Day 5 – NaPoWriMo 2013 - Gone, gone, gone

Day 5 – NaPoWriMo 2013 - Gone, gone, gone

Definitely not my usual subject matter (a little Dexter for me), but when the words come you have to write them down.  My apologies, in advance …

Gone, gone, gone

(Jaquith 2013)

She smiled at me

A mistake

She couldn’t run fast enough

Another mistake

She screamed

I liked that

Now she’s gone, gone, gone

And its time to move on.

Day 4 – NaPoWriMo 2013 - I'm right here

Day 4 – NaPoWriMo 2013 - I'm right here

I'm right here

(Jaquith 2013)

You ask me if I'd heard

I ask you, "Of what?"

You ask me if I know

I tell you, "There's an answer."

You ask me if I love you

I ask you, "How does it feel?"

You ask me of our future

I tell you, "I'm right here."

Day 3 - NaPoWriMo 2013- A Lie

Day 3 - NaPoWriMo 2013- A Lie

So, I said no challenges.  Ironically, yesterday’s challenge was to write about “a lie”.  As is drove home tonight this “little irony” found its way in ...

A lie

(Jaquith 2013)

A lie, is a lie, is a lie, is a lie ...

Your subtle omissions

The empty spaces in-between 

A simple testament

To darker reaches, places unseen

Delusion, collusion

Swept away by illusion

In the heat of passions lurks a hunger

A voracious emptiness, hard to contain

Lost in a rage of emotion

Choices need to be made

To believe again, rekindle my pride

Or slink away, victim to another's crime

Whiskey burns away the pain

Yet here I remain

No greater a man, only rounded at the edges

Wiser, addicted to a memory

This pain, it feeds me

With a self-indulgent indignation

It manifests a denial 

Gives me reprise

And yet,

Wouldn't I have done the same?

Day 2 - NaPoWriMo 2013

Hmm

(Jaquith 2013)

Everyone is trying to hide something

A look

A love

An unsightly role

Perhaps,

The depth of their soul.

Day 1 - NaPoWriMo 2013 - Just Don’t

Day 1 - NaPoWriMo 2013

And so the insanity, therapy for some, begins again. No themes this year, just what ever comes to mind.  Maybe there will be a decent musing or two by the end. Enjoy.

Just Don’t

(Jaquith 2013)

She smiles at me

That silly little smile

That says she knows

What I’m all about

She holds me for a while

She finally makes me smile

She says its OK to cry

She gives me reason to try

The hurt will never change

Nothing left to rearrange

So many reasons here to care

Yet I spiral, gasping for air

Where would I have gone?

And what would I have lost?

Tell me there’s something more

Don’t make me count the cost

Just don’t make me count the cost

She smiles at me again

That silly little smile

That brings me to myself

To the man I need to be.
