C'est la vie
Forgiveness is trite
when scars become currency
upon which you trade
when scars become currency
upon which you trade

Mile Marker 203
Going down I-10 swerving in my suburban
Shit on my mind got me worrying,
“What for, just pushed my baby mama out the passenger door
And my speedometer reads ninety-four,
“Somewhere near the exit of Tallahassee
Forevermore that bitch don’t mean shit to me,
“She had twins, by my bestfriend
That’s why the cheating ho’ is in the highway wind,
“Looking in my rear view I see her roll in a ditch
Avoiding being semi-hit, lucky ass bitch,
“I guess I keep going its only 160 miles to Jacksonville
And go to my granny’s house to eat...

Saltwater Flowers
I'm eyeing a blinding horizon
Walking on saltwater diamonds
They draw blood with each step I take
Life never promises any breaks
You really tried hard to pull me down
Reaching for my ankles hoping I'd drown
From an ocean filled with meth
I learned to walk on water
You flunked addiction's test
I'm going it alone
Surviving the aftermath
Just me and my tired bones
Cleansed in a sunbath
Let it storm let it bang
Let it try to steal my breath
Cause I've finally woke up
I'll never be the same again ...

I miss missing you
and so you could disappear
for a certain time
and so you could disappear
for a certain time

You do not Have to worry
You do not have to worry
About me any more
You have no idea of what you're writing
When you're adding up the score
You have no idea of who I am
And care so even less
I am more than over you
And have nothing to confess
You don't own the English language
None of the words are now your own
If you treat others, as you have me
You will find youself alone
This is all the time, I'll waste on you
I'm surprised I went this far
I will not mention any names
I know, you know, just who you are
About me any more
You have no idea of what you're writing
When you're adding up the score
You have no idea of who I am
And care so even less
I am more than over you
And have nothing to confess
You don't own the English language
None of the words are now your own
If you treat others, as you have me
You will find youself alone
This is all the time, I'll waste on you
I'm surprised I went this far
I will not mention any names
I know, you know, just who you are

Story Poem, Nr.24 — Dogged Grace
Aunt Mabel visited one day
and managed in her usual way
to skewer all the homely chat
by bringing her obnoxious cat,
a spoilt beast as one may guess
and here’s the story to confess:
The family time was Sunday lunch
a pleasantry, but here’s the crunch
for when it came to clear the table
watch the actions by Aunt Mabel
deftly as the scraps go round
with scrappy-scrapy type of sound
the plates on reaching table’s end …
she grabs them quickly to defend
the tasty morsels for her...

It Used To Be More Than 3
1.
“I know that if I let you be with me, I will hurt you”
you already hurt me
can’t you see my bruises?
2.
I gave you all of me
And I think that was my first mistake
3.
“I don’t give up on things”
Oh, but you do…
You gave up on me
“I know that if I let you be with me, I will hurt you”
you already hurt me
can’t you see my bruises?
2.
I gave you all of me
And I think that was my first mistake
3.
“I don’t give up on things”
Oh, but you do…
You gave up on me

I don’t want to move on
don’t want to move on, since moving on means nearer to death and I’d rather look back than ahead, thanks very much, he said

Love your YouTuber as you love yourself
.. ... ...
There is nothing left behind me
And I run straight toward an unknown goal
I am lying on the floor wearing a sleeping eye mask
I seem to be on a high-speed train
I am no longer a human being
I love my YouTuber as I love myself
I am doing well... I won't stop obeying this truth
But even those who sleep like angels are being raised
Because content-creators often need sleeping partners
Providing some of the capital for a business
Without taking an active part in managing it
So love your YouTuber as you...

Seeking Forgiveness From Carmen
Seeking Forgiveness From Carmen
Carmen the waitress says, “Are you bored with this side of town? I bet there are a lot of great attractions around the college town where you are going?”
“The reason I am moving is that the house needs a lot of repairs.”
“You told me that.”
Drawn by Auld Lang Syne my city wheels roll in clouds of time.
The weathered facades of a wooden portrait of the once-grand restaurant broke my heart. The candlelit room where I dined on my last supper with her had retreated to the size of a small tea...

IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON
Just those few little words, keep on staying there as it holds so much, more meaning than you or I think 🤔 Let's stop and listen and look at the deepness, that still exists in our hearts and minds. Have you ever ask thyself. When things come up and you begin to doubt what you really want and need in your life. For you have to be able to see and feel some kind of way overtime. So why do you think that way, is it things have changed and you feel differently. So why do you keep on staying there, if you are not feeling nothing, like the real honesty and truth and trust. For we've all...

i don't think of you as gone
when i press
bare feet
into blades
of grass
under your
burning
smile
when i'm
wide awake
underneath
night skies
spilling out
stars from
your belly,
i don't think of you as gone
just a gap
my palms
never had
a chance
to fill
somewhere
in another life
we'll meet
hand in hand
starting over
again,
until
then
i'll rise up
inhaling air
alone;
like i was
born to
do.
