Somewhere Citrus

I found myself in the middle of somewhere
Somewhere I had never found
Somewhere where we all belong,
But never can quite get to
A space where...
Mind and embodied souls of spaces
Cannot find, cannot mend
Apprehension with thoughts of 
Compressed unities transcend
Where we can't quite get to
Or reach
Even taste as we
Trip 
Into pits
Of prescribed self damnation
Still I'll never quit
Lost life, lost love, lost memories
We lose all that we find
The lemons make our lemonade
And then we lose the rind.

Somewhere In Time

Juxtapose
Another goes
Cram a moment
Quickly and quietly below
Under colored couch covers go
Inebriated lovers in a dark place
Effervescence into deep slumber beating time's race

Inevitable End

The indelible gunmen marched
  to the sound of their last heartbeat.
