An Earnest Request
Let us dance now; we have been rehashing,
uncertain of where we went wrong tonight.
You are talking, and each word lands a smite.
My nerve endings go through further gashing.
Secure me close again, no more lashings.
We should romance and heal in the moonlight.
Let us dance now.
I implore you; the red lights are flashing.
Seeing through sore eyes, but I have no sight.
Feelings heighten, leaving me in a fright.
Romance me once more; you were once dashing.
Let us dance now.
uncertain of where we went wrong tonight.
You are talking, and each word lands a smite.
My nerve endings go through further gashing.
Secure me close again, no more lashings.
We should romance and heal in the moonlight.
Let us dance now.
I implore you; the red lights are flashing.
Seeing through sore eyes, but I have no sight.
Feelings heighten, leaving me in a fright.
Romance me once more; you were once dashing.
Let us dance now.

No Return
There's no point
in turning back now
It's over
We're through
You broke
All of those promises
You swore were good
I don't understand
Your kind of love
It isn't really love
At least not the kind
That I could ever trust
Why can't you
Just let things be?
in turning back now
It's over
We're through
You broke
All of those promises
You swore were good
I don't understand
Your kind of love
It isn't really love
At least not the kind
That I could ever trust
Why can't you
Just let things be?

Afghanistan's reckoning
Was this the war of faith, the infidel with his white face?
for zealot's on the back of trucks,
our courtship's cost,
for all the might, and frenzied pluck.
The drones without a conscience struck,
the warlords, did not care a fuck.
Each, stood as adversaries, chess pieces played,
the populous were killed and slayed.
But as Covid played its hand.
Trump declared "the loss to great and its demand"
Sound the bugle's clarion retreat,
to pack our bags, exit and leave.
Return, the middle age of cruelty ...
for zealot's on the back of trucks,
our courtship's cost,
for all the might, and frenzied pluck.
The drones without a conscience struck,
the warlords, did not care a fuck.
Each, stood as adversaries, chess pieces played,
the populous were killed and slayed.
But as Covid played its hand.
Trump declared "the loss to great and its demand"
Sound the bugle's clarion retreat,
to pack our bags, exit and leave.

Deconstructing & Rebuilding
Sometimes you've got to destroy in order to rebuild
Laying a new and sturdier foundation in order to heal
Building up your serenity temple plank by plank
Resurrecting like a Phoenix from the despair you sank
Becoming the General of your tank on life's battlefields
Knowing when to lower your guards and when to raise your shields
When to wield your pen and when to brandish your sword
Knowing when to break ranks when not on one accord
Marching forward from those you've dishonorably discharged
Protecting your area of operations by...

Manhood
I don't think I'm a man yet
I'm an old man though
My adolescent unsureness
Still prevails, I know
I know when I meet a man
I just play along
I can't compete with completeness
Makes me feel I'm not strong
Even my manhood is fading
In inadequate ways
My wife's so understanding
Showering praise
I'm so critical
Transferring my faults
Hiding old wounds
With verbal assaults
So undeserving
Just nobel intentions
I tell myself not to
But my inner child mentions
Maybe...

Still She Remained Alone
She remembered everything
Soft parting of their lips
Touching tongues and the rush of warm
The feel of fingertips
He remembered none of it
He moved from soul to soul
Possessing flesh was his only call
He sought complete control
Their bodies crashed together
But spirits remained unknown
Her flesh sang songs at his request
Still she remained alone
Soft parting of their lips
Touching tongues and the rush of warm
The feel of fingertips
He remembered none of it
He moved from soul to soul
Possessing flesh was his only call
He sought complete control
Their bodies crashed together
But spirits remained unknown
Her flesh sang songs at his request
Still she remained alone

A Bird's Agony (Finally Free)
There's no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you
That's an amazing quote attributed to the great Maya Angelou
As the caged bird flew outta its cage and engaged a symphony
Singing loudly about being free to express tales about its journey
Conveying how dichotomies keep enemies in a constant state of war
Even Biblical allegories provide revelations about how they'll be more
It relays how much of a chore it is trying to soar to empyrean
And how its seen many scenes of things done by human beings
Saying how taxing these...

No, Darling, No Love Me
I don't want to feel you in my bones.
This heart is an empty shack;
I've gone, there's no one home.
Howl like the wind if you must
Through the cracks and cupboards,
As they creak under the wear and rust.
Oh, I used to play these pipes for you,
Sing to the sky aching with manic songs
Beautiful vibrations in every hue.
My stomach turns when I breathe you in
The old familiar feeling of warmth and love
Feels like creepy critters crawling under my skin.
Only cold dead stare awaits you here
As...

Phoenix Love
You think that you were the only one burnt when the fire erupted
I was in the basement of our relationship, living all corrupt
The door was stuck, our relationship became a blaze, trapped by the flames
I now lurk in the darkness to hide this disfigured shame
I can't face you and bare the pain of hurting you over and over again
The fire destroyed the first civilization, but did anything really change
Please don't let us build upon the ruins of the last
Rebuilding means starting all over and forgetting the past
Let's totally dig out...
