Crab
Red hard shell
Legs that scuttle away fast as hell
claws that can break even if I never shall
the shallow pools feed me and my pals
you'll see me in my sandy kingdom no doubt
because the summer sun always finds me out
though it's true I have a bad reputation
I understand my crusty station
I do not try to be greedy
even though my legs always feed the needy
I am the king of this hill
and like the rain, being here I always will.

DARK POEM

One last time
I heard your voice today
feels like forever but it was clear as day
you told me one simple phrase
something to darken the current sun's rays
'do it' as I gave myself a shave
looking at my neck I did not feel brave
rather I felt weak and sad that you
still have a room it's true
but you're voice reflects you now
weak and no longer in control no how
I finished my task without a single drop of red
with your weak voice trailing off in my head
little did you know I did listen to you in a way
I did it and I cut you out of me today.

Lightning strikes twice
Thank you doesn't seem enough
Hardly even scratching your heart so tough
United in your pain and past we did become
New lovers, many battles to overcome
Darling I would rather die by your side
Earning my place in Valhalla's tide
Resting in your beauty and grace
Seeing you again is my newfound place
That I must sojourn to
Reaching your heart's paradisal igloo
Until at last you come to see
Crucifying yourself is unnecessary
Karma has at last found you.

Thunderstruck by Cupid
Today was tough, tough as they come
Having to realize I'd become so numb
Until I did a new evaluation
Now I have become my own salvation
Dying to live again, to run, to soar
Even maybe, dare I, love once more
Readying myself was never my style
So maybe I should accept the wild for a while
That's my new plan, to speak freely, to love
Racing towards heavens gates above
Until at long last I do find
Cerberus no longer nipping at my behind
Kisses from Her once again saving the day
Having to realize I'd become so numb
Until I did a new evaluation
Now I have become my own salvation
Dying to live again, to run, to soar
Even maybe, dare I, love once more
Readying myself was never my style
So maybe I should accept the wild for a while
That's my new plan, to speak freely, to love
Racing towards heavens gates above
Until at long last I do find
Cerberus no longer nipping at my behind
Kisses from Her once again saving the day

Children of the story
We all have the same gift
but a finger we would not lift
until it becomes an issue of pride
then the venom we cannot contain inside.
Backbiting, jealousy and egos did grow
until beautiful words no longer could flow
tongues become quiet and still
as fingers type words meant to kill,
ugly desires did become the norm
as demons took form,
now what was once a loving troupe
have become strange chickens in the coop.
I hope the heart can be turned sweet again
and allow the honeyed words to win.
but a finger we would not lift
until it becomes an issue of pride
then the venom we cannot contain inside.
Backbiting, jealousy and egos did grow
until beautiful words no longer could flow
tongues become quiet and still
as fingers type words meant to kill,
ugly desires did become the norm

I hope the heart can be turned sweet again
and allow the honeyed words to win.

Home?
Home at last, or so I thought
but since leaving you, happiness is distraught
the things I left behind, with you
equal more than I brought back it's true.
Long days and even longer flights,
my body is tire but my mind is not alright,
seeking you the only way it now can
with photographs it makes it's final stand.
You're there, and I am here this is true
but distance doesn't exist for me and you.

Potato
My sweet little potato,
so short and versatile and yummy too
how I can't wait to show
my favorite recipe that's a dream come true.

Sometimes the end is ok
The end, always so dark and gloomy
leaving rooms feeling far too roomy,
we always look at the end of the line
crying out for just a little more time.
But the end is not always so low,
that's the one thing I never did know,
the end of self, when you find the one
the end of darkness as you finally find the sun,
or even the end of excuses
when you open your heart and cease being exclusive.
Yes, the end is always the end, of that I'm sure
but sometimes, the end can mean so much more.
For me, the end came when I met you,
now the only...
leaving rooms feeling far too roomy,
we always look at the end of the line
crying out for just a little more time.
But the end is not always so low,

Egg Rolls
It was super simple,
but felt so magical inside your temple,
no expectations had become our motto
but being with you was like winning the lotto
no more need for jokes or words
emotions and feelings coming in herds
stampeding over us both so freely
simply put, thank you for a free me.
The egg rolls you served on my plate,
letting me know simple times could be great
you make it easy to forget my self hate
as you constantly build and push
hiding in the shadows like a burglar in the bush
though the trials may be wooly and mammoth ...

Questions that Buffalo me
The first question I have on deck,
what the hell is Weck?
Secondly I must know
why is everyone so scared of snow?
But the most important question of all
why are y'all so terrible at football?
These questions are perplexing I understand,
but the information I've gained was more than planned,
so maybe I dont have all the answers after all
or maybe it's just some deity's laughter call.
Bundle up is all I hear, like a Christmas story
but I'd rather not die here, where's the glory?

At long last the morning has come
At long last, the day has arrived
fears conquered, somehow I survived
on the long journey to find a gem
that has remained hidden from them,
the rest of the world has no clue
how I have longed to finally be with you
And now, you did not disappoint
but rather you pushed my expectations to a new point
seeing the beauty and intelligence set before me
I know now, this trip was noteworthy.
So now I sit at this table in silence
fighting with my heart to cease the violence
deep inside, no more reason to run or hide
but rather, just...
