'eww'

2018

Happenstance occurs a lot less often than many would tend to believe

in my

sorta

humble opinion

that 'friend' you never understood why you weren't closer to as a lad

wasn't exactly a hero when times were trying

and some years later

they grew a beard to cover the scars of self-demolition

succumbing to the relentless power of being told, 'not you, not today, not ever'

it's unfortunate the cape you wish they'd wear

the cape they were capable of donning

does in fact rest on their prideful shoulders

 

...but the stench of abandoned hope
and the composition of soiled bedsheets

rather than superthreads 
cannot be avoided
and the person you adored

this 'friend'

whether real

(or of self-reflection)

makes you whisper,

'eww'

under today's breath

A Glimmer Of Redemption

Up And Down

The political weather has been tumultuous and heart rending. Trying not to feel so acutely about those who overstep their authority. My gardens are calming. - slc

All That Wonderly Said

A new poem from Blue would be cool too. (I could use something good about now) Hmmm...well, well, well. :D

yes it would, no doubt about it...unfortunately I've been in a funk of late, some health issues and not much else I can focus upon in my life, makes it a challenge to generate some writing but all in due time I can imagine, thank you for all of your interest for such a long time, i cannot thank you enough
