In the dark
Quiet sparks
Wee hours,
Of the night
lack of sleep
I fight

While millions sleep
My mind
floods
Thoughts,
Words seep

You simply can't shut,
Your brain down
Quieting the mind,
Only comes from  
Writing time

Only when,
All that must come out
Has come through,
Satisfying without a doubt
greatest peace I ever knew

Love of my life  
His beloved wife
He barks
I bite
bickering  never ends
I try to smile
pretend
Married  to my best
friend
what happened to us?
The next day
I write a note
let’s start again
try to make amends
inevitably
His endless
Drinking
wins the day
nothing
else to say
what was I
thinking!
The warning
lights
are blinking
Every night
another vicious
Fight
  cycle repeat
neither one
will retreat
He in his room
I in mine
Is this how
we will spend
  the end of
Time?
What happened to
Until  death, do we part
To our hearts
To love, honor, cherish
Did our love parish
are we  blind
Each path
we walk
alone
in silence we reflect
atone
what will we find
this is his
that is mine
can we possibly
rewind?
Hoping to find the love
we once knew
When two hearts came together
we grew
The love we both knew
Perhaps
we need to take
the road less
traveled
I’m willing to
TRY
no more tears
Do
I
CRY

Even

A                     Tiny

Flea

Can                                 Drive

A          Big.       Dog

CRAZY

Whether a comma, or colon:
Punctuation slows my rolling
I need no period. When I end
no Capitalization when I begin
Rulelessly I flow my art
  Not a single!
Exclamation mark
Are you not the one
Who'll know?
Where a question mark
No longer goes

Warp the structure
Bend the lines
Put in repeat
Let emotion unwind
Make yourself
Your poetry's the best
Be your own ruler
Pass your own test

Take your own road
Where ever it leads
Lover or hater
It's all poetry!
