Swim away with me deep down under
to a place where all my thoughts gather
A ruthless torrent of pain and anger
A trench of sorrows and endless hunger

The eternal pit of restless slumber
Of broken songs in deep dark water
Where pain stops when fear take-over
Drown with me in this heedless stupor

The tabs of my mind
miss your fingers
skimming through them
index first
middle next
till you find yourself
running till you
find
thoughts of
you

A distant invitation...
sparks!
Gently kiss the white and opal.
Sighs and grunts
appeal to a wonder.
Orifice now upward and ponder...
how far and sweet, the taste now bleeding.
To stay a foot now and yonder
Why resist the open infraction...
the wine spills yet no reaction.
Too late to ask.. why bother?!

And I, my person
Will never stop singing
poetry about you.
You are my Her, Red
the passion
the stroke of my pen
the ink to my veins
And I knew no art
but I  persevered
to draw your everything
in my head, my being
so when I close  my eyes
you are my dream
and I wake up again
because you are my present.

The best mug in the cabinet
Sits on the middle shelf
Everyone always grabs it
Rarely left to itself
The handle fits perfect
Though increasingly worn
Held in palms to reflect
With liquid so warm
A once beautiful design now a chipped away after thought

The feelings I feel are so confusing to me
No matter what I do I can't make them leave
They hit me and yell and scratch till I bleed
Always around, bringing me to my knees
I feel them in my skin, they buzz in my brain
Mentally I'm in the street laid out in the rain
They rip out my nails and tap dents in my collar bones,
Force me back to my room where I just lay all alone,
Darken my eyes, drain the color from my face
The creature now in the mirror I look at with disgrace
And I can't make it stop
And I don't know that I want too
A feeling is a feeling
I should be grateful to feel at all
I've learned the facts, and met the Truth and put my faith in Him. I have the tracts, and feel the urge to go out and evangelize. But without a car, or a bicycle I'm a bit limited right now. Though there's always a way to get the Word out, even at home, one can figure out how. My ministry might not be of huge size but His Word never returns void. So I try to be patient, and not be annoyed. But I'm a relatively isolated fellow, and have a photographer's eye, so I feel alone in life though I know I'm not. And miss the times I used to go, on a whim, to a particular place that I had sighted earlier and planned to later take a special trip and photograph the awesome beauty. I don't understand how anyone could not realize that the universe (one-word) was spoken into existence by our Creator. But not everyone has eyes to see. I appreciate His creation, and often wish I had someone around who shares my interests. But the things that I try to accomplish often fail, so I'm just waiting on Him. If it be what He wills for me...that, I would love. But I've learned that His timing is conceived up above. So I just hang in there and listen to Him. Resting in the knowledge that in Christ we win.
I don't write a lotta poetry, or prose-poetry, but when I do, it's sincere. In my opinion, I wrote a paragraph that doesn't rhyme, not in any iambic pentameter, or regular cadence that I can spot consistantly. It wasn't actually meant to rhyme. And I wrote it more or less to help me process thoughts. I hope you get something, no matter how small outta this. I want folks to enjoy something. Especially if I wrote it. Though I wouldn't be so naive as to expect most folks to enjoy or glean something from everything I write. So, peace be with you. ✌️

my urge to pop a
child's
balloon
and watch them cry
as i laugh
is
overwhelming

it's on par with my urge
to shove
a knife in my throat
just to
see
what happens

how morbid. i know

but aren't we all?
