Hilarity of reality

Life is funny
funny bad
funny good

you see
there are these things
that happen
that make you just have
to laugh
to avoid
the cries
not so funny

why are people fake
liars
tongues darted
poisoned lies

call me
don't call me
I want to talk
I don't want to talk
see me
see right through me

Hilarity

that's all it is
a reality
stoked with the coals
of a sick hilarity

you walk your walk
and I will walk mine
alone
without you
joker

I'm done
trying
for nothing
nothing
at all
no crumbs even
thanks
for nothing

not worth the time
the effort
the energy

it's no wonder
your life is
a little less
full

you're
funny
you figure out which
kind

Lost and Found

years
is what it's been
wanting
waiting
praying
hoping

lost friend

and it came
the sweet rain
that washed away
the cobwebs
of the past

revealing you

revealing something new
again
something wonderful
something whole

a gentle whisper
of the past
as it warms my heart
as it beats
to the tune
of the memories

of our friendship

I will not
be so quick
to let you fade
not this time
not ever again

my returned friend

Yep...

The Blue Muse...

How Can You?

How can you miss someone you do not know
to follow their voice through the light blue glow
Imagine their smile
reflecting from yours
talking for a minute
wishing for hours
How can you miss someone you do not see
to follow their voice into the deep blue sea
Imagine their eyes
as they wake in the morn
to see into forever
where the earth was born...
