The Divorce
When it happened, I was very angry and I was also stunned.
My wife filed for a divorce just because Donald Trump won.
My wife is smart, sophisticated and she's also very pretty.
But I learned that she's also superficial, shallow and petty.
My mother always told me to appreciate what I've got.
But if you're wondering if I still appreciate my wife, I sure as hell do not.
When she broke my heart, she didn't even feel remorse.
After seventeen years of marriage, she filed for a divorce.
I begged her not to leave but she packed her bags and walked out the...

Last word
As I take pen in hand
To write but one final verse
I stop to read your text
Examine your photos
The love begins to poor
From my eyes as rain
My hands begin to shake
Knowing this is but a farewell
It becomes hard to breathe
Catching my breath
Becoming impossible to breathe
Empty time will fill the void
As you slip thru my hands
Putting down the pen
Unable to write
I see now that was once unclear
You were never mine
To have and to hold
Till death do us part
It was but a dream
Made by the...

Healing
Healing is such a complicated journey as no human being is given the same hand of cards to play in the game of life.
I always thought that with time, the wounds from a perticular breakup, would hurt less and the blood would dissipate in a vague memory tucked in its own understanding of the traces it left behind.
I never came to terms with why that specific relationship, affected my soul in such a powerful manner. The colors were brighter with him and the melody euphonious. Aromas of life exhilirated my spirit, whenever he was around.
I don't think he truly...

A Terrible Depth
Every beautiful surface has a terrible depth. - unknown
The mysterious formation
of pristine turquoise glaciers
in my heart.
Are the monuments of all
my cold goodbyes.
The terrible ache of the chaos of life,
broke off an island of ice
seeking the why.
The tip of the iceberg is
frozen shards of what's left behind.
Sinking voyaging thoughts
from the dark depths of my mind.
Standing there is a beautiful man
who says take my hand.
I will forever be your land.
The mysterious formation
of pristine turquoise glaciers
in my heart.
Are the monuments of all
my cold goodbyes.
The terrible ache of the chaos of life,
broke off an island of ice
seeking the why.
The tip of the iceberg is
frozen shards of what's left behind.
Sinking voyaging thoughts
from the dark depths of my mind.
Standing there is a beautiful man
who says take my hand.
I will forever be your land.

Eternal Clarity
Baby could we try again
But this time could we feel the pain
Could we please get back to me and you
Could we get back to what is really true
I need more than the words girl, I need to feel it boo
Like back to when our love first ignited and the flame burned blue
Who called who the most, hell we both sat waiting on the phone
Silence quickly filled with please boo don't you ever leave me alone
Hands couldn't be kept to self, it was just to hard to believe what was felt
We had both known nothing before but now there was a universe left ...
But this time could we feel the pain
Could we please get back to me and you
Could we get back to what is really true
I need more than the words girl, I need to feel it boo
Like back to when our love first ignited and the flame burned blue
Who called who the most, hell we both sat waiting on the phone
Silence quickly filled with please boo don't you ever leave me alone
Hands couldn't be kept to self, it was just to hard to believe what was felt
We had both known nothing before but now there was a universe left ...

Discombobulated Heart
When I did not know no pain.
Life looked rosy, the future the same.
Now my heart is discombobulated.
Esp when someone Mentions your name.
Pain returns again & again.
Future looks bleak, black dog like!
Time slows to a trickle.
As light fades away.
I need space of time & distance.
Patience calm & confidence.
Till time speeds up again.
Times I've seen you.
Listened to your say.
Ok I'#ve had my say too.
I'm left confused.
As to what was actually said.
Do you find that's when others.
Talk about me...
Life looked rosy, the future the same.

Broken
I was more innocent than I ever knew,
Dreaming of picket fences, a life steady and true.
You were supposed to be my anchor, my safe place,
But the tides of life have washed away that space.
Growing up in chaos, I fought just to survive,
Learning to love, yet always deceived.
You seemed so stable, with your family intact;
I longed to be like that, but you turned your back.
Your loud rants, dreadful words, and hurtful hands
Ripped apart the glue that barely held my strands.
I didn’t know how to love, completely broken,...

Regurgitated Rumination
Remember that time
When we were happy?
The noise of the world
Could not stop us
Though they slapped us
With desperate warnings
We wrote them off
As jealous nothings
Together we broke
Molds and habits
At the end of the day
We did not give two shits
Discarded their sayings
Those stark warnings
Discounting every word
to live wholeheartedly
We ignored wisdom
Gave into delirium
To live our life of beauty
To live in hedonism
When we were happy?
The noise of the world
Could not stop us
Though they slapped us
With desperate warnings
We wrote them off
As jealous nothings
Together we broke
Molds and habits
At the end of the day
We did not give two shits
Discarded their sayings
Those stark warnings
Discounting every word
to live wholeheartedly
We ignored wisdom
Gave into delirium
To live our life of beauty
To live in hedonism

Bug
I used your pet name last night.
It was an accident.
It slipped out of the lonely gap of my teeth
as I slipped him out of me.
It came searching for you like the pest that you are.
I called this stranger your pet name and cried,
It was an accident.
How it still pains me
that you turned out to be a flea only for her.
The bird woman
The one who could leave and still be so present.
So controlling in absence.
But my dear,
you are a bug.
A plague that took years from...

Broken spirit
You were the violent storm
Ravaging the wastelands
Of my wandering soul
Did you plan my destruction
From conception of our
Ill fated entanglement
You wanted a mindless puppet
To carry out your devious deeds
While you sat by with idle hands
I was blinded by your
Seductive sensual suggestions
Hypnotized by your forked tongue
You laid waste to my
Ideas of love and the future
With one venomous bite
Now I lie here, older but wiser
Reaching out from the rubble
Waiting...
Ravaging the wastelands
Of my wandering soul
Did you plan my destruction
From conception of our
Ill fated entanglement
You wanted a mindless puppet
To carry out your devious deeds
While you sat by with idle hands
I was blinded by your
Seductive sensual suggestions
Hypnotized by your forked tongue
You laid waste to my
Ideas of love and the future
With one venomous bite
Now I lie here, older but wiser
Reaching out from the rubble

Different Now
I'm starting to see things a little different now.
The older I get, the more difficult it gets, to try to forget, about the thing that you did.
I'm like, fucking wow.
I use to think that you were the one, but this is no longer what I would call fun.
I see that this ain't what I thought that was love.
I wish that I could, but I can't.
I wish that you would, but you ain't.
The time that we wasted is gone.
There's no need to keep this lie going on.
The beat has done faded out of this song.

Shattered Love
You told me that you loved me...
...you gave me everything...
...so much - that it was too much!
I clutched the material things...
...wonderful memories...
...unbelievable feelings...
and the years of safety - so tightly!
I wanted it to be real.
But it was unbelievable...
...it wasn't what I had ever had...
...or ever known - I hesitated!
I tried to return feelings...
...but I hurt us both -
trying too hard to hold on to me...
and be what you deserved.
The weight of my past...
...piled too...
...you gave me everything...
...so much - that it was too much!
I clutched the material things...
...wonderful memories...
...unbelievable feelings...
and the years of safety - so tightly!
I wanted it to be real.
But it was unbelievable...
...it wasn't what I had ever had...
