A couple of poems from a while back when I was a bit stressed out...

About chance encounters, confused emotions, and an opportunity that turned out to be more trouble than it was worth. So I wrote, talked to friends, went out for drinks and walks, put my head down and worked... continued on... found other adventures...

Unrequited Love

Was I just another notch in you belt

Was I crazy for thinking I felt

Something more, the time we spent together

Having drinks and talking bout the weather

Yet you have moved on along

And all I have is that damn song

Stuck in my head from when we danced

We met by luck or chance

Then due to life parted our ways

Perhaps all we needed was those few days

Self Sabotage

What ties me to this place?

A false security and scratchy eyes

What is it I can not face

About the mirror and its lies

For once I have to try to believe

What I see is not the truth at all

But some horrible notion preconceived

From mistreatment long for stalled

With in my memory instead of being

Left with in the past to fade away

When there is so much to be seeing

If I only open a new door instead of staying

Somewhere that seems safe and kind

But instead is as flimsy and treacherous as anything

When indeed I know that I could find

Adventure worth that of day dreams

If I do nothing I will bring to my self

Such darkness to make nightmares seem sweet

As it turns out I didn't do nothing, but I passed up on dealing w/ a organizational & dramatic nightmare. I'm plenty busy...
