No Redemption
A lot of poets spend time and ink saying they're not poets
Well that's not me
2000 poems later I'm something
Redemption is a bear
I think about repentance
Then pour another drink
Flagrant foul, 2 shots and the ball

On ...Off ...Tell me Another...Cut the Crap !!
That's my new expression
Old school like me
No apologies
I'll run circles around your candy ass
Streaming replaced cable
Bigger and faster they claimed
Still clouds and freezes
Just more bullshit
On... Off I say
Freaks of nature
Guys wearing shorts in 40 degree NYC
Motorized bikes, scooters, skateboards
Riding on the sidewalks
Pedestrians be damned
Selfish isn’t a right of passage
Hold a door for your neighbor
On… Off I say
5000 channels
Ten ingredient flavored mayonnaise

Journey to the Stars
There are no more holes
to bury secrets.
Standing in the chasm between
body and spirit, I am unbroken.
Taking back my time, my being,
my every last piece that once was dismantled,
walking into a new life
here, or into another dimension
replete with love:
this is the measure of life.
Emerging in starlight as
dust to earth
heat to fire
breath to air
weightless to water.
My journey to the stars
may be long…
But it is healing.

weightless to water.
My journey to the stars

I Don’t Want Perfect Love
I get that from the universe
Or God
Or whatever it is out there
That’s greater than anything I could ever be
I want messy love
Crazy love
Sweaty love
And yes, even broken love
The kind of love that doesn’t fit perfectly
But feels perfect
The kind of love the has fuck ups
And make ups
The kind of love that has voices raised in passion
And voices silenced by the beating of our wild hearts
As we map out every inch of skin
While gazing into each other’s eyes
Learn me
As I learn you ...

That was my number
The story goes without saying
Absolutely Sweet Marie
To live outside the law you must be honest
Blonde on Blonde
Mr. Bob Dylan
Some say you’re dating yourself
I never let me down

A Lifetime in 12 Blinks
We blink once were in Pre-K
We blink twice 21st birthday
Third time marriage & career
Fourth time parents die, shed a tear
Fifth your at the age to retire
Sixth your ailing, always so tired
Seventh your spouse dies, sadness is deep
Eighth you live alone, hope to die in your sleep
Ninth you have visions of insanity
Tenth you curse your god with profanity
Eleventh remaining family surround your bed
Twelfth one last deep breath, now you are dead
When the Grim Reaper comes for all of us,
think of it as going to sleep...

Unconditonal Love
love I've found comes at an emotional cost
when your heart is open and honest it can be beautiful
no one is perfect however
and no one gets along together all of the time
storms will come and they will go
unconditional love surprises me
to be loved no matter what, a shock
earlier in life emotional price tags prove too costly, for my broken soul
be the perfect kid
or your debt is due
get out, we no longer love you
I still struggle today with insecurity
thinking you will only love me if I remain beautiful to look at ...

Exploring
During the night
I travel my dreams
Within my dreams
I search for my soul
Whilst exploring my soul
I experience reality
From reality
To realness
Through dissecting my mind
I sense my body
Interacting with body
Brings me to life
In life we live our dreams
If we’re so lucky
Or if we so choose
By our choosing
We make conscious decisions
Within decisions
Lies a whole world
Lest we stop exploring
Lest we forget whence we came from
The who, what, when,...

Starting Point
I was basically mute for the first year of school.
I still remember the look on my teacher's face when I said the ONLY thing I ever said to her.
I said her name, "Mrs. Lyte", her face lit up because she was excited, but I got scared and went back to not talking.
I was an obedient and scared child.
I was terrified to get answers wrong because I wanted teachers to like me.
I was terrified if they were ever mad, even if not at me.
My mom and her boyfriend kept us (my brother and me) locked in our small room until I was...

Love > Fear
And what, please tell me, is actually important?
A tangible task would make me
much
more
comfortable.
Is it
to know the names of the birds on my morning walk,
notice the springing up of crocuses
(purple hope in a season of mud)
and to rejoice in the sunrise on my face?
After all,
I am an insignificant speck –
surely this is all that can be expected of me
as I drift, unattached,
through my brief moment in the universe.
live, laugh, love….

Disdain for you my sweet
Wretched but beautiful
My eyes see you but I look away
Throw yourself into a den of lions
I'll bring the popcorn and goobers
Will they eat you or spit you out
Your flesh is bitter and diseased
To much negativity and malignancy
How can one walk around with such a tainted soul?
Bless yourself in my river of urine
That's what I think of you anyway
Take it, accept it
That's all your worth
Go home and drown yourself in your bottomless, endless self pity
Have a great weekend
My eyes see you but I look away
Throw yourself into a den of lions
I'll bring the popcorn and goobers
Will they eat you or spit you out
Your flesh is bitter and diseased
To much negativity and malignancy

Bless yourself in my river of urine
That's what I think of you anyway
Take it, accept it
That's all your worth
Go home and drown yourself in your bottomless, endless self pity
