Hypocrite
Lips slickly frosted with wild blossom honey
breathing flows of frauds fragrantly flowered
with a soul as filthy as a murderer’s money
and a heart petty and resentful as a coward
how grand and glorious my self perception
so superior my thoughts and views
how refined and advanced my expression
standing pompous in my shoes
hypocrisy is evil’s proud and loving mother
ravenous glutton from hell
eating joy from each other
leaving only a shell

Must Reading
emails from people I’ve never known prices of houses I’ll never own
notice of another disapproved loan
in some ways better than being alone
reading in the nowhere zone
journals littered with unfinished pages
employment offers without any wages dramas that never made it to stages
in some ways better than being alone
reading in the nowhere zone
exotic vacations I’ll never take magazine covers I’ll never make
lists full of records I’ll never break
in some ways better than being alone
reading in the nowhere zone
notice of another disapproved loan
in some ways better than being alone
reading in the nowhere zone
journals littered with unfinished pages
employment offers without any wages dramas that never made it to stages
in some ways better than being alone
reading in the nowhere zone
exotic vacations I’ll never take magazine covers I’ll never make
lists full of records I’ll never break
in some ways better than being alone

If Then
If I cannot feel
If I can have no effect
Then can I be real
If I can have no effect
Then can I be real

The Unseen Hater
Hungry howls the hollow pit of the grim invader
for what does it yearn
the kind soul of the willing trader
to whom this may concern
artful treachery of the corrupt persuader
tormented pupils eager to learn
led down an alley to an incinerator
where love is lost and dreams burn
for misled victims of the unseen hater
from whom kind souls do not return.

St Patrick’s Day Blessing
May dawn’s hope quell midnight’s fear
May wonders spark and blocks disappear
May each moment renew
May your soul always glow
May poetry bless you
Wherever you go
May wonders spark and blocks disappear
May each moment renew
May your soul always glow
May poetry bless you
Wherever you go

Thorns
Thorns mourn the rose
clipped and displayed
to wilt and dispose
in a life and death trade
lost love gone
memories fade
thorns carry on
not lonely but neglected
not bitter but betrayed
not discouraged but rejected
forever unafraid
mourning the rose
clipped and displayed
clipped and displayed
to wilt and dispose
in a life and death trade
lost love gone
memories fade
thorns carry on
not lonely but neglected
not bitter but betrayed
not discouraged but rejected
forever unafraid
mourning the rose
clipped and displayed

Deeper
Childhood trauma
backwards karma
dig deeper
bachelors and masters
financial disasters
dig deeper
forced resignations
false allegations
dig deeper
shattered visions
failed decisions
dig deeper
deeper and deeper
through your skin
through your bones
to the soul that lies within
through your craziest twilight zones through dimensions never known
and deeper deeper evermore

Another Part Of Me Is Lost
Dark room, somber faces,
scattered thoughts, sad embraces,
flash backing years,
choking back tears,
disbelief,
unspeakable grief,
a beautiful path no longer crossed,
another part of me is lost
scattered thoughts, sad embraces,
flash backing years,
choking back tears,

unspeakable grief,
a beautiful path no longer crossed,

Heart and Soul
Decision fails
heads or tails
results occurred
mostly heard
reasons behind it
best defined it
numbers roll
heart and soul
eyes gaze toward
score on the board
or the latest poll
from a jagged hole
blame and shame
end in flame
or take their toll
