The rust
It is not you
No, sweet darling
It is me
Corroded and
Exposed
Living inside
Ocre pain
That breathes
With kind tolerance
And knowing
That someday
Into dust

Innocent Darling (day 1358)
You reminded my heart
Of what I hadn’t yet learned.
Take up nevermore,
Take hold my coattails.
The only thing left
Is a slow waltz down Main Street.
Innocent dancing,
Oh my innocent darling.
Wish For Me (day 1345)
Wish for me,
My darling sunshine,
As whispering
Contends my silence.
Together, Apart (day 696)
I’m sorry my dear darling
But I’ve been out here passing
My card into the hands
Of my future’s next romance
I hope this isn’t shocking
For I’ve been displaced in my walking
Left to my own devices
Off on unknown adventure
I was never left here laughing
Nor with you did I try crying
But a city that whispers wildly
Tore our souls together, apart
Poor Silly Darling (day 301)
Poor silly darling
With her eyes open so wide
It’s such a shame
The moon passed it’s time
Sailing the dark seas
Forever calming
Amongst the rustling leaves
Poor silly darling
With her arms so comforting
They haven’t told stories
They’ve shared life
With the ailing soldiers
They’ve doped dressings
Amongst the morphine lectures
Poor silly darling
Who I love there so quietly
Books on her lap
And her feet resting flat
The river that runs
Along high mountain plains
Is always cold against the virgin skin
