My Last Muse

 My last muse

Skinny fat

Fit excuses 

Fat lies


We regress 

Sleep off

Sleep in

Others’

Thoughts

And

Asks

Welcomes


Sunlight

Blinds

Blinding

Careful

Care free


Tucked in

Covers pulled

Tuckered out

Covers drawn


Facial

Expressions

Cues 

Missed

Captured

Avoided

Polaroids


Down

Mislead

Narrow paths 

Rabbit

Holes 


Amusing 

Enough

To be

Of amusement 

Or 

Just

A muse


My

Last one

His Young Heart

His Young Heart

Cold snow
Packed
From foot 
Prints
Reminders 
Of where 
He’s been 
His feet

But 
Not tracked
Lost
From 
The multiple
Tracks
All his
Just 

Different 
Times 
Different 
Loves 

Still lost
His young heart 
Wanders 





Somewhere

Somewhere 

Somewhere in the 
Mountains 

Somewhere in the 
Clouds

Somewhere in the 
Heart 

Somewhere we
Lost
Somewhere we
Won 

And somewhere 
It was too late
Too early
To decide

Unconscious 
Thoughts
Feelings
Love

Lost 
Or
Forgotten 

Forgotten 
And
Lost

Decisions
Unmade
Made
Then
Remade

Undecided
In love
On love
Undecided 
On you

Somewhere 
Close
Somewhere 
Far

But 
Somewhere 
To be where
Some 
Where 
You 
Are

Subway Rides

Subway Rides








Subway
Rides
Dressed attire
Work
Functions
Drinks
Plans to
Be made


Subway
Thoughts
Disposed
Ideas
Like
Rings in pockets
Safe keeping


Conversation
Starters
Enders
Depending
On your
Type


Doors open
New faces
Smiles
Distractions
For a few
Stops
Pauses
In
Life


Doors close
Advances
Made
Declined
And
No longer
Distracted


Three stops
Pass
Eyes
Stop
Glaring
Flirting tones
Undertones


Low lights
Flicker
Lights
Batting
Eye lashes
Last stop
Last call
Last
Chances
At saving
Salvaging
This moment
Doors Open
Stepping
Off
Doors Close
watching
the Train
Leave
The
Station
Leave
My heart
And when
the wind
Settles
Looking
Over
There
She is
Subway
Rides
Subway
Love

London





London


You don't
Go
To meet girls
For their
Accents
In London


You
Go
To quit
Habits
Stories
Theme
Songs


American
Girls
Girls
in
General


Fashion
Pub crawls
Big Ben
Carousels
History


Making me
Feel old
Each morning


But crutching
On jet lag
Instead
Of gin and
tonics


Conversion
Rates
and Metric
Systems


Return
Trips
Pockets
Empty
And transatlantic
Flights


Just
Loves forgotten
Habits broken
dropped
In the ocean


You don't
Go
To meet girls
For their
Accents
In London

Boy Friends Girl Friends

Boy Friends Girl Friends


Bar drinks

First 

Rounds

Second 

Details


And last 

Calls

At life

Being

Boy friends 

Girl friends


Decisions

To late

To go back

On

Yet Changes

Of heart 


Wine guzzled

And shots

With out

Chasers

Chasing

Lost

Time 

Adventures

All the

While

Sitting

Still


Can't think

For her

She 

Still

Sits 

On my

Mind

In my

Heart


Late 

Nights

Early

Mornings

Opposite sexes

Shared beds

Shared dreams

Across 

Opposite pillows

Eyes wide shut


But

Shared covers

Legs

Tangled

And hearts crushed


Boy friends

Girl friends

Or

Just friends

High Heels


High Heels

Black
Or red
High heels
Ones that
I should but
Can't
Remember

Standing
Too tall
In stature
Or 
Too short
In thoughts

For poses 
Postures
And 
Facades
She'll 
Never understand

Higher
Standards
Living
Expenses

Rigid
Ideas
Commandments
To live by

Sworn off
Her
Like
Cigarettes 
Drinking
Vices
All mine

Lent
Is easier
Than
She 
Is
To forgive
Give up
Or
Just forget
