Fallen Angels

fallen angels

trapped between heaven

and guttersnipe's heels

on the way to nowhere

and tomorrow's hopes,

dreams and fears.

yea, thou I

fly

on fashionable highs

at the end

of this day

I curl around

my solitary pillow dreams

and leave

deposits of soulful

sorrows, wet

as my promise

that

tomorrow

is a new

day

What are your dreams for a new day? Go mention them to G-Man. He will listen, offer commentary in 55 words, then book! Sorry G, I will have to work on that central plotline, but this is 55 words! 8:01 and posted!

Touch me

Touch me

and I melt into a thousand tears

That tear a heart like razor blades

Asunder -

again

Forgotten feelings flood

Through this tough veneer

Varnished by solitary moments

So proud of strength

In empty eyes yet

Crack

-ed

Fairy tale dreams

Of love and lust

My confused likes

that still

devastate

This state of mind

Mine to torture

What once was pure

Of thought, deed

or at least that

Is what I care

to believe

Nay, today

I play the game.

Toss smiles in the hat

Bat pretty eyes

and feed my soul

To the devil

Anew

Arrivederci

Thanks for the drink,

sweetheart …

Splat!

Gotcha!

You 

have been hit 

with the first snow ball of 

winter! Took until January 3rd for it 

to feel anything akin to seasonal here.

And while I might have lost 

this war, the snow 

has just be-

gun...

Resolutions

~
It's
Saturday
New Year's Eve
Time for reflection
for resolutions
for peace
for me
Me
~

~

words 

written down

grown strong and 

confidant in themselves

still linger on  fingers

afraid to reach 

out for 

you

~

~

time

its time

to step beyond

embrace the unknown

fling myself open

without caution 

nor prejudice

into life

~

Time

time slips through my fingers
like so much rain
at Christmas
