SHE
She's reserved at first
Don't ask her a lot of questions
If she is unsure of you
You'll get answers like:
Maybe
Possibly
Perhaps
Wait her out
It's worth it
Plan on a long time-frame
If you rush her
Well, that would be a mistake
Don't think you're different
You're not
If she lets you in
You'll be addicted
I know ....

The Walk Back
As I'm walking back down
this long hallway
the thousand candles
along the floor
go out behind me
one at a time
It's not from a rush of wind
it's the absence of oxygen
A countdown to closure;
Darkness is coming
I've shut the door
but it still gets in
Every candle was a day
a poem, of a life lived
Now my words are receding
They were my tide that brought me
and now they lead me away
I gather them up
into my old book bag
Like a disgruntled paper boy

365 Days of DUP
As I secretly peeked into a new realm
Following a friend whom I did not tell
I was in awe of what I seen
This place is not real.
It must be a dream
I went full force
Not thinking twice
First poem I put out (I want to Fuck You)
Seemed to suffice
As responses came
So did some Dm’s
Some comments were tame
Some messages I could not stand
Months went by
Like a puff of smoke
As I spread my wings
Sometimes, gripping someone’s unsuspecting throat
I have witnessed a...

466 days and some change
you ask if I had a
tetanus shot
before you pull
my naked madness
to yours
foreheads pressed,
your hands circle
my waist as
that razor sharp
bear-trap
on your chest
creaks on rusty springs
and baby
if it takes 10,000 hours
to develop callus enough
to endure
then I am
emotional fucking psoriasis
a mountain of
uncalcified heart skin
chronically rubbed off
against your chest spires
and I’ll give you
10,000 movie magic
moments ...

The art of a proper kiss
You pecked my
cheek on your
way to another
grueling day
and I was in that
domestic conflict where
a smooch is cool.
You know.
You thought of me.
That’s sweet.
But you stopped
at the door
and I could almost see
the static in your mind
when you decided
to make me think of you
me think of you
All fucking day.
Your hand tangled
in the back of my head

And you know what ?
It felt good ....

The End Of Our Journey
I will try & reach the end
To see what I've become
This is the beginning of the end
The end of an era
Let us go to the end
To see what we've become
This is the beginning of the end
The end of our journey
This star once shined so bright
It is now a death star
Some have escaped, others will not
And the countdown to extinction has begun
Will there be new horizons and beyond?
Or is this the end to many of our identities?
It is up to you and only you to make that final decision
To see what I've become
This is the beginning of the end
The end of an era
Let us go to the end
To see what we've become
This is the beginning of the end
The end of our journey
This star once shined so bright
It is now a death star
Some have escaped, others will not
And the countdown to extinction has begun
Will there be new horizons and beyond?
Or is this the end to many of our identities?
It is up to you and only you to make that final decision

D Minor
Candlelight flickers against a dark ceiling
Another tequila shot with a beer backer
Writing blunt words forecasting a feeling
This ink that stains the page like lacquer
Miserable vibes eating from the inside out
Spiraling deeper into famine and drought
Penning poetry in the chord of D minor
Reflecting what’s going on in this fragile heart
Always the opening act to the headliner
Knowing who’s real or just acting the part
Different kind of cat running through lives
An open book with a stubborn streak

THANK YOU DUP POETS
THERE
is no genuine way
you can fully know
how encouraging,
thought provoking you
have been by sharing
your unique poems.
THE
unique subjects, incredible
style; even the frustrations
and apologies for having
to be open and honest in
commenting about a subject
or a writer. Love cares!
YOU
have been a cadre of teachers,
magicians, mold breakers, and
coaches beyond value...a
divine gift.
AS
our community of love
and togetherness take on
new venues, assignments,
and renew our vows ...

Oasis
You staggered in like a man
drowned in sand;
chapped lips,
bleached eyes,
skin peeled away at the
creases in your mind
Your hard hand
captured my wrist
viper-fast,
and brought my
palm to your
fevered cheek
as if I had a lingering
kiss of winter on
my fingers
you closed your eyes,
let go of the
breath gripped
in your chest,
and shifted your face
to touch your
mouth to the center
of my palm
and that was enough
to pull you down on...
