Shafts of Light
Shafts of Light
Honeymoon
Memories
Were never
Meant to be
The shafts
Of light
They formed
For me.
For from
Before
Those words
Were said
The memories
Had
Long
Been dead,
Those
Volunteers
On the
Battlefield
Whose strength
Was lost
In bar room
Yield.

WHY DO I WAKE?
Why do I wake?
For you, I ache
with a burning
toss-and-turning,
Unrequited
lust is spited
by your absence
from my presence.
For you, I ache

Misanthrope
Je suis un misanthrope.
C'est comme ça.
On aime ou on n'aime pas.
Mais inutile de combattre
L'évidence,
De se battre
Contre soi-même
Inutile de vouloir
Se mentir
Et faire semblant d'aimer.
On ne gagnera pas.
C'est comme ça.
C'est comme ça.
On aime ou on n'aime pas.
Mais inutile de combattre
L'évidence,
De se battre
Contre soi-même
Inutile de vouloir
Se mentir
Et faire semblant d'aimer.
On ne gagnera pas.
C'est comme ça.

Rainy day
t is a rainy day
Rain outside
Rain inside
As tears flow
Tears of anger
Tears of frustration,
Fists bang on the
Table
Asking why
Wondering why
The stupidity
Of being born
Rain outside
Rain inside
As tears flow
Tears of anger
Tears of frustration,
Fists bang on the
Table
Asking why
Wondering why
The stupidity
Of being born

Climate change
Climate change
Heat waves
Denyers
Wasting tons
Of gallons of water
Washing the car
The drive way
The side walk...
Sprinklers waving
Back and forth
On the rich green grass
Dishing out
The watery gold.

Tip of the tongue
Melody had
A song
At the tip
Of her tongue
But then
Her boyfriend
Bit her.

Complexities
What's wrong with me?
I read poems
But I can't seem
To focus
And analyze
Worth a penny.
Tired. Body tired?
Brain tired?
Saturated?
Ok, some poems
Seem to me
Full of multi-layers
Of different meanings
On many levels.
Over done.
Superfluous complexities.

[Con]Fused
Light bulb
left on for weeks
at a time,
hot, burning
and fried.
.
I’m tired
of today feeling
like yesterday
and tomorrow
at the same
time.

Note to self (83)
I think therefore...
But it flows
In tons of directions
No deep concentration
Reflection
Or analysis
Like stream
Of conciousness
But it's the pits
It's frustrating
Because it's
like building
On quicksand.

Tragic Shitstorm Daily Sometimes
Sometimes you have a day
Sucks more than you think it could
Planets in a fender bender
Someone asks me how I am
My only response

A little Sunday Afternoon Haiku
Only such patience
I have is for butterflies.
You; caterpillar.
I have is for butterflies.
You; caterpillar.
