Ode to Gen X
The poem unwritten, words rarely expressed
not ever the host, never asked to be guest
in your childhood, left feral, uncared for, discarded
tending to self, armed in latch-keys; unguarded
Apologetic, serene, your work-ethic on par
you cover your bruises, aware of your scars
where your face is forgotten you lead with your eyes
an adult at eight, and at fifty you rise
to the rather oblivious; your plans laid backstage
preparing for battle, persevering with age
you survive in your values; placid,...

Animus or Animal
-
With feral intensity pursuing prey
a killers' instincts seen in eyes
I chased you
hunting you down
never possessing enough
to sate this animal lust
taming me with your own wild passion
becoming my all
my purpose and being
forever curled by your feet
never understanding until too late
that your animus so unfulfilled ...

Touch Of A Demons Tear
There was a time when I traded my soul to the devil, oh how happy he was when we danced among Heavens tears flooding the earth, weeping over my sin of lust.
Held captive in a strange place, I always wondered if it existed. Only sound was crackling fire around me, satanic claws tore thru my skin as satan held me closer to his fiery soul, whirling me thru flames, we danced while falling deeper in the endless pit of hell.
Staring into mesmerizing glowing red eyes, false visions of changing illusions, he was you. How wonderful it was to feel your hot passion as we kissed...

Cross-purposes
I was pleased
when Reverend Spooner called me a 'shining wit!'
Now I'm peeved.

Machine Blood
Nearing the days departure
Upon streetlights awakening
Pumping such machineblood
Fast into her steel veins cold
Crystal gaze, formal camouflage
To everyone, she's unassuming
Ancient eyes, turning on, locking in
With her, prey will always be prey
They never fight or take flight
She waltzes between their rhythm
Two shots, no second shooter
In her hands they drop like flies
Upon streetlights awakening
Pumping such machineblood
Fast into her steel veins cold
Crystal gaze, formal camouflage
To everyone, she's unassuming
Ancient eyes, turning on, locking in
With her, prey will always be prey
They never fight or take flight
She waltzes between their rhythm
Two shots, no second shooter
In her hands they drop like flies

Thinking About The Look On Jeff's Face
While taking a
shower, Gwen
began thinking
about the look on Jeff's
face when he saw her dance
on that strip club stage one
night and crying her own blue eyes out.

WE DON'T TALK ANYMORE
How much more can I take of a love on a two way street, with no commitment and no honesty and truth and trust. For here we are years later as we sometimes ask OURSELVE, for so long why do we have to go through the process of hurting each other. Even though we fuss and fight over things that we know would rip us apart as one. For example even now we don't talk about anything like we use to do, but yet you prefer to have conversations over the phone. Yet never taking it seriously because of the matter of the heart, that pours out from the tears that stains the texture of my face. The same tears...
