Poet Introduction
I'm dreaming all of this, aren't I ?
Marry Go Round
We’re here again already Love
our marry go round is turning
Three laps so far my Dove
and I’m still only learning
We dance a circle around a star
our marry go round still turning
We’ve come so very very far
around this fire ever burning
Let us never stop these trips
our marry go round goes round
I’ll keep your name upon my lips
and hope that you enjoy the sound
Happy Anniversary Ann Marie.

Just Getting Started
Our anniversary is here,
and we’ve just scratched the surface.
It’s been another year,
And our love is still perfect.
I don’t deserve this,
this wonderful life,
or this beautiful woman
I have as my wife.
Find rest in this place,
only yours from the start,
this sacred space
that you’ve held in my heart.
After all that we’ve seen,
and all we’ve been through,
there’s one thing I need,
and that’s more time with you.

One down, the rest to go.
I’m finally and truly HAPPY.
Not sure who loved who FIRST.
We’ve come through a YEAR of trials.
You’ve broken every barrier in MY heart. You’ll always be my peacemaking DOVE.
Our first year has been shitty
for the whole world. Funny....
it's been amazing for me.
I love you Mrs Wilson.

Hind Sight
I wake from a colorful dream.
The sun is warm on my skin through our window.
It must be a beautiful day.
I feel my way to the kitchen
and fumble to find two cups.
I make a small mess preparing our coffee.
It smells amazing baby.
I wait for you at the table until I remember.
Today I must wear black.
A black suit for you, my love.
A suit that this sightless man cannot find without you.
After a lifetime without my eyes,
I have finally gone blind.

Full moon
She's leading me on purpose
Through these woods at night
She knows I won't lose her tracks
Her scent
An easy trail to follow
I see her there against a tree
Breasts heaving in the moonlight
Breathing hard from the chase
God that smell, sweet torment
I'll have its source in my arms
Without a word I lunge and grasp
Dragging her to the ground
When the shock passes
She giggles and struggles to no avail
I rip her dress free of her shoulders
Trace her collarbone with my tongue
Take her throat with my teeth
Drink in...

knock knock
I hear the knocks, the taps, and scratching
Of something in the darkness hatching
I listen to its rasps and hisses
With needle teeth and promised kisses
My door was shut and now its not
Reminding me of fear forgot
It's in my room now, it's in here with me
It's darker somehow, the black is shifty
I cover up and hold on tight
Oh my god I wish for light
Drawing near I hear it wheezing
Gripped with fear my tears are freezing
It's bearing down and closing in
Says I'm your friend, just let me in
Should I believe and loose my grip...

Mommy
She loved me
Always giving
I wanted it to last
Everyone is raping her
Taking and taking
Sticking needles in
She cries out
First in pain
And now anger
Ungrateful children
Abusive offspring
Fuse lighters
She'll live forever
She'll stop the pain
She'll kill the children
Always giving
I wanted it to last
Everyone is raping her
Taking and taking
Sticking needles in
She cries out
First in pain
And now anger
Ungrateful children
Abusive offspring
Fuse lighters
She'll live forever
She'll stop the pain
She'll kill the children

The Clock
Fast approaching,
on sixteen hooves.
Eight eyes fixed,
Intent, focused.
Three minutes,
Until midnight.

never die
Never let fade and never die.
Never let slip the wind.
Never fold wings and cease to fly.
Never let come the end.
Never let slip the wind.
Never fold wings and cease to fly.

f**k a title.
Racked with pain, I write this letter.
I've caught an illness with no cure.
Incredibly sick and I can't get better.
The deepest pit with a darkness pure.
Blinded by rage, I pen these verses.
Ten more stones upon my back.
Desperately biting back these curses.
All to real, the things I lack.
Numbed by sorrow, I jot this page.
Cut by love, used as a knife.
My circumstances form a cage.
Fight the urge to regret my life.
Gripped by loss, I type this line.
Deeper down, embrace the hate.
None to blame, the fault is...

create ME
Create ME
mold ME from fear and ignorance
you don't want to die
create ME
I will justify your war
make ME supreme
and I will give you service in my court
you want them controlled?
suppressed?
create ME
I will be all powerful
I will punish your enemies
I will punish you
create ME
and MY will will be your path
create Me
and I will create an evil to tempt you
create ME
and I will remove all proof of my existence
create ME
and I will demand faith and make you doubt
CREATE ME FROM NOTHING !!

Hope Is Real
Could any other strip my defenses away?
Has any other bothered to try?
Revere the one who makes me feel this way.
Is this what will drive others to cry?
Sunrise pales beside her today.
To spread wings with her and fly.
It is a fine reason for the steadfast to sway.
An opening in the black that bright lights belie.
Never again claim that patience won't pay.
Never again say that even stars die.
All is right , all is well, won the day.
! Even Icarus didn't get this high!
