"sured" poems
what is it to be 40
twice the man, you were at twenty?
four times the man, you were at ten?
is it being wiser
and having your means meet the end?
finances sured up?
with no need, for to be the miser
a divorce or some
perhaps a strong marriage
polyamorous loves
to your heart's desire
addictions? vices? troubles stifling?
death breathing down your neck
to the thumping of your heartbeat
beads of sweat, gather
and run off your chest
like your shoes on the concrete
you are dying
even while you're living
and you know one day
it'll be your last
cause we only get so long
and time goes fast
a baby is born
the next afternoon
an old man is buried
tomorrow could never come
would you ever know it?

i might not give a ****
it doesnt mean i dont understand
everyone has troubles some like is sured double
the hurt is real but dont let it dictate faith
dont not become or do everything you oppose
never let evil close your heart
after being hurt start over youll be alright
one night you figure out it gets old
your tired of living with cold feelings
change begins within you
keep fighting even if you dont win

Gulf winds , carve thy signature across the open plains ...
Unto granite exposures , across the mighty Water Oaks of antiquity ..
Carry thy burden across Appalachian hills , over sandstone shore
and cotton field ...
Hold rare flocks of Starling in thy sured grasp and nurturing ways , usher the cool winds of Autumn on brilliant October days ...
Bring forth the scented air of Gardenia and Magnolia , the pollen of Chestnut Tree and Peach blossom ...
Calm the farm fires of November with captaincy and vigor , return Mother Georgia in May to her lush , Summer splendor ....

a wind of old nails
broken stones
the sky a guilt of rain
all these stunted trees
grasp over wet moss
seagulls are unborn children
that cry over the tundra
this is the end of a measured world
this is the e nd ofa mea sured wor ld

Why must I stand here holding my heart while each drop of myself crashes to the floor?
The frenzied madness of my mind can't keep up with the mess.
Out of breath, out of time.
Why must I stand here holding my heart while I long to be whole and one with my soul?
The memories plunge the depths of years past when only for a moment our love lasts.
A thoughtful glance, a sured reach for my hand.
Why must I stand here holding my heart when it only longs to be held..by you?
Then I look and see you holding yours too.
