  Poetry

  Sleep is pulling Gently tugging So charming So seductive My heart is offering Pretty words Easy flowing Access to a mine That is so often closed I best not sleep now Best keep writing While I’m so inclined The days pass too quickly Sleep comes on too fast Just hold on A few more minutes…

  Poetry

  I took a drive today A drive I did not plan to take Hot tears streaming down my face They sting but that’s ok I’ll take my lashes I meant to turn for home But my foot stayed on the gas Stayed on the highway Listening to eerie, aching tunes The song changed to a…

  Poetry

  This love scares me Almost to the point that I can’t enjoy it… Almost to the point that I want to stop it; But I can’t. I couldn’t. I won’t. It’s shocking that it could even be; That it could even exist How is my heart still intact? How can it be stretched like this?…

  I speak in poems But not in rhymes My thoughts are plain Word for word I hate lies, and liars But I’m lying to myself I know the truth And I see, clear as day What’s coming if I don’t stop Please let me stop Before I wreck it all Before I ruin What I…

  Poetry

  Medicated again All passions fade away With it sadness But that’s passion, too Which is better? Still can’t decide When I’m free I want it When I’m subdued I hate it Libido, creativity Casualties to anxiety To the “cure” That also remedies who I am Yet as I write this I see It’s still somewhat…

  Poetry

  How many times In how many ways Do you have to prove that you don’t care Before I believe it? You are all about you All about survival I cannot change your nature Still I stand out in the open As the bullets go flying by Hoping that you’ll save me Hoping that you’ll prove…

  Snake in the grass My real view My real thought of you You want what isn’t yours You take for granted all that is But I can’t judge I’m just the same Two snakes here, I see Choking the good out of each other

  Poetry

  I’ve mistaken a tramp For a hero Put you on a pedestal When you belong beneath my heel Ah but the dream was lofty Ah but the dream was grand You were just the transportation Not the destination Not my real man The drawing table The canvas, too But not the one I drew
