I took her to my room
Where she took me
Any way she wanted

No questions asked
For we both knew
There were no answers

We came together
But left separately

My life and me.
A bus poem
Last call
Last chance
No Guiness
No Pabst

Let's take a walk down Ballard
The barlights glisten within you
Your cheeks glow in streetlights

I knew you'd love this.
Right through my lens
I see you clear
So far away
But still so near
Im zooming in
your getting close
I want to keep you
In this pose
I focus and
I take the shot
your walking by
cause you do not
have any clue
of what your in
ive captured you
under your skin

You don't need to use a word
like quiescent to describe a lonely
Saturday morning
You don't need to use a word
at all, let alone a pretentious
one
You don't need to use a word
for how you feel when
you can just stare blankly ahead
You don't need to use a word
to express loss or heartbreak
or the devastation of time
but happiness is another story
entirely:

Jubilation notwithstanding
the possibility of succinct
impressive diction can represent
one's joyful self
in the morning
as one explicates to one's mirror
some magnanimous memes
some serendipitous sentences
some fortuitous phrases
spoken aloud - in gratitude
more than one ever grasp, envisage;
You need those words.
And then the pieces
of the heart drained through the cracks
Forever Broken.
You said you loved me....
Then broke my heart...
I knew you were lying...
From the start....
You never really loved me...
You never really cared....
But I still let you in....
Wishing you were there...
The way you smiled
The things you said
You sounded as if it hurt to say them
Like all you felt was dread
Then why did you bother
To be with me
If everything you said
Was just not reality.....
Ink
The ink flows on the paper
like I flow through my days.
Each second the part of me dies
with each drop of ink that dries.
Each second a new drop comes to life
and resurrects my mind.
In this cycle of life and death I feel at home.
It calls my name if I decide to stay the same.
A living sentences written in ink,
that is what we are.

Fresh flesh wants out
from under
ragged
itchy  scars
The time ‘s
gotta be just right
can’t just rip off
the dead stuff
don’t want to bleed
anymore
than necessary
The  pain  of forced  change  , I do know it better than I  would  like to admit....

when we fight,
it is not with
violence and
closed fists.

it is, with walls of  frigid words
and corridors of cold silence,
it is with bricked up
bittered rooms
and frozen tundra spaces.

when we fight,
it is not catastrophic,
or volcanic.
its a slow and grinding glacier.

it is, kisses of frost,
and polar bear hugs.
it is, with pointed,
icicle words,
and smiles,
of snowman coal.

when we fight,
it is not coming together,
in hot blooded fury.
it is surviving,
the boreal glares
and minus zero words.

its is surving,
the arctic
ice wind swirl,
of being,  
alone together  

when we fight,
it is,
waiting for,
the ice to crack,
the snow to melt,
and the sun to shine.

i consider it a good thing,
that we don't fight often
