April 1988 - page 2

she had him fixed so he wouldn't
stray too far away from home...
at first it worked but soon she
had nothing to hold his attention.


somedays thy were too close
other days not close enough,
it was always a coincidence
but they never complained.


sunshine sinking warmth
inside deeply
relaxing and natural,
memories carry with them the
remembering...  then a
peaceful forgetfulness.


a temporary mental adjustment 
eclipses my neurotic behavior,
can we suffer together the
pain of our different emotions?
hold me a little longer
then I must go home.


I look into your eyes and 
want not to look away,
you return the stare and
we both want no other
and as our passion feeds
upon itself...  we hold
only ourselves to blame.


their property was common
but not their attitudes and
in short order it became
evenly divided between then.


she complemented his attitude
complemented his behavior
but when it come to his dirty
language she could not say
anything... she too was foul.


and the far side of her thoughts
was with him and the feelings
which were hidden from her
protective questions...  she acted
on his behalf but he always
felt she was just being friendly.


she came to his rescue
and in so doing became
emotionally involved
with his insecurities.


the rain cools our
hot tempers...
shrinking the anger
as our clothes dry.
