Whoopsie-Daisy - with journeychase
in my whoopsie-daisy of the fallen
the feral arrogance of the rose
with words sharper than thorns
where bastard weeds grow
in the diary of my soul
as old fools troll
MY REPLY
beneath the dreaded surface
lay broken the words
that were once beautiful lies
oh, what sinful secrets
your soul bares
for me only to trust
what stains your sweet lips
the feral arrogance of the rose
with words sharper than thorns
where bastard weeds grow
in the diary of my soul
as old fools troll

Milkman's Delivery
The Milkman truck
had a few bullet holes
in it from a jealous
husband who caught
The Milkman porking
His wife in every
sexual position while
inventing new ones
She was enjoying
herself while saying
Sweet Mercy
While the Milkman
was enjoying his
his golden nectar
While his Johnson
was filling her
Kitty up to the core

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...

My Monster
When the dark hours rang,
I remained inside,
Locked away from the danger,
Breathing behind doors,
As my parents had warned
To be safe,
Embraced in my blanket, I slept.
While claws crept from beneath the bed,
Where my monster hid,
The one my parents had left,
To rest at ease.
I lay engulfed in my sheets,
Waiting for the promised tricks,
That carved out my nightmares.

a traitor to whom?
who knew which side he was on, an accepted figure in MI5 and the KGB who could see both points of view, and knew he was lucky to still be alive

Breaking Confidence
Breaking Confidence
I trusted in an old friend in some casual conversation
Understanding certain things are said in confidence
When I say “entre nous” I really mean it stays between us
It should be a pact to be honored with vigilance
And when I heard my words being echoed months later
From a different person and from a different city
I put the pieces to that puzzle when I made the connection
I felt betrayed and I all thought was “what a pity”
I felt hurt that the very thing I didn’t want to be divulged
Ran through the ears of...

Love holes
When love set eyes on me
I went blind and "fell" in love

apathy
what is there
left?
the sound of water dripping
into the empty universe of a
metal sink
watching the walls crawl
like a thousand
chattering
spiders
listening to the ceiling
reciting Chekhov
or the terrified screams
of some poor creature
being set ablaze in the
echoing distance
your eyes,
gone
your hair,
gone
your body
gone
us,
gone

To Be Wanted
To Be Wanted
No one wants
to be
the consolation prize,
not to be
the one
in her eyes,
not to have
that central
core space,
the reason
the moonlight
wakes up on her face.
The boxes
she keeps
in her underwear drawer
are filled
with the letters
of dreams of still more.
And every sad look
of having
just settled
reminds
of fourth place,
not even medaled.

The Storm Within
what can she say when a storm within
the depths of her heart had started to grow
the cold touches of betrayal begin to descent
in her complacency and trust so sure
the twenty years of togetherness
gone in a minute like a train crash
nothing seemed to make sense
gone now the security just love unsure
hubby dear so handsome so faithful
had tasted the forbidden fruit of outside love
embraced the lovemaking on a strange bed
tasted the ambrosia and varieties of excitement
now he chose to stray and play hard ...

Pacman; Ghosts of the past
Haven't the ghosts driven you crazy yet?
Their attitude is not encouraging
Life after life, is it the same as before?
So what is this zeal for? ...
Fighting ghosts, even after death,
Break on a visit, chase and break bones with
ethereal jaws, worn out mouths
On a completely virtual firmament
They feed on lives, and only live on that
You get stronger, but only for a while
You change roles, but again a blow to your crown
And even the end of the game is not the end,
the Credits lie
Always wandering...
