winter swells
The horizon bares its teeth
rip sawn by winter swells
reflections of burly point breaks
beckon the brave through howling winds
where monsters merge upon the coast
when I see the majesty of mayhem
my guts churn in rocky rips
and despite this feeling
I'll paddle out over mountains
until the waves are rolling hills
pulsating perpetual heart beats of the sea
I sit out the back
beyond the breakers
alone
far enough
so my brothers can’t hear my bones tremble
I know they taunt me ...
rip sawn by winter swells
reflections of burly point breaks
beckon the brave through howling winds
where monsters merge upon the coast
when I see the majesty of mayhem
my guts churn in rocky rips
and despite this feeling
I'll paddle out over mountains
until the waves are rolling hills
pulsating perpetual heart beats of the sea
I sit out the back
beyond the breakers
alone
far enough
so my brothers can’t hear my bones tremble
I know they taunt me ...

I want to f**k you on the chesterfield
Deep down beneath the Grizzly Adams exterior
I'm a posh middle class wanker
Candle lit scented room with the black tetsubin
Got to both maintain the facade and keep up the sensual expectations
I'm a posh middle class wanker
Candle lit scented room with the black tetsubin

See How They Run
Early spark & saunter
the morning stalks
a warmed-up,
chilled-out
flowering,
first...
this heat
(more like a buzz)
all through the night:
a zephyr-frozen
spear of light
spits the heart
on a space of
wavering
~time & daze~
stabbing westward
growls for hope
through a howling gust
where the darkness stretches
thought & prayers
for old friends
from ancient days
you should've had killed
when the absence
was more...

The End.
if you're looking for the old me
well I'm missing him too
the passion that helped me survive
added to the words that I wrote
some things go by in a moment
and they can never be replaced
at times I sit and wonder
was it all what it seemed?
maybe just the angst
of a frustrated kid
well I'm missing him too
the passion that helped me survive
added to the words that I wrote
some things go by in a moment
and they can never be replaced
at times I sit and wonder
was it all what it seemed?
maybe just the angst
of a frustrated kid

Slipstream
Weathered breeze
Across the surface
Of the night -
In star like
Distances,
Dark recesses
&
Absences -
Voided star light
&
Nullified moon light,
Tonight:
Footprints in the sand -
Womb of madness,
Antipodes of the land,
Solemn silence,
A vow of sadness -
Speaking circuitous,
Holes in the sky,
Deepened darkness,
Everything is a lie -
Roaming the outer edges
Beckoning discovery,
Slipped crypt of sages,...
Across the surface

Murky Water
I indulged in thoughts of doing such then doing so found
I despised it much
too cold a mind to be pursued
have become the murky water I sink into
you see the green
I live in the grey
our chance at this long passed away
you’ll leave me here with a corrosive pill and this cruel endeavor
I’ll miss you still
there’s one place left one no one can flee
by deadly vapor I will be
freed.

Unapproachable
I wish for some understanding
I wish for more love
can't figure out what I'm doing wrong
is it all in my head,
or has the world forgot about me?
don't want to hurt
feel like I'm being weak
I smile and laugh
but its always temporary
writing poetry because it's all I got
we're all on this Earth
you would think we would be in this together
then why do I feel like everyone pulls away?
wanting to stay secluded
can't even say hello without getting weird looks
I try to ask questions and get ignored
don't mean to be...

I am a husband/I am a father
met my wife online at 17
we used to send dirty letters to each other
because we didn’t have cellular phones
and logging online was, well dial up
she sent me a throw away camera the one day
told me to develop the photos
I remember the faces of the workers
the one said a remark then handed them over
the pics were of her in her underwear
a first of wild moments
when we met in person was at the airport
I was walking up the ramp when I saw her
it was the weirdest feeling
like a best friend I’ve know all my life
wasn’t...

Goodnight, sweetheart
it’s time to go,
I take my final bow.
Queue the curtains.
I’ve been busy becoming myself
fully authentic, strong and solid
my truth was hard to come by
I had to come holy undone
to become whole again
It’s bittersweet, this ending
unexpected and painful
saying goodbye is never easy
acceptance is my truest friend
I’ll miss you.
