So...
So u come home from work... had a bad day
Babe come here i'll make it better i say
Like always u turn ur head away
With one look u added me to the rejection tray
So i took a bath and stood there naked and wet
Hoping u will notice me but u see my nakedness as a threat
Candles are burning and i smell good
All i get in return is a blow to my womanhood
So i made dinner and kids are asleep already
Made up excuses in his head he said he
Was tired from the gym instead he
Needed to shower as he was apparently very sweaty ...

So i made dinner and kids are asleep already

Lost planet syllabuses
Colors never seen before
You came for me quietly
Knowing I wasn't ready
They will never take me
Alive ...

The Pigs
In the fun warehouse, the pigs were
Dying and you wouldn't kiss me.
I left you to the beautiful blond and brunette
Who mashed their lips against yours
And congratulated your success.
I knew I was groggy as I wandered
The fun house. I was searching for your
Replacement frantically to try to dispel
The pain. But suddenly the crowd was
Only interested in the pigs.
The pigs were brought in alive
But their heads had already been sliced open.
They looked up at me with bewildered eyes
As I ran from room to room, hoping...
Dying and you wouldn't kiss me.
I left you to the beautiful blond and brunette
Who mashed their lips against yours
And congratulated your success.
I knew I was groggy as I wandered
The fun house. I was searching for your
Replacement frantically to try to dispel
The pain. But suddenly the crowd was
Only interested in the pigs.
The pigs were brought in alive
But their heads had already been sliced open.
They looked up at me with bewildered eyes
As I ran from room to room, hoping...

IT WAS A TIGHT FIT
I had wondered
from time to time
what it would be like,
how it would feel.
I had overheard
others talk about
in glowing terms.
I even read about
it and a friend
had experienced it.
Honestly, I lusted
and had to experience
it for myself. So I
saved my money
and bought the
new pair of sneakers all
were raving about;
as I slid my foot into
the right one,
IT WAS TIGHT but
felt marvelous.
Have you ever experienced
a TIGHT FIT?
from time to time
what it would be like,
how it would feel.

always a beef from the west to the east..
rollin to the park
Washington it’s called,
shotgun to my right
my lifelong homey,
J-Rod Romy west side rude dawg,
it’s always a beef
from the west to the east,
the north side of Indy that it’s called,
time for celebration,
fourth weekend throughout the nation,
“Irish Rose” choice of libation,
and the herbals are almost gone,
a three day vacation,
to the park we go racing,
gangstas in...

She was the reckoning
In God’s eye
And she came before his moment
Not unlike
The clamshell breathing
That exhaled enough
Of gritty debris
And salty waste
To stir warm waters to rise
A momentum growing
From one minuscule
Molluskular
Involuntary reaction
To his “pain in her mask”
Pure no count dumb fuckery
A momentum that would rise
And fall
To onslaught
Tidal wave effects

First Kiss
I don’t know why that day was special
But you came to school wearing lipstick.
I thought you were pretty before
But that day I was intrigued with your lips.
I don’t know what came over me
But when my name was called on the list,
To go to the carpet to listen at story time
I just could no longer resist.
I kept looking at you at your desk
And you hadn’t ever noticed me before,
But you wouldn’t ever forget me again
After that day I was sure!
When that brown classroom phone rang
And the teacher reading to us was summoned, ...
But you came to school wearing lipstick.
I thought you were pretty before
But that day I was intrigued with your lips.
I don’t know what came over me
But when my name was called on the list,
To go to the carpet to listen at story time
I just could no longer resist.
I kept looking at you at your desk
And you hadn’t ever noticed me before,
But you wouldn’t ever forget me again
After that day I was sure!

the ledge & the one who sees you....
timing is everything.... especially for those whoms heart and mind are critically in the balance....
all is not lost until all is lost; hanging on for dear life with thoughts contemplating if living's actually worth the cost....
everyone's not fueled the same; everyone does not view this experience as the "same game"....
the lack there of or absence of face to face interaction; compassion; the ledge and the one who "sees you" there.... before the "jump" happens (figurtively speaking....)

Aftermath
Away with us.
Let all our dark prowed ships
now beached upon the edge of toppled Troy
sail outward, hurried on the sea
like swooping terns,
into the salty realm
of combers with their silvered crests
and depths of lucid blue,
where cloud and storm and death within
the homeward run will test
our iron resolve,
and show us all again as truly
Agamemnon’s men.
Come, rise, fill up your oar-lined hulls
each with our own hard-won Cassandras, yes,
and all of Priam’s gold,
and sing, hymn long, hymn loud
to Zeus...

The life You stole~
Master Weaver of Lies
There are times I wonder about how you just moved on…you made it look simple.
Drop the axe on the cord and severe it with no looking back. So absorbed in yourself indulgent and very self-inflicted pain that you never looked at the devastation that you brought into my world. How did I deserve that?
You presented yourself as a victim of love and broken promises, and yet it was just a blueprint of lies used to lure in the sad and vulnerable.
Laughter echo's inside my mind at times. The first phone call, with you talking like Pee Wee...

'B'eing
From Boston to Montana,
wearing a bright blue bandana
in a boxcar of bovine I rode
strumming my benevolent banjo
with brevity, gave a hand-show
during a brush with this noisy cargo
