Memory fleeting past

Memory fleeting past
Holes burning marks
Time long gone
I sit looking at the holes
Memories lost Sadness
I know where they were
Like sink holes Gone
Marsh lands mental quick sands
Sinking into the past
The future that was now
I look think now becomes then
It floods then leaks holes
Seeing her face her name is gone
Her feel is there body is mist
Her mind I knew thoughts blow away
Sunlight dark in my head
Holes
Hands cling to nothing
Lips touching air
Heart running still
Seeing nothing nothing everywhere
Grabbing for memories no longer there
Gone…

Vincent Van Goth

Vincent Van Goth
Never sold a painting
Heard voices in the sky
Saw colors burned brightly
Forever asked why
In love gave his body
In art gave his soul
In drink gave his all
In mind never saw
Vincent Van Goth
Forever sold his tears

Rose petals

Rose petals
Falling scents
Dying beauty
Effort over
End of sun
Enrichments start
Entropy’s prize
Worms food
Plants strength
Branches growth
Seeds future
Flowers bloom
Rose petals…

If all you want is all you want.

If all you want is all you want,
Then you are alone in what you want,
What if all you need isn’t all you want,
What if what you need is what others want,
Then you want what all we want, 
So if all you need is what all we want,
We all need for you to have all you want
And you have the same want
….I’m dizzy and want it to stop…
