When I was  
younger,
I had to learn
sit and wait to  
write.  
I  would get
impatient and force it.
If you read it,
you could tell.
Now I’m quite a bit older, and
I quit trying.
Fodder seems to be  
everywhere.
I can write about
the most mundane
things.
Today I’m at the  
library waiting for my
girlfriend to
finish up at the dentist.
She’s getting her  
teeth cleaned.
All my drinking ruined  
my teeth.
When I got them  
pulled a year ago,
there wasn’t a  
good tooth in my head.
I have dentures now, so
I don’t have to  
worry about how much I drink.
I know this isn’t a
very good poem, but
hey,
there she is
all shiny and bright…  
and sober.

Here's a link to my you tube channel where I read from my recent book, Seedy Town Blues Colled Poems, available on Amazon.com.

Once In awhile
I’d take
A Long  ROAD drive
TO nowhere
So that I could
HAVE a conversation
With THE three KINGS
SITTING at the THRONE
ME
MYSELF
AND
I
TO WORKOUT my mind
TO FEEL GOOD.
TO BE STRONG.
To get deeper into the abyss
Of the monster’s SKULL
To travel to another world
To see different perspectives
TO BE MINDFUL
TO STAND TALLER.
BECAUSE I WANT TO
TO BE HEALTHY minded
TO EMBRACE HOW HOT, ****, CONFIDENT,
POWERFUL, & FABULOUS The mind can be
FOR MY MIND. FOR MY SOUL. FOR MY BODY.
FOR MYSELF and OTHERS in needs
TO LOOK at the man in the mirror and SET AN EXAMPLE.
TO PROVE TO MYSELF THAT I CAN DO
ANYTHING.
I CAN fly
I can Swim
TO SEE IF THE WORLD IS REALLY MINE
BECAUSEI DESERVE IT.
BECAUSE I CARE.
BECAUSEI COME FIRST.
BECAUSE I LOVE MYSELF.
BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT I Need
That’s what I am that’s what I want
BECAUSE I CAN

BECAUSE
ONCE,
I  COULDN’T………

there are times where you feel so tired
you just need to shut yourself away
slip on your headphones
hearing nothing else but your music
taking some time away for yourself
being a little selfish
and stealing away a little time
so you can rest
and relax
and recoup
You and I are alike
Maybe we all are
Innately human
Whatever that is
For good or ill
Humans have
Demons
We are alike in our demons
However different they may be
