Regret: Re-gift
Here it comes
Like a snake hiding behind the door.
I’ll miss
The time spent
Unkempt
Moments
Untidy whirlwinds
But i would rather
Go alone
Then fear the intent
Behind your words.
There is anger there
I don’t need to reckon with.
Like a snake hiding behind the door.
I’ll miss
The time spent
Unkempt
Moments
Untidy whirlwinds
But i would rather
Go alone
Then fear the intent
Behind your words.
There is anger there
I don’t need to reckon with.

OBSERVATIONAL POEM

It would be boring if it wasn’t so sad
I’ve become immune to these disappointments.
Your arms flail around
In spastic anger
And you scream
And you call me a whore
And you’re life is
Burning down around you....
Well, I’ve done this
Many times before
And the earth never opens
Enough to crack the surface
And the sky still floats
Like an ocean of silk
Beyond us and above us.
If you would stop yelling,
I could hear the obdurate chirps of the magpies
While they dance in the dewy grass behind you.
Tell me again
That...
Your arms flail around
In spastic anger
And you scream
And you call me a whore
And you’re life is
Burning down around you....
Well, I’ve done this
Many times before
And the earth never opens
Enough to crack the surface
And the sky still floats
Like an ocean of silk
Beyond us and above us.
If you would stop yelling,
I could hear the obdurate chirps of the magpies
While they dance in the dewy grass behind you.
Tell me again
That...

Ode to everyone’s f**kboi
I know....
It’s a dead cat
In the middle of the room.
You never lied
Never tried
To poison my heart with
Useless emotion
You told me once
“.....I do not reciprocate
............your feelings, dear”
My inconsolable love for you.
Your words were
Stone
Heavy and hard
And I took them in
And I made myself
Understand
But how...
Did you
Still smolder
With feeling?
I saw it in your eyes
Once or twice
And in
The way you
Gripped my...

Strangers
I always hover
On the edge
Never trusting you,
Not all the way,
I’ll never let go
Of the railing.
It’s been years
Of learning
Of constantly yearning
To find another mind
To wed.
It’s not yours.
And maybe that
Mind doesn't exist
Maybe
We all file through the tunnel alone
In this giant world.
I can freely give you my body
But I remain detached.
One of our minds is incomplete
It’s probably mine…..
I don’t think you
Recognize the calamity
On the edge
Never trusting you,
Not all the way,
I’ll never let go
Of the railing.
It’s been years
Of learning
Of constantly yearning
To find another mind
To wed.
It’s not yours.
And maybe that
Mind doesn't exist
Maybe
We all file through the tunnel alone
In this giant world.
I can freely give you my body
But I remain detached.
One of our minds is incomplete
It’s probably mine…..
I don’t think you
Recognize the calamity

Secret
Keep it in the cellar
Along with the others
That squirm in agony….
Because despite
Never being free,
They never die
Along with the others
That squirm in agony….
Because despite
Never being free,
They never die

Oxygen
There are days of fire
When all the pain of living
Surfaces in
Magnificent flames
And all it can do is burn.
When all the pain of living
Surfaces in
Magnificent flames
And all it can do is burn.

To be candid...
I want to write a poem
That doesn’t sink the soul
But it’s what I know.
Sometimes I'm Scum….
I need this
Murky self-reflection
Self-deprecation
Because I don’t
Have a clue how to
Climb out from here
And if I did
I don’t know where I’d go.
But I don’t really want to
Keep thinking about
All the ways I’m broken
Or how to re-assemble
These pieces that really have
Never really been together
There are a thousand truths
That are unbearable.
And right now ...
That doesn’t sink the soul
But it’s what I know.
Sometimes I'm Scum….
I need this
Murky self-reflection
Self-deprecation
Because I don’t
Have a clue how to
Climb out from here
And if I did
I don’t know where I’d go.
But I don’t really want to
Keep thinking about
All the ways I’m broken
Or how to re-assemble
These pieces that really have
Never really been together
There are a thousand truths
That are unbearable.
And right now ...

The world without you
After all,
You did save me
From the words he said
Before he was dead
You walked in
And made me feel
That what he said
Wasn’t actually real.
This is why I think
I love you
And it’s okay now
To let you go.
You welded into shape
The cavity of abuse
From the words he said
Those many nights with you
Heavy with your musk
Bleeding aspirin
I don’t believe in life after death
And this life is
No longer controlled
By those words
You entombed
...

Just a little sad today
If I wasn’t so afraid
I would find a way
To tell you
How I still sink with doubt
In this dreary world
I wonder
If my name lingers
Even a wisp of of thought
In your crowded mind
I loved loving you
I loved your darkness
And the plumpness of your
Bottom lip.
In the wake of your absence
I am an ocean
Of vulnerability
And in the hazardous blue
I am weak because of you
Fighting to reach the surface
I fear change
But you left anyway
And now I sit in...
I would find a way
To tell you
How I still sink with doubt
In this dreary world
I wonder
If my name lingers
Even a wisp of of thought
In your crowded mind
I loved loving you

Bottom lip.
In the wake of your absence
I am an ocean
Of vulnerability
And in the hazardous blue

Fighting to reach the surface
I fear change
But you left anyway
And now I sit in...

Tundra Skin
You are the skin of a wolf
I followed your blood
Without opening my eyes
You are feral, raw indifference
And I knew I was nothing but prey
That your heart would never move.
You know that I suffer
A body burned
In death’s dreary acid bath
But, in your musk
I found a moment respite
I just wish your teeth
Were less sharp
And your chill had less bite.
I followed your blood

You know that I suffer

I found a moment respite
I just wish your teeth
Were less sharp
And your chill had less bite.
