  Posted at 1:13 am by a quiet man, on November 6, 2022
  I haven’t an answer
  
  when told by constant
  
  listeners,
  
  It’s time to …
  
  What if we still
  
  believe we are fighting a battle
  
  that no one might defeat,
  
  a war with ourselves.
  
  How can we possibly …
  
  Our hearts are finite
  
  they bleed only so deep
  
  and then
  
  we deny those we believe
  
  hold us under their mystery.
  
  They are that mystic
  
  standing on the corner
  
  watching you cross the street,
  
  always waiting,
  
  always knowing.
  
  Hold strong
  
  your self-righteous nature.
  
  You wear it well,
  
  only now she cries,
  
  she knows how lost you are
  
  so many circles,
  
  causes forgotten about,
  
  fears are reminders
  
  to ask
  
  for another day
  
  another trial,
  
  forgiveness.

  I do look
  
  around every corner
  
  inside shadows
  
  in the eyes of a passersby.
  
  do they sense my search
  
  my pleading recognition?
  
  Might anyone possibly know
  
  the level of anxiety in my brain
  
  reflects upon surrounding
  
  We now stand together in awe
  
  we really did begin at s a similar course
  
  in life

- Pictures of Sanity
  
  Posted at 2:02 pm by a quiet man, on December 29, 2020
  To the untrained eyes,
  
  the look is wonderful, filled with smiles
  
  or perhaps there is that serious pose,
  
  instilled by the photographer
  
  gives a certain panache to the identity.
  
  ~
  
  Hers always a puzzle for me
  
  yet drew my eyes in a smile,
  
  in the heartbreak of loneliness that an expression
  
  might cry out – when one time I could reach
  
  and then later destroy.
  
  ~
  
  Always been a sensitive soul
  
  so I was told,
  
  and grew to know
  
  though not really something I might favor
  
  and forever forgive its appeal.
  
  ~
  
  I’ve hurt you I know
  
  without restraint, no process
  
  only a reactive woe that mattered only to me,
  
  to shed light, later too late
  
  for the cycle of our lives
  
  to retrace and find some moral compass
  
  we might hold on to
  
  we might find solace
  
  we might surely understand the truth.
  
  ~
  
  Left now only with pictures we can re-imagine
  
  or shelve as a memory framed upon a matting of denial.

- For This Next
  
  Posted at 11:27 pm by a quiet man, on September 30, 2020
  In a scheme
  
  lays down
  
  a patterned dream
  
  lacks spontaneity
  
  for its only sacrifice
  
  would be
  
  his waking reality.
  
  He does relent
  
  this power of suggestion
  
  once a reliance
  
  settles in
  
  then all expectation
  
  drowns inside
  
  qualm of fear.
  
  Might our lives
  
  find a peace
  
  beyond menial labors
  
  of the mind
  
  so forgetful is such is
  
  Grace.
  
  Upon each the threshold of our lives
  
  lay the ground – heart and soul, thrive.

  For it is a compelling quandary
  
  to know love is a passion
  
  to know we are in the human form
  
  drawn by the touch, the affections our own
  
  need to feel.
  
  ~
  
  I once stood upon a crest,
  
  deep was a valley of afterthought,
  
  only when having caused that descent
  
  of hardship
  
  brought upon me
  
  by insecurty
  
  driven upon self absorbed abandonment.
  
  ~
  
  We dream sadly insecure
  
  in that ability to recognize
  
  such is the value of contribution
  
  in whatever capacity,
  
  may it be fault
  
  may the outcome be a failure
  
  though how would we survive
  
  without allowance for such is a healing
  
  trial becomes peace
  
  though notwithstanding
  
  the effort of a self-effacing
  
  forgiveness.
  
  ~
  
  And might there be suggested a travesty,
  
  oh to know the wonder of finding sanity.

  Hope that time
  
  when spoken
  
  beyond a silence
  
  might see a sunlit horizon
  
  know there is beauty in now.
  
  ~
  
  Beyond a familiar season
  
  lay down your weaponry
  
  that circunstance
  
  prevalent ignorance
  
  suggests I might believe
  
  ~
  
  knows body heart and soul
  
  will not could not wish
  
  upon otherwise
  
  ~
  
  love is her eyes

  It is not easy
  
  being in love
  
  moments of worry
  
  timely disturbance
  
  I remember one time
  
  an escort home
  
  she inside the circus
  
  of his inebriation.
  
  It was not easy
  
  living with controversy
  
  though changes made
  
  could never impel
  
  the attrition of disgust
  
  riding a sea of discontent.
  
  It wasn’t easy
  
  even when love
  
  takes a side street
  
  there is a reason
  
  a fulfillment
  
  suggests later in life
  
  main-street
  
  with the one we love.

- ‘Untitled’
  
  Posted at 10:00 am by a quiet man, on October 26, 2019
  There are places I would to go,
  
  nothing certain really,
  
  only an experience outside of myself,
  
  landing in one spot,
  
  feet rooted,
  
  the mind in a different horizon,
  
  traveling forever to reach
  
  some destination,
  
  an acuity,
  
  clarity,
  
  the reason why,
  
  suggestive appeal
  
  that allows our lives to better
  
  understand
  
  who we might have been,
  
  yet,
  
  in a more acceptable,
  
  – mannerism –
  
  how we are meant
  
  to live our lives,
  
  in a world
  
  driven by,
  
  standard,
  
  mechanical failures,
  
  trivial circumstance,
  
  rote imagined realities.
  
  I stood outside today,
  
  thought about the world
  
  I once knew,
  
  that oneness I believed
  
  i would always cherish,
  
  appreciate,
  
  actually love,
  
  and I discovered
  
  the return of a tear.

- What Is Closure?
  
  Posted at 10:18 pm by a quiet man, on April 6, 2019
  How is it possible
  
  to know when,
  
  to have the confidence,
  
  to show humility
  
  to understand pain,
  
  to recognize brutal honesty.
  
  How does a man let go,
  
  offer peace,
  
  present a vacancy
  
  of mind
  
  to allow someone to be free.
  
  When does any man
  
  desperately in love
  
  decide he
  
  destroyed
  
  a wonderful
  
  friendship.
  
  When you know,
  
  please share the beauty
  
  of closure with me.
