El desastre del sastre
No sabe medir
no sabe coser y
ya anda ciego y
sin tres dedos
escojo un traje
que por favor
me lo baje pero
es cojo el viejo
y medio salvaje
Tres veces me pica
el pendejo reliquia
y midiéndome
la nuca casi me asfixia
Ya no vuelvo
Jamás con ese
desastre de sastre
mejor que se
ponga a lavar trastes

Wakeboarding the Delta
My boy Steve from Palo Alto has this great boat....love to wake the Delta sometimes jump in and just float.  At night the scene gets creepy as we slowly motor home...looks like something out of Deliverance...a bayou, a fog creeps in the unknown

Whole families
I see whole families of poets ....a traveling dad, a drunk absent mom, a self mutilating daughter, two other sisters and maybe a brother.  And they repeat ...some families black some families white some from Texas and others from New Jersey....funny how they don't write how they speak...I know accents and words and these folks are all cut from one pattern. Hmmmm
As long as YOU read and hear my words.

Another Prayer
Lord spare the young and innocent please... take me instead for I have lived a full and blessed life and should be made to pay for my sins before the one whose listless body lies prone now. Breath life into those wheezing lungs and pour me the cup that is now before her.  Hear me God, hear me please and I shall cease my Blasphemy and place my soul in your hands...take me not her.

Black
So tomorrow I wear black for the 5th time this year.  Wonder if I'll be the one they're bidding farewell to next.  When death comes, I'll have no fear.

Heart of Stone
I can not squeeze blood from stone....but if I bow out maybe you could soften that heart for someone out there who deserves it.

St. Anger
My sister has seen me on top of the world and at the fathoms of a bottomless pit.  There she gave me the moniker...St. Anger.  
I've wasted so much life and blackened my soul so badly with hate and anger that it now longs to balance those years of self hate and worldly fate with truth and love.

I spoke with her today....she came to kiss my mom....she looked into my eyes and started to cry....tears of joy for she saw in me a brand new spark of life, the passing of all life's strife rife with distrust, no love just lust...hate of me hate of all....an angel caught up in the fall.  

Two words she said and that was all.....St. Love.

Alright creeped out
More crazy mind connections....the same poets all liking each other are the only ones I see...same names...same topics same genderless identities same love preachers stuck in hell and darkness.

Shapeshifters
Shameless shapeshifters,
Lone drifters
Lost in the grip of vengeance and hate.
Presumed personas
Weaver's of dark spells
Dancing in the hollows of
Feeble minds....hiding, shifting...lost in the grips of vengeance and hate.

Light
I guess I'm doing something right.... poetry has illuminated me and now others seek my light.  Friends with problems, exes getting divorced, I've been inundated with pleas for help, insight.  With pleasure my friends I'm here for you...I guess my cup of joy overfilled spillith over to make another's life brighter...because I have found my way, my love, a destiny I no longer fight.

Domino
My beautiful pitbull son shares my bed.... we're both dogs and fiercely loyal to each other....as he will **** for me so shall I for him.  Loyalty and fidelity are ingrained in the dogs code.

Semper Fidelis...that's my Fido

Harvest moon
It calls the two sling blade reapers back to form....morph into spirit animal.....finish before the oncoming storm.

Huh?
Being light as a feather,

is better than
being bored stiff and

Slap em with a hug

scurry off like a cockroach, a bug.

My room ii
Here I will find solace as it is my cave....I pen this final poem as my hand and my mind tell me that it's time to put the pencil down...pick up the torch and cry til I'm dry..... so dry the callouses return after I shaved them to the bone to bleed for you

Why I love You
Because we're both in a hell a shallow dim flame each running from ourselves. To reach heaven we need but meld and fly through all our self loathing, and insecurities loving each other's imperfections to the point of spontaneous combustion.

Amore
Preferisco un amore forgiato nell'inferno che ascende al cielo di quello fatto nel paradiso che cade all'inferno
This does not mean what you think....it means, to me, that a stronger love/bond can be found when two souls find each other in hell and hand in hand help each other out and eventually reach the sky....bathing in amazement of the love and light...Stronger than a match made in heaven with no where to go but down.  Take my hand my broken lover... let's take the world together

¿En la cama?
O en el suelo....
Juntando pelo a pelo
Y el empelotado

Thou shalt not
Bear false witness.....
Beware of false profits, idols and scribes....they like to lie in your midst.l
I know some can't help but want to slap me with their 10" dictionary....but think outside the box people....we know it's false prophets...have you thought there could be a deeper darker more personal meaning to "profits"

Prayer
Lord above....wake her from her slumber so that my heart's heart can rest and fling me from her chest.
This is why I never wanted to love ANu...I hate feeling this vulnerable....where is the war paint to mask my pain?  To hide my anguish one more time again

The Tide
Ebb & flow, high and low
Tug and tug the moon above
Reaching for its own reflection
Narcissistic incantation
in my sky of love

Depths unfathomable of darkened light, the salt emaciates me when she is bright with crown hung low.

Pools of poems shimmer as she retreats, allowing me to ****** words, caress them before I nudge them from their nest, my chest and release the Word back to the sky.

Waves that slap, wake me from a slumber.  My turn to be the eyes and ears as the moon my love retreats petrifying souls to guard her celestial number.
