I love her when she;
smiles,
pisses people off
and excites while speaking of her Thesis.
I even love the way that she looks at her boyfriend.
I love her. She loves me not.
Genevive.

Ash
Driving the last nail
into the bridge
that leads to the town,
she built for him.
She looked up
for his approval
but he was nowhere
and had been gone awhile.
She is hurt to her core,
than quickly incinerates
all feelings she had for him.
She pulls the Kerosene
out of her shirt.
She always keeps it
close to her heart.
Even before she crosses the structure,
she sets it ablaze.
Walking through her town,
she lights each building.
Down goes every;
church,...

that leads to the town,
she built for him.

The Romance in Between
Overlooked by many.
Finding her by chance.
Driven straight into the ground.
In love and at first glance.
Hating her facade
and like her cables sheath
Striping down her exterior
he wants what’s underneath
He doesn’t give a fuck
who’s had her in the past
Her name is on his title
So now he owns her last
He’s the only one who knows;
Every bolt and rebuilt part,
how she’ll look when finished
and what she takes to start
And she’s a temperamental bitch
with how she screams and kicks
She knows if she breaks...

Marine Pilot
he responds, “I never have.”
a jading bright remark
just to go on shading
speaking light on something dark
wondering out loud, “you did?”
thinking you said otherwise
shifts to, “probably didn’t?”
while hinting your despise
a supposed, “deserving fate”
my spoken naïve thought
as vacant a response you say,
guessing, “probably not?”
you carry a wish, you knew?
mad for your maddening tow
a saddening “Yes” and into…
“Again though, probably no?
a bystander of a fight
my best bet you presume
with war at odds...

For the Protection of the Public...
The only way to her
A cartographer alone
Detailed himself a map
His origin still unknown
Many a man since him
Attempted the same trail
Each effort marked and noted
Although to no prevail
All along her path
Signs present to warn
Proceed at ones own risk
Cautions a route, forlorn
The prior journeys made
Failed, with cost and measure
She’s the pursuit of expeditions
A forgotten buried treasure
Fallen and unnumbered
Casualties are paramount
Lost and claimed along her way
Their toll cannot be count
...

Lost
Please tell me Little Girl
Where you think you’ll go?
You try to leave so stoically
Though pained escape you show
You’ve: packed, moved, left endlessly
To motion and what for?
Doll, there ain’t no place
That you haven’t been before?
You still lookin’ for that cabin, Gal?
In the woods and far away
A space that’s calming/ still
You “say” a spot you’d finally stay
I’ve watched ya leave, my Dear
Between there and here, for years
Fighting my please, “come backs”

Boy
shake me, make me
hit the ground
tame me, blame me
knock me down
fight me, spite me
call me cursed
restrain me, pain me
do your worst
stalk me, mock me
while I cry
try to kill me
I won’t die
abuse me, use me
to move on
and finally rest,
when I’m gone
cuz…
on the day
that you do
find peace of mind
I’ll come for you
hear this, fear this
with what’s said,
when I’m done, Boy
you’ll wish your dead.

Not Easy to Love
One day after self destructing and destroying everyone and everything in my path I was: left alone, ostracized and inconsolable when he exhaustedly said to me,
“If I was your brother, I would slap you. If I was your boyfriend, I'd rethink you. If I was your friend, I would hate you. All I am, is in love with you. So all I can do, is hold you."
- a guy I know

A
coming to, at nowhere
location still unknown
tired, lost and so confused
I sense I’m not alone
lays next to me, a soul
hurting, looking dead
tired, though no sleep
waking her instead
eyes open and with fear
spreads across her face
plain to see, she’s terrified,
wants to leave this place
synching her up slowly,
crawling to her knees
I offer, “Let’s find help”
staring, she agrees
asking if she’s hurt
“not bad”, I say but lie
worried should we stop
that possibly she’d die

8th Deadly Sin
you grazed my lips
a sex crazed kiss
and felt my wrath
that you call bliss
took me all in
more than you need
left none to share
obsessed with greed
kept you in bed
all day and night
a sloth, a haze
that you won’t fight
you tote me through
each place in stride
hope they all see
me, you with pride
longingly watch
from far away
lust after me
beg me to stay
can’t get enough
ingesting still
glutton’s surpass
far past their fill
now, I’m in love...
