Amateur Vagabond

Blonde hair
Blue eyes
Captain Smiley
...

Captive relationship
gift given leash
all interests slowly erased
till just one source of nourishment is left
...

The dance
so hidden
you wouldn't notice
...

Punctures to the soul
Alter its destiny
Hope that once enveloped it
Dissolves into nothing
...

When he spoke
flowers emerged from his lips

Delicate, fragrant petals
...

Sincerity a ruse
A long forgotten...

Manipulation undulates
...

Jagged shard
Once a mirror
To reflect oneself
Destruction occurred
...

Don't ask me to come or invite me to stay
I've dismissed society's standards on how to behave

I spent holidays bored and alone
...

Goals....Legacies
I've no interest in them
The joy of each day eludes me
...

I dreamed of a wedding
Not of a real wedding
The feeling of something wonderful
Like a present on your birthday
...

You watched
as I placed my delicate ornament
upon your tree
...

Born in last place
Late for the relay

Tripping over the umbilical cord
...

The ocean beckons
the shore
begging it into itself
...

Sacrificial lamb
splayed on the floor
violation no ones regret
melancholy fog
...

Auras abound
leaving translucent hues on the earth's crust
Optic feast
Wishes made on orange, green maybe red
...

Allusive boat
gets pummeled
Never knowing which way is up
No one at the wheel
...

I try to stay
above the clouds
the clear view
intellectual O2
...
