MORE TO COME… later.. Probably
more to come someday
but verse comes in flash visions
fragments of imagination
more to come, (continuing excuse, since 1997 -epl)
The world is full of light again
The halls are filled with her laughter today
Is Happiness here to stay?
Her, a woman of such exotic beauty, intelligence and value
Am I in the lucky few to find someone worthy to woo?
But could she share me with my children,
Tolerate my forever goofiness,
And stand me when I am quiet or blue?
I suppose the cliché is that you risk the thorns to smell the rose
And to get where you want to go, you sometimes just follow the flow
It is just so hard to take it slow
Take it slow
Take it slow
To My Next Love
I want to catch your scent in a room
And be carried away to a place of Sunshine
I want to innocently brush your hair out of your face
And find myself lost in the depth of your eyes
And most of all, I want to feel Love again…. Continue Reading
Groking the split
I live in a small world and she needs to live in a big one.
They are really the same world but in my version you make small subtle movements. Peace comes from a canoe in the middle of a lake, building things with your hands, and hammocks and porch swings. There are rules and set behaviors. You dress up for Mardi Gras and you dress … Continue Reading
Begging for Closure
dont freak out
i only want what i want
at least i did not ask you
to stay and love me back
you are gone
and i cant stop it
it doesnt matter to where you fly
i used to love you
i used to need you
now i can only grieve for you
but wish i could have you
just long enough to say goodbye
i dont want pain
i would not keep you
i would not ask you
to stay and love again
i will always know her
mother of my children
but i will always wonder
who you were
can you tell me
will you tell me
who did you become
or were you ever there

Ours 13
That is yours, This mine
Residue of thirteen years
What happened to Ours?
2 Nov 2005. I guess this is the sequel to the Us/Tombstone haiku
When life gives you lemons, you are supposed to make lemonade.
But even that takes a little sugar.
My STARE

CALCUTTA
A Call Center Short Story. q2, 2000. -Ed LaBruyere
Clutching the x9 and wishing he had something with a higher rate of fire or larger profile, even knowing his ammunition was down to only three darts anyway, he sighed.
He had reached Calcutta. Others made pilgrimages here, not for any spiritual quest but mainly to realize how much worse it could get. He … Continue Reading
