See You In the Next Life
There was a time when I was
insouciant
the amount of fucks I gave
were counted in negative numbers
and I could internally quote my favourite comedian
“So what if you’re offended, nothing happens,
it’s not like you’re going to say
damn I was offended, I was hurt
and then I woke up with cancer”
and I’m sure there’s onlookers with a sense of
Schadenfraude at my inability
to swagger around with the big dick energy I took
for granted, thinking that because I could write
in a way that hits
I was bulletproof
because...

mirror of hidden reflections
hardest lesson I've had to learn
is the distance between a mistake
& growth
is owning it
most especially to one's self
even with nothing obvious to be gained
there are things far more important
than pride
& being right
because sometimes right is subjective
& the cost beyond reckoning
leaving chasms in the spirit
where honesty once resided
I don't fear being wrong
it's a frequent occurrence
but causing another harm...
it terrifies me
so I'm always watching
honing my inward eye ...

Four minutes out and all was well
Four minutes before I
ran out the door
chasing other dick
I was on your lap
listening to the way
my full name
rolled off your
southern lips
Three minutes before
I ran out the door
I said I wondered
what your neck
tasted like
and you said
"your pussy"
you called me a
twin flame
as we wrapped
around each other
like skin grafts
and later ....
I pulled
my torn stockings
from the floor
next to your bed
and...
ran out the door

It should have been you
I grew a landing strip
on my bald lady garden
because I wanted
a change
and I love the way
the smooth skin
feels next to a
tight little bundle
of dark curls in
a perfect porn star strip
you were right about
the way I felt
about
you
That time you
almost asked
That message that we
both knew would have
been a beginning
That wasn't in your head.
I was a chicken shit
for pulling away
but your arms felt
less dangerous ...

Purple Dreams
why did you choose silence between us
we shared more than our hurting souls
still feel your sweet spirit within my heart
sacred conversations known only to us
precious memories awakened in dreams
that I’m forever grateful still alive within me
our precious friendship I never thought
would ever be in my past as a memory
perhaps thoughts in my heart over spoke
apology I offer if my need of you in my life
was a burden cause I was stronger leaning
on a pure soul that leaned back on me
thank you for sharing...

Her
I remember when we met as kids.
And we still believed in incredible things.
Her smile,her laughter.
I could just drink it in.
And when it subsides,her laughter.
A beautiful smile bringing me in.
I remember when we became teens.
And we were no longer kids.
We started going on dates.
To movies,playing games.
We were just enjoying our lives.
As we let out content sighs.
But years later,a virus had spread.
And her emotions,all I could read was fear.
And maybe holding back a tear.

Waiting
I sit on the platform, alone in the dust,
Where the wind whispers secrets, and the earth turns to rust.
I chose this place, far from the crowd,
A ghost of a dream, where hope’s still loud.
We spoke of a future, a place to call ours,
But now it’s just silence, beneath the cold stars.
I build on this land, so barren and dry,
Where the echoes of “us” are the only reply.
I turn to the road, where nothing appears,
Just the empty horizon stretching for years.
The silence stretches like a noose around me,
A soldier lost, or perhaps...
Where the wind whispers secrets, and the earth turns to rust.
I chose this place, far from the crowd,
A ghost of a dream, where hope’s still loud.
We spoke of a future, a place to call ours,
But now it’s just silence, beneath the cold stars.
I build on this land, so barren and dry,
Where the echoes of “us” are the only reply.
I turn to the road, where nothing appears,
Just the empty horizon stretching for years.
The silence stretches like a noose around me,
A soldier lost, or perhaps...

(My Love)
If I made you feel
like just one of several
parentheses
in my life,
I am sorry,
full of remorse, apologies
& change
…
I wish you’d been the book!
…
(perhaps my heart
has been enclosed
these decades past
by your parentheses?)
Might we even yet
Build sentences & paragraphs
Pages & chapters
Live a book
Together?

Tell Me..?
I see you there, in the glass again,
Eyes like strangers, don’t know where you’ve been.
You don’t look at me; you just look through—
Who the hell am I talking to?
I try to smile, but it’s out of place,
You just stare with that same blank face.
Tell me, do you feel the way I do?
Like everything’s broken, and it’s all on you?
Tell me why you can’t love me.
Why you let the cracks run so deep.
Tell me why you hide your face,
Like you’re ashamed to take up space.
I’m begging you—just one time—
Look at me, maybe even...
Eyes like strangers, don’t know where you’ve been.
You don’t look at me; you just look through—
Who the hell am I talking to?
I try to smile, but it’s out of place,
You just stare with that same blank face.
Tell me, do you feel the way I do?
Like everything’s broken, and it’s all on you?
Tell me why you can’t love me.
Why you let the cracks run so deep.
Tell me why you hide your face,
Like you’re ashamed to take up space.
I’m begging you—just one time—
Look at me, maybe even...

King Of Broken Hearts
Pieces of my past lay decaying in my castle
All the Queens are gone or dead
What was going through my head?
I turned to Jack, to whom I asked
Should I try to get her back?
He looked to me and then he said
"A pair of hearts is not a full house"
I went down to the Ace of Clubs
To partake in a drink or two
Barkeep asked "What's the matter, you?"
I shot my shot of good ol' Jack
"Should I try to get her back?
The Queen of Diamonds is crying
And she's talking like she's dying"
What comes...
All the Queens are gone or dead

Regret
I really miss you
So much
I’m not sure
When or where or how
to let you know
Because no words
Or place or time
Can encapsulate
This feeling
I NEED you!
I need you
I need YOU
My greatest regret
is not Fighting
for YOU
I don’t think you knew
back when it mattered most
That you are my greatest Love
Please
Come to me
Meet me
Sometime
Somewhere
Someday
(maybe soon?)
If for nothing else,
Might we at least
Talk?

Overdue
Guilt enraptures skin
and flesh
till its bone
and blood.
Greedy fingers wanting
always wanting
never wrapping comfortably
around what they want.
Praise
a frivolous thing
handed to those
undeserving.
And I am one
who has not earned
what they desire
so deeply.
Claws rip deep
thoughts cut deeper
marrow mixing
yellow and red.
Snow and rain
sun changing them
yet do they
deserve to be changed?
and flesh
till its bone
and blood.
Greedy fingers wanting
always wanting
never wrapping comfortably
around what they want.
Praise
a frivolous thing
handed to those
undeserving.
And I am one
who has not earned
what they desire
so deeply.
Claws rip deep
thoughts cut deeper
marrow mixing
yellow and red.
Snow and rain
sun changing them
yet do they
deserve to be changed?
