"loveletter" poems
I wrote a loveletter to my ghost
I hope this finds you fine
Don't brush me off yet
I hope you kept that smile
The scars that grazed past my skin
They were my momentos
Hover over my loved ones
Be a guardian Angel
And when they ask about me
Or their hearts shatter
Because of our memories
Remind them to hang on
The good times
Make the lights flicker
Or shake the granny clock
On our chipped wall in the living room
That's the language of the ghosts
Ain't it?

Here I am, penning verses that paint vibrant images
Expressing my yearning through ostentatious displays
But do these efforts impinge upon -- even in the slightest --
The twisted fate we have been endowed?
I do not like to think this is all for naught

WELCOME TO THE MOON
THE COWBOY says as he walks into one more bar before heading further west
He sits down at the bar in the Bronx and laments the sorry state of
LOVE and her love the POET
How small and sickly they've become, he groans
He tips the brim of his hat further downward to spy a couple sipping wine
The MAN and WOMAN
Who finally discover the seriousness they need to chase out all of the monsters and ignorant ghosts that are invisible and chew
THE COWBOY rocks back in the stool to contemplate the unrequited love of a LONELY IMPULSE OF DELIGHT he remembers a womangirl who couldonly see one side of him and so gave him THE RED COAT so he wouldn't forget the importance of child hood to a freeman.
BETSY walks in
and he bids her a

Every breath, a weight
on my chest, reluctantly
comes, being chased
only by my
quickening pulse.
A knife slips between
my ribs and with
every word that passes over my lips, it
twists.
A silent scream is trapped
behind my teeth.
Butterflies with knives
are cutting up
my insides.
Found poem from Automatic Loveletter's song "Butterflies"

when I'm with you I don't need wings to fly
you take me up a mountain of emotion so high
that if I'd fall 10 feet I'd still be in a blue sky
you make me feel feelings I've never felt
relive a thousand memories even those that didn't happen yet
I see, I smell, I cry and I smile
you write out my sensation in a manuscript of melody and rhymes
when I don't have the words
you are joy, peace and all the things worth
attention in this world
God's gift
looksmith of my heart
if I didn't have you I'd fall apart
when I feel most alive, feel like I want to die
you play the sweetest melodies to me
you have always , all the time
and after all these lines I wrote for you
I'm still lacking words to describe my love for you
because it's everything
and I'm nothing without you
they ask me hearing or seeing what do you choose?
such an easy question.
what could be more beautiful to look at
than listing to you.

11/7/12
Swaying back and forth
Trees almost dance as they greet one another
And then, millions of leaves rustle
Trying to tell me that they haven't forgotten me
Sounding like a waterfall
These great trees could be waterfalls in another world
One where not one sould has seen water
And the gold, red and orange find their way towards me
Loveletter after loveletter transcending to me

But how I loved you
I loved you with the heat
And the drive
And the mania
Of a dry brush fire
The loss of life was tragic

late at night
consciousness abates
the pen enters me
injecting black ink
becoming my blood
I spit black words
staining paper
with my soul
everything that is me
exposed to your eyes
I want you to know me
intuitively
so you never
have to
question me again
