Cigarette Redux
Your cigarette
Smelled like the late 1970's
Camel unfiltered
At the bar at the beachfront
A certain kind of haze
My eyes fell on you
Talking Heads on the jukebox
Life During Wartime played
Sweat, glaze, punk freedom
Defiance and glory
Our late youth unfolding
Into something nevermore
Smelled like the late 1970's
Camel unfiltered
At the bar at the beachfront
A certain kind of haze
My eyes fell on you
Talking Heads on the jukebox
Life During Wartime played
Sweat, glaze, punk freedom
Defiance and glory
Our late youth unfolding
Into something nevermore

Me
I'm the kinda guy you can't deny
Through blue eyes I'll paint your sky
Yours sincerely, touch lit dark
Imps and fairies, makin' sparks
Pen and ink, I overthink
Smoke n' ice, one more drink
I keep it tight, shed some light
Mother fuck! Another write
Through blue eyes I'll paint your sky
Yours sincerely, touch lit dark
Imps and fairies, makin' sparks
Pen and ink, I overthink
Smoke n' ice, one more drink
I keep it tight, shed some light
Mother fuck! Another write

words from the down side
for a junkie
no high is ever
high enough
not the sky
not outer space
not passing by heaven
and handing God a tissue
to wipe a tear from his eye
for what a junkie does to life
a junkies brain consists
of poisonous spiders
crawling over electrified
barbwire
it goes on day after
self murderous day
addiction shows no respect
to the body,
...

Roads to Nowhere
Roads to nowhere
Now that sure sounds ominous...roads to nowhere, Damn!!
Not really
It's not the roads to nowhere that are giving me trouble
It's the roads to everywhere that are driving me fucking crazy!
Literally!
Now that sure sounds ominous...roads to nowhere, Damn!!
Not really

Show
(S)miles of fun
It's all a show
Away, the sadness
No one knows
Watching him
You wouldn't guess
Playing the clown
Leaves him anxious
~ distressed

The Mundane
I vanished
before the day began
fell into blackness
knowing not who I am
Drifted off
somewhere in the night
without any urge
nor desire for flight
Emotional void
dull, undefined
thoughts malformed
nothing aligned
Discovering lost
amid the mundane
a deep discomfort
feels like pain
Lacking resolve
and spiritual wealth
blindly searching
for original self
before the day began
fell into blackness
knowing not who I am
Drifted off
somewhere in the night
without any urge
nor desire for flight
Emotional void

thoughts malformed
nothing aligned

a deep discomfort
feels like pain
Lacking resolve
and spiritual wealth

The Lifespan of Stars
The lifespan of a star
Completely depends on its mass…
I’ve always wanted to be a priority
To be so large in someone’s life
Shine so bright
Their love for me would last forever
————-
I wrapped your adversaries in caution tape
I questioned your thought process
I overstepped my bounds
In the name of insulating you
Keeping you safe and warm
Is a priority to me
You didn’t see it that way
————-
It never occurred to me
To wish
To remain...
Completely depends on its mass…
I’ve always wanted to be a priority

Others' poetry
Isn't it exhilarating
how someone's poetry
can ignite a fire within us?
When their words resonate
so deeply, it's like they unlock
hidden chambers in our own hearts,
revealing emotions and thoughts
we hadn't fully realized were there.
Crafting your own verses
becomes more than just writing
it's a dialogue between your soul and theirs,
a harmonious exchange
across the canvas of creativity.
I've always found
that immersing myself
in powerful poetry
not only inspires me
but...

The Ladder
Behind the daytime of my worn eyes.
Throughout the black static of my mind.
Exists an endless ladder that winds.
It climbs past memories drawers.
Where the long forgotten is stored.
Memories, both warm and cold mental burns.
Keys to doors of what we have learned.
Crucial reminders of knowledge earned.
It's time to descend with thoughts elated and free.
And open enlightened eyes to finally see.
The now of the ripest possibilities.
Throughout the black static of my mind.
Exists an endless ladder that winds.
It climbs past memories drawers.
Where the long forgotten is stored.
Memories, both warm and cold mental burns.
Keys to doors of what we have learned.
Crucial reminders of knowledge earned.
It's time to descend with thoughts elated and free.
And open enlightened eyes to finally see.
The now of the ripest possibilities.

Shifting
The relentless search for answers
Not giving up the fight
Not. Giving. Up.
When is enough, enough?
That was his question
While he looked intently into my eyes
Kindness, compassion, concern
Stamped across his face
The loss of my core self, who I am
My identity has always been fragmented
My beliefs, my values
How I perceive my own thoughts
All of it
Constantly shifts unbeknownst to me
Until after the fact
Just that...
Not giving up the fight
Not. Giving. Up.
When is enough, enough?
That was his question
While he looked intently into my eyes
Kindness, compassion, concern
Stamped across his face
The loss of my core self, who I am
My identity has always been fragmented
My beliefs, my values
How I perceive my own thoughts
All of it
Constantly shifts unbeknownst to me
Until after the fact
Just that...

touch
i wanted that
in every bright night and foggy evening
my words and my feelings remain intact,
i wanted that
even with the falling leaves,
and with the rising buds
my voice keeps resonating even in my absence
i wanted that
in the rotten story of my life
your sprouting steps will bring a rainbow
i wanted that
like a photo frame hanging on the wall
my memories remain hanging on the wall of your heart
i wanted that
even without me you will keep feeling
the butterfly dancing on my naked thighs
...
