the rose and the apple

My sleep all last night
was peace, bliss, floating, dreamless.
Everything I wanted.
We talked in the
kitchen. The children played in their
room. We were mothers.

I feel like the Soup
Nazi tonight. Like, "GET OUT!
NO HAIKU FOR YOU!!"

The dreams from last night
will follow me today like
ghosts around my house.
That tricky witch. If
I could know what she knows I
might be tricky, too.

I could see him wanting
to say something to her,
but he held it back.
Time's they are changin'
and if you can't keep up then
we'll change without you.
Sometimes I watch the
cat and I'm fairly certain
she thinks I'm crazy.

You watch your friend
make the most wretched decision
they could ever make.
Sometimes the small
sacrifices now lead to big
successes later.

She watched the smoke
leave her lips and became
invisible like the air.
winter's
arms
wrapped
me
up
the
sun
was
above
us
very
far
away
The intensity's
too great. I want to get away,
but I just can't.

and the land meets the sea and
the sea meets the sky.

I will be your
little devil if you will be
my little angel.

She said, I dreamt of
you last night. He said, I just
love your dreams, my sweet.
You have to look at
it and choose to move right through
the saddest sadness.
I'm so depressed
today I can't write so I choose
to write depressed.
I don't want to know
what you're doing. It reminds
me of what I'm not.

I have the blues bad,
Daddy-O. And not the pink
and green sparkly kind.
She was under
completely. It happened so slow
that no one noticed.
Tuesday, January 21, 2014
We only hate the
trash talkin' when it ain't us
who be doin' it.
A love so intense
it would make even Morticia
and Gomez blush.
Monday, January 20, 2014
You came behind me
to smell my hair and I leaned
in to feel your breath.
A story 'bout a
woman, a man, an umbrella
and a cafe.
I want you more than
I've ever wanted you and
that'll be true again.

She talked and talked not
knowing what she would say
next until she said it.
Saturday, January 18, 2014
I thought of them. I
don't know why. After having
not for so, so long.
Friday, January 17, 2014
I use your old
t-shirt to blow my nose when I'm
sick, 'cause I love you.
He talked of doves
flying and hearts on the brink. I
wanted to hear more.

I ran away and
then came back again and I
ran away again.
Tuesday, January 14, 2014
The hills were one
color, the sky another and
the water one more.
I want something
sordid to come of it. I want
them to fall apart.
Monday, January 13, 2014
I don't need you to
poison me. I can pick my
own poison, thank you.
Those weren't the days. These
are the days now. These days are
what's ahead of me.
There's no plateau in
this world as pretty as the
top of that mountain.
Sunday, January 12, 2014
I walked through the dark
worlds of rats and gators and
wolves and now I'm here.
She leaves her sparkles
behind her so that you'll follow
and meet her there.

I wanna go back,
way back, to that house in
1987.
Some people think there's
too many love songs in the
world. I think there's not.
Friday, January 10, 2014
I wanna do
everything. Every single thing
for the rest of my life.
Thursday, January 9, 2014
I love dreaming that
dream where we're falling in love
all over again.
Wednesday, January 8, 2014
I felt eyes upon
my back. I shivered, turned.
It was just the cat.
I'm not sure who I
was or who I am, but I
miss that girl a lot.

She wanted him so
much that she would not rest
until she had him.
We inspire each
other. We feed on the creative
light that we share.

They looked so sad at
each other, but their arms said
quite another thing.
Facebook is just a
silly video game. Don't
get mad when you lose.
Saturday, January 4, 2014
I don't wanna talk
about me anymore. Let's
talk about you now.
Friday, January 3, 2014
When I dream of my
childhood home I dream of it
different than it was.
Wednesday, January 1, 2014
I wrote a song
about a song and a poem
about a poem.
The Spirits of
Christmas past, present, and future are
beside me tonight.
I look at my hands and
I see my mother's. Then I
see grams', forever.
"For auld lang syne, my
jo, for auld lang syne, we'll tak
a cup o' kindness yet..."
