Sweet Kisses

I love your
Sweet kisses
Of saying goodbye
This morning

Most mornings
You are off
Head filled with business of the
Day
No peck on the cheek
Barely a goodbye

Today
     I felt your love
  consumed of wanting me
Me wanting you
Today
Tomorrow
Forever
More

I Should Have Known

I should of known

The sun would refuse to shine in my soul

Water dries before it nourishes 

My heavy heart hastens a long journey

Amongst the tears and valleys the slow moving earth

Sphere and axis foreboding a wretched watch

Spinning wheels mark a path of…

How many mixed metaphors can there be in one poem?

I am losing grasp on my existence 

I hate where I am at

Will it get better

My exhaustion is at a level I can't contain

Sleep does no good 

Pain reaches deep

No rest even sleeping more than awake

The pain is all too real

I have been here before

This poem is more depressing than relieving

Reducing the scary truths

Ouch Ouch Ouch is all I can say.
