SONG FROM THE DARK
Treading through the blood of my sins
Tainted by the dark shadows of my errors
Stained by the lack of knowledge of years past
Paved with inscriptions of my scarlet letters throughout my body
My mouth with the horrid taste of death, itself
The result of foul speech, vulgarism, and slander
The stench that reeks through the essence of my pores
Creating an atmosphere around me of pestilence of all my accumulated wrongs
Of years past and of long ago
Drowned soul of mine in pools of demonic waters within me

L'esprit de l'escalier 6/30
an undiscovered narrative
the lace covers but not
enough that
a place downstairs
appears alive behind walls
and someone is a peer
at the curving
stairs
shutters
between poles appearing as
glimpses of bouncy foot
sneakers
rubber
skidding tires black
white trim
a succession in
movements
through bannisters
narrow
blurred around the edges
excitement
hurry
shock
which?
i wish i could hourglass
then what i said just a second later

Head Space
There was a time
I believed your tongue
Silvered words chime
In my head they hung
Hot-air balloons
Swelled my ego’s delight
Outside buffoons
I ignored on site
I believed everything you were
Ingested every lie you’d slur
I questioned myself when the truth was right there
Because ignorance was grand when I lived in fear
I saw no reason
To abandon your love
Blind to your treason
It fit like a glove
Blind to your deceit
I cared not to look
I marched to your beat
A controlled opened book ...

Cry 4 M3
These tears I hold
Musters an epidemic effect
My heart weathers the cold
My brokenness breaks down to reflect
The raindrops that falls
Upon me from heavens grace
Revamp themselves to acid balls
Melting away my emotionless face
The thunderstorms I relinquish
Reinforce my bitter rage
Cycling itself in hateful sequence
Thrashing upon its earthly cage
The angels I wrestle above
Harden their hearts on stony wings
The stars I once held onto with love
Tarnished their souls for worldly things
I will never forget

A MAN TO HOLD
Our reality forbade me from kissing your lips
And stroking your hair with my fingertips.
All I could do was hold your hand
When I traveled the distance to a different land
Just to see you for a quick little hour
And I gladly took that power.
How I longed to know how you kissed
And a touch of a man, oh how I missed.
How much it pained me, you have no clue,
To not be able to cuddle up with you.
Sitting across from you, my mind slowly would drift away
And all we had for memories were conversations from day to day.

Drunk Off Your Shit
These hangovers I cradle
Swaddle freely as a fable
My soul sweeps itself under a table
My will to live is no longer stable
My existence becomes a tramp
Vagrant’s firepits I camp
My sympathetic heart you vamp
Vile wickedness you stamp
You keep more secrets than a vault
Play the victim like it’s my fault
I fantasized about assault
But you aren’t worth it so I halt
My morning coffee has more bite
Jack does good, Jack does right
I Crown the Bull to give me flight
So I may escape this petty fight

Number One
Try so hard,
Get so far,
Taking it all the way to the end
And when,
In the end...
Trying and pushing
And putting my face to the grindstone
Days and days of endless working
To get to the top
Then just
Stop.
Number one,
One and done.
Then what?
At the end of the road
No where to go
On the edge of a cliff
Previously covered by a mist
Obscuring the view
Of a path to no where.
Number one,
One and done.
How come?
Disappointment
Contempt
That...

Too Good To Be True
She was the hue of twilight in summer,
the hills rolled before her
like the sea before Moses.
The eternal goddess of my soul.
And then,
she spelled Thursday,
with an “F”

God's honest truth
As she lays in the hospital bed dying,
i have great sadness that my wife of 35 years is at death's door
There was so much more that we could have done together
My only regret is that I never hit her
That's the one thing I would do if I had to do it all over again
