I cannot write
I cannot find
behind the creases
of my mind
the words to fill
another line,
those words wait
out of sight
for now I
cannot write.

Go away morning
with your sleepy eyes and sad-dream lies
Disappear my morning Star
and melt into the shadows.

Leave me here, alone in bed
longing for your touch.
But dreams are lies that will not hide
how my heart is crushed.

Teeth against flesh.
It's a chaotic ritual,
seldom expressed,
but one that's required. Nevertheless,
there's beauty in death,
and mourning
is graceful-
though, terribly stressed.

Who would pity your demise?
A question worth a laugh
(or two),
and, to the answer-
a surprise:
Me.
I don't like you-
no, I'm quite sure I hate you, actually-
but it's quite hard to stop loving you.

it's 1:32 am
and I'm so drunk
that i can't remember
you
Born half a frog
Born half an eagle  
It's finder was so creative
In naming him frog-eagle
He soared up and down the mighty sky
Loudly Ribbiting at the same time

The Wind rushed through
his feathery head
As he Landed in the pond
to go to bed
And people came from far and wide
With laughs and wonder all supplied
While the frog-eagle
continued on With his life
soon he found a fish-bat wife

They moved into a pond and had a strange thing of a baby
a frog-eagle-bat-fish who they christened Katie  
Who didn't give a hoot about the laughs that she got
For looking a tad like an apricot
She even made it
onto the front cover
Of a nature magazine
all thanks to her mother

And soon she had a medley of children of her own
While the frog-eagle laughed as they talked on the phone
'Tell me' he asked to his only offspring
'Have you ever had much trouble fitting in?'
She laughed and replied
'Of course I have dad
But I'm different, I'm unique and boy am I glad!'
The frog-eagle smiled and put down the receiver
As he stared into the eyes of grandson
The frog-eagle-fish-bat-cat-dog-sabourtoothed ******
Trying to write a weird, silly poem.
Well I think this is pretty silly...
she seduces my mind
with just a quickness
shes the everything iv always wanted
with a natural beauty thats more than just surface
heartfelt from her spirit
clean and strong
she is a woman in ways that just fill me with joy
fill me with longing
i was always hers
iv been hers forever
tell her be with me
take my hand
lets find that beautiful day together
be my beautiful day
