It was casual misinterpretation
I could not resist the temptation
‘twas a thoughtless flirtation
but you caught my eye
and I replied
with a smile of hesitation.
you are magic

those certain questions
most personal in nature,
inquiries that are basically none ya

I first met her.
Her eyes shined,her smile was wide
the world was bright.
Life was a font of fascination.
Every day was a new discovery
that left her craving
for the next,
t’was a delight
to be in her company.
Together we traversed
a tapestry of emotions.
We laughed.
We cried.
decrepit disbursement disabuse
The fallout from yesterday'sContinue reading “decrepit disbursement disabuse”
festivity is surely to last a week or more
but I don't keep score,
It depends how it's handled.
Will the disbursement of disgust
spread evenly across all platforms?
In this easily distracted age
controversy is complicated
Every “Oh My Gah what did they do?!”
gets it's 15 minutes
before being replaced with another scandal
before it's what-abouted into oblivion.
Well this was a particular pickle she found herself in.Continue reading “where is my mind”
Shit!
I forgot what I was going to say
I think there was a point I wanted to make
or some opinion I wanted to state.

Bonjour petite nouvelle annéeContinue reading “2024”
bienvenue à ce monde!
May you I finally
take advantage
of your charms
and not let you
pass by so quickly.

such a fool am I, when
(almost) every one
of your day should
be experienced to the fullest
memories
for every moment there is a melodyContinue reading “memories”
a seemingly random lyric
it can conjure a long lost memory
or define the time
where you are now.
It makes you smile.
It makes you cry.
makes you think you can sing
makes you believe,
reminds you it’s ok to dream.
