Poet Introduction
Just another hollowed-out shell of a human trying to find some kind of meaning in all his suffering

One Last Time (?)
Quietly,
I lie in bed
and hang
on every word you said
I close my eyes,
I toss and turn
as in my head
these questions burn
if you could see me
one more time
then, would that make you
change your mind?
if I could simply
hold your hand
would that help you
to understand?
I toss and turn
right out of bed
I think I'll start my day,
instead
I know there's nothing
I can do
my heart will always
ache for you
I have to see you
one more time
to put at ease...

Dysfunction
Her hips sway to the rhythm
as she grinds her body on mine
her creative juices
permeate the senses
but when I take out my pen
the words fall soft
my thoughts are scrambled
as I inhale the nectar
now I wonder how long
it's gonna take
for her to leave me again
out of frustration
and I ache to get it out
but I can't seem to get it in
as she grinds her body on mine
her creative juices
permeate the senses
but when I take out my pen
the words fall soft
my thoughts are scrambled
as I inhale the nectar
now I wonder how long
it's gonna take
for her to leave me again
out of frustration
and I ache to get it out
but I can't seem to get it in

Encrypted
Read all the lines
across my face
you'll never find
a single trace
another time,
another place
the secrets of my heart
are safe
across my face
you'll never find
a single trace
another time,
another place
the secrets of my heart

...Suddenly
Seated high
atop my throne
in my
little fortress
of solitude,
I suddenly
remembered,
much
to my dismay,
that all I had
to eat
today
was a Big Mama
that I got
from the gas station
atop my throne
in my
little fortress
of solitude,
I suddenly
remembered,
much
to my dismay,
that all I had
to eat
today
was a Big Mama
that I got
from the gas station

Fade
The signs of life
could once be seen
in waves of gold
and herbage green
but over time,
the colors fade
and I'm just left
with shades of grey
my world now cast
in shades of death
I find it hard
to catch my breath
I fear that if I stop,
I'll freeze
in mid-December's
icy breeze
I close my eyes
and I can see
the waves of gold
and herbage green
but in the sun
the colors fade
and I'm still left
with...

Vibrations
I hold on loose
but don't let go
and try to hit the strings
"just-so"
the strumming angle
I select
has to achieve the right
effect
my fingers lock down
like a vise
I must ensure
my grip is tight
to really make
the body sing
when I get down
to fingering
it's hard to stop
I love the way
that her body
reverberates
she keeps me calm
and entertained
there's really nothing more
to say
but don't let go
and try to hit the strings
"just-so"
the strumming angle
I select
has to achieve the right
effect
my fingers lock down
like a vise
I must ensure
my grip is tight
to really make
the body sing
when I get down

it's hard to stop
I love the way
that her body

there's really nothing more

Apology II
I dread to live this life that
awaits me
the storm I feel is
not abating
you have your reasons now
to hate me
I see that now, my head's
deflating
I feel so hollow,
dead inside
I killed us with my
foolish pride
I try to run, nowhere
to hide
as deep in me
the pain resides
my conscience is so
overweight
I have become
the man I hate
can't even pin this one
on fate
or something different
that I ate
Goddamn it hurts, but
foolish me ...

When December Ends
It's been a couple winters,
now
you're hard to even be
around
you give these wounds no time
to mend
just wake me when December ends
I try my best to stay
asleep
or otherwise, the darkness
creeps
into the corners
of my brain
and slowly makes me go
insane
but just a little at
a time
so that way I still think
I'm fine
the same way that you
still pretend
just wake me when
December ends
you told me you were going
to sleep

OBSERVATIONAL POEM

Violated
If you're lucky
you will at least
see it coming,
but most of the time
it will simply take you
whenever the mood strikes,
bend you over
and destroy you
with no remorse
or you may find yourself
on your knees
choking for breath
but regardless of the scenario,
one thing is for certain,
life is going to fuck us all
and of course, you can run,
but you'll need to rest
eventually
you can fight back,
but you'll be powerless
to stop life's advances
...but if...

Nil
Start my day
with a head full of regrets
and a cup of coffee
I inhale the smoke
from the cancer
that permeates the air
breakfast is important
so I have 2 bowls,
one is cereal
about halfway
back into the kitchen
I fall into a dream
then I find myself absorbed
in the fragments of ancient lore
I have found in my travels
I catch the sunset
from my peripherals
and realize I have done nothing
the vagaries of thought
snap into focus
and I feel empty
...

Used
Her hips sway
to a tune
long forgotten
she lets me lick
the pollen from the
corners of her lips
she steals away
all the memories
I tried to lose
right to the head
I take her in
but I can't touch
'cos her skin consists
of something my hands
can't seem to grip
I know I can never
make her love me
but I don't care
to be honest,
I kind of like
the abuse
to a tune
long forgotten
she lets me lick
the pollen from the
corners of her lips
she steals away
all the memories
I tried to lose
right to the head
I take her in
but I can't touch
'cos her skin consists
of something my hands
can't seem to grip
I know I can never
make her love me
but I don't care
to be honest,
I kind of like
the abuse

Kvasir
The wisest of the Vanir Gods
most scholars would agree
was fashioned from the spittle
of the other deities
2 dwarves invited him to feast
and much to their delight
he never took the time to think
that something wasn't right
they murdered him
but not for money
then drained his blood
to mix with honey
they later noticed that the mix
had gained some potency
created from his wisdom was
the Mead of Poetry
