The Louvre, the Funhouse, the Disco
April 24th arrives

but it keeps slipping
through the fingers of your mind.It brings with it
a fading memory
of the main room
of the Louvre…
not the paintings,

not the velvet ropes,
but the room itself:

Actually, two came out that day. and lots of tears… but something I needed to write. It’s been years, but some Christmases I’m a bit indifferent/melancholy… I will post the other as well.

Not to hear
Not to “oh my” share??Me this can not be
Your voice and thoughts need..need..To be set free
Free from the confines
Of societies vines…Read More2 Comments-

This is excellent. It had some rhyme and rhythm.
Nothing felt forced at all.

Sometimes its necessary to pause, reflect and take inventory. I like the honesty because we do tend to lose sight for a while until we become more aware of ourselves.
Nicely done.

not much without all the added extras
and even they left details…Read More2 Comments-
