Death is stalking me.
It watches me play cards,
smoke cigarettes, and
drink beer.
It took my parents, two
brothers, and all my friends.
It got Chris last week.
20 bottles of whiskey in
seven days, I suppose that
would **** anyone.
They found him on the
railroad tracks.
Death is stalking me.
I won't cheat it.
I won't escape it;
but before it gets me,
I bet I finish
this poem.

We've come to tell you
We've fallen in love
She's going away with me
We respect you too much
To leave you hanging
You've done so much
But this is farewell
We've fallen in love.

What could I say?
"Thank you
Thank you
Thank you
You've saved my life
Goodbye
Goodbye
I'll see you again sometime
perhaps
Somewhere down the road."

We're naked in you car baby
Driving slow
Are we're doing this or not baby?
Let me know
We're losing heat and losing fast lately
I'm getting cold
If we're nothing take the next bend drop me at home

WILLIAM WORTHLESS
guns they fire planes they roar
soldiers fight to win the war
bombs are dropping all around
as they explode along the ground

lives are lost and people cry
lives so young that have to die
giving life to fight the cause
to live in peace with no more wars

On Sunday, I scoured
the skin from my
dining room table.

I smeared a sunset
to cover the scars

and in the fading light,
slanted by my living room
shades, it smiled at me
through a gap-toothed grin.

Upcoming alarm on my phone
  All I have to do is push
       Dismiss
The signal sounds and I'm prepared to move forward or snooze
DO I risk moving on
Or catching zzzz's
Will it really make a difference
I've been  forewarned
The answer ahead
    Relies on me

Three words beginning with L, starts as a grand story to tell

Break your demons for all things that matter

Lust, love and it is always the latter
For everyone fighting back against their demons and the ones yet to do so
