Poet Introduction
I'm not for everyone.
Vagina Eyes
I used to despise
when they showed up
broken and more beautiful
than they were before
My vagina eyes
made them look
so god damn fucking gorgeous
that I had to lose myself
by being impaled
by the very falseness
that made them
leave in the
first place
I craved it more than air
And then despised myself
even more after it was over
Anger and lust
make strange but
familiar bedfellows
when they showed up
broken and more beautiful
than they were before
My vagina eyes
made them look
so god damn fucking gorgeous
that I had to lose myself
by being impaled
by the very falseness
that made them
leave in the
first place
I craved it more than air
And then despised myself
even more after it was over
Anger and lust
make strange but
familiar bedfellows

Band of Misfits
Together we spill the words we cannot say
Work at the ramblings we’d rather not give away
Jot a cry in the dark when there is no other way
Sing the joy in our hearts we dare not display
Purge the sorrow of years forgotten we left for other days
Capture the rage in the demons we strive to slay
Hoping to salvage the relationships we try to sway
Remembering the questions left unanswered as we watch shadows play
We’re just a band of misfits scribbling our lives upon a page
Work at the ramblings we’d rather not give away
Jot a cry in the dark when there is no other way
Sing the joy in our hearts we dare not display
Purge the sorrow of years forgotten we left for other days
Capture the rage in the demons we strive to slay
Hoping to salvage the relationships we try to sway
Remembering the questions left unanswered as we watch shadows play
We’re just a band of misfits scribbling our lives upon a page

You, The Man Who Bares His Soul Silently
I understand your need for anonymity
While part of you wants to shoutout your intentions
You know I will not turn you away
Although we have never met
I know how to fulfill what you desire silently
How to ease your troubles
We have that understanding
Acceptance
I know your need to rescue me from the jadedness
You desire a simple life for me
We have that understanding
Although we have never met
In dreams we hold hands while sitting on a dock ...

Revenge Story
High school sweethearts
They knew each other well
A heady romance that started
Beyond the afternoon bell
Groping, traveling hands
And lips that tasted sweet
They soon had passionate sessions
That played on repeat between the sheets
Both each other’s firsts
They vowed to stay together
Nothing could tear them apart
There wasn’t a storm they couldn’t weather
Marriage came first
Then they were a small family of four
But by the time the last could walk
He already found himself a whore
...

A Solitary Daisy
Planted along a worn rickety fence
In the front yard of a paint peeled white house
Stands a solitary daisy
Among blades of grass taller than she
A waft of her feint cheerful scent
Carried by the warm summer morning breeze
Brushes past me as I bend to bend to pick her
I am amazed at the simplicity she radiates
Graceful, dainty petals swaying
Strong, rooted stem giving way
I tenderly place her in my long, curly fire hair
Humbled by her innocence
I seemingly become to be as...

A Treasure House of Goodies
His thoughts and memories work overtime
Stuck in the prison of his own mind
Clanging his cage of pent up rage
He spews obsessions, untruths and arrogance
As I listen
No longer intently
Sometimes with only half an ear
Using television or music in the background to drown out my sorrow
As he tells me his brain is a treasure house of goodies
He has a plan for when he’s sprung from the psych ward
Medication free
Crack binges
And sex
He asks me if I want to travel ...

He has a plan for when he’s sprung from the psych ward

Oh, eyes filled with lust
Showing your appetite

My Chronicles - a Mashup with Uncanny-wordsmith
Can I still fly?
Taking flight like the eagle
Soar high with trembling wings
Like I once did
I once imagined I was a Viking
My sword at the ready
Rigidness crafted by my own hands
The armor born of my vulnerabilities
How long will it last?
Feigning happiness
Perhaps eternity or for a short while
“I am not depressed”
Is the story my smile tells others
My mind forever the antagonist
Callous in its ability to feel ...

Love’s Sweet Repose - With AtticusAbbey
My naked heart surprised me
For it is here that I saw you
Sipping on my desire
For eternity is forever
Full of marshmallow clouds
With symphony tea
Drink my heart song
Take shelter in my calm
Dance in my passion
Is it too old fashioned
To say “I love you”
Before the dawn
Has fallen the dew
For it is here that I saw you
Sipping on my desire
For eternity is forever
Full of marshmallow clouds
With symphony tea
Drink my heart song
Take shelter in my calm
Dance in my passion
Is it too old fashioned
To say “I love you”
Before the dawn
Has fallen the dew

Friend
You brought me to the place I could heal
You saved my desperation
You told me to cry
You listened
You brought me to the place I could try
You saved my confusion
You told me to talk
You listened
You brought me to the place I could walk
You saved my loneliness
You told me to sing
You listened
You brought me to a place of joy
You saved my intuition
You told me to fly
You listened
You listened
You saved my desperation
You told me to cry
You listened
You brought me to the place I could try
You saved my confusion
You told me to talk
You listened
You brought me to the place I could walk
You saved my loneliness
You told me to sing
You listened
You brought me to a place of joy
You saved my intuition
You told me to fly
You listened
You listened

Love’s Repose - With Adagio
Love’s deed
A rose of verses
In evolution
With feathered quill
Complex emotions
A brief moment
Neath cosmic skies
With the color of flame
Bringing me happiness
When I feel pain
Feeling pure
As you touch me
With a blue sonnet
As sunlight ushers vision
Bringing forth a jubilation
With clarity of the sunrise
A rose of verses
In evolution
With feathered quill
Complex emotions
A brief moment
Neath cosmic skies
With the color of flame
Bringing me happiness
When I feel pain
Feeling pure
As you touch me
With a blue sonnet
As sunlight ushers vision
Bringing forth a jubilation
With clarity of the sunrise
