The pillow that I whisper on
knows the story of my love.

It shares the private moments
when my heart controls my lips.

I have sworn it to full secrecy
insuring my words of the night

I don’t see things as well as I used to.
My sense of smell is a little off point.
I have to plan in advance to make love to you.
Oh no, it’s not problems with that particular joint.

Take my hand and fall with me
into the crevice
known worldwide as lovers leap.

Hold me tight don’t turn me free,
it’s our promise,
so solemn and incredibly deep.

I have two great loves
May they be conjoined for life
One is the ocean
The second my betrothed wife
May the tides be always high.

Nervous fingers rake through my hair,
bloodshot eyes are the color of the day.
I’ve no real intel but I am acutely aware
there’s changes a blowing my way.

Science has proved the world revolves
but it doesn’t revolve around you.
Through formative years we all evolve
learning others help fortify the brew.

You have shown a singleness of purpose

I was fine living my unscripted life,
second hand furniture, one TV and no wife.
It all seemed so fairly normal to me
cold pizza for breakfast didn’t start World War III.

I'm seldom given to true introspection,
delving beneath my surface grin.
'Tis safer to hide behind my facade'
though it may be woefully thin.

Many seek the ultimately profound

I’m actually groping for an opening line
that would immediately capture your eye.
Something witty or purely crystalline
but it hiccups and then passes right by.

Layer upon layer of miscreant junk
topped off with whipped cream and cherry,
is still odious and gives off a funk,
like lipstick on a pig, beautiful, not very.

I just want to thank everyone who welcomed me back. Be careful what you wish for, you know I'm loaded for bear.

Pete

A new wind has blown over the back of my neck.
The feeling was pleasant I must admit.
I left with relationships in a bit of a wreck
yet it seems others feel that I’m a good fit.

In the past day I've had two of my friends and members of this site tell me that my presence is missed and needed on this site. As in most cases majority rules.

It’s been my goal to entertain you,
the contributors and reviewers here.
There been a few misses and bullseyes too,
please know my efforts were generally sincere.
