Bad Choices
Does it drive you mad deep inside?
Knowing that I read through the lies
It’s your tone the suggestion implied
As darkness slowly claims your eyes
Eventually the wheels fall off the car
Tired engine sputters going nowhere
Too busy wishing on some falling star
Always present but never really there
Never wrote a word to those songs
Lent my mind recorded some voices
Putting focus back where it belongs
You kill your music with bad choices

Please Disappear
Wake up, I want your lies
Don't die, it won't be nice
Is that what I've been waiting for?
Now I saw your face
You awoke!
You didn't die, it isn't so wonderful after all
Is that what I've been waiting for?
No.
Please disappear forever
Don't die, it won't be nice
Is that what I've been waiting for?
Now I saw your face
You awoke!
You didn't die, it isn't so wonderful after all
Is that what I've been waiting for?
No.
Please disappear forever

Come To Bed
Why don't you come to bed?
Why don't you come to bed stop pacing back and forth?
What happened earlier and what was said means nothing in the afterthought?
Why don't you come to bed and just lay down?
I can see the weariness and the lines and the frown that you have on your face
lay down
why don't you come to bed and just forget about it?
Yeah I know it's easy for me to say forget about it
because you didn't experience anything like that before but I have
I see that you're angry and you're...

I'LL BOTHER YOU NO MORE
YES
I am a slow
learner but
once I learn
it is never
forgotten or
worth spending
idle time trying
to go through
a dead-end..
I
tried being coy,
casual and up front.
sometimes feeling
a brief ray of hope;
BUT
I have learned another
lesson in the life
of a wannabe poet:
"Enough fooling yourself."
I
will never bother
YOU again.
P.S. No! I'm not leaving DUP. Thanks for your encouragement.

When it's not love no more
Through this life we all will go through somethings, that are necessary for you to understand, that love is a two way street of give and take. For you have to learn how to navigate, through the process of the nonsense of the hurt and pain. That surely will come with confusion and displacement of what, love really is to the deepness of the truth of the heart. ❤️ For sure what you would you rather have in your own life, for wouldn't you want a relationship with a positive, commitment and real consistency to be able to share your life with for better or worse. As it is true that...

a saw blade to the guts
The first time I
kissed your bleeding
knuckles,
was because you punched
a steel wall
when I called you
a liar
and I apologized
and huddled
against your
side
desperate
to feel our
languid heat
against my cheek
and we sat
here.
right the fuck here.
in the dark
sobbing
for things
we couldn't describe
and lives
we shouldn't steal
but we did
we stole those lives
stole the fuck out of them,
and...

Let's Get Cynical, Cynical...Again
I despise people who are two-faced liars
They pretend to be something they’re not
They get mad when the truth is too hot handle
Then change the narrative when they get caught
I dislike individuals who are duplicitous
They smile but talk smack behind your back
Acting nice in one place but toxic in another
Their narrative is a bunch of poppycock
And if they get political
It’s cynical
They’re so hypocritical
It’s miserable
I don’t want to hear that gaudy talk
Nope, I don’t want to hear that bawdy talk ...
They pretend to be something they’re not

And if they get political

They’re so hypocritical

In Your Face
What you say to a poet should be
carefully measured, not edited.
Do not mistake caramel
and the sweetness
of silence for censorship.
If she is blind, she will still peel
one good layer of your laugh,
she will have an analyst come
to your window in the night
and scrape the breath
from your pane to ensure
you are not sneaking a secret --
if she is not blind she will
poke holes through the air,
a pocket to insert your 7th
grade fear of mundane,
you're exquisite talent
for evasion as a child, ...

burn
come fiercely and burn the night
ashes on the wind keen
I'm in no mood now blow
insincerity of hope bleed truth
I am no toy
heathenistic I get from my knees and rise
insulting larceny stole my joy
petty thief of the heart
I want it back
I am willing a debt to my soul be paid
jilted storm where will you rain?
inside my pain you are welcome
twist my feelings until they are honest
lustful hex you are next to bleed tears
cold demeanor in the skies of a trickster
I hurt but I will get over it ...

incalculable price tag...
it blows my mind
how offended y'all are
at my being "woke"
it does beg the question though
& I gotta know...
how does it feel to be owned...?

Optimistic Pessimist
Fixed a squeaky door
WD40
Expect the squeak anyway
Somewhat disappointed
Success
Failure too

I’m a loser baby
I liked myself better
when I hated myself more
misery had a melody
self destruction had rhythm
now I’m fumblin thru life
like a virgin at an orgy
good intentions but awkward as fuck
my hands remember Rachmaninoff
but my brain has set fire
to the keys
sendin up smoke signals
to a god that stopped listenin
somewhere between genesis
and my one man show of self sabotage
they called me gifted
before my fingers learned to tremble
virtuoso playin tag with oblivion
composin chaos from memory ...
