I want to share my life with you forever,
Our heart's
Beating together
And hold you in my arms
And been truly in
Love with you forever..
True Love

You are half a world away
but you still make my heart flutter.

She has that
reptilian heart, snake eyes-
cat screeching, rabid anger.
Whenever she's close to
me, I need sedation;
another world-one with
beauty and love.
Hers is a land of
brutality and hatred.
It makes my
soul *****.
When I'm lucky enough to
escape, she finds me, and
lures me back with her
charms and spells.
Then, it's back to the
cage, waiting to be
consumed.
She quit doing drugs.
Her dope now is
control.
It's the dragon that
she rides to hell.

you once told me your sign.
i quickly searched
if ours were aligned.
everytime it did, i sigh
and everytime it didn't,
i made ways for it to be.

maybe that's what held us—
the only thing that held us.
my eagerness to keep you
but you always slip away.

in the end,
you're a just a comet that
passed me by.

I sent poems to my brother
Sent poems to my girlfriend

I know they think I'm strange
But I have stranger been

Shakespeare in Staunton
Rene Thornton's voice

The statue in Dublin
Of wordsmith Mr. Joyce

Today I miss my children
I lie here all alone

Why do I keep writing?
Unsure, unclear, unknown

Why am I so drawn
To the true blue Twilight Zone?

people fight
over you but

I like to think
of you as

a place to crash

the smell
of sweat

lingers

like a
panther

extinguishing
light

penetrating
night

another
victim­

succumbs
to desire

the deadly
sweet

the ever
lasting

there are
no drugs

strong as
this addiction

Atheism: a very persuasive response
To the Night.

Faith: Silent, mystic flight

Can both be right?
