South by Southwest

In da dark , way for dawn
I sing song
Alone
Way bein ye at
Sing with me a song
Sing . . . sing
Sing ya heart out
Sing cause there is no sun coming
And there's to be no morrow
Dress today to shine
In splendid glory
Come sings . . . sings
With me and mize dreams
While we wait
We can sing
As it's too late
Much late
Much too late
Sings with me

The Face Of Battle

Love and war
are much alike.
Both are exhilarating,
both frightening,
neither last.

Do You Take This... ?

I could never
be married
to myself.
We just aren't
that compatible.

when the words flow

off the roof
like
rain
from
the
gutters
eaves
filling
with
blue
berry
ink
i
taste
the
sweetness
on
the
warm
tongue
of
pages
before
they

blow

away
with
my

breath

Haiku (Lune 5-3-5)

a great whale breaches
"man-watching"
the pacific stirs

This is a Lune devised by poet Robert Kelly. You are restricted to 13 syllables 5/3/5 in his attempt to tighten the Haiku format in English

Little Rebel Girl

Little inexperienced girl
Wanted to eat the world
But it swallowed her whole
It won't return her
Until she's nothing but bones

Awoken To Early

Poetic T

Awoken To Early

Yawning
                            Stretching
Tired feet,
                                eyes half open
In need of sleep.
                             Early morning
Darkness awoken
                                     Light still sleeping
Quiet  morning
                          People still asleep
To early
                              Time to rest
Now back to slumber
                                         Now back to sleep.

How I have felt this week first week of nights in a month [YAWN]
