Writing About Us
I dipped my fingers
Into the inkwell
Of my desire
And met you
Into the inkwell
Of my desire
And met you

Another stupid poem
I miss you
I wish you never left me
Sadness follows me
A new year, with the same old sorrows
Screw this!
I'm too old for this shit
My feelings and this poem were pathetic
I'm gonna blast some Deicide, cook some burgers and later on watch some Stallone, Schwarzenegger or Lundgren films
By tomorrow morning, she'll be a distant memory.

In The Hereafter
Write a better world with lovely words
Don’t listen to negative songs of sorrow
Empty souls will fall on wicked swords
Hope stirs in a wind that holds tomorrow
Listen to the voice inside this old heart
Still taking comfort in this familiar beat
Believing that our lives could imitate art
There is no surrender we won’t retreat
As long as breath fills these aging lungs
Beneath the tears remains bright laughter
Hate’s never uttered by creative tongues
Bringing about real change in the hereafter
...

Darkness vs Light
I do not believe there is only just light or just darkness in us
Please just sit still and listen without fuss
I believe in the duality, just wait and see
I will try my best to explain, in a moment or three
I will explain it in my own way
It will not be innocent in the way I convey
Darkness is cold, it has been said
I let the concept ruminate in my head
The light is warmth, it invites you in
Very deceptive, let me begin
Darkness is the sand that we walk upon
The light is the waves it rolls on
It pummels the sand...

... Table for One - Rebirth and Redux
I went into the restaurant
Requested a booth for one
I'll be here for awhile I said
Flipped the owner a $20
He set me up with a great table
My afternoon began with this write
Even in good company
The best days are a float
Weaving in and out of people traffic
I need dialog and can be open
Yet writing verse is my voice
Somber and reflective at twilight
Quiet and ominous at dusk
Keep the chemicals away from me
I've danced and twisted fate
Piecing myself back together again
Going it alone ...

dismal day don't be my friend
in sadness gloom I find myself
wishing in grief for a brighter tomorrow
where in I could redeem my soul
sacred dawn allow me this priviledge
to cast my lot with the fates
bringing my life to fruition
intution tells me not to follow the path of least resistance
but to blaze my own trail
through the valled of the dead
awakening to new horizons
my sorrow understood in artistic expression
to be an indelible mark on the souls I touch
reaching unto the immortal
in keeping with...

I TAKE YOU TO THE BRINK
I take you to the brink
reading spills of my ink.
that slowly warm your blood,
make you forget you're nudd.
Going through the playlist,
soon you will not resist
the offer of my arms,
letting me kiss your charms.
Then we will re-enact,
fiction will become fact,
when what I have described
within you is inscribed.
Then you will sure thank me
for satisfyingly
bringing my words to life
between husband and wife.

Outside of The Window
Here I am just looking out the window of my space, and wondering how did I get here to find this moment.. TO just analyze the deepness of the quietness of sounds, of nature through the 🪟 pane of the window. For sure as I look as far as my own eyes could see 👁️👁️. I appreciate the realness and opportunity to releaseing, that feeling of bliss and harmony. Away from the negativity and drama, and confusion and madness and chaos. 🤨 That has changed the atmosphere of life, and dreams and endless views of possibilities. For sure it's here and now, I can...

The Cycling Self
There is an
emptiness
that never
seems to…
empty…
itself
No matter
the groups
or therapies
encountered
to relieve
A pain
Always present
in some niggling
manner I loathe
because
I thought
I conquered it
Finding peace
in nature
and gratitude
amongst loved ones
can ease
the burden
of this…
Cross
BUT
It’s ever present
and always
carried
on my
Left
shoulder

She walks in beauty, like the night
Lord Byron famously wrote
I think I've done much better
With this pen and paper note.
" In her eyes yet not one star she is the whole night sky"

we are, you know...
we are more than poetry
more than our words
spread so elegantly...
...so carefully...
...across the page
consider them merely stains
...of tears
& bloodtrails...
showing the outline of our pain
but these sentiments are tempered
allowing only the briefest glimpse
miniscule peeks at the agony within
we are giants trapped inside thimbles
struggling & straining
...for more space
& these fragmented offerings shared
barely scratch the surface
of the vastness within
we are deeper...
