It is finished
he has said
put no faith

A day in August

There was a day.
it was in August

in the hospital. Afterwards we wen
to a beach side burger joint.

Who am I?

Who am I now?
I’m not the man I was before
You’ve changed something
Done something big
You’ve opened up a door

One year ago

One year ago
We were nearly lovers
One year ago
The closest of friends
One year ago

Fit for hell; saved by grace

Does it really matter
Whose fault it was
What’s been done
Can’t be undone
Anyways

Fire

The cherry red tip
of ash falls from her
cigarette to make love
with a dry autumn leaf
and set the forest ablaze.

There is always a cost

Unrequited

If anyone but you
Had told me not to talk to you
They would never have succeeded
I let you go
Because you asked me to.

Walking away

You made it look so easy
Walking away
You made it look like
It was nothing special

Over the hill

When I got over the hill
the girls hooted
and I skated down the fun side
of the arched bridge
over the river. Carving hard

We cross one another

In the street.
Pensive glares pregnant
with meaning. Imagined
Memories. Greetings between
Former lovers wrenched

Lost love

You’re still
My favorite person
A thing
Impervious to change
Your memory

What you were

You were more
Than yourself
For me
You were
A reason

Vampire

Nothing to see in your
Reflection
The only life you possess
Is what you
Devour

The way to a man's heart is...

The way to a man’s heart
Is through his stomach
Or so the saying goes
But things are seldom
So simple as that

Waste

Youth is wasted
Proving
you are a man
Seniority is wasted
Lementing lost youth

Vanilla Milkshake

All the spaces between.
All the things left
unsaid.
They are like the air
packed into a vanilla milkshake

Holding on

You are a pain I can’t put out of
You are an ache I can’t cease to
The momentary joy worth limitless
Knowing the pain that was before m
I chose to embrace that momentary

A prayer to my murdered muse

I have done you
Oh, so wrong.
I have never given you
What you need
Forgive my failure

I want you

I want you
Out of my head
Out of my heart
I want your memory
To leave me be

Who Are You?

Are you the person I met?
The person I fell in love with?
Were you really just someone else;
Trying to be what you thought I w
Are you anyone?

I Broke Something Beautiful

I broke something beautiful
I had prior commitments
I was not free
to live out
that fantasy

Lamenting Eden

Naked and unashamed

The garden abandoned

Acceptance exchanged
alienation
in judgement alone

Can you?

Can you
Unravel the lies
You tell yourself
To make it through
Your uneasy

I want to hate you

I want to hate you
I want to blame you
For all the pain
In my heart
I want to hate you

Men who go home to wives who don't care

The million incandescent bulbs
that line Gibbs St
from Barrett Place to Main
go out just after midnight. Stragg
smokers sit or stand in the alley

I have been proud

I have been proud
I have considered myself wise
I have thought that I was
Far above
The failures of others

Exchanging griefs

I can’t help wondering
Was that really you
Could it have been so
High
If I could answer

Divided World

World Divided
I sit here alone
waiting on the edge
harsh reality

The Picinic

The two of them sat
face to face by the banks
of the narrow stream
smoking cigarettes, throwing stone
and dismantling

I know you... Still

I know
That you still feel
The same as I do
I know
That it can only

inequality

Take care
In how you engage
the battle of
who can care less.
though it may

Going Back

Spent my whole life
In a war zone
Where everyman
proves his metal
by showing

The rain

Here comes the rain
To wash away
All the things the could have been
Here comes the rain ( again)
A cleansing flood

Right Thinking

Life is right judgement
Wisdom divides great from small
Wrongness has no life
