It’s On
I’ve sat here for hours now.
Riding a rollercoaster of ups
and downs, clips of a life on loop
playing some sad docudrama.
In the amusement park called
Bourbon Wonderland I twirl through
the funhouse filled with regrets
and broken promises.
They called me a hero, right.
A heroin addict that took many
more lives than I saved.
For fuck’s sake stop saying you
know how I feel! No one does.
Sure I have bad days.
I almost prefer them because
it keeps it real, pain is better than
nothing.

Humble Me
I don’t lack ego in life
I’m stop short of conceited
In quest after Miss Poetry
in the World the same not repeated
Recluse adolescent shy cub
raised best as could by young mother
Never taught to be king
so chose a player thru struggle
Reluctant confidence self assured
Ripley believing or not
I made myself into the vintage Man I raised
chiseled in slow mastery thought
No virtuous grandeur where I stood
pebbles can’t pass before shame
Maybe was meek when I was formed
now word gets born from my name ...

78 cards
Today I was your hope
in paper and ink
78 cards of pick-your-own-destiny
that somehow reach in
to the tangled depth of you
and make sense of this mad life
I wish I was like you
I wish the cards broke me down
in positive ways that makes
the darkness look like dawn
But I'm not you
I lost the fight to my inner cynic
years ago
and it hurts too much
to claw my way back to faith
than it does to smile and lie
and pretend that I believe
in pretty pictures
printed on cardstock
...

The True Story Of Adam And Eve
Another lovely day in paradise.
The sky is coloured in orangy red
When from their wildflower bed
Adam and Eve gently rise.
All of nature breathes peace.
Playfully a fox chases a hare.
Sweet birdsong lingers in the air.
Sun warms a cat’s golden fleece.
A stroll through Garden Eden they take
With a lively mind and carefree.
When Eve stops in front of a tree,
On one branch lies a glittering snake.
"Careful, Eve! From the evil run away!"
“It’s a harmless beauty, can't you see?
I'm sure it's the...

Merry Christmas
Everyone wants to live forever
Trying to avoid the great unknown
Castles of silver, streets of gold
The doubts permeate your mind
Was I good enough to make it in
Or was my life to abundant with sin
Will I rise up to the heavens
Or fall to that boiling lake of fire
Will I come back as a butterfly
Or a pig fattened for slaughter
Maybe there's nothing
Spirits floating around with
Zero, zilch, nada to do
Or maybe I could be stuck in purgatory
With noone to free me
If I am reincarnated
I'd want to be a cow in...

A Devilish Deal
Come one, come all, the carnival's here!
Bring your soul; there’s no need to fear.
Step right up to the Devil’s stand,
He’ll trade your essence for a sleight of hand.
The Dark One grins, his pitch refined,
“A bargain struck will free your mind!
Forget those rules of guilt and pain,
Just sign this slip and break your chain.”
“But what’s the catch?” you skeptics cry,
“What’s hidden deep within the lie?”
The Devil laughs, his voice a drawl,
“Oh, nothing much… just your mortal thrall.”
Religion gasps, the pews erupt, ...
Bring your soul; there’s no need to fear.

Just sign this slip and break your chain.”
