Mr X

Thank darkness
Because it shows you light.

Thank sadness
Because it shows you mirth.

Thank sickness
Because it shows you health.

Thank death
Because it shows you life.

Semantics

Poetry, the attunement of syllables,
harsh sounds, soft sounds,
rhythmic stanzas
pleasing to the iris,
sound waves to the ear
drums invite Neurons
to experience ecstasy.
They celebrate in unison,
shouts of cheer, roars of joy,
electric screams of fulfillment.
Some pass out in disbelief,
others wave handkerchiefs
in the air and shout
Yes, that’s right!

While somewhere in the limbic
system, the other side
of the hemisphere they whisper,
*No, that’s not what we meant at all.

in no time at all

If the workday
went by as fast
as my cigarette
breaks

All my bills
would be paid
and the Cancer
would take me

I wrote this poem during a cigarette break at work. Tooany bills, too few breaks, but this captures it perfectly for me.

The Love of a Poet

.....I will smother you with love.
hang you with pride riddle your life
           with with bullets of art.

   I will drown you in bliss. Burry
you in everlasting kisses and throw
         you into the well of your
                          wishes.

              At the end I will reap
you with hope and **** you with
                 joy as you rejoice.

When you can't stop thinking about them because you love them so much you would do anything to see them smile.

I hate this car [10w]

Clean title.
Low miles.
Everything works.
No negotiations.
Cash only.
