Triple A: Admissions, anxieties; Authorship
Trapped
Beat down by anxiety
Since when do your words
Control my self esteem?
This many views
That many comments
The math in my head
all adds up to sheer nonsense
Burdened by the contents of a racing mind
I realize my sins
I take and waste my time
Searching and binding thoughts together
With threads of soft lace
Sanity seldom tethered
My heart and hands in a race
Frantic
Manic
Too good for constructive criticism
Sluggish
Static
Lost
In a sea of cynicism
They say...

Admissions: I still care
I'll keep this short and sweet
You've got prose to post
Better work to read
Just hear me out
I'm rocking and pitching
I won't be saved
From those churning seas
I'm about to down
I'm just using the same words
To say the same things
The aqua filling my lungs
As I continue to sink
I've treaded water for years
Grabbing at planks of my splintered ship
To stay afloat
Drifting on the brink of death
And no matter what I pretend
And even though I wish I didn't
I...

A Message for Saint Valentine
Only on this day
is waiting on love a sin
as if our worth as companions
is at the bottom of bought tins
And they fill them with chocolate
and little candy hearts
while the confectioner in the back room
is the only one working hard
We buy cheesy cards
maybe scribble our names
take the lazy way out
we feel no shame
Some go above
yes some go beyond
with grandiose gestures
really over the top
But that seems no better
just makes love a sprint
do something one day
just get it over with
But love...

Short and Sweet (But not Short Where it Matters)
I wish my poems that spoke
of my ponderous reflections
got as much attention
as the ones about erections
of my ponderous reflections
got as much attention
as the ones about erections

Muted Ire (This is Nothing Compared to what's in Store) (f**king Read it Anyways Please).
Spilling my heart
with simple strokes
I hope not pray
that it touches your soul
A social animal
a man in the cold
if this is sounding like Genesis
it's 'cause I'm just an echo
A mirror
creating reflections
a life lived in love
in much need of direction
Please give me some?
I get so low
so down
so stressed
that sometimes it's hard
to even get dressed
And when I fucking struggle
to even get out of bed
you all just say
“We love the pain in your head”
Like it's all somehow worth it...

Reflections: A Walk I remember
Flakes dance in the air
carried away by my gusting breaths
I send them to oblivion
as I tromp down my front steps
The walks plowed clear
by men before me
how early had they risen
simply to ensure that I could secure
more than my fair share of provisions?
What were their hands like?
Did they have scars?
Did their wives ever knit them ugly mittens
that they chose to don with pride and care
simply because they are smitten?
I chide myself as I wait for a stopped car
watching a passenger get in
Why do I assume that it...

I'm f**king Depressed (Less Abrasive Title forthcoming)
Drip, drip, drip
Fall the tears from my eyes
Counting down the ways
I wish I could die
Every brave face
Is just another lie
I'll go to class tomorrow
With this pain disguised
Hidden from my friends
All the girls and guys
I can't break down for them
But they keep me alive
Wishing on a stranger
To lend me their arms
So I could fall apart
Would that do them harm?
The anguish congealed
Making a lump in my throat
Screaming for love
Hoping no one knows
Another night
And then the day...
Fall the tears from my eyes
Counting down the ways
I wish I could die
Every brave face
Is just another lie
I'll go to class tomorrow
With this pain disguised
Hidden from my friends
All the girls and guys
I can't break down for them
But they keep me alive
Wishing on a stranger
To lend me their arms
So I could fall apart
Would that do them harm?
The anguish congealed
Making a lump in my throat
Screaming for love
Hoping no one knows
Another night

Like Threads of Soft Lace: Binding (Genesis, Give it a Chance. The Worst Part is Pretending, Between the Trees)
Overtaken by unconsciousness
my preferred state of mind
from my dreams I can realize my sins
I can take my time
A world of nothing else but sensuous design
my love between the trees
in the loft
in the classroom
combined
Like threads of soft lace
our cries and bodies entwined
those circles now etched in my palms
as I part her eager thighs
Feeling her allow me in as another inks new tattoos
with tender bites
and a third with nails
each with different attitudes
different appetites
Hesitant
aloof...

It's Kind of Romantic (Give it a Chance)
She once took my hand while we were listening to her favorite bands
tracing circles on my palms and asking ”Do you like that?”
I shrugged and just said “It feels like contact.”
as she went on to explain her reasons for that
“The palms of your hands are very sensitive, in fact.
It's kind of romantic
give it a chance.”
As we sat in silence listening to an instrumental
I felt nothing
and now I'm beyond regretful
I don't remember the song
she said it was her favorite
I remember the band
and when I'm thinking of her ...

The Worst Part is Pretending
Sitting in the back seat
you toying with my zipper
while we pretended to care
about buying cheap liquor
Again in the back seat on the way to Superior
your nails digging into my jeans
clawing at the material
On the couch with our friends during a group sleep over
where lascivious kisses were less than covert
my brother and his girl trying to cover up the urge
but they kissed that night too
and we knew they would work
cuddled on the couch
rubbing under the blanket
while they all pretended not to know
it was cheating,...

Between the Trees
That night we slept in between the trees
is one of my most vivid memories
The first time I saw you on your knees
how you looked as I eagerly awaited release
Branding my neck so lustily
with temporary tattoos
I haven't said so since
but I'm so happy I had you
The thought of bite marks trailing
down my body
it just never fails
to leave me wanting
Your moans like ghosts
that won't stop haunting
filling my ears
as you were mounting my body
Breath on my neck
skin to my skin
I'd firebomb an orphanage...

Genesis
rebirth
recede
my old words still mean so much to me
but its time I get what I deserve
now it's I who needs the amity
a dash of macabre
a pinch of pissed off
a scream
a sob
a quick fuck in the loft
a little too short in temper and stature
wishing I were taller
just trying to matter
much too shy
too easily flattered
so confident sometimes
but mostly so shattered
Just using the same words to say the same things
trying again and again
hoping someday they will have a new ring
Wanting to write...
