A Love Letter to DUP
It's cold and rainy and I'm on my 5th poem in a week
It's better to let it out they say
So I unleash my fucked up thoughts through prose
Releasing them here
Because there's just not enough room to keep them to myself anymore
I don't even know what to do with them
So I give them to yall
Yes, yes yall
Let you decipher what I thought I meant
You seem to understand me
Better
Critique and criticism mold and shape
And I appreciate it
Cause I feel a little less lost
A little less screwed up
And then I knock, knock ...

Midnight Rides
Clawing myself out of the incredible whirlwind that has become the downward spiral of my life
Bad decisions and mistakes
This bitch ain't got no breaks
It's gotten so wreckless
Madness and mayhem
And not the kind that insurance will cover
I need an escape, to feel numb
But liquor and my wages make a miserable pair
I can't ever wash the weed smell out of my hair
I've lost control
I need power taken over me
Left to my own devices, the destruction I could create seems limitless
In my car in sanctuary
Or solitary confinement
I'm still...

Next Time Duck
I threw some shit
I didn't even aim
Equal opportunity destroyer
For days it's been building
Boiling over until just the pot was left
Empty and hot
Waiting to be agitated
To explode
And I threw some shit
In a hair flying fit of you sons of bitches make me sick
I didn't see red, didn't even see
I'm pissed because the fucked up things keep happening to me
Only me
Yet thanks to you and your theatrics
This shit show only has your name up in lights
What
The
Hell
So yeah I threw some shit
Cause no one ...

I Apologize For The Inconvenience
I apologize for the inconvenience
Of having to pretend
In the end
That there was more
That it wasn't empty
Your true colors
Shades of black and bitch
The proverbial itch
I need to scratch
Off, out, away
I'm cold
But not from that
Cause of the fact
That the hand I needed to hold
Was hollow
Take your time
Get rest
That acting took your best
It was convincing
Award worthy even
I'm hurt
Body sore
Picking myself up off the floor
Bumping into things
With my eyes closed
I...

November 3rd
I wish I had one more day
To see your face
Visual confirmation that the world is intact
I wish I had one more hour
For the sun to rise
So that I would have at least been awake
So that the first thing welcoming me
Back from black
Wouldn't have been that you didn't make it
What?
That you had died
I blinked the sleep from my eyes and woke up to a new reality
The world without you
I didn't properly prepare
But how can you, really?
I just know I wasn't ready...

I'm Leaving This Here, You Can Take It...
It screwed me
Too tight and in the wrong direction
Seeing first hand how I love you and I'll never hurt you
Turn so quickly
Into I didn't hear you and I thought you would like it once we started
A muffled scream is still a scream
Yeah I'm cool now
Until they ask me that question
"Do you?"
I bite my tongue and taste the blood that I remember was still there when you left
I tiptoe around it, and if it's worth it they accept it
Thankfully, they wait for the invitation
Yeah I'm cool now
But you
I hear you're in...

I Made You a Map
I didn't want you to get lost...
It's so easy to misinterpret the unsaid
I didn't want it to come out wrong
So it didn't come out at all
Maybe you wandered off the trail
Did you recalculate your route?
I don't want you to end up in the dungeon of another kingdom
Instead of on the throne in mine
I wanted to be found...
Roaming around dropping bread crumbs
I'm not lost though
I just didn't want to be alone
What this journey has taught me
I long to share
With you
But first you have to miss me
Then find...

Why I'm Never Horny
You don't immediately recognize it
The moment your heart drops
I've been thinking about you all day
No, I don't think I ever stopped
Longing, lingering, needing
How long can you ride out the storm
The most blissful restlessness ever
Pacing the floor til the carpet is worn
Then finally, finally
The cards fall into place
Your dreams of day, the hell of nights
Written all over your face
The taste of your lips like water
To the desert of my desires
Your eyes on my body like rain
Shower me with your fire
Hands on your heartbeat...
The moment your heart drops
I've been thinking about you all day
No, I don't think I ever stopped
Longing, lingering, needing
How long can you ride out the storm
The most blissful restlessness ever
Pacing the floor til the carpet is worn
Then finally, finally
The cards fall into place
Your dreams of day, the hell of nights
Written all over your face
The taste of your lips like water
To the desert of my desires
Your eyes on my body like rain
Shower me with your fire
Hands on your heartbeat...

Either, Or
Either
My body is longing for work
One night only
Legs wrapped around a waist
Fuck me into the infinity and beyond
Of fog and question marks
No face, no name
Or
My body screams for embrace
One willing to learn this road, closed to all but you
Ride it again and again
Memorizing the route
Grip these curves, white knuckles and breathless screams
Either
I've gotten used to sleeping alone
Content with my own body heat
Able to get lost in my dreams
The freedom of space
Roll over, one, two, three
Or
I'll never get...

That Mean Old Man
You always were a mean old man
And you always talked too slow
I remember when I was small
Your house was the last place I wanted to go
You talked too loud it seemed
Morning, noon, night
And your voice was always rocky
Like the words never came out right
Stern and brooding
You would sit there reading the news
I wondered then about you
From your suspenders down to the dusty shoes
I suppose it was about 13
I realized there was more to the world than I could see
And I finally opened my eyes
To the man you used to be ...

The Fire in my Red Hair
I dyed my hair again
I think I'm a red head in heart
Things would have turned out differently
Had I been a red head to start
It seems the fervor of my soul
Is now on full display
And the world reacts to me differently
Than they did just yesterday
They look more closely into my eyes
And squint like staring into the sun
The fire now seems to be in full view
And there's nothing that can be done
They listen more intently to my voice
They come closer into my space
The confidence slithers off my tongue
And hits them like smoke in the...

NON-FICTION PROSE

I'm Free
I'm free
In spite of the constraints of this world
The job just to pay the bills
This house that isn't mine, not really my home
Disconnected heart strings looking for their mate
The opinions of the bored, unable to entertain themselves
The blows of the weak, seeking to be big fish in small ponds
The uncertainty of tomorrow
The questionable everything
Still I'm free...
I live in musical notes and the syllables of prose
I live in the color of beauty and the grace of the night
I am alive with every breath I take
I'm free because my soul doesn't...
