The Man in the Desert

Audio Recordings, Personal Growth / January 27, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
The man in the desert remembers and a tear begins to form A tear so long unshed ninety percent of the water is gone Dragging it’s a chain of crusted drops it carves a white canyon down his long and leathered face A cracked tongue between cracked lips reaches to taste it – Oh so sweet

Tears

Relationships / tagged Boys, Men, Vulnerability / January 26, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
It’s not that  big boys and men don’t cry The tear ducts are just shaped different And it all runs down inside

Sailing on the Queen Mary

Nostalgia, Travel / January 22, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
The opulence, the opulence, the Art Deco decor The richness of wood on every wall and stair The length and height and ballroom beam The lavish light of crystal chandelier Here rich and famous of the day were brushed against in passageway Now Long Beach harbor final-moored with ghosts of glint and glory at the bar Yet all is there, save ocean swell and mal de mer These two I bring in memory from home a canoe on Candle Lake in a ski-boat's wake and the back seat of dad's old car

Big Oak Front Yard Austin

Nature / January 20, 2020 / by neil_2015_wordpress@neilmeili.com
“The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing which stands in the way… As a man is, so he sees,” - William Blake Alejandro and Dorsey and me almost kissing under the tree Sophia close to 300 lies about her age Alejandro, with the city, has tenderly spent six hours freeing her tresses from power line distresses Songs of Innocence Songs of Experience William singing now
