sometimes I feel like drowning

she told him
fingers threaded through his

how come?

He lets his gaze fall to hers
ocean meeting river

she lets go of his fingers

because this life is just a short horror
story

he hesitates
she looks away
hands in pockets rather than
intertwined

you say that when you know
that's not true, my rabbit girl.


he turns her towards him
face to face, even when her silent
epiphanies have woken her tears

he kisses her
tears sweet as sadness

I love you more than the salty
ocean waves


a quick, lightning glance from
a weeping river

it's about time darling
we've got to let this go*

he hesitates
a startled lion once more

it's like when you said
that you could not grind your own
skull into the ocean
The prequel of sorts to my poem "sour sweet".

Forgive me, but i dont love you
the way you wish
the fear of breaking your heart
is far to strong to
make it more than a secret
my heart is still weak from my last
...and bringing up love causes me to shy away
Believe me you are kind
but i cant satisfy what your  asking of me.
i can not make my heart feel something it wont
even though i wish i could...
if only i could forget my feelings
as easy as forgetting other things
i wish my feelings for him would just fade
like a bruise..
i'm driving myself insane trying to convince
myself that he is easy to get over,
if only it could be as easy as they tell it in the books i read..
please don't run away..
forgive me
The weekend was great the time away was brill, I hired me a cowboy builder to make me something durable.

I turned on the lights to see such a mess with only half made structures and an old feather bed.

I looked up and up and saw I was down a roof. So I orded one a new. A big clear dome to be set up on top.

Stepping around dodging dirt, earth and such. What a lovely site to see it just scatted as such. The rains had been bad, hitting long, hard and fast but lucky for me as my pond was now topped.

I looked around and thought ''hey this place would look good if I set up a ball'' , so out came my disco set, lights. Whistles and bells galore.

As I looked ever closer I spotted thier was nests, bugs, creepy crawly things  all manner of other beings living in, out and around my house.

But now my place looked good all it needed was friends, so out went the call for fun times for all. So it started with one, then two and before we knew it was brimming with tons

I woke up in bed all bruised and sore. Thinking ''what a night that was'' then I  sat up and swore as I imagined the bill.
Messenger of Eros
Fallen from Grace
Perfect spirit, perfect face
Perfect in your imperfection
Your laugh an ******
Trapped in a drug driven haze
Looking back at the days
Before I found Eden
And I knew from the start
I was carving my own coffin
But it was all out or all in
And now I bury my Mr. Hyde
So absolute in his ways
With his world of black and white
He seemed to have lost this fight
To Mistress Eve
Alas, the Light's come on
I knew it all along
And all I have to say
Is that old Snake better stay away
Go,
Go as far as stumps will take you
Shoot for the stars like a kamikaze
Follow dreams before they become cadavers
Fall in love like you have no organs
I'll speak to you in beautiful tongues
And you'll believe in every word
So ambitious with with your love
You gave to me so naked
So trusting that my intentions are  pure
Baby boy I'll give you my full attention  
But only for the few hours called night
Will be so high on lust
smother our Senses with each others body's  
Just another night for me
Will be a night that haunts your every thought
You'll fall for me just as I'm leaving
You'll forever try to find a piece of me in every girl
But you never will
Your boys will tell you they warned you
You'll tell them they don't understand
But they do in deep depths
Cause your not the only one I gave my poison to
Light is more important than the lantern,
The poem more important than the notebook,
And the kiss more important than the lips.
My letters to you
Are greater and more important than both of us.
The are the only documents
Where people will discover
Your beauty
And my madness.
Monmas boy!          You gonna cry?
Yes ...

because I'm stronger than you

I'm not afraid like you

I have feelings unlike you

tears don't make me weak
and loving my momma
makes me no less of a man

I'm not crying cause you hurt me
I'm crying because the one in pain is you

Too afraid to show emotion

How will you ever truly love
or welcome home your new born child

if you're trying too hard to be the man

your father


Made you


Be.

and I am drinking the wine I bought for you,
and never gave you.
I am watching the flowers
I never gave you, wilt.

I said I would love you,
no matter what.
I meant it, then.

I still do,
but you do not know that.

The windows are open in the sunroom,
where you never sat.

I am slowly becoming more comfortable
being without you.

Slowly.
