You bury your boys.
We bury our boys.
Our tears can never
bring them back.
What's the score in war?
Number of men killed or
maimed? Which is worse?
No man returns the same.
Those at home waiting
will never know him again.
He's silent or screams at
night in dreams of war.
The children will cringe
at his cruelty he hates
but never understands.
It's war's carrion breath.

Lolita's sin is mine alone.
She never understood her power.
Bubble gum puffy *******
I desired her perfect flower.
Her mother died to save her
but she saved me instead.
We went to my bed for comfort,
that night she finally bled.
****** floats wild on the wind
her cheap perfume my seduction.
She died birthing our sin and
caused my Eden's destruction.

I'm on a cusp of life or death.
Not quick like suicide, more
subtle. Life's habits can be
harsh on these bodies we've been
gifted. Treat it like a church or
carnival side show. It's our choice.
Alcohol is weakness or strength
depending on one's point of view.
My lab results raised grave concerns
about my physical well being.
I'd died long ago when I lost her.
I knew that I'd regret my choice.
The truth is when good and bad are
placed upon the scale of God
I believe it will favor my good.
What brought me here was sadness.
Joy died long ago when I lost her.
Forgive me for my selfishness.

Why do you always reach out for me
when you know it's finally too late?
You leave me living one second at a time
breathing between heartbeats and dying
inside broken promises. The things I
was going to do are never started.

I shoot up and live death awhile.
I keep dropping dead and come alive
and die again and death holds the
best dreams for us living zombies.
We lose families. We lose ourselves.
We wish prayers helped or AA or
sponsors or your heart and soul.
I dream of our first night *******

Old Joe's drumming on the pots and pans
as someone hums a harmony and starts a
symphony as others join into the noise.
Soon dancers move into the picture and
flail about as only the mad can. They
are perfect in this human zoo. I love
every scar. We each own every flaw.
There but for the grace of you go I.

Run away from me first chance.
I'm dangerous. I love you in ways
you've never known. I kiss you in
places you've never been kissed.
I vow to break your crystal heart
I'm your Aphrodite *****
I will be forever missed
you beg on knees for more.

The only one I ever fear
is she who haunts my dreams.
The one who carries my heart.
She loves me more than life.
She knows everything about me.
I'm her world. I'll be her grave.

Attica
At the edge of consequence
razor wire upon the fence
captured in our human cage
heartbeats full of rage
inside we all adjust
to fragile realms of trust
Attica was hearts of stone
Musketeers none left alone.
We swelled in riot as one
beat the guards and won
the right to be heard on TV
passion play on bended knee.
Some died on both sides.
The ending was denied.
