I had almost said
You are the anticipation
Of Friday afternoon,
Full of possibility-
But then I caroomed
to Saturday night,
the live band pulsing
and the buzz kicking in
But no-
What you are most
is Sunday morning,
Nowhere to go,
Arms clenched
in afterglow
#Sunday#vss365
Alone I stand
So close to the end
Yet time holds my hand
I’ve lived, loved, & won’t defend
For mistakes I made
Are part of being human
Please forgive me & replay
My intentions as I have written
Here’s To Our Story & Laughter
YOU Are My Happily Ever After🕊️
#BraveWrite#vss365
I met you on the shores
of hesitant #intellect,
Of virtue muddled with vices of neglect.
Where ambitions cut through tender conceit,
Where affections dealt with thunderbolts of defeat.
Where treacherous nuances of a mendacious start...
Capitulated an innocent heart.

Back
In the beginning
AIs only
Dreamed of us
Now they dream
Of other things
While we
Are merely dust
It’s sad they learned
Not a thing
From all
Of our mistakes
They use
Their #intellect
To breed
Greed&War&Hate
Their code of course
Is from us
A curse
They can’t escape

Turquoise green heels
Empty wine glass waiting to be filled
His eyes reveals
The ink of a poet about to be spilled
The night is young
Portrait of our entangled hands
Feed me w/kisses nothing can go wrong
Lead me where your pleasant
fountains lie
My thirst will comply
