The cutoff begins here,
All like you never known me.
You made it crystal clear,
Burning your love to debris.
Where I always wanted,
When they first saw me with you.
You so gaunt and haunted,
I rocked your world and you knew.
I would drown out your soul,
Every bit and least of it.
Save you from your sick hole,
Hurt pleasure until you quit.
Do you still miss me, or,
Are you alone still sore?

Lost Lover

Even when we say we’re done,
We keep thinking of each other.
Seeing we’re not having fun,
Lives meant to be one can wuther.
Rebellious to be so loved,
We never regret what we had.
In the end it was you shoved,
I had to end us leaving mad.
Don’t want to end with all this,
All life and love must come to end.
They say ignorance is bliss,
Till happiness no more to spend.
I say you’re handsome heaven,
Our love never to question.

I Told Us So

I lost you to the shadows,
Cold and dark.
Soul after soul to gallows,
Losing spark.
Afraid that you “love” me still,
It’s over.
What is done even at will,
Goes rover.
The light of justice goes far,
Missing truth.
Where life to turn wrong a scar,
Lost “love” sleuth.
We were lost long time ago,
Don’t come back - I told us so…

Seven Stitches

His lust used to cut me deep,
Raw and rare with flesh inside.
Draining his soul all to seep,
Until hearts left broken, cried.
We used to be best of things,
Days met, happier ever.
The beauty of all life sings,
Making shared times so clever.
So what happens when we’re grazed,
Too entangled in our den?
Razor sharp as we are raised,
Lived to tell life as sin?
Never wanting to confess,
Our lust and love a mess.

Rick

forget

do what makes you happy
and the rest be ******

forget the critics
the naysayers
the reviews

forget those who pounce
at first glance with
unsolicited feedback

forget those who wait
with serrated edges
for the unveiling
of your back

forget those who lambaste
and castrate your creativity

or worse, those who
try to help you
improve it

and then there are those who
uplift and support your work

say thank you
and
forget them
too.

forget about polishing the knobs
off the editors of poesy or
the literary brotherhood
and sisterhood

forget about your friends,
your enemies and
your audience
all together

they are a cough drop
trying to cure an illness

do it
the way it was meant to be done:
without obtrusion
without approval
without asking

don’t allow them
to cloud your mind
with judgment
of any kind

do what makes you happy
and the rest be ******.

Happy New Years Everyone!

Running Away…

I thought about it,
Many times before.
Knowing life is ****,
Wanting something more.
It doesn’t matter,
Never what you want.
What’s even sadder,
Life a constant taunt.
And so we try hard,
Running and running.
Lives thrown like a card,
Gambled and cunning.
So here we go now,
To find life somehow…

And sometimes we just need to run away…

Been Traveling On My Own

**** your ride up,
You seem to find a different track.
Exed, axed, in cup,
Basic instinct no going back.
Your world a trap,
The old you fears you in ten years.
Tell em a rap,
Your soul never doing back tears.
It’s time you fly,
Like D.B. Cooper on demands.
No time to cry,
Sink their souls deep down in the sands.
Buckle up, Chuck,
Time to ride luck…
