Same memory.

We’ve been young, we’ve been old.
We’ve been friends, we’ve been foes.
Don’t tell me you don’t see,
It’s all but in the same memory.

Why are you so mad, little brother?
What can be such a bother?
Someone’s gotta have you know:
life ain’t what you’ve been told.

Why are you so down, dear sister?
You always know what you gonna do.
Ain’t no-one, nobody can stop you
if you keep on a-pushing & pushing.

What’s that in your eyes?
Can it really be the same sky?
Remember that there was a time?
A promise that brought the light?

The memory I have of you.
The memory you have of me.
They are not in history books,
not something they can ever teach.

Won’t you come to the river,
the place where it all began?
& sing a song from long ago
yet we all know what it meant?

Let’s share the same body,
as we shall have a single grave.
Won’t you care to hold me now,
while we’re still soft & warm?

Before the line breaks & the story ends,
consider this:
we are in the same memory.
We are the same.

Red bird.

Darkening sky
another Sunday night,
a memory of
an afternoon spent
with Netflix and sunlight.

Gazing out the window
a book in hand,
resting my eyes on a red bird
sitting thoughtfully
on the fence.

Where’s the happiness gone?
Why are they so fleeting?
This empty feeling of
just having said goodbye
to another rosy week.

Plan against the time
busying the mind.
Pray for a friend
to churn the thickness
with some wine.

Oh red bird
where have you gone?
The contentment I felt I could indulge,
why would it be now
somewhere else?

A straight path.

Zero firefly sky age.

Let’s break up.

Let’s break up over a Klondike bar,
we somehow made it this far,
any more of this would be bitter than sweet,
screaming a stop having some chocolate & cream.

Let’s break up sipping a coca~cola,
brown sugar high with a brain-freeze chaser,
going separate ways with a careless swagger,
don’t look back just say sayonara.

Let’s break up while playing a video game,
scheme, sound track, violence, action!
I hoped to kill you but the game never ends,
you’re staying alive so where’s my satisfaction.

Let’s break up while loving each other,
has had, having had all good conversations.
Will you keep me pristine or throw me into trash-bin?
Either way let’s break up and see what happens.
