Small planets
Beyond the window
fat snow flakes are falling
through barren pin oaks
As squirrels burrowed in dusk
I nest myself in poetry—
but, unlike squirrels
I shan't sleep. . .

"Gotta go"
It's been a hell of a day, as now we admire the night
The mood is perfect and just right
Embracing me so tight
Your already in deep sleep, I see you in the twinkling star sky
On top of my sleeping arm, I start to feel the tingling inside
She got me about to loose control, as goosebumps start to arise
The liquid in my body is probably ready to start taking a hike
Rethinking of her silky, smooth and beautiful skin, got me wanting my girl back in the bathroom, drinking her bath water all over again.....
BUT HOLD UP!!!!! ...

Thank you!
I have been writing poetry
And for the paper; cutting down trees
On this site, in just two weeks
It'll be a year! That's sleek!
And when you sit down and read
It fills me with undue glee!
You think that I'm helping you,
But you are all just helping me!
<3

Why Don't You Cry...
(…and Write a Poem About It)
Not to make myself seem a little too sensitive
or at least delicate in certain matters of
a couples playful banter but
my wife likes to play a little rough from time to time
and when I lightheartedly say “hey you’re hurting me”
she aptly replies “Why don’t you cry and write a poem about it.”
Now, I’m usually looking for inspiration for my next piece
but sometimes my muse flicks a little too hard
in those “sensitive” spots and that when I retract just a bit.
I’ll pout jokingly and that’s when she says ...

by design
because the poem
summoned me—
dictated my being
through (syn)tactical meaning;
what I mean is—
I am here, stationed
for poetry
I am not a socialite
or the next internet notch
on a headboard, belt
tattooed chest—
I am not a counselor
advice columnist
gossip-monger
politician, nor expert
in anything—
not even the poem
because it's in control—
not me, and can make you believe
you're the only poet worthy;
it can desert you, royally ...

Too Soon Yet Too Late
Describing its arc in words I had read,
A cavalier speaker my fate.
In a cryptic tongue of semaphore shed,
You’re leaving too soon yet too late.
What happened to me before I could feel
Came sooner by the heart to rout.
But what happened to you didn’t seem real,
Was too late for me to find out.
I don’t understand how some treat a soul
The way thoughtless ones did to you.
Your poet’s innocence they freely stole,
To take control but had no clue.
It looks very soon I’ll be where you won’t,
A graveyard...
A cavalier speaker my fate.
In a cryptic tongue of semaphore shed,
You’re leaving too soon yet too late.
What happened to me before I could feel
Came sooner by the heart to rout.
But what happened to you didn’t seem real,
Was too late for me to find out.
I don’t understand how some treat a soul
The way thoughtless ones did to you.
Your poet’s innocence they freely stole,
To take control but had no clue.
It looks very soon I’ll be where you won’t,
A graveyard...

A phrase (repost)
It starts with a phrase
emerging from nowhere
after lying dormant in the haze
in my head
in an instant
so don't be hesitant,
there's no time to wonder why or how
it's quick to slip away.
Once it appears
I proceed to snatch it up
but first I provide fuel for the flow
indeed
with this regularly
eye widening and reddening weed smoke I'm about to blow up out and into
the air..
Starting from scratch,
gliding on the glory of that godsent,
golden stream of syllabic gymnastics.

three weeks today
if someone had told me
twenty years ago
that my mom
and I
would find peace
with each other
i most likely would have
laughed at the idea
turns out out of
everyone i knew and loved
she was, became my rock
during the hardest
most difficult
literally going through hell
moments
growing up in her
dark shadow
was really hard
and i did everything
in my power
to escape from it
i learned early on
trying to fix it
or make it better
or confront it

Stagnation
Manic in the moments
when I can't make up my mind
or figure out what the fuck to do.
Stuck in stagnation,
imagination hindered,
hard to stay immersed in what
usually interests me
maybe I just need a break
from trying to create and absorb shit
feeling like something must always
be written or read
and sometimes shit gets forced
or nothing gets done at all
and I sit there stuck..
Waiting for everything and nothing
perhaps a lil break is necessary
to reflect and recollect
and learn to not expect ...
