I was dreaming of you And something inside told me I must wake Consciousness opened sorrow’s floodgates in my heart And the pain rushed in Poisoning another day Beyond you Past and away from you But never over… never ended… My spirit can’t be seen But it was broken
Our memory smells like truck-stop restroom. Littered with used toilet paper, condoms and heroin spikes, marinated in stale piss and kid-puke vinegarette…
You were the first rung on my ladder second to none Around your ankles my devotion hung As my fluids slipped under pink hips and caged ribs Pried apart like you did my art Lied to Loathed Deceived From the start Nothing in you But a dead cold heart Now, all […]
I only left a hateful mess, despairingly On my way out the door So as you’d even fucking notice I’d been there, in love before… Now I’m longer ‘the nice guy’ unable to see the ‘bright side’ Eggs don’t chase sperm Never will, will never learn…

When Life finally succeeds Beats me down For worms to feed Vengeful soul Still able to troll Will haunt what passes for Khaleesi’s home Smile made of chain link fence Cracks with laughter at misplaced Love’s expense Gifted the soul Reciprocity the goal Banshees will wail Lamenting my fail Your time and touch – my […]
I hate you and I mean that with love, see Drank your birthday bottle, replaced Kentucky with cold tea Needed the fuel Emotional gruel Leaden words I wanted spit seeming so cruel Bourbon and Rye, medicine till I die Pain and loneliness: slot – fifteen presents I got Each one a brand-new hole Blown […]
