Faustian City Blues
Faustian City Blues
The neon dancers are framed
In the purple glow of harlequins
In the court of autumn kings
Sitting on barstool thrones
Whose greying crowns
Are the color of pigeons perched on powerlines
Like angels gazing down ruefully
From smoky bourbon eyes
When even ghosts of the Storyville Night
Cry under sheets stained in the salty brine
Of love gone wrong on a Faustian mattress
For the rose of yesteryear
The neon dancers are framed
In the purple glow of harlequins
In the court of autumn kings
Sitting on barstool thrones
Whose greying crowns
Are the color of pigeons perched on powerlines
Like angels gazing down ruefully
From smoky bourbon eyes
When even ghosts of the Storyville Night
Cry under sheets stained in the salty brine
Of love gone wrong on a Faustian mattress
For the rose of yesteryear

my cuticles are fine, thanks
didn’t know what a nail bar
was until I went into one
looking for a pint

The Pond Life MafIa
Ive always wondered
How anyone, or thing
Could be
"Pissed as a newt!"
Does this suggest
As i may digress
That newts
Have an alcohol problem?
Presumably reknowned
For getting inebriated!
Although "pissed" in other countries
Refers to being angry
Which is more disconcerting
As i now live in fear
Of gangs of angry intoxicated newts
Wandering the streets
Both pissed off, and pissed
Like pondlife mafia!

Limbo
I cannot live without you;
there would not be enough left of me to function.
But as your nemesis takes you from me, piece by piece,
I cannot live with you.

I wonder
Will the government finally give credit to,
The drug they try so hard to hate?
The only thing that gave me happiness,
When they took my kid away.
Will the government finally realize,
That when you isolate,
There is no one to give credit to,
Except the drugs they dearly hate.
Now that I'm doing better,
And friends don't make play dates,
Will the government care for my daughter,
And fully compensate?
The drug they try so hard to hate?
The only thing that gave me happiness,
When they took my kid away.
Will the government finally realize,
That when you isolate,
There is no one to give credit to,
Except the drugs they dearly hate.
Now that I'm doing better,
And friends don't make play dates,
Will the government care for my daughter,
And fully compensate?

Oh, No! How Am I Going To Explain This To Jim?
Keith
woke up
hungover
and with some chick
naked and sleeping
next to him. After he
threw up in the bathroom, Keith
started getting dressed before he
took one look at the chick and noticed
that it was Jim's future bride Tiffani.

It's Funny
It's funny
I have cider, and red wine
Both collecting dust
But whenever i have mead in the house
Drink it i Must!
It's funny
I don't like honey
In drinks, or on toast
I love it in a pewter goblet
Or a glass at most
It's funny
That i love smoking weed
When drinking mead
That they happen to rhyme
Is a little sublime
It's funny
I imagine a dinosaur
Would find me quite a delight
Full basted in herbs, and honey
I'm sure i'd make a delicious bite!
It's funny
You see ...

Little Details (All 3 Poems)
Little Details ( Full Poem, 3 in one)
It was always in those little details
but in my dreams I always failed
to imagine a cloudy romance
I was always smashed by the hail.
I'm drinking away to death's slumber,
and will die as a new born wonders,
I couldn't swim so its time to bail
this life of ugliness and its blunders
I wish you were the kindly breathe,
to set forward my little boat's sail
Alas, I am cursed and time for death ...

Alas, I am cursed and time for death ...

Broken soul
Exiled into darkness
Imprisoned inside myself
Hollow heart where
No light is left
I guess it's for the best
I'm not giving up, I'm giving in
Now it's time to retreat
To the devil that lies within
Watch myself decay
With noone to save me now
No more rules or laws
No more breaking useless vows
I'll just slip quietly away
Noone to notice or care
A broken soul
Lying withered and bare
Imprisoned inside myself
Hollow heart where
No light is left
I guess it's for the best
I'm not giving up, I'm giving in
Now it's time to retreat
To the devil that lies within
Watch myself decay
With noone to save me now
No more rules or laws
No more breaking useless vows
I'll just slip quietly away
Noone to notice or care
A broken soul
Lying withered and bare

blood and ink/monster and poet 2
don't pretend
pretty words could wash the blood
from your hands
like they could erase the rage
and the moments you chose violence
to feel somethin
to prove that
you weren't fuckin empty
yes…there are echos here
where anger sometimes lives
but…
shut up…
how bout the mirror
that you shattered
just to feel the sting
of broken glass
how bout the way
you'd scream into pillows
tryin to drown out
the sounds in your head
how bout the ways
you would beg darkness
to swallow you ...

As A Result Of Attending Wyatt's Bash
On one Sunday, Kim
woke up and discovered that
she was naked and
hungover as a result
of attending Wyatt's bash.

Pastor Harry
Pastor Harry has had a little too much to drink
A couple of forties and now it's kind of hard to think
He jumps up behind the wheel and hits the gas
Little do the kiddies know: he's drunk off his ass
He sways and swerves and goes into the other lane
The other drivers are shouting "What the fuck? are you insane?"
He flicks them off and vomits on the windshield
Everybody on this motherfucking bus might get killed
Pastor Harry drives the motherfucking school bus
He doesn't let all the kids yell or cuss
This asshole is drinking...
