Poet Introduction
Wait . . . Poetry? I thought this was a dating site!
coffee and other drugs
watching the drug deal
in the parking lot of tim hortons
taco bell is full
cinco de mayo
poor choice this town is full of idiots.
i drink my coffee do my work
and leave this for you

when i see myself as a villain
innocence like a cliche
we expunge it
lust and greed are omnipresent
what happened to what was so good?
she seems so fragile
and beautiful
i would hate to mess this up
something so pure
so dear
so near
and as she sings sweetly
i wonder if i should take this from her
because the future is so unsure
and dangerous
so hard
...
maybe just a kiss?

imaginationing
i can see her weaving through the haze
dancing, slurring her steps, singing her name
laughter, bubbling up and flowing over
graceful, nimble, falling over
this party is quite the place
i laugh at her as she comes over
said "hi, I'm Mike. What's your name?"
sometimes i see her stumble
so graceful
like she's dancing
in dreams we're just the same
dancing, slurring her steps, singing her name
laughter, bubbling up and flowing over
graceful, nimble, falling over
this party is quite the place
i laugh at her as she comes over
said "hi, I'm Mike. What's your name?"
sometimes i see her stumble
so graceful
like she's dancing
in dreams we're just the same

need to
i burn, i quiver
i wander far and near
i consume myself with rage
fall, get up, repeat
start over
i fall inward
outward
over the side
measured and steady
i know my pace
slow down
feel this
i need to bleed
need to breath
need to need
see me leave
long enough to sleep
wake up and feel again
i start to remember
i hope to forget
burn the bridge
i wander far and near
i consume myself with rage
fall, get up, repeat
start over
i fall inward
outward
over the side
measured and steady
i know my pace
slow down
feel this
i need to bleed
need to breath
need to need
see me leave
long enough to sleep
wake up and feel again
i start to remember
i hope to forget
burn the bridge

if
if she had wanted
to be with me
she would have been
she is not
in conclusion
the jury will note that
she didn't even try
and I'm done

Late again
My heart feels heavy to me
Leaden
Trod down by heartbreak
Or maybe it's a lack of caffeine
It isn't so much what I want as what I had
Sometimes I just feel so ill equipped for these
Romantic endeavors
It's the rules you see
I'm a big believer in rules
Not that I always follow them
But they give an excellent starting point
Guidance
A clear path to follow
But now the rules are changing again
Prude or rude
It gets so hard to tell
And anyways there's that prophecy
I have a long time to wait
No romance isn't for the timid...

God, not again!
I miss the days like falling rain
And her lips just don't feel the same
The past haunts
No!
Taunts me
Remind me what I had
I remember. You can stop.
But there are new people and I don't care
You see I had thought I was done
My last first kiss how exciting it had been
But it wasn't
Probably
I just don't know anymore
But I carry on and hope I figure this shit out
And her lips just don't feel the same
The past haunts
No!
Taunts me
Remind me what I had
I remember. You can stop.

S
I salivate for a scintillating
Sexy sort of
Um girl
Showing something
Steamy
Sharing showers
Slip and slide
Sometimes she sits silent
Or screams shrilly
Say it
say my name
She seems sensuous, sexy
sorry
Salvage something sincerely sweet
Sucking, sexing, showing, sharing
She so sweetly sings
Sexy sort of
Um girl
Showing something
Steamy
Sharing showers
Slip and slide
Sometimes she sits silent
Or screams shrilly
Say it
say my name
She seems sensuous, sexy
sorry
Salvage something sincerely sweet
Sucking, sexing, showing, sharing
She so sweetly sings

Splendid
It's not your words
You've said it all before
Sometimes you look
Different
It's not your smile
But something in your eyes
Something in your shoulders
Something in my laugh
I really thought it would be different this time
I really thought it would be real
You've said it all before
Sometimes you look
Different
It's not your smile
But something in your eyes
Something in your shoulders
Something in my laugh
I really thought it would be different this time
I really thought it would be real

You didn't want much
A word is such a simple thing
So soft and sweet
So hard and unyielding
So cruel and vicious
You said love
And I fell for it
You said stay and I did
Put me on my best behavior
Acting strange
I gave you too much
You didn't want much
You wanted everything
And you took it
So soft and sweet
So hard and unyielding
So cruel and vicious
You said love
And I fell for it
You said stay and I did
Put me on my best behavior
Acting strange
I gave you too much
You didn't want much
You wanted everything
And you took it

Hell with you
I could break you with a sentence
You stand on shaky, hollow ground
The truth can kill
A heart can mend
But you'll never have me again
Pearlescent dreams
And muted screams
These are a few of your favorite things
Demons are only found in our own hearts and minds
We make our own hell
You make mine
You stand on shaky, hollow ground
The truth can kill
A heart can mend
But you'll never have me again
Pearlescent dreams
And muted screams
These are a few of your favorite things
Demons are only found in our own hearts and minds
We make our own hell
You make mine

Melodramatic midnight day dreams
Somnolence and splendor
You croon as you drape
yourself accross me
I day dream
Is it daydreaming at 2 AM?
I put your heart on the scales.
Weigh and try again
Take a peek at the wonder box
Trick, trip, fall asleep
Take a look at you
You sleep so sweetly
Sometimes I miss this
Sometimes I really do
You croon as you drape
yourself accross me
I day dream
Is it daydreaming at 2 AM?
I put your heart on the scales.
Weigh and try again
Take a peek at the wonder box
Trick, trip, fall asleep
Take a look at you
You sleep so sweetly
Sometimes I miss this
Sometimes I really do
