"tosed" poems
The ocean wasn’t blue enough for you
My man of seaweed eyes
And waves would dance and cry for you
But you swam below the surface
I tosed a coin into the well
And you flipped it back to me
A silly game of ask and tell
(I wish we could’ve touched)
The earth wasn’t hard enough for me
The girl with broken lungs
And birds would fly and cry for us
But I hide behind the window
You sent me a bottled message
I tossed it back to you unopened
A silly game of hide and seek
(I wish I could’ve found you)

It's the feeling of still air
of despair--
how it creeps
up
to chill her tongue
and paralyze her legs
into a coma-
tosed state
of routine and a life
lost its shimmer
There's nothing to sparkle,
(no sun to illuminate)
anything
under her covers
and she can't feel
any
warmth
because she is stagnant there,
even past the suns peak
and into the dead
of night
She is stagnant there--
somewhere
where sadness calls her sweet
name.

Bottle tops and plastic bags, cardboard cups and empty wraps.
Silver foil the chocolate gone and Mc Donalds bags blown along.
Dog mess left by lazy owners and cigarette butts tosed and thrown.
The rain so fine it frosts your glasses, the wind blows it and soaks your mac.
Shake dog shake as the rain soaks in, passing freinds as we walk by, the doorman always gives him a pat.
Then pass the noise of the latest gig as we come to where he likes to sit.
A pint of Guinness for his soaken dad and pats and cuddles from all his fans.

tosed and forgoten
bleeding and sodding
decayed and rotting
i Christened the hole
i stuffed you to furment
was it worth your soul
to wallow in torment
all the the sorrow
You dished at leisure
lones to follow
you like a rapid creature
