Treating Love Letters Like Junk Mail
She told the police on her boyfriend
They nailed him with a suitcase full of heroin
He was tried & sent to jail
She was paid in full, the money that she was promised for helping out
She moved into a nice apartment
After a while, she got some letters from him
He didn't know that she was the one that had set him up
His letters were full of declarations of eternal love
The only thing that kept him going was thinking of her each & every day he sat in his rotten, stinking cell
She laughed at the letters and threw them away
After a few...

i hate-You?
I hate that I was attracted to you.
I hate that you affect me.
I hate wanting you.
I hate it all you see.
It started off great.
It was so sweet.
A twinkle in your eye.
I shuffled my feet.
Then you asked.
I said yes.
You wore a suit.
I wore a dress.
The meal was nice.
The talk was brief.
Didn’t want to say goodbye.
Didn’t want to go to sleep.
The night was perfect.
Intense was passion.
...

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.

Sticky
Bullseye
One dart, two dart, three
Your fat, fucking moon pie face
Looks good
Decorated with the bloody entrails
Of my justified rage
Hey bartender
Pass me another Crown
We got a glutton for punishment
She won’t back down
What say you?
That’s the bathroom mirror
Fuck
Me
One dart, two dart, three
Your fat, fucking moon pie face
Looks good
Decorated with the bloody entrails
Of my justified rage
Hey bartender
Pass me another Crown
We got a glutton for punishment
She won’t back down
What say you?
That’s the bathroom mirror
Fuck
Me

darkness doesn't need stars or a spark to highlight itself
gently shrinks the twilight's brimming eyes
to a bokeh of starry diamonds in fluffiness
flows from the frontally stared nothings
to the unfocusingly glanced sideways
in some subtleties
how easy it is for you
to shed this love
and wear on
those fading shades
at such rudity precision and pace
that even shames a chameleon
how whorish you try make me feel
from your roughened tongue
that's dismembered
from lively arterial strings
since unremembered times
as you spell black and white...

lies and fiction
sensational painful hurt
keen in metaphors and slam the door
on all double talkers
cruelty is its own master
the divinity of the flesh causes distrust
you eat lust and dust
dangling a pretty carrot
will you also eat from a liar's breast
instinctual education I was your love
disappearing memories I see the sky alone
and a sun that burns
you can only reach so high
before the clouds dissipate
and your imaginary dinosaurs disappear
with a light wind
leaning on my kindness
is it folly to think it...

love hurts so much
Why we can't find someone who means what they say, and not do anything to prove to you how are they gonna, be able to know what you need and really want, in your life and world. 🌍 For it's seems that nowadays it's getting harder, to tell the differences between what is good and bad, or if it's real or fake which makes it that harder to know, on who we should trust between the lines of what is the truth or lies. For tell me why we can't find, the real genuine deepness of what it meant to have a real commitment, with real consistency and real communications skills. TO articulate what...

COLD SHOWER
She broke his heart
And wounded his soul;
His hormones badly
Needed control.
He was left
Emotionally raw;
He knew that night
There would be no 'score'.
He undressed,
Taking a cold shower
To ease his body
Of lust's power.
The water took
Downward direction;
As, later, his
Use-less erection.
And wounded his soul;
His hormones badly
Needed control.
He was left
Emotionally raw;
He knew that night
There would be no 'score'.
He undressed,
Taking a cold shower
To ease his body
Of lust's power.
The water took
Downward direction;
As, later, his
Use-less erection.

Why have you forsaken me?
Dawn of our journey.
We found our path,
an embrace like a first station,
hope in every breath.
Together we walked facing fears
in the sacred spring.
The weight of the cross came
as doubt whispered in the wind.
Our love staggered under its heavy burden.
With each step, the road grew steeper,
yet, we bore the weight
through shared tears and laughter.
We stumbled and fell thrice
in moments of despair.
We rose, driven by the light in our eyes.
Giving strength to carry on and believe in us.
...

she used to look at me like she hated me
...my mother's mother...
wanted to erase my existence from her reality
mom always said it was all in my head
...that I was just being too sensitive
{I got that a lot growing up...}
until one holiday when I was 15
that woman sent a box of presents
lovely wrapped packages for mom & my sister
...complete with shimmery bows & pretty labels
each of them receiving warm fluffy robes
{they even had big pockets!}
...& matching slippers for them both ...

BILLY - THE REVOLUTIONIST!
I feel like a revolutionist today, folks!
Armed & ready to fight prejudice -
With my words!
I had a dose of it last night.
Was told I was not welcome at a certain wine bar,
Situated here, near where I live.
Was told to watch my back -
Just because I'm English!
I only went along for the Karaoke...
Unfortunately,
The guy never saw the person behind the mask -
Never gave him a chance!
After all, I could've been the English guy,
Who fought to save his daughter's life,
The surgeon; instead, fighting...

Your Silence
Today, like any other day, I'm running around in circles, thinking of you.
I'm hesitant to verbalise it out loud, fearing what others might say or do.
It makes no sense, I know, to yearn for someone long gone.
You vanished without saying a word, leaving me with just this empty dawn.
You took a piece of me, the part that loved you best,
The part that cherished every moment, every laugh, every rest.
I've tried to fill the void, but nothing seems to fit.
The ache within me grows, a constant gnawing pit.
Your silence is a heavy chain, that...
