Patience isn’t just a virtue
much more of a poison that can hurridly hurt you
the strain that is put on a waiting heart
worse than the broken wheel of a shopping cart
curiousity is not the only thing
that killed the cat while the caged bird sang
its patience for a tasty meal
caused poor kitties fate to seal
and as the book of death is closed
a life is plucked just like a rose
but fear not fellow man, for I can tell
the only thing that awaits is hell
patience is a sneaky *****
that steals away food from your fridge
you wait and wait and hope and pray
for the food to last one more day
it has already spoiled and sits there so sad
because the children starve with nothing to be had
sitting pretty asking “have you waited long?”
there is one last chance for one last song
but courage never comes for all
the pretty flowers stuck to the wall
so let us all throw patience around
plant it in an unforgiving ground
let it rot away and then
we can all be impatient again

I like watching girls
sleep, shower, play, eat
I am sitting in a tree
wishing that your soap is me
don’t be scared now that you know I am here
don’t close your blinds or drapes please
this is the only fun I ever have
because I love you.
Forgive my rudeness, I am your peeping tom
and I love you more than anyone
I was with you during your hardest times
I always prayed and hoped for you to get well
I watched you get dumped time and time again
I experienced your pain.
So think of all my love for you
that I am so scared to show
I wish I could just say it out loud.

Hello
How are you
Do you know who I am
Some say I’m a nobody
Some say I’m alone
But I say I’m a visionary
A creator
A liver
And a well of untapped potential
But others don’t see
That side of me
******* off
Brush me aside
While I say hello

I haven’t ever known a sight unseen a sound unuttered
I haven’t ever felt a sadness that washed over wave after wave
I haven’t experienced unending depression that only pain will take away
I have felt pain
I have felt sadness
I have seen the scenes and uttered the sounds
I guess I am just one of those normal people
A face caught in an unending sea of hyperbole
Exaggeration
I haven’t ever known me

Stand alone on a sad street corner
Waiting for the one who will never come
Be it a bus or a person or a car
It just won’t show up
This is because we are way off the beaten path
Crawling through brush and undergrowth
Picking the burrs from our skin and clothes
Looking out for leaves of three but not quite avoiding them
Thrashing lost through a forest much more beaten than the beaten path
Hope is not in the vocabulary anymore

Too many people live life unknowing
The love they have is never showing
So many walk blindly on and on
Never knowing what’s going on
I might take a bow for nevermore
Raven in the sitting room that cries for Elenore
Cliche refrences sing songs so sweet
Like sirens who entrap the weak
I’m alone in a crowded room
Scared breaths making me swoon
Falling hard to an unforgiving ground
Failing falling
Down
Down
Down

My darling tryptophan
Tired glances exchanged through a tasty veil
White or dark has never been more important
The lights of night shine bright tonight for it is a sight unseen of holes so sweet
Buy the holes my love my love
Darling tryptophane shall we sleep together tonight?
Embraced in a sloppy napkin hug
Cloth sliding on the floor
Dog eating those that we don’t want
Making by with the turkey fry
Wasted what was not wanted
