Walk to the fun-house
  Mad-house n’ sad-house
   Arrive a minute too soon.
    Carnival courtyard
      Judge gavel wire barb
       Tortured 12 hours past noon.
        Serial laugh scare
        White faced with green hair
        Schizoid with no idea.
        Plan for the worst one
       The first one, you thirst some
      The rats are feverish and calm.
      Scurry for the front door
     To see day just one more-
   A maze, caught in Lucifer’s palm.
Waiting for a train in the courtyard
Wait to go insane I’m gonna go far  
Away from this train in the courtyard
I’ve planned to be in pain only thus far

I’ve been studying
I’ve been swallowed
I’ve been studying
I’ve been swallowed
Wake up in the sunlight hour
You sense the warm and feel the power
And know that when you want to leave
You can

All is well and all is bright
You wonder of the lasting night
And speak of shells and cuddle fish
Aloud

I know
  That it’s all
      A passing phase
I know
  That it’s all
      A passing phrase
Intelligence is followed by ignorance
Fever followed by figurativeness
A better human
Or more humane
Never before or
Never again
There’s a glass of water on a dark wooden desk
I taste a little then spill the rest
I slept for an hour but awoke from the storm
There I coil to the window in my natural form
I touch the shade as the velvet of Earth, and
I count the steps to this point from my birth, and
There stand I, aware but detached, as
There could we, but our lives falsely clashed
Television remote in hand, sweating motel made of sand
Past wives and dollar signs were once the starfish speak now, who owns this man
Mind control of the demons he held closely only to redeem them
They return now to drain the blood and burn the coal of a lonely dreamer

Return the favor
Greet your neighbor
And tell him softly
How you never knew the damage would end up being so **** costly
She appears now from the curtain
Bear my beast of burden
Seeking redemption under the illusion that he’s just a hurt person, snuggle

Master of illusion
Wake from slumber as he chooses
Radiant thoughts, alcohol induced in tangent solutions, breathing becomes useless
Pulls himself from the comfort, indecent love
He’s seen too much hurt
As the blade from the kitchen is stained red though his plain white T-shirt

Happiness is sirens
She’s in shock from loss of iron
Anger follows questioning
And self reliance is just a time when
All that we can see
Is all our lives will be
Concern for where the wind blows just holds you back
From being free
I've been busy
too busy to write.

I'm too busy loving you to write you the love poems you deserve.

I'm too busy working so I can have money to buy you the things you like to write you the love poems you deserve.

But I'm going to continue loving you,
continue kissing and holding you,
I'm going to continue being yours.
I'll never be too busy to love you.

Who needs love poems when you're in love?

Ink is in my
        blood,
    My heart
         and
        My soul.

Poetry flows
     Through me
       Promise
You'll Never
       Let it
            *Go...
We are all books
Just waiting to be read
Or a thought,
Deep inside
Just waiting to be said
We are judged from the outside
Our covers you see,
Are the only part you decide read

But next time you decide to look at me,
Open me up because
I'm a mystery
Don't judge a book by its cover!
