Oh, Plum Nelly

DQ, My Friend, My Co-Worker, My pool partner, I Love You.

November 20, 1991 - July 3, 2010 

I just can’t love again.

Is it only in my head?

When it aches, it aches for you.

When we were young, pure, and true.

An infant’s hand can’t hold its power.

Empty still with each new lover.

A scar doesn’t leave, it only fades.

Hand shadows

God wanted to keep his children ignorant of the notion of good and evil, keeping them pure, or, in more malicious intent, keeping his position of power above them and ensuring that they do not become like him. The knowledge of good and evil brought them from their blissful state to the harsh…

The most rain Tennessee has seen in 30 years.

I, the ignorant Captain,

sailed out on the ocean deep-

Destroyed my sole vessel,

a place now where no love can keep.

No wisdom to protect me,

to think it an “unsinkable ship.”

Forever lost at sea.

The only witness to my folly,

I have only this:

Many months out,

with no sign of shore,

will turn any sane man sick.

 Dali

diminishedtrances:

Time Well Spent,

Too often interrupted.

A heart so pure,

A mind corrupted.

But I see in her

A beauty rendered.

Which calls to me

For motions tender.

And I see my brothers and sisters;

They work so quickly.

A lust that’s sated

Can turn love sickly.

A rushed harvest

Tastes not as sweet.

Patience enhances

The gardener’s feat.

So I will till my soil

With love of labor.

And may spring carry

Promises of bounty’s favor.

Can’t escape it, can’t erase it.

A mind tortures, what a tongue can’t tell.

A heart aches, a body sleeps.

Waves of emoition, sea-floor deep.

She is drowning in her dreams.

What has hold of her?

Why can’t she believe?

The depths won’t set you free.

Blinded by death alone.

A new heart is the key.

Reveal to him more,

than a mirror can show.

In time, the world shall know.
