Please Disappear
Wake up, I want your lies
Don't die, it won't be nice
Is that what I've been waiting for?
Now I saw your face
You awoke!
You didn't die, it isn't so wonderful after all
Is that what I've been waiting for?
No.
Please disappear forever
Don't die, it won't be nice
Is that what I've been waiting for?
Now I saw your face
You awoke!
You didn't die, it isn't so wonderful after all
Is that what I've been waiting for?
No.
Please disappear forever

The Aversion You Live
Fields of delight
Smell the lie divine
Right this way
Do not decline
Taste the deceit
Your version that might
be more sweet
than the aversion you live
Standing outside the fire
Standing there you lust
Virility smolders into
a tepid perversion of
an orange sky
Your ashes into it
Smell the lie divine
Right this way
Do not decline
Taste the deceit
Your version that might
be more sweet
than the aversion you live
Standing outside the fire
Standing there you lust
Virility smolders into
a tepid perversion of
an orange sky
Your ashes into it

I borrowed something, perhaps a book, which is always just a book,
or a fork which is never wholly a fork,
an apple torch, actually a beacon light,
the entire colour yellow,
not like late nights whispering secrets,
or the scent of vanilla on pine,
not like a garden, or a documentary
or a song,
not like the taste of salt,
sand beneath feet,
not on a mound under small trees,
or above a river, under others,
not like others, the presumption and nervousness of others,
not like words, or sounds,
that are not...

When it's not love no more
Through this life we all will go through somethings, that are necessary for you to understand, that love is a two way street of give and take. For you have to learn how to navigate, through the process of the nonsense of the hurt and pain. That surely will come with confusion and displacement of what, love really is to the deepness of the truth of the heart. ❤️ For sure what you would you rather have in your own life, for wouldn't you want a relationship with a positive, commitment and real consistency to be able to share your life with for better or worse. As it is true that...

See You In the Next Life
There was a time when I was
insouciant
the amount of fucks I gave
were counted in negative numbers
and I could internally quote my favourite comedian
“So what if you’re offended, nothing happens,
it’s not like you’re going to say
damn I was offended, I was hurt
and then I woke up with cancer”
and I’m sure there’s onlookers with a sense of
Schadenfraude at my inability
to swagger around with the big dick energy I took
for granted, thinking that because I could write
in a way that hits
I was bulletproof
because...

You can't see sadness here
You can't see sadness here
My friends
Because I am a happy men
And I am living a beautiful
Life that my father gave to me
Many years ago
After he made me with
His holy hands
And placed me on earth
To live
Friends I love my life
Here on earth
My friends
Because I am a happy men
And I am living a beautiful
Life that my father gave to me
Many years ago
After he made me with
His holy hands
And placed me on earth
To live
Friends I love my life
Here on earth

It Seems like I should write....... a POEM ?!?
It Seems .................
like I should write
a POEM
where should I go?
Into Love?
Sex?
Surprise?
Betrayal?
unexpected risk?
elusive Success?
the possibility of folly
the light
at end
of a Conqueror's tunnel?
why a poem?
why not merely live?
create and destroy
with every move
like every single
organism groping clumsily ...

Four minutes out and all was well
Four minutes before I
ran out the door
chasing other dick
I was on your lap
listening to the way
my full name
rolled off your
southern lips
Three minutes before
I ran out the door
I said I wondered
what your neck
tasted like
and you said
"your pussy"
you called me a
twin flame
as we wrapped
around each other
like skin grafts
and later ....
I pulled
my torn stockings
from the floor
next to your bed
and...

It should have been you
I grew a landing strip
on my bald lady garden
because I wanted
a change
and I love the way
the smooth skin
feels next to a
tight little bundle
of dark curls in
a perfect porn star strip
you were right about
the way I felt
about
you
That time you
almost asked
That message that we
both knew would have
been a beginning
That wasn't in your head.
I was a chicken shit
for pulling away
but your arms felt
less dangerous ...

How Should I Answer
Another man’s trash is considered another man’s treasure
So spread her legs and enjoy my sloppy-second pleasure,
“With the additional prizes of headaches and hell
Because I refuse to live any longer in a free roaming jail,
“In the beginning a motherfucka thought he was winning
However, my dumb ass was only losing time and slipping,
“Blinded by a sweet attitude and blindsided by flesh
All along I was a pawn in bullshit and mess,
“Got caught up in the feeling and her squealing
She saying ‘I love you’ while I...

Another Place and Time
What would my life be if.........
I didn't have responsibilities
like paying my utilities
no playing taxi for my friends
going to places where the earth ends
No working hard to get my pay
we could chill in bed all day
In another place and time
life would be so fine
we would share a love divine
In another place and time
No picking up kids from school
just we two by a pool
no constant trips to the grocery store
means more time with the one i adore
no...
