The Joke
We're all supposed to be
Perfectly fuckable,
And loveable,
Pretty and presentable,
Mature and responsible,
Rich and reliable-
That's laughable.

Me; Boxer
I'm ashamed to have the thoughts I have,
I fight my inclinations
Bruised and beaten, I don't stay down;
Why can't I just surrender?
The ring is closing in on me,
Robot me will knock me out.
I cannot stay down;
I cannot surrender.
I fight my inclinations
Bruised and beaten, I don't stay down;
Why can't I just surrender?
The ring is closing in on me,
Robot me will knock me out.
I cannot stay down;
I cannot surrender.

Burnt
Addicted to the thrill,
Newness and unknown,
Alive, awake, my being screams,
Until there's nothing left,
But ashes.

What if?
What if...
Jesus' death meant more
Than just knowing His name?
What if following Him meant treating
EVERYONE the same?
What if loving your neighbor means
Loving those with whom you disagree
At least as much as you love to give
That canned good every Christmas Eve.
What if Jesus knows
More than He chose
To reveal in the old Good Book?
What if you believed what you do,
With a little room for God, to
Show His love is bigger than you?
What if Jesus chose
To cleanse the souls of those
Who choose to trust His name;
Also those...

Chief David Brown
I don't know you,
You don't know me; yet
You are my brother.
I am your mother.
I cry for you,
I look away; after all,
I don't know you,
You don't know me.
You don't know me; yet
You are my brother.
I am your mother.
I cry for you,
I look away; after all,
I don't know you,
You don't know me.

Ironic
People don't like ambiguity;
Being human is ambiguous.

Husband
I need you
To care for me,
To protect me,
To parent with me,
To grow old with me,
To share your day with me,
To listen to me,
To love me;
But that includes my inclination
To want,
A little,
More.

My Life
I need to clean
My house,
Fold the laundry,
Put another load in,
Burn the toys,
Torch the projects-
I love their inventions,
They're amazing,
I need them to go away!
The stuff is taking me over!
HELP!
Dishes, blankets, stuffties, artwork,
Dogs stink,
Gotta clean the bathroom sink!
Spray Fabreeze,
Sweep,
Vacuum,
Ahhhhh!
I sit here,
Writing instead,
Still have hours...
Gotta break away,
To start my chores.

No Thank You
Fuck you God.
You make my soul need change like I need air;
Then you put me in this molded world.
Some kinda love,
You're hilarious.
Fuck you!
I don't accept that as love.
No thank you.

My Apology
Let me go,
I'm sorry.
I love you,
Although not as much as I love myself.
I try,
I try to love you more.
And I do,
Most of the time.
Alas, it only takes one moment of loving myself more
To ruin everything (for you).
I'm sorry.

Cop-Out Artist
Fuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!
Is this what poetry is?
Is it a song without music?
Words meaning something to someone,
Maybe you understand, surely not all,
Greatness is subjective?
What makes it real?
How is it critiqued?
What makes it good?
Why is it bad?
Grammatically or Lyrically higher?
Which is greater?
Fuck you! This is the artist I am.

Affair?
I want you to fuck me,
I need you to fuck me
Sometimes,
Most times,
All times.
Everyday,
Different ways.
Why don't you understand this?
I need you to understand!
I need someone to understand!
Please someone understand!
Someone understands,
For a moment.
Usually.
What magic I can picture
If you could be the one
Who knows me now,
Who's moments move with mine,
Who will always know me.
