Sometimes, I yearn to be a cat,
To bat the globe with playful paws, like pinball arms,
And unravel the world's intricate threads, a ball of yarn unwound.
Oh, to truly grasp the inner workings,
The tragic beauty of this masterpiece.

An unburdening of scars
Letting deep wounds stain the page
In all of its black silt and tar,
So the soul can feel the comfort of a new day.
That is poetry.
I may post a longer version of this someday but it says all it needs to say.
Damocles Jul 18
The bridges I build
Are of wick and candle wax slick
And I’ll dare you to climb,
Like the flames inside.
Rise above the flame
Damocles Jul 18
Let’s not pretend
That's in the back of your mind
In the darkest rooms you visit
Or the dead of night
You’re not trembling.

For the monster under your bed,
Is the one lurking behind the mirror
And every day you give up,
Its image becomes clearer.
We all have dark sides; some of us flirt with them more than others, yet fear what's on the other side of that. Universal Monsters (Wolfman, Dracula, the Mummy, to name a few) all taught us these lessons, we were too busy eating popcorn to listen.

no damning good
cramming the skies      with medals and detail
best of our history    we began a weak century

I have so many daggers put in my back
That trusting another soul is profoundly insane
I expect you will ****** in yet another blade.
I wonder, what can one sew with the pins in my spine
If I gave you threads of honesty in every produced line?
