Journal Entry: 18 May 2014

I know what Love is

I'm not in it though

I'm all for love and

music and the songs

I hear when I'm in

Love and falling

out of Love and the

pain Love causes

when I am in Love

and they are not

with me.

Romantic Love

intimacy is what

I miss. When reality

has set in; I had

my chance and it

didn't take.

Rain pours down

Now, every day,

every time I try

to Love her I see

my demise in her

eyes letting

me down gently

and Love crushes like

a giant granite boulder

on Wiley Coyote.

I swear off Love again

until she smiles

we talk about poetry,

baseball, writing,

or music and I hear

waves crashing on

the beaches of Love

reawakening

spring in me

I forget about the pain.
