there are times
I wish phones
never existed
so people that
stepped out of my life
weren't inches
from my
fingertips
Daniel Magner 2014

cell phones are a double edged sword
Daniel Magner Apr 2014
reckless
had Tony
extinguish a cigarette
on my flesh
left shoulder blade
took the burn
but it was painless
in turn
I'll have a mark
I cannot forget
to remind me
I wasn't always
youthless

raindrops fell
as if they knew
I wanted to melt
be a muddy puddle
then evaporate
after a couple days
become a cloud
and
drift away

it's been raining
Daniel Magner Apr 2014
rain fell while we swam
hurriedly packing our things
I wrapped you in a towel
then ran down
down
to your house
dried your hair
played with Niki and Skipper
waiting for the turkey
had a drink with your mom and dad
then turned to you
arms wide, heart sad
you fell into my hug
looked up
I woke
up
.

a dream I had today that hurt my heart
Daniel Magner Mar 2014
a porcelain figurine
dressed in green
and brimmed hat
umbrella held fast
tip tucked into fresh grass
would sing out a tune

Oh Danny boy, the pipes
the pipes are calling
From glen to glen
and down the
mountain
side.

I watched as you slowly fell into
the bedroom with another girl
and guy
a couple beers later you appeared
they left, you looked for your *******
and boots
I found them for you
then, as you closed the screen door,
I chimed out,
"See ya"
and you took a step back
from around the corner
with a genuine smile
waved and replied,
"See you too"
in that moment
I saw
the
real
you

Wicked forms
dark as dark can be
in count of
one more than three
leave me
leave me
I've been haunted
enough
I've been haunted
enough by
myself
