POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
#6
Crisp waters as morning fog rises
With the sun of today reflecting
On memories of my progeny
All awaiting for something
I wish I knew
All the voices echo through the
Canyons like electric pulses
Stimulating stillness internally
Rising like rainbows rippling
The supltley in today
Yesterday is galling from burden
Bare on my skin, musty and old
Now black green checkered balm
Sifting sand in aging hands
Motionless in this matrix
Garland's ecapitulation urges
For our tenure is not over ...

The Ghost of Townes
Please don't go shinning
Your blue eyes on me
I've enough to be doing
With my own regrets
The ghost of Townes
Was walking with me
Half awake
In the middle of a dream
Sat at my kitchen table
Scribbling down words
I couldn't read
He sang of lost causes
And forgotten days
Letting the best of him
Go slipping away
Things he never wrote
Words he couldn't say
Your blue eyes on me
I've enough to be doing
With my own regrets
The ghost of Townes
Was walking with me
Half awake
In the middle of a dream
Sat at my kitchen table
Scribbling down words
I couldn't read
He sang of lost causes
And forgotten days
Letting the best of him
Go slipping away
Things he never wrote
Words he couldn't say

White Light
White light on the horizon
Could it be me
20 years from now
Happy and free
Port is dark tonight
Orion in my arms
Must have thought
A dozen times tonight
Did he ever feel like me
My prison made from
Loneliness
Of 360 degrees
Kelp sparkling magically
Past starboard
Wingwall aft
Midnight approaches
The South China Sea
My mouth dry
From the cigarettes
Watching lighted dreams

You don't answer my calls
You don't respond to my texts
Manipulating our friendship
I ve no idea what to expect
I seen you face the wall
I didn't go on my own
I gave you everything I had
So you weren't there alone
Told you about my childhood
The struggles I've endured
I was only talking to the wall
Now I'm climbing on my own
The wall is in front of me
More gigantic than before
Every step feels like
A hundred million years
Stuck in pain and fear
Waiting for a friend

B Young old and broke haha
I got my own house though
My own family
So I'm writing a new chapter
A new beginning
Now I got to start running again
Lose all this weight I put on
Dealing with all the bullshit
I mean did I choose this world
This life? Did I choose it? Do we?
Choose our own consciousness?
I mean how the fuck?
Why did I choose me?
Some people wake up
And they are Lebron James
Or I don't know? But not me?
Fuck man!
How the fuck em I?
Well I guess I got to make
The most of...

"Dreams of Eddie"
Twenty five years or so
Time falls like rain
Your face, that snap
Where did it come from
My friend, since then
Through all the pain
I've thought about you
Everyday
Newports and bourbon
Funny no more
Your eyes all alone
In your rusty bed
Separation
Anxiety
Who heard it before
New to us then
I awoke last night
Thought i had it
All figured out
It's just too complex
There's not a chance
I'd write it down
But it stayed with me
For far too long

Where am I tonight
Sitting anxiously on the couch
Staring at the blank photos on the shelves
Lost in the black holes of my mind
I knew it all along
I'd had to rewrite it all
My childhood
All the memories
Now I'm no one. No one at all
It's almost midnight
Still no messages on my phone
I guess it's over now
All the pain is gone I try to tell myself
Reassurance my insurance so blind
You and I. Me and everyone it's cruel
I'm just a man caught up in this world
Tormented by the outcome
The waves crash...

Hunger Pains
This hunger is a sickness
I don't how I'm gonna make it though
I've often said that Im fortunate
it's not heroin or booze
Yeah I can function
Just fine on the outside
But deep down I'm dying every day
The night time hits me hard
Seems to last until forever
I use to have forever
Now I feel old
Something triggers
I still don't where it comes from
Been to counselling
Ran up mountains and through walls
Can't seem to kick
this secrete habit of mine
Those who know me
know I drive myself forward...

Issues
I ve been a sinner since I was 3 years old
Singing hallelujah while I piss in the road
Lost my virginity at the innocent age of eight
When my cousin taught me gay incest rape
Had my first gun when I was in the 4th grade
Bang bang shooting birds in the feeder
Marsha, Greg, Jan and poor little Peter
Cindy & Bobby warned us all of the butcher
C is for cookie sang the Cookie Monster
I fuck like Bundy. Eat like Dahmer. Crunch
Rip open a cereal box of fruity pebbles
With my razor teeth. Hop hop little rabbit ...

Angels Die
Got off the phone yesterday
My psychiatrist he says he says he says
Oh yeah I've got a psychiatrist
Man I don't feel like going into work today
I feel like a complete mess
The world feels like it's collapsing
On top of me
And I can't breath I can't feel a thing
I just need you to say that you need me
That you need me to stay
please please don't you cry
The world is full of evil things
And all human you know
It's time to get up and go
Angels die
Sometimes I don't know what the hell to say
Maybe...

Father Bob
I can't sing and I can't rap though
I can write slick lines
That rhyme with nintendo
Like all day or night
Use my super hero powers
Brew up a stom and lighting bolts
Electrocute your prostate
until its black and blue
Your hole it hurts
like your hemorrhoids just burst
leaking yellowish green poo
Like Dr pimple popper
When you're on the toilet steaming
Jerking off to all your demons
Come here little boy
I heard that you've been swearing
Come sit on Father Bob's lap
And no I ain't wearing
any...
