Move on, leave the scene
She snickered in my face
I told her all the things that I felt and she laughed me right out the door
I can still hear her laughing at me
Even when I'm alone, I can hear her cackling like a witch
I want to get out
Get in my car at night and drive an endless road to somewhere but nowhere
Affection is a disease
Don't succumb to it, it will destroy you!
It's for weak fools
I've moved on
I told her all the things that I felt and she laughed me right out the door
I can still hear her laughing at me
Even when I'm alone, I can hear her cackling like a witch
I want to get out
Get in my car at night and drive an endless road to somewhere but nowhere
Affection is a disease
Don't succumb to it, it will destroy you!
It's for weak fools
I've moved on

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.

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...

In cased inside of glass
If you could change your life what would you consider, to change about your own life. FOR it's true that we have the ability and power, to alter our lives and further along, the direction of our lives as well, as our dreams. For sure if you could get one thing right, in your own life what would it be, that you have done that you would, want to be truly undone. FROM the deepness of the hurt and pain, that you caused, and left so many levels of feelings, unattended with emotional scars. That still to this day is lingering, in the dark deepness of some people's, heart and mind that you had...

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.

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 ...

Discarded
Don't send me home tomorrow
Let it be a perfect day
Don't bring me all of this sorrow
By choosing to send me away
My home, hell, life's existence is no more than a cell
I'm barren, I'm waste without you and you can tell
My heart and mind are no more than empty shells
With cracks widening and spidering with every farewell
How can you feel like this and yet fear the words
My advances were met by you retreating and my heart heard
Isn't it time for our sun to rise or do we only exist at night
Am I only to exist within your...

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...

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.

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...
to a bokeh of starry diamonds in fluffiness
flows from the frontally stared nothings

like a glass
she breaks
emotionally
from his
rejection
like a
glass
thrown
up against
a wall.
