Mr. Fantasy always breaking the rules
collecting glass frame butterfly fools.
We flutter and preen colors of rainbows
killed pristine pinned in perfect rows.

I was supreme and all knowing.
You hovered beneath my sun and moon
and adored my sacred creation.
You cursed me in famine and sung
hymns to me in bountiful times.
Karl Heinrich Marx broke me and
killed America and freedom and
his minions imprison us today.

I'm just one in a million
broken heart gazillion.
I just ache never bleed
burning for your need.

Lover's fingers on ivory keys
play moving music all about
broken vows on bent knees.
Sowing Love's forever doubt.

Priced as marked or best offer.
    Some damaged more than others.
    A small tear
    a workplace affair
    a bigger tear
    a torrid affair with broken promises
    devastated barely pumps
    he always cheated and blamed her
    blown out selling for parts
    he betrayed and took the kids
    she overdosed and stabbed her heart
    for good measure. Tears roll down
    but can never make things right.
    Make an offer after all why not?

At 5 I broke my leg.
At 12 a girl
broke my heart.
At 18 I broke apart
everything for Love
set adrift at start.
Drowned and burned
to death I turned
around my own sun
another day of fun
searching for Eden
rebirth in a garden.

I was 5
insecure
living
not sure
dad was
war torn
bomber
reborn
in flak
no way back.
PTSD
what it be
a misery
die me free
if only
it'd be.

It eats us up and spits us out.
Life is God's broken machine
addicts prostitutes for drugs.
Will we be able to get clean?

I need a needle to feel numb.
We all walk with the wounded
we die inside no man's land
always felt like we intruded.

Break wind, break promises,
break hearts but never ever
break Sacred Marriage Vows!
All the gods will have cows...
All kittens will die I swear on a
bible made in communist China.

I try to write my life in poems
but my words are never right.
They don't fit together
all they seem to do is fight.
My poetry is obituaries of
old loves turned to stone
once this broken poet
knew he'd die alone.

I harbor a sadness in my heart
I wish I could destroy but time
stops before it has time to start.
It's gravity heavy in my own bed
with God's fierce sinner's weight
I broke my vows we wed now dead.

Just leaking sin
my broken skin
a hundred *****
a couple of stunts.
Saturday confession
I never learn a lesson.
I'll try again Saturday
in hayloft get my way.
Linda Hotze  please,
give me your cheese.

He cheated on his wife
and three children
broken family done
a million times.
Ken is a little man
turning the kids
against his wife
to swear in court
he was a victim
of mamma.
He has no honor
no honesty.
I've been there.
It will end badly.

The war was won the men came home
   broke but ready to fill the cradles
   and cry on the shoulders that matter
   and smell of the remembered perfume.
   They spent the venom into wombs to
   bring corpses back from ugly death.

Sew my lips shut
  pluck my eyes out
  fill my ears with lies
  truth becomes doubt
  swarmed by death flies
  hear my silent shout.

Protect my beating heart
from being torn apart
by love's broke promise
sealed with that last kiss.
Your taste always lingers
in my hair and fingers.

Somewhere, some place, some time.
We ****** in love's innocent shadow
hiding our true nature in this rhyme
unable to avoid the promised sorrow
my guilt followed in my broke vows.
Love is a keeper of fragile hearts
unable to silence my animal howls
we ****** in innocence from the start.

I needed honesty at last and
walk out of the bathroom naked
jaws drop eyes shock me  in a cocoon
of truth condemned now I'm free.
I broke sacred vows and my kids
and turned into a statue of salt.

I put the tent
on hot cement
where we never went
Jesus moves hell scent
cools our sins spent
praise our pain's sweat.

Kids next door have
machines that make
bubbles. They create
bubble *****  to take
the world by bubble.
Cute imps of trouble.

Rough edged saw of a man.
What a way with words you had.
Blue collar barfly a smoke in lips
put us all in the places we know,
where we feel comfort after all.
Our uncles smell of ***** and
aunts always favor aperitifs
in the afternoons then naps.
Being honest we all crawl in
bars when things fall apart and
we just need comfort of friends
we just met that very day.

There we were sitting on bar stools
side by side and talking about women
and the way they smell. Some earthy and
some flowers and some like stale *****.
We told sick jokes and remembered good
old days when men were fierce and girls
were gentle and tamed their beasts.
We parted. He paid my tab. Yellow teeth.
I remember his laugh. It was sincere.
I stumbled out drunk but he walked sober.

I sleep tonight inside
a grave of my creation.
So cold no way to hide
silent the dead nation.

The body is buried
the life lived carried
to dumpster on a street
trash the shell's defeat.

I died as expected
floated above me
lost my old body
my soul came to be
Hallelujah again
I felt nothing
buried in a womb
I was something.

I die in midnight's tick.
  With pennies in my eyes
  I'm buried in a tomb.
  The mourners under water
  are baptized by the dead.
  I'm buried in a womb.
  Water breaks, sets me free.
  I'm born again into light.

Youth's arrogance gone now,
life's hard lessons learned.
Nothing is ever owed to me.
Everything I have is earned.
I had many friendly bridges
but every **** one I burned.

The summer of love broke vows
choked promises from our throats.
I grew my hair and quit robot jobs.
I wore carpenter jeans and earth shoes.
I ****** and called it love and loved
and called it *******. I always left.

I've known you for years. Grandpa introduced us.
    You always made the room glow and laughter flow.
    You calmed me when I betrayed those I promised
    to never betray. You made me smarter than I was
    and clever when I was dull and modest when clever.
    There's always a madness in the air when you grace
    us with your presence. Thing is you make me ugly.
    I dance on tables with lamp shades on my head and
    drop my pants invite kiss my *** in a full moon.
    I plan your funeral. I bury you in a potter's field.
    I've tried burying you before. Like Christ you rise.
    I put a stake in your heart and salt on your grave.
    You refuse to be banished from the lives we live.
    Maybe you'll stay buried beside me in my grave.

    I plan your funeral. I bury you in a potter's field.

    You refuse to be banished from the lives we live.
    Maybe you'll stay buried inside me in my grave.

When I up and die
bury me in the sky.
Bury me in the shade
of the tree we made.
Bury me in a tomb
forever in the womb.
Bury me in your heart.
The end is just a start.

I'm ancient
my life
packed neat
in boxes
in the attic
by my wife
just waiting
for last breath
and my burial
in our plot.
Send the lot
to Goodwill
to be forgot.

I strum and croon among the dead.
     My guitar case open for some gold.
     I used to play at subway stops, but
     I hated the feeling of being sold.
     I'm free among the dearly departed
     who must've had doubts same as me
     and hold them close in death's hole.
     Dance to my music, let it set you free.

Drunk we ****** after work
in your car. You drove me home.
I told my wife the bus was broke.
Your perfume screamed I roam.

I'm a beat up old dog.
My name is Buster.
I think I'm 84 in your years.
I have stories would curl your toes!
I've had good luck and bad.
I've been with lovely *******
and ******* from hell.
I limp from a go cart incident
but I refuse to let it define me.
I've known cruelty and kindness.
I hope for a painless death
and fair judgement in the end.

The ****** pooled their money
given the judge for his honey
to allow for all proper society
to recognize their re-virginity.

Bomber shadow overhead
   to shelters rue the day
   we forgot our lost dead,
   fear black bird of prey.

   Pregnant with fire death
   steal your air and laugh
   as you die seeking breath
   think of that photograph.

Always fighting over bones
huge dark wings cast shadows
over death's tasty aftermath.
Reporters crawling ants look
for missed bits to sow doubt
and leave truth unrecognized.

We circle the sky above you
as you die in your own *****
numb with a needle in a vein.
We eat the dead leaving bones
for proper burial and salutes.
The flag buried made in China.

I try drawing you from  old memories
   but can't get your eyes right. I don't see
   the body that destroyed my earnest vows.
   I can't feel your warm young ******* and
   ******* that grew so hard by my caress.
   I can't see us dancing naked in the dark.

I'll come for you
I bring a bottle
and ****** or two
loosen the throttle
set fire to the bed
sleep in splendid ash
wake you give me head
I always pay with cash.

In a moment too small to measure
  my world was reinvented. I moved
  among a universe, not planet earth.
  Physical didn't matter, it was Sense!

  There were no clocks, no walls, no people.
  Thought was bigger than I'd ever known.
  I was floating in absolute, ironclad peace.
  Nothing and Everything are the same here.

  No pharmacies, no need for doctors or nurses.
  Anxiety is a quaint notion from long ago.
  We exist in absolute moments. Forget space.
  I am forever God's eye of indifference.

Is anybody out there?
I'm lost and need heroes.
Who can send a savior?
Where are my prayers answered?
I hear static and need clarity.
Christ crawl down your cross
and touch my desperation
and save me from myself.

The Altar boy
a priestly toy
drink blood of Christ
to break the ice
don't think twice
it will all feel nice
just call me Dad
don't make me mad.

That day was so long ago
memory is vague shadows
quiet whispers in the snow
prayers for the widows
tears for Canaries caged
as the coal mine raged.

It's always the same answer.
Whats wrong do you know?
Just rare expensive cancer.
Best chance killer chemo,
a snake charmer dancer
or a card from the Tarot.

Gangs of doctors a
hundred patients deep,
cancer is the currency
dying in their sleep.
We don't make promises.
We ask your permission.
Sign the waiver. There's
no cure maybe remission?
Promise us that you'll
always take your pill.
Most importantly arrange for
loved ones to pay your final bill.
