You Know What You Done
Verse 1)
The doctor gave me bad news, Lord, my time ain’t long.
But I stood tall in the shadow, tried to stay strong.
When I needed you the most, girl, you turned and ran.
Left me fightin' this demon with my bare hands.
(Chorus)
You know what you done, and it won’t wash clean.
A soul like yours, girl, it’s downright mean.
Left a dying man to battle alone,
May the devil take you down to his throne.
(Verse 2)
We had love like fire, so I thought it seemed.
But fire burns cold when the truth intervenes.
You packed your...

Annoying People
Can I have a life without you?
You come at me,
Like you have something to prove.
But, you're all I want to lose.
My life is not about you.
I mostly stare at my shoes.
Trying to avoid eye contact,
With people who don't amuse.
I constantly doubt you.
You're unaware and you're confused.
I watch you as you come at me,
Like you have something to prove.
If I tried to vouch for you,
While I'm on a short fuse,
I'd blow up in your face on stage,
Your death is breaking...
You come at me,

unzipped lips
I'm still getting used to this
releasing thoughts freely & without pause
I let them blow
& the old me reaches up
tickling the back of my mind
are you sure you didn't just overstep?
but then I remember...
overstepping is how we get out of the box
& I'm tired of being crated & labeled
harmless
so I let 'er rip
giving voice to what's always been present
scratching like sandpaper of coarse grit
burning my imprisoning throat
begging to get out
I've always had a lot to say
just too...
releasing thoughts freely & without pause

List #6 Things I Suck At
1. Folding big things up so they fit back into small containers. I had a queen-sized air mattress that came in a grocery-store sized bag. When I deflated it, it looked like a dead grey whale. No matter how many times I folded it, it was 17 times too large to fit. I almost threw it off my balcony.
2. Paying attention to anything boring.
3. Letting go of past injustices. I don't fester over them often, but when prompted, I can remember word for word some nasty thing you said to me in 1996.
4. Following recipes exactly. I am relentlessly experimental.

Reassembly Required
It's not that I don't have the ingredients
to be a proper man.
A curious-worthy man.
It's that so much is scattered.
How much time do you have...
At the dining table,
forking around with our
April thanksgiving.
Our third date;
No more napkins
covering our laps.
Seems more like the twentieth,
as our disclosures are shared,
consumed with of course's.
Yet one, covered, stainless domed lid;
Do you know I fell in love with you
during...

Tender is the Night
she danced with
one eye on her beer
sang whenever she wanted to
and smoked until she choked
gave all her spare change
to the alley cats
and the mangy mutts
had a heart of gold
and punched like Rocky Marciano...
give her a boilermaker,
plus a pack of Chesterfields,
she'd have your back forever
mystery and pain
on the inside
bold and fearless
on her skin
like sunshine and midnight together
lost...but she knew where she was
one eye on her beer
sang whenever she wanted to
and smoked until she choked
gave all her spare change
to the alley cats
and the mangy mutts
had a heart of gold
and punched like Rocky Marciano...
give her a boilermaker,
plus a pack of Chesterfields,
she'd have your back forever
mystery and pain
on the inside
bold and fearless
on her skin
like sunshine and midnight together
lost...but she knew where she was

Fascinating comparison
What a testament to my character
To be compared to a samurai
A modern day cavalier
With qualities to justify
What an honor to be perceived as such
I am humbled by this friend's words
They go straight to my heart they mean so much
I take it as a compliment
With gratitude, I accept this praise
And strive to live up to these noble ways
To embody the heart of a true warrior born
With loyalty and courage shining through
Respect and integrity, a badge of honor
Worn
Am I deserving of such flattering remarks from...

Morning Star
I don't believe in running away
But in the crush I'm fading
*
Before nights, mists, the roiling clouds
The seas untold depth and rolling breadth
Storms unleashed, smiting, thunder and lightning
I know the rains that pelt
And lands parched 'neath searing sun
The chaos of days
Belying plans I've made
All this mine as I wander far from home
A sojourner, stranger
A pilgrim here
Self, dreams, visions I once hoped to be
A future day eluding me
Trapped in loyalty to vows foolish made ...
But in the crush I'm fading
*
Before nights, mists, the roiling clouds
The seas untold depth and rolling breadth
Storms unleashed, smiting, thunder and lightning
I know the rains that pelt
And lands parched 'neath searing sun
The chaos of days
Belying plans I've made
All this mine as I wander far from home
A sojourner, stranger
A pilgrim here
Self, dreams, visions I once hoped to be
A future day eluding me
Trapped in loyalty to vows foolish made ...

The Truth doesnt always Set you free.....
Ive been a victim, once again
when in the fuck will this ever end?
Ive been groped by a family members husband....
shes my bestie, my blood, my "sister"
What do you say? How does it come up?
I chose to hide it, shove it aside
Handle it, privately...be tough...
Told him Id kill him if he ever touched me again
Then that was it, yet I hear things of others
so why didnt I speak up?
A family member is dying
fuck cancer....
Sister called me...

Jawbones of An Ass
Words I have said what will It be like when I am old
and my rough edges have been defined from within
if there is no tomorrow and yesterday was a cliche
no more road dust on my toes of words I have said
the gossipers have failed with jawbones of an ass
I begin to reminisce about the years of my life with
the good wife
and my rough edges have been defined from within
if there is no tomorrow and yesterday was a cliche
no more road dust on my toes of words I have said
the gossipers have failed with jawbones of an ass
I begin to reminisce about the years of my life with
the good wife

ain't that the truth ..
she asks me what it is I love about
history, I say for instance the eighteenth century,
the age of reason
she says yeah that's history ..

Ugly Arrogance
Rock hard and ready, so to all bitches prepare to be sore
And when done take that fucked pussy out the nearest door,
“Cold blooded words spoken will make her ass frown
But her throbbing pussy is letting her know how I put it down,
“Afterwards, the only thing is happening
Is soap and water-pussy funk eliminating satisfaction,
“Bass so loud that fire ass shit cause glass to start cracking
Overnight workers to cuss and grandma’s hands to start clapping,
“Motherfucka my good time flows through my veins like crack-cocaine ...
