Undead
I write to let my emotions slowly escape
A drop or two of blood of heartbreak
A sigh of a memory
A whisper of bound desire
A tear of remorse
A caress of lovers’ passions
A blink of anger
A kiss of overwhelming grief
A sip of fear
I write to connect to you, without drowning you
We can feel heartbreak without bleeding
We can remember without hurting
We can desire without sinning
We can regret without crying
We can make love without regretting
We can be angry without violence
We can grieve without losing
We can be afraid without reason
I write to live, without living
A Shattered Existence – #Senryu – #poetry – #JulyWriting
One short errant shot
Taken, a vibrant, young life
Finds eternity

The last time I saw Paris, her heart was warm and gay, I heard the laughter of her heart in every street café.-Oscar Hammerstein II
When I ache to remember
that wonderful trip to Paris
I find my round music box
that plays my favorite song
~ La Vie en Rose ~ and so
I close my eyes, drift away
back to those magical days,
listening to the sweet music
this priceless little trinket plays.
Once more I am carried
back to all the sights and sounds
the yeasty scent of hot baguettes,
dancing in the aromatic air
the plump chickens roasting
dripping their rich buttery fats
onto petite potatoes with rosemary
swimming in the seasoned pan.
The sensual luscious red wine,
the pungent creamy brie, and
the romantic afternoon we dined
sitting by the romantic Seine
there was only you and I
under a brilliant sunset gilded sky

Come rescue me…

Falling Behind
gotta go, gotta hurry, gotta get there
gotta, gotta, gotta
move, out of my way
just yeeeeaaaaah
feeling trapped
going slow-mo on overdrive
taking speed walking in jelly
like in a dream being chased
it’s being a human on a hamster wheel
powering on, powering thru
getting nowhere fast
stepping to the daily demands
slow down
the heart’s way home
stolen glances
not so
well concealed
turn my head
on the off chance
a cup
of coffee
will I see you
again it’s no
big deal
the heart always
knows it’s way
home
The More You Live ~ A Poem By Walt Page, The Tennessee Poet
The more you live
The more you learn
But the more you learn
The more you forget
The more you live
The less you die
When you die
You cease to love
And death will take
The life you give
~The Tennessee Poet~

Refund
if Poetry is really a gift
I wish the receipt had been left in the box.
So after playing with it briefly and getting bored,
Next day I could easily take it back to the shop.
