The plans are everywhere. How to
   live the American Dream. Be born
   on her soil in projects or mansions.
   Tame your anger like a stallion and
   ride it hard chasing the dream forever
   until you rope and tie it. Live it.

These nuthouses are full of
   sad stories. My heart bleeds for
   our circumstance. Sad is all.
   When they asked about you I said
   she's right as rain, a perfect wife.
   They said you were dead.  They lied
   and put me in a room full of dark.
   Bury her in my shadow if you find it.

I was obsessed with you back then.
I can't remember your naked body
or eyes or voice that was music or
your fragrance or thighs and all.
You're a lovely piece of memory.
I miss the rest of you. I loved you.

I'm your king.
I wear your crown of thorns.
My throne is broken hearts.
My scepter is lovers' lies.
I wear a robe of bruises.
My kingdom is your heartbeat.

Where are the accolades?
One more beer and I'm Yeats.
Another **** I'll be Frost.
If I die on tour in NYC I'm Dylan.

I was searching for TP at Walmart.
I turned into the frozen aisle and my
heart told me this woman in this flowing
revealing dress was the reason I was born.
Sometimes you fall in love in an instant. It happened twice so far.
Acme Mar 2020
Life is indifferent to our pain.
It weaves too many tales to know
when our heart breaks or pet dies.
You care about me. I care about you.
We're small gods on our tiny altars.
We share tears and laughter and grave.
