“don’t be so dark”

golden opportunity/ies. he said what a blast he’s having. the dark period is over, now it’s all about having fun.

my dark periods
moments of…
being alive

these encounters

I’m
searching for
the right words

stare at
words respectfully

I can
see how
others are being fake
that’s one thing

I am bothered
watching
people put
on faces that
suit different agendas

flattery gets
you no where

I simultaneously
bore & entertain myself

explain carefully that
winter is underway
preparing you for
getting down
to kiss the feet
of Spring
dance around
a fire
for Summer

winter is a
cruel mistress
without
the “mistress” part
oh damn

my wife is
much
missed by
me

I don’t know
calligraphy

at a young age
I still remember the
first time a
soccerball
was kicked into
my stomach
and I convulsed
there
on the ground
the wind
knocked
out of me
never played the
game again
to my full
potential

stars
you see stars
you only see the
stars that
reflect light
there is more
oh damn
