yesterdays and todays

random thought snippets gathered in one place

Happy birthday.

wherever you are,
making love to the one
who will never be me.

do you think of it
when you close your eyes?
did you tell her?
does she know?

That day we exchanged
the kind of presents
that cannot be regifted --

this day,
your birthday,
forever linked
to me.
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Roller rink wishes,
and Bette Davis Eyes,
I had you in a dream
a thousand times.
but the closest
I got to
what I wanted was
a chocolate dip donut
a dip in the hot tub,
and some heavy petting
on your mom's couch ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------

if patience is a virtue, it's no wonder I don't have any ...

---------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't
want it
to be
okay,

I want it
to be
better.

I want it
to be
enough.

This is like a serial presentation in reverse.

I like the changes in placement and font faces and layout styles. It really punctuates the changes.

Thanks. I write a lot of collections like this. Some people really like them. It's actually the way I started writing -- several poems on one page, then I would dissect them and place them individually. Now, I post them as one piece.

[MomzillaNC]

You're welcome. It works very well thematically with this set.

LOL ...the scene on the couch i may have to pass . Its a very good write KLG . Im greenhorn to this ...

[Lyn Anderson]

scene? What scene? Oh dear, I have a lot more than that on here to make you blush.

[NeiL ArandA]

I see ...if i pass a piece it may be too much for me to handle . But i m glad you understand me . Im cool .

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, that's okay, I have always respected that, not everyone likes hot and steamy writes. The one you pointed out is really just about an old unresolved flame tho --

[NeiL ArandA]

Your a good friend ...

[Christopher Staab]

Great write. Heartfelt. Dreaming.

[Lyn Anderson]

[Matching Socks]

Great tune for sure.

[The Twin Arenas]

yeah, the second one.

you should put some meat on that s**t. just a little bit, though. got some nice elements.

[Lyn Anderson]

Thanks for the help, I write it as it comes out.

[The Twin Arenas]

that's the way to do it. bonus if you find a little vein of gold, though.
