what i have written i have written


punched bowl filled with fuzzy navel

i fill your cup with a ladle

the dance d.j. plays a slow song

cup between as we sway along

i look into your eyes and see

a slight buzz and your love for me

a couple in love that’s on display

my recent book published today

and no one at this party knows

the lost and found has had my soul

which you retrieved, gave back to me

a stray dog leashed and yet set free

content with colors in your eyes

no sacrifice or compromise

i sing of solace and serene

you eyes landscaped with fields of green

red solo cup that i refill

i hand to you in hopes you will

never read my most recent book

even i will never re-look

for you have erased every word

blank pages now cannot be heard

as i write now without a past

about a love that’s come at last

and years that filled my yesterdays

upon the dark streets of decay

become a haze, untraveled maze

where i no longer wish to graze

as long as you are in my arms

and i am lucky in your charms

i’m still me but i’m with you

so envied by the chosen few

even if i wake hung-over

the dark streets of decay are over
