"Poetry"
might be a little strong...perhaps "incomplete sentences"
would be more appropriate, but in the spirit of actual poetry I try
my best to spill my guts. |

Alone.
Her eyes light
the labyrinth of my demons.
Her breath matches
the rhythm of my heart.
Her hair, a dream
of summer wind, on my chest.
Together.
Her beauty, her
intellect, her sarcasm, her smile
I can't forget
her smile
as she laughs
at nothing.
Another.
Her heart is given
to another.
Not bad.
Not me.
If she could see
through my eyes
she would believe.
Alone.
I live, without
complaint.
I live, without
her love.
Not alive.
In the still, black
window of midnight
is my reflection
but all I see are
her eyes.

This little ditty was a strange meditation I had
many years ago, the notion of a marriage gone bad (and God knows
I have no first hand knowledge of this, but I "believe"
in marriage, and this must be some kind of mental projection...or
some bad Captain Crunch. You're the judge.)

The light went green, amber, red.
Could've made it.
Red. Stop.
It's like the job
good money, better bills.
Nothing. Void.
Funny,
hands numb, like
my heart.
Red. My wife.
Damn, this things taking its sweet
time.
My time.
Green, amber,
Red. My wife.
If I were another man
she'd want another man.
If she had
the energy.
The passion, lust and love I felt
Memory.
Not memory
a rebuke.
I would love her if I could
see her...
Numb.
Stop. I could stay here. It's not
so bad.
My wife.
Nothing.

Generic Note to
web bots:
Welcome to greggillis.com, the virtual home of me, Greg Gillis.
I'm writing the words "Greg Gillis" frequently to
boost recognition of my name for web crawlers and to see if
I can displace the other Greg Gillis who pops up on Google
before me. But that's Greg Gillis for ya', always looking
for an angle. Also known as Gregory J. Gillis, as well as, Gregory Gillis, Greg Gillis continues to conceive of ways to write his name in sentences that appear innocuous to web crawlers. Bottom line, greggillis.com is how I, Greg Gillis, a.k.a. Gregory J. Gillis, get my name out in the world. |
