"besided" poems
I don't wanna choose
I have not yet decided
But what if one day
The people need provided
A savior in need
A hero confided
Do I have what it takes
With the doubt subsided
When I fail
When I've misguided
All the people
Had to've abided
A heroine fake
A heroine strided
No longer a leader
But placed besided
Step down the throne
Step down to the floor
My place atop
Was too much a chore
Too much to handle
Too much to adore
Have not what it takes
To stand up for
For all the people
For all the deplore
I have now decided
Not to choose anymore

another mourning morning, usual signs of warning,
wanted to wash away the distress signs of no sleep,
turned on the tap, out came only troubled waters,
my only friend, the voice from the mirror, pretending
to be coming from me, speaking: Oh Lord, Oh Lord!
*is there no surcease for me, somewhere, can I find,
little bites, small plates, pieces of peace, the kind
of kindness that eases, repairs the dividers of mind,
the country stone fences that been growing wilder,
when, troubled child of 10, window breaking, beyond
youthful mischievousness, evil streaked, so deemed*
Give me a boat, give me a bridge, give me a road, a home,
one of those things poets, songwriters about, wax lyrical,
Oh Lord, give me time, 45 seconds, even two or three,
Being strong, being confident, am I not entitled to that,
a boat, sturdy mast, cause sailing from storm to storm,
just glimpsing dry land, is that too much, a pale beyond?
love, nah, a bridge too far, not even on the menu, not blinded,
I am off key, not well enough, between the peaks between,
*I am out of sync, bubbling discombobulated, a **** besided, behind,
lend me a finger, not even a hand, a kernel, not even a cob,
a string, forget a rope, a washcloth to bathe and dry,*
lay me down, lay me down, to live, even just not dying.

Forced entry..
Seen you like a sentry when you met me
Hit me like a tempt tree, will you let me?
Can i ask for more?
My judgments poor..
Forbidden fruit in your touch like an Apple Store.
Commodities i can't afford
But i'll take it..
And you come oddly towards me like you might speak
forth with a tongue that's forked..
With just a taste i am delighted,
Ignorance enlightened,
Privilege provided,
With myself besided,
..........empty
