Woman ****** fuzz does not puzzle me,
but stumps men near and far.

They claim hair is best on Bonobos;
I view that a lesser stance.

Last Poem Was Mistaken Draft

"From Voice Of A ******* Dog"

You watch at a distance from the safety
of  your green and  white lawn chair
as I lick  my *******. You probably
do not think I know my colors;
an incorrect assumption.

Green is for the Irish, communists
prefer red,  blue is the sky on good
days  and you are, as most
men, yellow. I am not on
that spectrum.

Papercut

Papercut

When my finger met the paper, in a brief love affair, it took my blood as a trophy.
Then the red droplets created a beautiful mess as they sank into the dead white wood.
It stung badly, and it continued to hurt as I went on a mission to find a bandage that
could keep the crimson art inside of me, instead of spilling it everywhere.
When I wiped the excess blood away I saw nothing, yet I was still in pain.
But what hurts the most right now is my heart, because just like I couldn’t
see the papercut, you can’t see my broken heart either, and it is bleeding heavily.
Because of you.
And I can’t seem to find a bandage big enough to heal the
hole you left in my dying heart.

I am so happy that my poem was selected as a daily. That is so unbelievable on so many levels. Thank you so very much to all of your comments, likes and reposts. It means the world to me! :)

Le Pendu

{ impasse }

Non action –again
Under a dim sun
I read the world

and miss the encounter

Di nuovo inazione
Al sole fioco di lucerne
leggo il mondo

–e non t'incontro

All i wanted

All i wanted

All I wanted
Was to be held in your arms
Til the morning light,
All soaked by your skin,
Woke me up.

All I wanted,
Was for you to say it one more time,
Just how much you love me,
When I'm the most
unlovable sight.

All I wanted was,
For you to untie my hair,
And play with the locks
Till my worries melted And dissipated
in your palm

All I wanted
Was for you to know
That beneath all this,
I'm still reaching out,
And for you to show, that you know.

All I wanted,
Was just a sign,
A gesture that maybe,
Not everything is yet lost..

But your lack of response
told me
it already was

All I wanted
was to know I was loved,
despite all my flaws

Dark corners

Dark corners

I was drowning and couldn't get up.
He was part of what held me under,
I was part of what held me under.
I pushed him away so far so he could be better with out me.
My toxicity.
I didn't think I deserved his love
And I knew he would be better off.
I ran away into the darkest corners of my mind.
And I'm still here.
But he's not.
He's better.
The Better I knew he could be without me.
What I wanted.
So why am I mad that he's doing Better?
Because We were supposed to be Better together.
But I gave up.
I gave up.

The second
