I feel like I'm in a season of drought,

Mirroring my environment, water without —

Where the poems used to spring forth,

Now have run out.

I keep going back over archived poems;
Where the themes spill abundance
And Your goodness told —

Inspiring:

I will not lose hope;

I will not give up!

I will keep mucking about
Searching for a rhyme.

Holy Spirit, may you send your love down through me to others,
And turn words into wine —

I don’t get lonely, solitude is my best friend. I do like to visit every now and then.
I don’t behave the way I use to, just to be one of the gang.
I don’t need a “that a boy!” I’m no longer looking for my status quo of fame.
My old friends don’t understand me, something about me has changed.
I’m no longer interested in pretending we’re all at the same stage.

Life is a series of circles,
That's why we don't like it as much.
Because it's only back and forth,
Around the course.
It's getting better for a while,
Then going back to where we were.
We can't accept who we are,
It doesn't work like that.
There's too much piled on,
That makes us want to rot.
It's something better,
Then the same.
I only like one loop,
It's the flashy earing,
On the girl I want so bad,
Sometimes.
Because she's exactly what I have in my head,
Though I understand I could never have her hand.
I was made to fight in this broken place,
She was made for better things.
Generalizing a burden lightens it in a way that shouldn't be used for too long.
Early evenings he was a hoot.
In his cups beers and butts
another cheap shot to shoot
aimed at pretty bar stool *****.

Hungover monster at 6 am
angry at the entire universe
God and Satan great amen
hair of the dog cures a curse.
How to Drink for Dummies.
A mile wide, an inch thick
a brick wall playing a card trick.
Chewing gum and hard ****.
Met her at the bar ****, her *** is fit.

A woman’s seduction.
I am an addict.
Hit it, then quit
I’m a master manipulator at this ****.

I walk into the bar
I am the white rabbit.
I got the MapQuest to destruction,
and it’s a one-way trip.

PAM! A vicious cycle.
I’m tired of this ****.

The world looks better
when it’s not looking back.
a photo doesn’t ask you
to pay rent
or get sober.

it just sits there
pretty
quiet--
crooked
honest in a way life never is

Thy eyes
they lie.
the camera doesn’t.
it just
clicks.

It Just captures !

the nook of her back
elicits sensations in me
exhilarating;
greater than a drop of espresso
or crack,
I am alive with desire, free —

but will I step forth
and meet she?

You can't treat love
Only
As a Routine
Nor
Only
As a Romance
Either.

Love is
Beyond both...

It's REVERENCE

If love is only routine,
Routine that you stick to, like a habit,
You miss love's spontaneous feel

And if love is only romance,
Romance that's exciting and short-lived,
You miss love's steadfast quality

Routine, romance and reverence
Is as different as
Common sense,  cleverness and clarity
