Winsome Drifter

Jump from topic to topic
Repeat yourself to make it stick

Don't buy your love
From the thrifter
'Cause love will make you
A winsome drifter

Ever lonely, always ceding
Pleasant eyes, always pleading
"Take me away"

And yes, you'll pray,
But never leave the
Hollow home you've
Worked and weaved

As a nest
As a bed
As a rest
For your head

Not the living
Instead
For trouble
For the dead.

In the Spirit of Loneliness

In what do the tasteless dip
To cleanse the endless tip of
Their mindless instant rewind
Would you fall for less than duress
When you undress and steel yourself for
Pain unimaginable?

Stop Laughing (Am I Too Serious?)

Please don't deride my frown
Because I woke up
Upside-down.

And please don't mock my hate
Because I'd rather
Inculcate.

So please refrain from laughter delirious
Because the matter is
Somewhat serious.

Sometimes clarity is a greater curse than confusion.

Secret Moon

I must confess
Even though I love
To talk

After you leave
I still feel an ache
In my chest.

I won't depress
Because I know
You're happy

But you should know
I love the way
You dress.

So I won't wane
Like the tide
Ebb

But wax philosophical
You make me happy
Insane!

I feel (so) good (but) when (you're) gone.
