Drawn in

Whether moth to flame
Or drawn in like fly to shit
You captivate me

Divided World

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

Walking away

2015-01-12-19-24-55_poetryx
You made it look so easy
Walking away
You made it look like
It was nothing special

We cross one another

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

Sticky pieces

There are so many things
I’d like to say to you
But when I see your face
My mind just goes blank
I’m terrified

Carnal knowledge

Everyone thinks they know
what is best.
The path they have chosen
Must fit all.
Knowledge of Right and wrong

The catalyst

How was it possible?
Why on earth
Did it never happen
Before?
How did you change

The hustler

What are you selling
Everybody is
That thing that you have
That’s icing and fizz
Every encounter

Something; more or less

I’m on to something new
Just trying to get over you
What in the world am I thinking?
Was it really that much?

Back turned

I never told you a lie
I was honest from the start
You knew about my wife
You knew who I was
You accepted the facts

You made me young

You made me young
Took away all my excuses
You brought me to life
Demolished ever inhibition
You taught me to love

What you were

You were more
Than yourself
For me
You were
A reason

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.

One year ago

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

Do you really hate me?

once you loved me
i know this is true
its veracity is beyond a doubt
once your face lit up
when I entered your vision

A prayer to my murdered muse

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

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?

Pieces

2014-12-28-21-44-05
It is a myth
When they say
“The pieces you give away
You never get back”

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

I want you

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

The rain

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

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

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

Letting go

Letting go
Is not a choice
That I can just make
There are no simple steps
I can mechanically perform

The Cost

Our love cost you dear
It cost you all
A price I would have willingly pa
Though that cost
Sadly landed on you

Still holding (though I want to let go)

Hope is so elusive
It just won’t come near
Hopelessness and foolishness
Grasping to things that just aren’
I can’t seem to find freedom

Today

Today is the last day
I am going to do this to myself
The last day
I will hold on to any hope
Today is the last day

Lamenting Eden

Naked and unashamed

The garden abandoned

Acceptance exchanged
alienation
in judgement alone

Too many times

Too many times you told me
Too many times “if I had known”
Too many times “ I wouldn’t do it
Too many times “ I fell too far s
Too many times I never measured u

Insecurity

I can no longer trust my mind
not to betray me, and devour me
To bury me with thoughts of insecu
Was it love
was it something else

Lost my thought

I’ve lost it again
The words were just there
Right on the tip
Of my mind
Now they’ve descended

Right Thinking

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

Vampire

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

A day in August

There was a day.
it was in August
we visited your mother
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

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
