Cockroaches
I find certain people to be have similarities to small insect pests, such as the common house hold nuisances like cockroaches.
They may be small, insignificant even to larger more damaging vermin like rats to perishable goods in ones home. And the overall longevity to ones health more than different possibly life threatening disease ridden vermin.
But if you leave cockroaches unchecked for too long, they fester to larger groups. Procreate more tiny disease ridden creatures. I suppose in some cases, quantity can be even worse than quality.

Canto IX: The Hunt Continues
We wandered North, in slow pursuit of them,
half hindered by the shaky ground between
our friendship, half by dehydration-pain.
Before much time had passed we found the signs
of their society. We ventured forth.
I welcomed that reprieve adrenaline
provides from thought and ache as we became
adjusted to the business of the hunt.
The vision of the blackened babe erased,
I turned my thoughts to tracks and scents and gut.
An hour passed us, neither spoke but let
the forest music fill the space between.
We needed only one Wolf...

Elevator Girl
It was just like in a movie
I know it sounds cliche'
I was waiting for the elevator
Just another normal day
The door opens and there you are
You're glowing like an angel
The crowd moves us in and out
We smile from every angle
You start to say something
And I reach for the door
It closes way too fast
I head for the eighth floor
When the door opened
I ran back down the stairs
But I was too god damn late
You were no longer there
The years go by and I wonder
What if I...
I know it sounds cliche'
I was waiting for the elevator

The door opens and there you are
You're glowing like an angel

It closes way too fast
I head for the eighth floor
When the door opened
I ran back down the stairs

You were no longer there
The years go by and I wonder

Redemption
I have made many mistakes.
But life gives no retakes.
Knowing I can't undo the past.
The iron bond made to last.
Yet the feelings remain.
Forced to face the pain.
Own up to my choices.
Listen to the crying voices.
Not sure if I'm able.
To get past this label.
I know that I've caused grief.
I'm trying to give relief.
Hopefully, my heart is true.
Sorry that I hurt you.
But life gives no retakes.
Knowing I can't undo the past.
The iron bond made to last.
Yet the feelings remain.
Forced to face the pain.
Own up to my choices.
Listen to the crying voices.
Not sure if I'm able.
To get past this label.
I know that I've caused grief.
I'm trying to give relief.
Hopefully, my heart is true.
Sorry that I hurt you.

Two hearts
Every little piece of my heart
is shattered in a million little pieces,
and it's pouring from the sky.
While your heart is sitting on shining star,
calling my name,
telling me not to fall in love,
but darling,
it's too late.
is shattered in a million little pieces,
and it's pouring from the sky.
While your heart is sitting on shining star,
calling my name,
telling me not to fall in love,
but darling,
it's too late.

Power of words
A few words
A missive
The strokes of a pen
Words wrongly expressed
Never mind the intent
Will end up, for you,
Being a living hell
Your mind,
Your self-made cell.
A missive

image hung on us
i had to say goodbye to an image
which in mine mind's eye was hung
on "Us"
In order to see that more
Real You
Again.

Worthless Man
Crying all night.
With pills in my hand.
Wanting to die.
Cause I'm a worthless man.
Ruined too many lives now hated by all.
I wish my death could right my wrongs.
No one deserves to be with me.
Now there's no light for me to see.
Alone and hated for the rest of my days.
I'll carry all my regrets to the grave.
I'm sorry to all those that I've hurt.
I am the one that has no worth.
With pills in my hand.
Wanting to die.
Cause I'm a worthless man.
Ruined too many lives now hated by all.
I wish my death could right my wrongs.
No one deserves to be with me.
Now there's no light for me to see.
Alone and hated for the rest of my days.
I'll carry all my regrets to the grave.
I'm sorry to all those that I've hurt.
I am the one that has no worth.

Regret of Men and Women
I regret when men
and women cheat
because they ruin it
for all the good men
and women out there
looking to get to
know each other
It's hard to do this
because we all fear
rejection or if they
will cheat on us
Remember one thing
Always treat the
Woman with:
Kindness and Respect
and women cheat
because they ruin it
for all the good men
and women out there
looking to get to
know each other
It's hard to do this
because we all fear
rejection or if they
will cheat on us
Remember one thing
Always treat the
Woman with:
Kindness and Respect

Released Regrets
I am sorry that I had you stay for too long
Because the truth is that you really belong
To someone else. I was hanging onto our
Love for eternity and as the midnight hour
Came in the light I could not keep clinging
On for dear life anymore as it kept raining.
Whatever sunlight and happiness we once
Faded away. The days turning into months
And the months turning into years meant
Nothing if the love we had was totally bent
Out of shape or empty. I am sorry for all of
The times I could have been able to love
Sometime...
Because the truth is that you really belong
To someone else. I was hanging onto our
Love for eternity and as the midnight hour
Came in the light I could not keep clinging
On for dear life anymore as it kept raining.
Whatever sunlight and happiness we once
Faded away. The days turning into months
And the months turning into years meant
Nothing if the love we had was totally bent
Out of shape or empty. I am sorry for all of
The times I could have been able to love
Sometime...
