I'LL BOTHER YOU NO MORE
YES
I am a slow
learner but
once I learn
it is never
forgotten or
worth spending
idle time trying
to go through
a dead-end..
I
tried being coy,
casual and up front.
sometimes feeling
a brief ray of hope;
BUT
I have learned another
lesson in the life
of a wannabe poet:
"Enough fooling yourself."
I
will never bother
YOU again.
P.S. No! I'm not leaving DUP. Thanks for your encouragement.

Chasing Shadows
Endless dots of light fill a black sky.
I'm in the car, my arm on the window.
This soft breeze caresses me as endless flat planes sweep by me.
A sigh carries on the wind; its words a spell that conjures forth dreams from the nebulous mists of the past.
Somewhere in those mists, you wait for me, not as a viper, but as a kind and gentle pain I would smother myself with, if I could.
I don't even know how to drive, but I'm driving westward, away from it all on this quiet road.
The guitar strings play their soft song of sorrow through the radio.
...

No Vacancy
Hello, motherfucker.
dirty little you, wrote
a ditty for the rest of
our ramshackled being
you had no idea of
what we could become
a fucking legend if only
our time would come
my broke ass sits on
this broken corner of
this broken street, wailing
into darkness, incomplete
feeling nothing since you
became a factor, a nuance
that i could love or fear
there's nothing left here
oh no
there is nothing left here
dirty little you, wrote
a ditty for the rest of
our ramshackled being
you had no idea of
what we could become
a fucking legend if only
our time would come
my broke ass sits on
this broken corner of
this broken street, wailing
into darkness, incomplete
feeling nothing since you
became a factor, a nuance
that i could love or fear
there's nothing left here
oh no
there is nothing left here

What Was I Thinking?
i met those emerald eyes
so many years ago
yet
knew pretty quickly things
would become a shitshow
(which it was)
yet
hung on with all hope
and desperation of a
young & hopeless man
so i kept on trying
striving for better days
better times to be had
revealed the weakness
reveled in bleakness
yet
knew my time was limited
just needed an accomplice
yet ...

What It Looks Like
This is what it looks like
This is how the heartbreaks
Take a look at a golden soul turned black
From a little bit too much give and just not enough take
I’ve been changed in ways that cannot be undone
Parts of me will never be revived
These are the consequences that I must accept
For going back to a lifestyle I was more than blessed to have once already survived
This is how the heartbreaks
Take a look at a golden soul turned black
From a little bit too much give and just not enough take
I’ve been changed in ways that cannot be undone
Parts of me will never be revived
These are the consequences that I must accept
For going back to a lifestyle I was more than blessed to have once already survived

Singin' to the Shadows
As the evening winds its way
into one more lonely night,
I pick up my guitar
and strum a chord or two
Then listen as the stars reveal
the words I'm looking for
But even as I write them down,
I know....... (that I'm)
Singing to the shadows on the wall
Playing for the faces in my memories
For all the folks I've known throughout the years
And all the folks I still have yet to meet
I'm singing to the crowds I'll never see
The years have come & gone
Yet the sadness...
into one more lonely night,
I pick up my guitar
and strum a chord or two
Then listen as the stars reveal
the words I'm looking for
But even as I write them down,
I know....... (that I'm)
Singing to the shadows on the wall
Playing for the faces in my memories
For all the folks I've known throughout the years
And all the folks I still have yet to meet
I'm singing to the crowds I'll never see
The years have come & gone
Yet the sadness...

The Week In Hell
I let it fall apart
and I probably cannot repair
my errors in judgement
Yes, that was plural
this low state makes you see things,
invent things
based on jealously and misunderstanding
And then the suspension from work,
I let them finally win
pushing my buttons
to a point
that my reaction
led to an unintended dismissal
All in one week
I seem to set this life ablaze
sabotaging kindness
in my weakness
In my vulnerable state
I allowed the negativity to enter me
and now I am...

the bride of fortune
The bride of fortune
to be an uni- polar power is like being the bride
and resent the uppity of bridesmaids
she wanted her wedding to be remembered
no one could equal
and her democracy is the the bride that has
become domineering, not let in the bridesmaid
not even getting married if she thought her
rule was somewhat diminished
her attitude causes friction, they want to leave
to go find their own happiness
this include miss Russia who in the nineties was
a downtrodden maid, much patronized, made
fun of and dismissed. ...

Empty Glasses
This room full of glasses half full
a closer look reveals each
glass is leaking on its way to
empty
In the darkest corner
an emaciated dog licks
the remnants of lives from
the floor
We used to run in the meadow
hiding in the tall grass
forever friends and first kisses
with a future at arm's length
Now only the sandy grit
gargling the fragments of broken
hourglasses, vomiting only
bloody memories
Am I there on the ground,
a life leaked upon an
unforgiving floor, salvation
for...

Atoms
There’s a 1 in an 8 billion chance,
That if you stick your hand in the wall,
You’ll go between atoms and your hand will go right through
I used to think that was a huge number,
An impossible chance
Until I reached for you to stay,
And you kept walking,
My hand fades through yours.
That if you stick your hand in the wall,
You’ll go between atoms and your hand will go right through
I used to think that was a huge number,
An impossible chance
Until I reached for you to stay,
And you kept walking,
My hand fades through yours.

Remorse (Regret)
I thought if I closed my eyes,
As I burned you.
I wouldn’t have to listen,
And hear you
Scream.
I understand now how that makes no sense,
My eyes and ears aren’t connected.
But I thought it worked,
For just a
Moment.
I didn’t hear anything,
But I felt you flinch against me.
Not fighting back,
Rather you were
Taking.
It wasn’t until I peeked through my eyelashes,
And looked at you.
I realized you it wasn’t my closed eyes,
You just...
As I burned you.
I wouldn’t have to listen,
And hear you
Scream.
I understand now how that makes no sense,
My eyes and ears aren’t connected.
But I thought it worked,
For just a
Moment.
I didn’t hear anything,
But I felt you flinch against me.
Not fighting back,
Rather you were
Taking.
It wasn’t until I peeked through my eyelashes,
And looked at you.
I realized you it wasn’t my closed eyes,
You just...

The Single Father
There is always guilt
floating in the waves
of the distinction
and the comparison
to the others
that successfully
maintained their marriages
can shade the day
with mixed feelings
I will get a lovely card
from my only child
and I never doubt
the genuine love
despite that phone
that often gets in the way
when answers to my questions
are greeted with a "what?" or a mumble
This life is very back and forth
two days off, five days on
from silence to energy ...
