Drag the full moon
from her slumber
for a midnight noon
we always remember.

You are finally facing
my demons left behind.
I am now facing yours
to whom I've been blind.

I slip out your backdoor
like a drunk love ghost.
Irish leave hurts more
but I always need it most.
I hate forever goodbyes
filled with forever lies.

You broke me in pieces
when you abandoned me
sent to an orphanage
you set yourself free
hopping freight trains
postcards of small love
from places in a granite
heart push comes to shove.
You keep guilt ***** quiet
sleeping in bar lover's beds
dreaming of your life's despair
wake hands shake take meds.

Your golden hair is a halo.
     Heat lightening makes it so.
     Our gravity was lost, we go
     in other orbits. I hear things,
     needle marks, attached strings
     bones turn tricks, cheap flings.
     Still my neon saint at midnight,
     need you from bar stool flight.
     You pass by in our neon light.

******'s sin is mine alone.
  She never knew her power.
  Bubble gum puffy nips
  I desired her perfect flower.

  Her mother died to save her
  but she saved me instead.
  She came to our bed in tears,
  that night she finally bled.

  ****** floats wild on the wind
  her cheap perfume my seduction.
  She died birthing our Mortal sin
  causing my Eden's destruction.

I died last night with
my dead family all
laugh eggnog drunk
I pass through a wall

I remember tiny creases
my cavalcade of strife
scattered puzzle pieces
fragments teasing life.

We all move stiffly around the body
  and whisper gentle sorry for your loss
  while looking for an exit from death to
  join the living with sign of the cross.

I'm done with wedding rings,
babies and any other things
that make me walk the plank,
dead still living in a blank,
still pay interest to the bank.
I die with no one to thank.

I was your tiny prisoner
until I burst on the scene
let me out or I'll escape
by the scalpel into being.

Pull me out of deep water
avoid the lung's slaughter
I love you all it is true
help me as I turn blue
save me from the grave.
I will die land of brave.

Falling in love is wonderful.
Staying in love is impossible.

Spin the wheel and make a bet
where do you land on roulette?
On top you eat Filet Mignon
bottom maggots feast at dawn.

Raised glasses troops back home,
  five dames toasting a new need.
  Maybe tomorrow's no more alone.
  Wombs hoping for a lover's seed.

In a Van Gogh painting
   cheap wine and waiting
   inside our favorite cafe
   out of focus strange day
   swirling forever wars
   madness midnight stars
   satisfy my lust's desire
   quenching passion's fire.
   Morphine in the vein
   quiets my lover's  pain.

Our first boy, boy.
My namesake, boy.
Fetch my tools, boy.
Cry beating belt, boy.
Make me proud, boy.
Ignore my cruelty, boy.
War's killing eats us, boy.
Comes home each night, boy.
Never mind the misery, boy.
She smiled at you, Boy!

I saw a dying brother bleed out.
   I saw a madman **** his flock.
   Parades celebrated the funerals.
   Little boys masquerading as men
   played war. Real men died for mud.
   Loved ones prayed their rosaries.
   No prayers were ever answered on
   our street. Gold stars filled sad
   windows. Widows cried in private.
   They would never dance again.

I plunge my gorged soul
into your rabbit hole
looking for a red queen
perfumed in between
the sexes not binary
a lovely green fairy
smooth and perfumed
Love always doomed.

I remember that time
in dark naked 13th hole
sand trap near our crime
will you still love my soul?
My mind always shivers.
Just believe in our Fate
I dream us in cold rivers.
It will never be too late.

People in relationships
are not half of each other.
We are complete in ourselves.
Just complement each other's
strengths and weaknesses,
when you meet the mothers.

So much potential
fast ball existential
a pitcher's pitcher
going to the Majors
Keep the strike outs
and the fans shouts.
You died unknown,
an overdose alone.

I've looked for you for years.
   Soulmate, where is your shadow?
   I see your black hair and tears
   a Gypsy who will be my maestro.

   We ride lust unbridled in heat.
   Where are you? Are you a lie?
   Is it time to admit our defeat?
   Cross my heart and hope to die.

Brand new elected
big money selected
forget any promises
you made as novices
we own your soul
election we stole.

A full moon
boiling spoon
needle's rush
Van Gogh brush
a starry night
Angel's Flight.

I rent your body for the hour.
I smell your hair and feel you.
I adore all my absolute power
move strings for what you do.
They get hard as I touch them
like my lover's hopeful ****.
******* cut glass play a hymn
as we **** to a ticking clock.

Set my heart on fire.
Melt my chains
with fierce desire.
Cool Love's rains.

Beat Poets

  We're cool and we're hip.
  We're writing everything
  you wish you wrote before.
  We live in attics smoke ****
  and drink cheap wine. We bleed
  Howl and Ginsberg's other tears
  of Corso and Kerouac's seeds
  we Beats have our ***** needs.

Bring me to my Jesus knees
head bowed in prayer's pleas.
Forgive all my everything
I sing praise to your nothing.

She was every kind of beautiful
  that ever was or ever will be.
  More so because she didn't care.
  We floated above the noise
  just us two in bed stars in our eyes
  consuming us numb to all else.

  Jealousy clawed its way back
  into my heart. It always does.
  It ruined every love I ever had.
  I'm old and still don't understand.
  I fear lust's sting. Green eyed
  monster still waits in the wings.

These machines
we call brain
full of pleasure
and full of pain.

I wish I had
a different life
a different husband
a different wife
a different name
and different pets
just not so tame
without regrets.

In this uncertain world
at this imprecise time
I drink shots of Tequila
with slices of lime.

I snorted the atmosphere
from my ******* spoon
blew out the stars at night
then swallowed the moon.

No longer need to pretend.
At noon I smothered the sun
I brought it all to an end.
We fear God. I killed His son.

I'm no longer who
I thought I was,
now I'm just only
who I know I am.

I overpaid my shrink bartenders
who medicated me on many benders
charged by pours instead of hours,
extra for some good time ******.

Gravity seems frail
just a cardboard jail
the moment I die
my soul will fly
weightless,  defy
gravity's true lie.

……..” The chair “…….
It’s a chair, just a chair,
Deep veined mahogany,
Hessian layered,
And filled with hair.
It’s a bed, just a bed,
A book without a binding,
Silently recanting,
Where once lay a head.
It’s a glass, just a glass
But, my God it’s sacred,
Lips once lingered,
Indelible morass.
It’s a frame, just a frame,
Capturing heaven,
Such youthful abandon,
And filled with your name.
It’s a home, just a home,
That became a building,
That become a shrine,
When all alone.
It’s a chair, just a chair,
Of crafted joints,
With sabered legs,
And skillful debonair.
It’s a chair, just a chair,
Utilitarian,
It sits a corner,
Now you’re not there.
Seamus Ginty

I'm not equipped to be an easy love.
I don't know why. Women can be the
nectar I need and ease my aching heart.
Desire is always offered with an
enormous cost that I'm unable to pay.
I try to make a silk purse from a pig's ear.
I give her pearls and lipstick.
Party girls don't want to meet the parents.

AA.
HOA.
School Board.
Praise the Lord.
Peace Talks.
Cancer walks.
Aid's united.
lover excited.

I'm a forgone conclusion
    and an empty promise.
    My words fail to inspire.
    My loves are always lost.
    Trouble always finds me.
    Read between the lines and
    find the real me with you
    in my heart on my sleeve.

I'll take you to my barber.
Introduce you at my club.
Meet my skinny lovers
living it up in my hot tub.

The warriors who died for us
are now absolutely furious
we surrender freedom's flower
as Churchill called the final hour.

Flesh touches flesh.
Fierce hungry rush
brings me back alive
from my bold suicide.
I need more than this.
First time, first kiss.

Touch, nothing more than touch
  can bring me to my knees. Touch
  I feel your nylon thighs. Touch
  I'm in your stratosphere born
  once again. Touch me there and
  make this last a lifetime. Touch.

Can you hear the mighty roar
of the angry noise of war?
UN troops go door to door.
Steal from rich. Give to poor.
Billionaires demand justice
not for them, but just for us.

I was dragged to a whipping post
    ******* desperate for salvation.
    Coat my tongue with the devil's
    blood 'til I'm moved to creation.

Please don't shame me.
I beg you to tame me.
Trick the horrible *****
the black magic witch.
Dance me to the flame
warm without blame
happy endings again
dance me to lust's end.

I drove me to the corner
with an oversized *****.
She's a camouflage lover.
I wear bullet proof rubber.
We pretend love in Motel 6.
I sleep. She goes for a fix.
I buy her eggs and a waffle.
Our love was really awful.

Desperate drowning lovers
I walk along reaching hands
like Christ across the water
boys are toys buried in sands.

Hold my wife in my old arms
kiss her hair touch her charms
   I want to make her ******.
Remembering our first time sin.
