... is everything

about not forgetting,
echoes that remain chested within
closer than our very own skin
and beckoning
that beckoning
of sweet memory
my pitter,
it quickens and patters
o' how deeply the grasp
into the heart
of my heart
seeing... me
seeing. me.
as you see me.

Thank You DUP
I never saw myself as a poet
More of a narrative writer
Rhyme ain't my dime
Yet there was a calling
Instead of running from it
I ran towards it
There are too many of you to thank personally
The end is going to be devastating on May 13th
One day past the passing of our phenomenal DUP
I will miss all of you
I did my best as your Cowboy and your Sheriff
Kept you on your toes didn't I ??
Onward we must go
I thank you Webmistress for your dedication
To my loyal readers of which there are many
Thank you...

The First Mother's Day Without You
You died,
and the sky didn't fall-
but I did.
Quietly,
into all the memories
that still carry your smile
like wind chimes
long after the storm.
This heart remembers.
The way your hands knew warmth
better than any sun,
how you hummed to fill the silence
when the world crumbling,
the way you called me
like a lighthouse
calls lost ships home.
So come closer,
feel -
I still wear your love
like a second heartbeat.
And even in the quiet,
where your voice no...

Goodbye Underground
It is I again. I know I wrote my last poem here the other day, doesn’t mean I can’t write a prose though. lol. It’s crazy to think how coming here on, June 1st of 2024, changed my life.
I was fragile and healing, recovering from addiction, and had ended a songwriting duo, and friendship. After 30 summers of doing the thing I loved, which was drinking myself into oblivion and writing a song or two, it was over. lol.
I laugh at myself, and try not to take me so seriously. It helps. I’ve become the man & writer here at DU, that I always strived to be. That...

The Walk Back
As I'm walking back down
this long hallway
the thousand candles
along the floor
go out behind me
one at a time
It's not from a rush of wind
it's the absence of oxygen
A countdown to closure;
Darkness is coming
I've shut the door
but it still gets in
Every candle was a day
a poem, of a life lived
Now my words are receding
They were my tide that brought me
and now they lead me away
I gather them up
into my old book bag
Like a disgruntled paper boy

Farewell Mistress
farewell deepunderground
a band of sacred misfits tightly bound
With magic, we did cast
Fate threw us to the winds
And we wander the abyss
The Mistress of Shadows
said a spell created a shelter for us to dwell
conjuring us from the world
We gathered here, and a circle formed
We dwell in the land of mists
a place we could finally be ourselves
a sanctuary of the soul
Teaching the art of poetry
Our forgotten language
to each newcomer as they enter
The Mistress guards us from anything...

Make me kneel, make me beg... (see note)
You said kneel,
and I dropped
not from weakness,
but from hunger
too sharp to carry standing.
Your silence bruised louder
than any scream.
This skin remembers.
The bite of leather,
the sweet drag of dread,
how I flinched just right
when you almost touched.
I stayed there
naked in the knowing
begging without words,
bleeding without wounds.
You thought I wanted mercy.
But come closer, ...
