall leaves
Form
On the
Ground and
Swells
Cluttered
My thoughts
over Her
Grow

Then dissipate 
As the
Days get
shorter
My thoughts they
Last longer

And my
Breathing
Slows
For sleep
Begins
And dreams
wait
Until

The Sun
can once
Again thaw
Out
My hopes
Thoughts
and Heart
