Book
Have you ever forgot your name?
Are you ever going insane?
From the sky do you see rain?
From your heart do you feel pain?
The storm came
You were to blame
You were the starter flame
The beginning of the game
Your soul you gave
You were brave
Dark cave
Hopes gave
Forgotten slave
No save
Instant grave
Beneath the wave
Fighting back against it
But will has a limit
You could plummet to the pit
Your story could be writ
But the pages can be flipped ...

Pretty corpse
I want to leave a pretty corpse
No disfigurement for me
Rotten flesh and open sores
Is no way to be
Growing old and long forgotten
May be just fine for you
But I'd rather meet a tragic fate
And burn out all too soon
No disfigurement for me
Rotten flesh and open sores
Is no way to be
Growing old and long forgotten
May be just fine for you
But I'd rather meet a tragic fate
And burn out all too soon

On the Prowl
Been on the Prowl
Forever searching
For the one
To unlock my door
Fantasies, although
Based in reality,
Simply not real
So...Tonight
Been on the Prowl
Want a good
Hot lover
One night stand
Maybe two
No more after that
Catch my eye
Court me
Win me over
Tell me your
Cock is
Right size
To fill me
Full of cum
Tell me you
You want to
Fuck me
Tell me you
Want me to meet
Your momma
I say...ok
Take...

As I Grow Old with Grays
The times are changing
As I grow old with grays
I’m busy rearranging
Closer to my last days –
The years go by faster
As I move a little slow
Not yet out to pasture
But I hear the wind blow –
The words escape me
As I write the truth
For all that shaped me
Withered away in youth –
I count every wrinkle
Claiming each as mine
But also see a twinkle
In the life I still define –
Then I begin to smile
I still have time
It might be a while
It may be my prime –
Nothing is...
As I grow old with grays
I’m busy rearranging
Closer to my last days –
The years go by faster
As I move a little slow
Not yet out to pasture
But I hear the wind blow –
The words escape me
As I write the truth
For all that shaped me
Withered away in youth –
I count every wrinkle
Claiming each as mine
But also see a twinkle
In the life I still define –
Then I begin to smile
I still have time
It might be a while
It may be my prime –

Pirate
A man sails to a distant land
If the story's tale I understand
Searching for treasure on the open sea
Looking to pay off a hefty fee
Wanted for stealing from the queen
He ran and then was never seen
He found a crew that let him join
But he had to pay some amount of coin
So now he works for little gains
And now he mops the dirty stains
Treated with no sense of respect
The hate and misery he should expect
He made his way from the bottom
From winter to the start of autumn
He learned how to make it...

Author Unknown
My literal escape lands me on another planet
One where the author unknown lives
Not knowing that his or her most inner expressions have been discovered and exposed
Readers enticed by words they see
Never clear why the writer does not want to be seen
One where the author unknown lives
Not knowing that his or her most inner expressions have been discovered and exposed

f**king and Ambient Interruptions
Let’s make a pact,
Right here
And
Right now.
Don’t tell me what you like,
I’ll return the favor.
It’s such a little
Hole
In the wall
Spot,
Feels like it’s
Just
Ours
The waiter’s broken
English,
Mouth full of
Discordant
Teeth,
Landed here
From
Third world
Parts
Unknown,
And what
A smile,
So grateful,
So gracious
The intangible jua
De vivre
Of imminent
Eroticism
Surrounds...
Right here
And
Right now.
Don’t tell me what you like,

A letter to the love of my life
Dear Lover
Honestly I am so in love with you
I just love the relationship we have
I love how you make me feel
How when I'm tired
The moment I'm with you
I just feel awake
But when I'm really tired
You just have a way of
putting me to sleep
You're so hot
I'm sure everyone knows that
You just have a richness to you
That only a few can rival
I love it when you're strong
I love it how you're not for everybody
I love the way you look
Each kiss we've shared
Has gotten my heart moving...
Honestly I am so in love with you
I just love the relationship we have
I love how you make me feel
How when I'm tired
The moment I'm with you
I just feel awake
But when I'm really tired
You just have a way of
putting me to sleep
You're so hot
I'm sure everyone knows that
You just have a richness to you
That only a few can rival
I love it when you're strong
I love it how you're not for everybody
I love the way you look
Each kiss we've shared
Has gotten my heart moving...

Secret #2
I thought about writing a poem but instead I'm telling you a story. I think of words to say but yet those words are hidden. I am sad but yet not depressed. I'm a freak but yet so normal. I'm a nighttime star but yet I'm without a light. I see but can't believe. I try but yey give up. I trust but yet I'm alone. I'm unselfish but yet I break things. I'm not here to say some lines. Because the truth is even now I'm wasting my time. Not because I need attention but because I fear isolation. I wish I had an answer but instead I got nothing. I don't have a damn idea on what to do or who i am meant...

A FACE BEHIND A SCREEN
What do you see of me as I am behind a screen of glass only a voice unheard only the shadow of an faceless image, for when you see and read of my unspoken words from behind a screen of glass. What do you see of the real ME or do you see the me, that I am in skin and flesh and blood something invisible to the touch. For what do you feel within your heart and soul from my unspoken words, written upon a screen created from pen upon paper, for do you feel my pain and hurt even my suffering along with the heartaches of misery with pain. What do you see of me as you only feel the depth of my...
