Embrace it Except it with open outstretched arms Imagine the beautiful silence no one will hear The taste of ash on dead lips The sweat smell of decaying flesh The crumbling monuments of shortsightedness Finally all will be equal and free Finally all will be on the same side of the argument Finally all will have peace and justice Embrace it Except it with open outstretched arms All sins will be washed away in the blink of an eye Fire purifies all No more wars or violence No more overcrowded jails No more unpaid bills stacking up No more fuxing lawyers or traffic lights Black heart will finally have a fitting home Wretched souls will finally be obliterated Embrace it Except it with open outstretched arms Love the idea of it Look forward to it Rush toward it headlong Push your way to the front to make sure you get a good seat Help facilitate it Quicken its pace Point it in the right direction And push the big fuxing red button

Embrace It
They say tomorrow’s the end of the world Well isn’t that just absolutely great I have a long list of things to get done Tomorrow I had planned to lose some weight You’re just now telling me the world will end I still have bills to pay and a book to write I was just about to invent something That was much better than Edison’s light They say tomorrow’s the end of the world To watch the apocalypse get a good seat Folk are running to the store to grab beer And sunscreen for the coming blast of heat You’re just now telling me the world will end The timing of this doom couldn’t be worse How am I going to get everything done There’s not even enough time to rent the hearse They say tomorrow’s the end of the world Everyone’s telling me to accept this fate So I’ll just stay home with my rubber girl And I’ll have just enough time to inflate

Lungs Don't Fail Me Now
Together, over the edge We fell into the chasm Plunging hand in hand chest first Followed by our past phantoms Falling like sallow dead leaves From our own broken branches Cutting ****** through chaos Knowing we were taken our chances Sinking into the dark depths Of affections pitched blackness Plagued by our fiery passions Much like the burning harvest Endless was our plummeting We could never hit bottom But then you let go of my hand The ground is now your problem I have wings

Let's Hit Bottom Together
I am sure my mail lady loves me She does stop by my house frequently She brings me letters, bills and adverts And with great force my mail she inserts Though jammed, crammed, mashed and squashed is the mail Like an abstract origami fail Of which she fits into my mail box Deftly and quick like she’s on the clock And without so much as a toodaloo She leaves as if she is just passing through But I know she just wants my attention Her act is just a cry for affection I’ll let her know her message is received I’ll leave behind something she can retrieve A purple handmade folded paper crane Which I’ll then crush and vigorously maim

The Mail Lady, The Mailbox and I - A Love Story
Awoken by the dawns unwanted light Untangling from your clingy arms and legs Being the first one up surely ain’t right Now who’s going to make me coffee and eggs I see that lazy tight young *** sticking out, With *** and suggestiveness that you flout, Nakedness uncovered by the bed sheets Our cloths carelessly thrown across the floor Remembering you calling last night for more Until all our energy was deplete My body is all scratched up and ache’n I am too **** old for these nighttime forays I don’t see you up making me bacon So forget you; I’m off to the café You can just lie there, sleeping alone And I’ll get back once you have left the home Feel free to grab a pop-tart when you leave For you I have taped this poem to the door I apologize if I sound a bit sore But please wait before calling another eve

A Morning Gone Wrong
In the darkest umbra of a shadow Where time and wraith like dimensions collide Is the place you can find all man’s sorrows And woman’s secrets they’ll never confide In the obscurity of one’s dark gloom In your contrasting reverse projection of self You can envision your impending doom Like a porcelain doll falling from the shelf Trace the outline of your twisted dark shade Chalking the ground where your body will be laid Lying down, your shadow and you become one While you lie dead under the blazing sun

Darkest Shadows
I write poems in hope that they will live on forever Because someday I will die I try to tell my daughter I love her every day, I call my dad once a week and try to stay in contact with my friends Because someday I will die I go to work and collect that check making sure a part of it goes to life insurance Because someday I will die I wonder the streets at night, climb mountains during the day and try to take it all in Because someday I will die I try to get to know you all better Because someday I will die I want to understand your point of view Because someday I will die I read poetry Because someday I will die I drink Crown, smoke a tobacco pipe and eat the occasional steak Because someday I will die I meditate and contemplate the meaning of life Because someday I will die I love and hope and care and pray Because someday I will die I rant, shake my fist and express my discontent Because someday I will die I clean my house, take out the trash, do the dishes and wear clean underwear Because someday I will die You are reading this poem Because some day I will die We fight to stay alive Because we do not want today to be the day we die

Because someday I will die
I have made a list Of things to forget I have not a wish To repay these debts Or be reminded Of time that was spent Together yet divided No plan to repent For immoral sins To look over my Regrets, nor take a spin At the start and retry To untie the wrongs Inflicted by you Feelings which you long To have me undo I just want a list That will get me to The end of the gist A new point of view That won’t include you But here is the twist Every time I inspect My forget you sheet I begin to reflect On what I’d delete Now an unfortunate Reminding portrait Of all the things I want to forget

Made A Forget List
She says to me These boys have no game She shows me their text messages And ridicules them Really tearing them down She wants me to flirt with her Egging me on Desperate for the Attention She reeks of it She is 6" heeled shoes She is a tight mini skirt She is taunting eyes Telling me to play her game She is hot water And cold showers She is a tigress A man eater All in a young petite frame I am just a big old ape Trying to survive day to day And I don't have time To flirt

Surviving In The Wild
Climb aboard the Paper Airplane Express Let’s fly to far away destinations Where we land is random, it can’t be guessed We have no preconceived expectations Wings hand crafted by tiny artisans Powered by adolescent dreams that ignite Bright eyed smiles, marking the serene occasion Of each and every planes inaugural flight Hop aboard the Paper Airplane Express No two planes are alike, each is unique And not every flight is a success But we can re-launch after a simple tweak As our pilots aren’t allowed to play with matches To date none of our planes have caught on fire Though we have seen quite a few crashes And apparently that little pyro bobby just made me a liar
