Even the poorest man
can treat a woman like gold.

at first I didnt really like or buy into the trend of 10w poetry, but now I kinda like the constraints, it gives the words power when they are done right in my opinion. Considering I usually find it best to say as much as you can with little as possible.

It didnt take an angel
to subdue my inner demons.

No more ''I love you's''
I can't stand one more bittersweet lie from you
No more pretending to be mature like some of those rare adults
I will not swoon from her joyless insults
No more stupid smiles and hugs
I can no longer breathe with my two lungs
No more naive little words to destroy me
Now I want to be free
No more bringing me down
Because I hate the feeling that Iv'e drowned
her mind was as open as the crystal blue sky
but she was lost in the cage of her heart
the one she carries with her
covered with a fine silken golden cloth
the one one  that she has attached jewels to
attached tales of Madrid and the
travels she made as a young girl
it was on one of thouse dusty roads that she found this tale
written on a placard that reads so well
like something Hemingway would have said
that reads like a key to all the closed doors in
any city of the ancient world
forever sealed
by times jewel encrusted hand
by the golden trim left the passing of
thousand pilgrims on the road to divinity
the rain had swept away the tastes of yesterday
and leaving behind a scent to the air like rebirth
like a second chance for this one run filly
all the heads hang low in the humid sun
all the thoughts come to the coming carefree night
but as she steps carefully through the picked fields
carrying her basket of treasures
her soft cotton dress revealing more than it hides
she sings sweetly to me
in a voice only i can hear
of a dusty road near Madrid
of a sweet young girl that she was once
and in her heart still is
i pull aside the golden cloth
and unlock the cage
for some beauty's were never meant to be
captivated by any less than
real love

You must be willing to take the first step
In what could well be the very last time
Let go of the anger
and resentment you've kept
Setting free both your heart and your mind

No more looking back in the mirror
The reflection of what could have been
Must vanish for you
so you can see clearer
Letting the world that haunts you grow dim

It's a constant struggle to keep hope alive
Giving it all that you have left
As you try and avoid
all the struggles in life
Where so many years you've laid your head

The pain of the past invades your night
Still being the least of all your fears
Waking up to this
still won't make it right
Until you wake up to the lost years

Take the first step
damnable heresies of the public mouth
spoken with such lack of leisure as to lay to rest
any notion of that we could go home forgiven and rewarded

damnable heresies of the public mouth
it speaks to the common mans basest fears
so to keep it to its brief dance on needle tip
they make us guess at the script of the
publicly performed production

while there it shone with
such dense bright light
to challenge even the sun
in her ancient chariots ride across
the vault of sky
to challenge even the darkest
of leather skinned harlots
whos nightly trek weighs upon them
till their weary eyes shut
and they slip to a dreaming of innocence once again
they dream they are children again
climbing in a world of trees

were it that we were children again
that some shiny trinket
could purchase from the day such
smiles and joys in you
that this darkness would be
forever banished from your life
that you would be reborn
to the warm heart i hold so dear

but it is heresies of the heart to wish such things
and that dear friend is
another poem altogether
It is time now

I am only with myself

no more talking, no words

to say  what is is or isn't

just a slightly higher moment

to confirm whatever I think

over costly drinks we discussed what is was(n't)

but now I am alone with these thoughts

no confirmation, no glory of assertion

merely speculation remains

now I sit here, and write

as if to tell you something you could not hear yourself

everybody under the thumb of another

that's how it is as we sit here

under the fancy world indoctrination of the conflicted fat man

you can judge *** at a glance

in the all-too-human world

shared brides, cultural matter-of-fact

they fold in on themselves and swing to Wednesday and Saturday nights

the dominant pattern is an item in the diet of thoughts

for as long as we have ritualized; who knows how long?

our theater; a mathematical dance of light, sound and spectacle

a pun reeling from it's own absurdity

endless laughter pours out of every theater

together we cannot help but be

a retreat from the brink
these words are filling my head as mere stepping stones
as religion or fiction--where was it written?
veiled in an enigma, locked inside a riddle?
the origin is a bright sun
against which

all is revealed
all is broken
all is redeemed

fallen angel
risen demon

existential monster roaming


told as a story

the looming conflict of history

biological arrangement of supreme intricacy

all a representation of another; a metaphor

takeaway flills

in the same way that the dude is the lower dimensional description of the man

nobody speaks here or ends badly

whyn't we suggest a better one?

it is more easy, more long

About 23 days ago I remembered why I hated December so much.
It was your touch..
It was your eyes.
It was your soft, condescending, beautiful voice.
It was you.
I woke up to snow in the front lawn and I saw dark grey clouds above; it was as if they knew.
Your birthday is in 5 days and every year I used to call you and tell you how much you meant to me but this year.... This year I won't be calling.
See you forgot my birthday.
You forgot how much you cares about me.
Frankly, you forgot about me.
About 23 days ago I remembered how hard this time of year gets for me but I think I'm going to be okay...
Because it's 5  days away from your birthday and I haven't cried.
It's 2 days away from Christmas and I'm still alive.
And it's 1 hour before I pass out and finally get a peaceful night of sleep knowing I'm going to be okay...
I just have to make it through December and the new year and I'll be okay... Life will move on.
