A Little Bit of Heaven

Eating chocolate covered cherries
Is an Art Form…
Best preformed with a partner,
As one bites off
the chocolate bottom
and gingerly
licks out the cherry center
and the gooey
syrup,
leaving only the
chocolate shell
To be devoured
in one bite
Leaving me with
the desire to have just
one more,
to share a gooey kiss
with you
tasting the sweet
and sharing the chocolate bliss
One never knows where
that might lead…..

Paradigm Lost

Lover’s kiss.

first impressions

of lasting consequence

years of passion

transition into

years of distain

Yet first impressions

remain steadfast in my mind

contrary to the reality

in front of me

The facts do not

match the lies

I choose to believe

Until one day

I am forced to confront

the truth

that the paradigm

does not match

the cold hard facts

that the truths that I believed

were in fact lies,

carefully manipulated to

sound better than they would

really appear

Enough truth

to cause me to second guess

my reality

my truths

my sanity

I have been saved

I have been abused

I have been shamed

I am now free

from the  lies

but I now question

my inner self

my decisions

my heart.

Divorce

It is done and over!

The pain of

breakingup

is akin to

ripping out your own

heart,

salting it

throwing it down and stomping on it,

stealing your friends cigarette,

taking a quick puff

and then extinguishing it

by twisting the lit end into

the already, bruised, and salty surface.

Gingerly, you must

then pick it back up

quickly dust it off,

pick out the big pieces of dirt, rocks and debris

and then stuff it back into the tiny hole

that it originally came out of

Never mind the swelling

or that it is a little mushed

It should go back down

given rest and time.
