The waves of time knock me back,
the salty water of memories make me choke and as a day passes for each moment in this catastrophe;
The struggle to breath lasts a lifetime, the crushing wave shoves me deeper in the darkness,
what once was sweet has turned to salt and as it fills up my lungs, I can no longer scream out for help but drown in the sorrowful ocean of life.
Tangled in the shameful seaweed, they lock me in place, unable to reach that shining surface. It is a struggle to continue, a hard fight that never stops. The darkness that keeps creeping in from the deep, shadowing my whole view as I lose my way around in the vast sea of guilt.
The laughter of rays shine through making the heavy water light and clear. I swim for I am free and look toward the surface and once again breath.
Floating is freeing, the coolness of words cover me; I am free, I am nowhere, I am everywhere, I am no one, I am everyone, I am me.
Gasping for that fresh breath, feeling the hot future shine brightly in sky, the clouds of hope are visible, they shine with the sun and take form into beautiful creatures.
The waves still come, for they are eternal, the current of pain drags me farther away, isolating
But the need for survival pushes me forward.

Don’t write love poems
While you fall for your own words
She eyes another

The hairs on my arm rise,
Shivering everywhere
Teeth clattering
Breath fogs up in the air.
A blanket of cold wraps around,
seeping through the winter jacket all the way to the bones
Feet and hands starting to feel numb
Cheeks and nose are red
Ears are protected from the fluffy hat.
Boots crunching on the ground
Jacket is stiff with the cold
mittens failing at keep the hands warm
everything is cold,
so cold you can't feel a thing
gets harder to move
legs are getting numb,
****** of pain with every step
slowly getting tired
wanting to stop
but knowing that you can't
Cold is everywhere,
Wind starts to pick up
Makes everything worse
closing your eyes hoping that it wont make you colder.
A light in the distance
but it's far away
very far away
Everything is numb now,
The cold is there but now its starting to get taken over by heat
very hot heat
almost painful
Arms are frozen
Legs are burning
Lungs are sore
Wind is getting stronger
but it doesn't matter anymore

You elected a crazy person
For most of the offices.
You applauded a dictator.
And that is just what he is.
You cheered for a proven liar.
And failed to fact check him.
You voted for a misogynist
And against all of the women.
You elected a bankrupter
To handle all of our money.
You voted for an adulterer.
And seem to find that funny.
You voted for a cheat and liar
And ignored the facts against him.
You trusted a major swindler
Won’t vote him back to the pig pen.
You pretended he was a businessman
When his businesses mostly failed.
You ignored all his crimes in office
When he should have been jailed.
You made your stupid excuses
And stayed home instead of voting.
You listened to Fox and Breitbart;
Shared the crap they were quoting.

I'm a lonely being
Who craves the touch of others
It seems that I will live a lonely life
I have friends and family
but I don't have anyone to call my own
To have some one to hold
To kiss
To say I love you
"You will find someone some day" They say
I know
But every once in while I would like to be assured
That someone will be there
even if it's just for a little while.

You swear your glass to be half empty.
When I contradict, you refute.
So I'll poor my half into yours
And end this dispute.

*When Love Walks In and takes you for a spin
By
Jude Kyrie
Even when I was a little boy
in grade school.
I knew what love looked like.
She wore glasses
and had two long pigtails
I carried her books everywhere.
She treated me
like her puppy at home.
In high School
I met love again.
Love was more like a woman now.
But still a little girl inside.
Her softness was forming.
We looked into
each other's eyes
love and I.
Under starry nights,
And prom dances.
I bought love a corsage
Love kissed me for the first time.
In college, love was a grown woman
Full of ideas and opinions.
Love stopped wearing lipstick.
And started calling men ********
I said to love I am a man --I think
Love took me to her bed
She said not you the others.
And then left me for another guy.
After college.
I married love she was different
She wanted to build a nest.
Where we could raise a family.
We had three kids love and I.
And I got left behind somehow.
I became the father of loves children.
And loves husband and breadwinner.
A bunch of labels.
Love stopped
seeing me as a man.
I nearly died of loneliness
After the divorce
I was forty-five.
I found love again.
She was older wiser did not fall for
the cries of men easily.
She took no wooden nickels.
But I loved her .
Love said we do ok for retreads.
I told love she was beautiful
Even when her eyes were red
From crying of her lost love.
Then she wept
perhaps once too often.
And love left me.
It's been awhile since love left.
But I know she is out there somewhere .
sipping coffee in Starbuck's in Seattle
or
Watching the tree light
in Washington's square.
Or
Sunbathing on a beach in LA.
You see when love left me.
I left the door open.
I whispered softly.
Bye Love, thanks
for coming to see me.
Don't be a stranger love
come back soon
I love it when you are around.*

My feelings are a big mess
They are scrambled together and I can't undo them
They will go up
and they will go down
They will change like the weather:
Feel love one minute and hate the next
Sad and then happy
lust and disgust.
Changing and changing
I try to explain but I just end up hurting you
which hurts me
I try to fix them
to get them in order
and I come to a conclusion
maybe I'm just not the one for you.
