Which parts?
Do you save?
Do you discard?
Do you cremate?
A wonderful smile?
Verbal cruelty intended?
Sparkling eyes?
Seeking the soft underbellied
Which bits?
The loving nibble?
The tear into jugular gripping?
Death lock enacted puppetting
Draining the love blood seeping
Staining the carpet
Draining your soul
Letting the life
Slip away and go ...
"Doctor? ..."

"Nurse ... we'll have to cut it out"

Discombobulated
Disconnected from the thought
Of a Dream that I had
That Was you ...
I Deeply pondered
Floating on dandelion Streams
Wondering how it feels
To live out all your dreams
Delighted and well comforted
Prickly thoughts focus on
Prickly limbs
Focusing on one Step
Then Another
Damn it all to Hell
Nothing but a Shell
To fill with nothing Solid
Still Empty with no Other
Prefaced with Bullshit
Laced with Strychnine
Acidic words to entertain
Oh Fuck it ... here...

Irrelevant
When the ghosts un-ghost before your eyes and you can't reach them
Because they are still ghosted ...
Ghosting in plain sight with no evidence of might or right ...
Or even a postcard from the edge to jolt you back in time
When smiles were the fashion and love was also passion ...

Broken Bones
Broken bones mend
They knit back together
Making once again solid
That which was once torn asunder
To perfection?
To the unaided eyes maybe
Inside there are imperfections
Mending is definitely more than messy
The million microscopic fractures
That seek their own ends
Forming and melding
While some just don't mend
They remain hidden under the skin
Rarely to see the light of day
So go unheeded ... buried
Unless all subterfuge swept away
So when appraising a soul

Too Much Time Under The Bridge
There are more long nights without you
There are reams of dreams unfulfilled
There are more silent moments emptied of meaning
There are too many thoughts unevenly distilled ...
There are more mispelled days than not
There are more dropped thing days than not
There are more elusive sleep days than not
There are more days that need more patience than I've got ...
Without you ...

The Glue That Binds -The Solvent That Tears Us Apart
Love is the divine mystery that can't be reasoned with or figured out
It blossoms fully formed or grows over time slowly
It has it's own half-life and also lives forever
It pulls towards it's own ends and fills life fully
It fills cracks in us and breaks us apart
It comforts and kills
It soothes and regrets
It lives freely in us
It polarizes the very essence of all we are
Love is the drug
Love ... with or without
Love always finds a way
In time ...
Love ... .

Stagnant
Sometimes
the comings and goings blur
and as you gaze at the clouds
pristinely reflected on the pond
you realize:
“I’m the stagnant water”

The Only Game That Counts
Don't vomit your disease over me
Tuck it neatly in a an airsick bag and call the flight attendant please
No room for verbal mis-steps cueing anxieties doom
There is no patience for any subterfuge outside the womb
Place your hands upon your face
Hide the pain you feel a disgrace
Wash it clean and truly smile once more
Never needing to plead 'no more'
Too much
Too many
Too sick
Aplenty
See?
Now is the time we need all our humanity ...

Web Of Circumstance
Down in the valley of shadows lurks my withered soul
Cradled in moss and fungus left to rot under the black trees
Slowly disintegrating transforming back to energetic dust
Nearby a dulled key lays apart on a tri-color chain shedding rust
Lonely? Alone? Quarantined? Isolation? Singular?
Hidden in a world full of people unknowing
What adjective am I? Are you? What word describes your state?
(Mental? Physical? Relationship? Parental? Medical?)
What Pendant do you wear on your chest? Your forehead? Your soul?
Is it one word? Two? A...

A Poetic Self Portrait
A transistor radio born without knobs
struggling to find my station
dropped until finally broken, broadcasting
some depression era serial saga on loop
grinding its message into my brain,
I taste the dust in my mouth
The sandy grit of an emotional desert
files sharp my teeth, a body strengthened
through carrying the millstone of abandonment
and skin hardened by the childish words
of weak men and women that didn't stay
Gasping for air i gnaw myself free from the
garbage bag I'd been living in and set
myself upon...

A WILTING ROSE
I’ve never come to understand your rage
But, it seems to me you’re trapped in a cage
We all suffered the penalties under the same roof
We all bear our own scars that show the proof.
Some scars heal with the passing of time
But, yours remain in its original prime
Bitter and cold, you shut the world out
Every time you speak, you only shout
You built a wall and shut yourself in
Reasoning with you, no one can win.
I understand people build walls as a form of defense
But you are twenty-four hours in strict offense. ...
