Poet Introduction
I think out loud. Scribble a few words. These scribblings are my journal.
Hook, Line and Sinker

Hook, Line and Sinker
Another day
Another dollar
Another dragon to slay-but look, I say:
I'm captain
I'm Hook
I'm crook......
Another werewolf to collar
Another shepherd to follow
Another sheep; I idola
- tertiary was known
- as the colors, that cover
Then-off-to - canvas and catch
Then-off-to - mix and to match
And though none made it right;
Despite the white - it just cracked
I never knew them as: black
I never leadered - the packs
Indeed, in-truth: I am...

Shopping Spree
8.27.13
Shopping Spree
You might not want a bull in your china shop
So one is given pause to think
To consider that running roughshod (it's so hard) might bring one to the brink
You then might ask - what's a poor girl to do
Gotchu all sweaty and stinkin
Pink violets - no shrinking
I'm horny, come on me, unleash me
I'm bullish, no bullshit, stew women (some shrewish)
You need to - come through this, 'til stupid
My length spews pearl nooses
Some swallow, some juice it
On your block, shoots like...

The Preacher's Wife

The Preacher's Wife
Go ahead
Preach on
about
how
it hurts
Use
the good book
of
your mouth;
go south
spit dirt
to teach us - church
Looking
now
As though somehow
with puffed out chest
you - pounding proud
then standing first
keep slinging earth
with well-dressed lips
covered in smirks
To light your lies
for those who buy
Whom
you would tell
to make me wrong
Direct, so well...

Thanking Iago

Thanking Iago
Still
with well after 10 years
that I suffer you
with a passion greater than the love Paris had
for the calamity that was Helen
There's no drama
done with tragic
You can have it
Blood, like rain
the pain and rage
become
standard
I am
as
Iago
My heart
of bull ships
campaigning
'til plaintiffs embargo'd
mock 'sorrow'
Minus the simple
Sought sanctions

Heir to Air Missle

Heir to Air Missle
Got it
We're clear
And there's never been a burning need
or concern for me to
get my learn 'on'
get a grip
or understand anything other than:
I am
nothing
in this world
Not seeking redemption
clarity
intervention
or burly biblicized detention
but I can tell you this:
I will not be dictated to
Not by you
your brood
dame
in shade
or by any means - rude

Father Figures

Father Figures
Overheard
Or just
over
here
the words
"What size are you"
"I'm 28"
Oh yeah?
Great
I'll match your 20
raise you 8
and both of you can come
to see
the error of your ways
Stupid
little hood pussy
Come here
tilt your head back
that I may scrape
open-ended
debates
No need to lose
no need to wait
I got bruising on repeat
for today...

Bitch Beach
5.26.12
Bitch Beach
Through the deranged creations of my youth
With sullen strangeness was I suit
When sleep was balm to the fears that creep
Blackness stalks
Call up faults
Anger breeds - stutters, halts
The calm I bleed with bitter frost
I had no proof of wandering shoots
Tell me - do cats dance on hot tin roofs
Dark of the moon and blackened by suns
Solar eclipses when it unstrapped and swung
Sand was strain of man in pain
Dust from palms-heads hang in shame
Hearts go hard encased...

Frankie Goes To Hollywood
Today
I am not
the bigger man
Not for nothing
I'm tired of talking
Shit goes down
I'm always walking
Eyes - you bat
Your smile: intact
Uttered lies
Despised;
attacks
Breeding brief
with explanations
living hatred
enslaves plantations
Expletives
No grace to give
Collect my condensc-ation
I'm not landmark
I'm not training
I'm not generous
I'm not blameless

Men Can't Raise Children

Men Can't Raise Children
Men
Can't raise children
They only get
what "exes" leave them
Don't believe me:
Try to speak
Then
watch the bleeding
Reason
slithered
now receeding
What came
with stork
is dragged
through court
Drowning
pain of pride
with port
Do not
mistake it
The wolf
is shaven
Birdys bitched
though money-basted
Who both had choice
to sink in moist ...

Daddys, Daughters and Deals
Lit up on my skin
like Christmas
To forgive shit again
would be Christian
But I'm no saint
Inner trappings
Blood like paint
and I'm no baptist
Bruise 'til feint
got scars like ink
'cause
you're an actress
Fuck forgiving
and its charges
Same ole scribbles
of the lawyers
Fuck support
Fuck your courts
Fuck your causes
Still a man
through your demanding
Think me swine

My Marvin
November 29, 2012
My Marvin
Baby, baby - oh baby, my baby
There's nothing like when I'm in the throes of my marvin
My marvin that stings and pines
Jungle man, hung and stands
Vines, streets, sweets, sweat and signs
Marvin that sweeps like brooms off your feet
That croons, makes you swoon
And has you back spillin' all over me and my everlasting love when we spoon
Do you get me
Do you get me when I want to get at you
When I'm hot for you
Hard for you
When my parts issue pardons when my heart is attacked and...

Blue Bishop
1.3.12
Blue Bishop
In nights of chance I do the dance
and hook with rooks as I quest for queens
To think, then drink, to blurry trance
and then perchance to dream of things
Mistook by less than fans
I follow stars for hope romance
but damn
I can't
Solid stance to solid state
I belch up stress back on my plate
and pick through parts that don't relate
Too late to move from check to mate
I reach for queens when questing creeds
and crest for falcons as flying steeds
But - I seem to...
