Abandoned
Don't call us
We'll call you
Seems to be trending
Nothing to misconstrue
I quickly take a hint
If no-one wants to know
So i stop all contact
And quite simply go
I don't gate crash parties
Or that kind of thing
If i was in a choir
Then i simply wouldn't sing
I hear nothing from my siblings
And now my daughter too
My only release, is to write it down
What else can i do?
I've oft asked questions
Of the wherefores, and the why
But never get the answers
So left in the dark to cry ...

Immerse Yourself
Immerse yourself,
allow your emotions to
flow from your pen,
cast out those words
like casting out filled
secrets, pages to be
shared, read, enjoyed,
understood, let one
mind, let many see
what was once mere
words, now formed
as volumes, the ink
has not yet dried,
and more is flowing.

In My Shadow
Don't find yourself down
in dark alleyways, my mind
is a wonder of avenues,
crossing, connecting, leaving,
coming back, seductive
voices calling out to the
unsuspecting, the lost
and bewildered.
Please, come join me within
my deviant shadows, they
are cruel and love to play games,
With the night time, passengers
observe my wickedness, twisting,
tearing at the flesh of each victim.
Even the moon is powerless to
stop anything I choose to do, I
am beyond being gathered or
delivered into what...

paid my dues
i paid my dues
made time for you
i sold my soul
to die alone
and all i need
your company
i try so hard
my soul is scarred
maybe it’s me
who’s the enemy
everything isnt what it seems
i hide but
inside i explode
i know your view of me skewed
i don’t know how things got this bad
i wish i didn’t hurt you
i know i cannot change the past
searching for a meaning
reaching for the stars
underground is my ceiling
is that why this feels so hard ...

Maw maw
I hold your hand
I didn't know it was the last time
You look the same
Except your eyes
You look lost in your mind
All these memories
Flash through my brain
Like rays of sunshine
Through falling rain
I wish I could give them to you
And see you smile one more time
Taking someone's memories
Seems like the worst crime
But even though
You don't know my name
I still love you just the same
I didn't know it was the last time
You look the same
Except your eyes
You look lost in your mind
All these memories
Flash through my brain
Like rays of sunshine
Through falling rain
I wish I could give them to you
And see you smile one more time
Taking someone's memories
Seems like the worst crime
But even though
You don't know my name
I still love you just the same

I tried
I pretend to sleep, tears dried on my cheeks.
The bed squeaks as you sneak from the sheets. It’s the third time this week...
It’s her to which you seek to go hide and speak to. You don’t know I’m awake, I hear the conversation that partakes. With every soft spoken word I feel my heart break, my hands begin to shake. I burn to ashes from your mistakes...
You return to bed, countless thoughts infect my head. You believe I didn’t hear the all that was said. Tonight my soul bled caused by lies I was fed by the man my heart was set to wed....
Motionless in this...

Journey to good-bye.
July 24, 2020
2˝ days ago, I found myself 165 road miles north (and many years ago) from today.
My friend, JP, was denied a traditional send-off; Covid-19 took that away from his large, extended family and the many hundreds of people who called him “friend.” In a blur of 2 days, it seemed as if I met most of the town’s 13,000 residents. I spoke with clots of people about JP, including the Mayor, a Baptist Bishop, a few of our buddies from ‘Nam and a bunch of his fellow University of South Carolina Alumni.
Late last night, I got to spend many private hours with JP’s stoic...

It Was Not Ever My Intent So Ill Bent
That You Did Not Hear What I Meant
My Words Were Never Clever Hell Sent
Clearly Merely With Deep Meaning Lent
Time Was Not A Line Written To Indent
Nor Censor Pressure Consciously Spent
Argumentation Creation Do You Feel Rent ?

Use me
Use me, continue to abuse me.
Feed me another excuse.
When I’m close to breaking loose...
Let your words seduce me.
We call a truce...
Reuse me, tighten the noose.
I’ve become a recluse...
Drunk on cheap booze.
An attempt to reduce the pain you induce...
And to think you used to be my muse.
Feed me another excuse.
When I’m close to breaking loose...
Let your words seduce me.
We call a truce...
Reuse me, tighten the noose.
I’ve become a recluse...
Drunk on cheap booze.
An attempt to reduce the pain you induce...
And to think you used to be my muse.

To JPH, A ‘Nam Buddy Lost. 3MAR1952 – 20JUL2020
When I told your family of your bravery and resolution, you said I was “exaggerating.” When I told your friends how you always balanced conviction with compassion, you said I was “exaggerating.”
On each visit, I told everyone how you saved my life; you said I “was exaggerating.”
There was NO “exaggeration.” Your wounds were silent witness, confirming it all.
If it hadn’t been for you, my life would have ended… at age 19…in that green abattoir.
This morning I learned that you are no longer here; I can’t hear your voice and laughter again, can’t make plans...

Never Too Late
I am looped in the loops
of her hair.
William Butler Yeats
Who may feel the time of youth
But be wise enough to know
Is it wise to flaunt such riches
To give, to buy one's affections
Some say, "go, be adventurous,
if she be the style of your choosing".
It can be wealth, just in her presence
But, be careful, be wise about love
Never being too wise to be fooled again
Generations have fought and died
Being none of them the wiser for it
That love, that can bring down the moon
And devour...
of her hair.
William Butler Yeats

Drowning
I am over my head,
I can feel the ink
building, slipping
from my veins,
filling my mind,
filling my lungs.
I have to release
this pressure
that is surely
going to drown me.
Every time I try
to breathe in,
there is no place
for the fresh air
to go.
This ink is going
to suffocate me
unless I can find
a way to release
it safely.
I will end up drowning
in thoughts, words,
stanzas, my very own
imagination, weighing
me down until I am
underneath it...
