		<description><![CDATA[aaahh fuckit, nevermind.
the situation is Cyndi Lauper
time after time
i&#8217;m forced to retreat
because you&#8217;ve bonded with another
and turned up the heat;
but if given a chance
i&#8217;ll prance and dance
all night in your dreams&#8230;
a sweet and succulent sleep
that will slip you into
eternal peace.

		<description><![CDATA[Happened to come across a contest over at the Gnarls Barkley website. Rules are simple: Write a haiku with a theme of Solitude or Pineapples. Or, if you can manage it, both. Thought it was a fun little exercise, so here are my entries&#8230;
Untitled
Pineapple you tramp-
led over my heart and left
me in Solitude.

What is Solitude?
Solitude is asking [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=journeyfreelance.wordpress.com&blog=352829&post=56&subd=journeyfreelance&ref=&feed=1" />]]></description>

remember there&#8217;s someone who loves you&#8230;

		<description><![CDATA[you are slap-happy desire
with a fire that&#8217;s burning;
like a drug you&#8217;ve got me wired
and happily returning&#8230;
you&#8217;ve reinvented my wheels
as they were no longer working;
and on occasion it feels,
as if i am undeserving&#8230;
accustomed to struggling
i had almost given up hope;
i found myself juggling
while balancing on a rope&#8230;
a high-wire act of confusion
you soon helped me realize;

		<description><![CDATA[stub-hubby
c&#8217;mon honey,
let&#8217;s get a drink.
on the brink
of a blink
i catch your
bat-blind beauty
and so so loopy
style.
i forget to triple check
the chapters
and below-the-sub-
titles.
i savor your pictorials
and feed from editorials
a shore-side shine
of your prolific persona
possibly looped too soon
cast-on-a
morphine moon.

		<description><![CDATA[in a stupor you stumble
through the opening in my heart;
you&#8217;re a bundle of fumble confusion
wanting to untangle and break apart.
there&#8217;s a hazy glaze in your eyes tonight,
a sparkle-shine persistent to flight;
your luminescent light radiates and finds
its way to my shrine of beauty and ground.
your symphonic sounds
write notes on the pages
bound together by my
loneliness without you;

		<description><![CDATA[oooohhh, that smile&#8230;
your style and grace.
although i don&#8217;t know you
i want to embrace
your beautiful blue eyes,
or maybe green or brown
no matter, i&#8217;m still
flattered by your smile
and even your frown.
beguiled by your style
i catch myself falling
before i hit the ground,
before too soon
you&#8217;ll have lured me underground.
