Can you imagine my surprise
When I woke up with thunder thighs

I looked in my mirror and
It gave me back a knowing grin

Hard and heavy the diet days
And all of my sweet tooth chocolate craves

Knowing what's  in front of me
Makes this fat boy wanna scream

So I check out the internet
To find the perfect diet yet

        Lets see......

***** injections from a pregnant babe
That seems to be the latest craze

How about this bubble wrap
I just might be down with that

Who is there to really say
Which pill and how many I should take

One that sympathizes with the way I feel
While feeding me pint size starvation meals

Here's one guaranteed to clean my clock
While the next ten days I'm on the toilet docked

This is funny...try and eat more sensibly
That's like a foreign language to me

Get your daily exercise
Obviously written by some wise guy

Goes to prove just what I've heard
On the internet don't believe every word

How about the Himalayan soft cheese wrap
The secrets in the cheese to squeeze off the fat

Or I could go the Hollywood way
Have it ****** out and back to eating in one day

There are so many options here
It's hard to know which way to steer

As my options all expand
Think I'll just go buy elastic waist band pants

And learn to enjoy in my own eyes
The fact that I have thunder thighs

Today I feel F A T
but I know that it is just
the shorts I'm wearing.

Maybe tomorrow
I will feel skinny again.
Who really knows though.

One day I want to
come home with a message of
your voice on my phone.

'Hey hi, you. I am
coming to see you tonight.
Leave a light on please.'

I will go grocery
shopping while I wait for you
while you're on the train.

I'll buy all of your
favorites. I will make you
dinner on your walk.

When you reach my door,
I will open it before
you can even knock.

I will pull you in,
embracing you lovingly
in my waiting arms.

My apartment will
quickly fill with the heavy
scent of your warm skin.

You will look around
and see the dinner set out
for you. A slow smile.

We haven't said a
word yet. We haven't needed
to. Silence is bliss.

Your eyes supply words
enough.  Those looks you give me
are most genuine.

We dine.  We drink. We
love. Your hand pulls mine across
the table, so warm.

Not just warm. No. Wait.
Electric. That's what it is.
Our touch. Electric.

That's all we really
ever needed. Each other.
But it took so long.

One day you will see
that. You will see you were blind.
You needed time though.

But now I have you.
You are mine. We are safe now.
Forever. *One day.

Sir B
Come.
Reside in me.
There is a void here.
There is no life here.
The doors are completely open.
But I don't remember keeping them open for you..

With your face covered in darkness
It is unforeseeable to look at my future
And yet.
You stand tall with your sword
On your left side.

You are not welcome here.
Thanathos
I never said I desire death.
Though I do, inside my head.
So leave.
Now.
A poem for those who think I am on the verge of self destruction, there is hope. I haven't committed to it, yet...
