Have You Seen My Wife ? - a true story
Have you seen my wife?
the creaking floors, the hollow walls,
the garden where he planted beer cans
that bloom without joy.
She was the spark in his life once,
or so he thought
a face a caramel tart,
a voice like honey,
a promise dressed in silk.
But promises break,
don’t they?
Their house became a carnival,
not of laughter but of strangers.
Friends from overseas filled the guest rooms,
toasting her beauty,
praising the home he built.
Their cheers drowned the whispers
he refused...

Bathroom Church
The reason I don’t go to church, because it’s full of shit
Honestly, a real man can recognize a sucka-ass pimp,
“Twisting the message of the Bible into his own word play
Seasoning the congregation for Hell every motherfuckin Sunday,
“Bible study Wednesday, fish fry Friday
Don’t come knocking on my door to preach that shit no day,
“I might be watching my Hellraiser marathon or trying to fuck
I will answer the door asshole naked and ask ‘what’s up?’
“Straight from the visual they will know shit ain’t right
And it...

Another World Away
As April's fingers curled around the stem of her wine glass, a delicate dance of trepidation raced in her mind. The rich red liquid swirled, catching the light, and with each gentle sip, she felt the warmth of the wine spread through her, like a secret being whispered from her lips down to her core.
April was short, no more than 5-feet with dark shoulder-length hair parted to one side. She wore black-rimmed glasses that seemed a size too large for her face. Her face was clear and pale with hardly any makeup. She wore a full-sleeved knee-length dress that made her look like a...

snake
inwardly ring a bell
shake and bake baby
time to stand not crawl
woman you got gall
I've been watching you move in the atmosphere
tremble inside I'm aware of what you disguise
hidden needs you're holding out
my demons are smitten with you
what did you do, start, a union for them?
they say they don't like to torture
you're getting ridiculous
you set your royal guard free
now we have a rebellion going
there is a hierarchy
you have been fooled honey they are brutal
only to the ones, you order them to be cruel...

Estranged
so.... Catch me up on your conspiracy
Tell me why lately I'm left out
I hope you didn't "let her think"
That she is what we're so mad about
I heard how you cut her hair tonight
Now suddenly it's an awkward time
As I recall last night wasn't good either
and this isn't by your design
so.... Catch me up on your conspiracy
and tell me why lately she's been coached
She seems distracted when we do talk
inconsolable when I approach
Why use our daughter to reign me in
then you'll bitch when it doesn't work as planned ...

My Final Words...To You
To you my love,
By the time you read this letter, I will be passed on
Please don't cry.
I know how much you loved me & I loved you.
The pressure from my wife and "The Boss" was getting the best of me.
I know she was going to find out everything about me and all of my secrets.
I owed "The Boss" over $30,000.00
He was out to kill me.
It was either me serving prison time, or being beat and murdered by him or me committing suicide.
Obviously I went with the latter.
No one can or will trace me to you.
No one knew...

Passing Fancy
Such a petty argument and now I can’t see your face
With your back turned our bed is now filled with freezing time and space
another morning with this shit and the beef is still rolling strong
Emotionally pacifying thought, approached, and applied all wrong
Frustrated with our results preparations made, and bills have to be paid
I know every aspect of you from the backside although we have never laid
Ever contour of your body even stretched monthly to the max
Your hair has covered me also as it flowed about like wax
But I have our...

Extended Family Betrayal
In the quiet desert of One Street Town,
The marshal returns, his expression worn down.
His star badge shines in the dimming light,
As he heads home to escape the night.
But under his roof, a twist unfolds,
Where secrets and betrayals quietly mould.
Through a window's view, a scene so stark,
His ex-wife's son kisses his wife's daughter in the dark.
Rage ignites like wildfire, fierce and wild,
He storms inside, a storm unbridled.
Voices clash, sharp as thunder's roar,
Words of anger pierce through the core.
His hand...
The marshal returns, his expression worn down.
His star badge shines in the dimming light,
As he heads home to escape the night.
But under his roof, a twist unfolds,
Where secrets and betrayals quietly mould.
Through a window's view, a scene so stark,
His ex-wife's son kisses his wife's daughter in the dark.
Rage ignites like wildfire, fierce and wild,
He storms inside, a storm unbridled.
Voices clash, sharp as thunder's roar,
Words of anger pierce through the core.
His hand...

I Wish I Didn't Know
"Don't come home"
She was spying on the plane,
in the seat next to you.
Accidentally reading
is not a moral crime,
but it wasn't an accident that day.
As your heart was breaking,
she was filling her head
with visions of her and you.
She watched as you texted your daughter back.
A child's attempt to smooth things
between her parents.
Clearly she wanted you to know
how great of a dad you were,

Withdrawn
You said you love me but i know it's a lie
How can you say you love me and then make me cry?
Lately you don't have time, we're barely even speaking
Going out at night creeping
Calling out his name while you're sleeping
I pretend I don't hear cuz i don't want to believe
Dont want to start a fight cuz I don't want you to leave
I gave my heart to you girl, what more could you want?
Then I saw you out with him at our favorite restaurant
Come through the door and have the nerve to kiss me nonchalant
You're already...
