The Lady Blue (Torn Between Two Lovers)
I believed Gary when he said we were through so when he showed up at a party Joe and I threw, I was shocked to see him. Not only was he there but he had come alone. I couldn't stop thinking about him and all of the good times we had shared.
Towards the end of the evening, he followed me into the kitchen as I went to get a drink of water from the faucet. I had just set the empty glass in the sink and was turning around when he cornered me in front of the refrigerator.
"You look absolutely stunning," he said pushing me gently against the refrigerator....

recovery runs through our morgue
KT tape and sheer ugly will
hold me together
after five hard miles,
and I’m low on both
as my thigh quivers to
keep my knee under me
I stop to water
a tree with
forehead sweat and
angst-filled
swear words
reveling in
my weakness.
A dead person’s
sinew is screwed
into my new knee,
and, fuck if some days
I can't feel the
cadaver’s ghost
asking for it back
My lips stick to my teeth
as my leg shakes.
I didn’t bring...

ARREST ME
Arrest Me
I do solemnly and sincerely swear that the evidence I shall give
Shall be the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth...
Firstly allow me to say “i love you” to this vanilla taste-like creature with a soft chocolate skin standing here.
Tit for tat, what’s mine be mine, i want to make a plea;
Your honor, Mr Cupid I am pleading not guilty.
Yes of-course there is no ring or even a print on her finger,
For i never get a chance to insert it.
But our secret matrimony be my general verdict.
Fury not but we do not need a jury, ...

Rant …..
There are two of you
And you have done so much manipulating and convincing that the other side of you does not exist .. that even you believe the entire shit show of a lie
Like a grenade ,
Pin just pulled
you destroy everything within arms reach
Confronting that side of you
questioning your actions is a suicide mission
It’s just easier to play along with you
Seeking out the truth just adds more bullshit about you
That I have to lie to myself and hide
Instead of engaging during one of your meltdowns
I sat in the passenger seat...

At the Beach
One day at the beach along the coast of the Jersey Shore.
There was an In Shape Man and an Out of Shape Man.
The In Shape Man said to the Out of Shape Man, “Look at me I am tall, strong, tan, graceful & beautiful.”
He went on by saying, “Look at you, your small, ugly, pale, weak and untidy.”
The Out of Shape Man was hurt by the remarks. He knew he wasn’t fit, gorgeous, or tall. It took him much longer to gain courage and talk to anyone let alone a girl. He had no self-esteem.
Girls flocked over to the In Shape Man. He would flex and show...

Enter Tha Badman
It was 11 AM in Oystermouth Road, of the Pretty Shitty City.
Gino is released from the shovel & pick, years past, without no ass and titties.
He had more in his bucketlist than just to get himself laid!
His barnet was long, wrapped in a bun, and his boat race needed a shave.
He had served a three year stretch for a knife fight out on the roads.
And he was still serving a suspended sentence, which kept him on his toes.
He turns up to his ex spouse's house, to say hello to his son.
Rio, now a teenager, was in need...

unshockable
Unshakable resilience in the crucible of life has rendered my spirit
‘brave, strong and utterly unshockable.’ Bring it on!”—CAB
i've witnessed fire come down from heav'n,
smelting sand, steel, and stones;
survived the rape of nine-elev’n;
broken a thousand bones.
i've seen seas sweep swift swirling storms
that smother saint and sage,
and refugees torn from their dorms
like cattle in a cage.

The Voyage
The day we met was the moment the ducks aligned on the water
A setting sun in the background, hues of blue and purple faded now
I didn't know that my heart would fall and drown in a crazy wreckage
The image of tomorrow has a faint shadow of you beside me in my head
I know that you will not be there with me as I move forward in the future
Devastating as that sounds, there is no path unless I love myself before you
Before it was so easy to find my way because I flowed like a boat trapped on currents
I did not fight it nor did I release...

Wedding in Vegas
He was a terrible gambler. Any chance he had he spent his money on some sort of game, machine or table. One summer the family all went to Vegas for a wedding. His nephew was getting married. He wanted to gamble. He can taste it. His wife knew that she had to put her foot down. She was stern and very emotionless when she told him, "NO GAMBLING!" She once mentioned to him during the flight to Vegas, If you gamble just once I'm going to kill you! Don't come back to the room if you do." He promised that he won't. She held everything of his, cards, money etc..One night while they...

man and his dog
Man and his dog
He awoke under the bed it had been his birthday
drinking champagne, eating Danish pastry, and smoking Havana cigars
He walked into the kitchen, opened the fridge took out
a beer, which he thirstily drank while wondering why
everything was so quiet
The maid had been in when he slept and everything was in order; when did the guests leave, or had he partied with his teddy bear, being lonely since his dog died
Looking out of the window he saw many cars, they had
no drivers and some had open doors as abandoned in haste, but what had...
