Best Damned Poems

Sisyphus pushes his rock up hill
While Atlas bears his load.
Damned by the ire of capricious gods,
Forced down a toilsome road.

And so it is with the gods of thrill
Who trap and hold you fast
With opioids and images,
Perniciously unsurpassed!

Beware the promise of wealth or skill
Contained in a...

I never asked to be born,
so these sins leave me torn,
between living and dying.
I'm laughing, but begin crying,
because I've lost all affection
for my mirror's reflection.

You think... I'm just a psychopath,
as you don't understand my wrath.
Such judgement, leads me on a warpath,
as voices tell me to...

It was her kitchen, her family, and my newly-married man, and I aimed to please her by properly being fed. 
With a smile and a swish, “We have butterscotch pudding pie for dessert!” My brand spanking new mother-in-law said.  
Her excitement had no knowledge...

As gently, she drifts through the darkness
Waiflike, she flows on the breeze
Her eyes never resting on anyones
Appearing to all Ill at ease

She wades in the depths of her carnage
Pressed by the weight of her sins
The humans, mere collateral damage
Ever conscious the thirst always wins

Her games...

They were as Jonah was,
cast down into the belly of the whale
They were soon to experience
every unimaginable horror on this ship of hell

On the voyage of the damned,
     you hear the cries of the condemned
Be prepared to die as well,

Her devilish eyes beat at me 
taking flesh with every blow,her 
rendered heart beat sounds like 
tribal drum rolls an her skin 
drips venom from its pores , I 
find myself helpless and 
paralyzed , everything else 
seems trivial and meaningless 
to this moment,..she exhales...

And so, I have made up my mind, once more.
I have decided to depart, to bid this husk farewell.
In order to do that, I must save coins if I desire to save myself.
For with it, I will be able to buy my ticket out here...

I could smell the ballpark in my glove
Lose myself in the crooked sky above
Hear the roar of the crowd in my bat
Oblivious to your epitaph called stats
Dreaming a dream, called baseball

But that was all taken from me
From an evil that does not sleep
Forgive me if...

But now, I wonder "Will I have the bravery to follow?"
Demise shall follow if I am to attain redemption and cleanness of my sins that tarnish my soul.
Sometimes, I cling to yes, sometimes I cling to no.
When the dark clouds blur my sight, I ask...

I put my hands around my wife's throat and I squeezed.
What disturbs me is that when she died, I was pleased.
When it came to having morals, I used to believe that I had some.
But every time I look in the mirror, I'm horrified to see...

Sleep. It is the last damned thing.

Taps is on my mind. My orders are to sleep. We all eventually get this order in a final form.

God is the Captain, and we merely sailors on His oceans.

I'm not a soldier, and I will say that until...

Vegas be Damned!


Vegas took him off the board at 80.
As the cards were dealt each day, passersby
would swear the deck was stacked –
against him.  Fate had, for some reason,
chosen him to constantly be in the line
that closed for lunch, watching the bus
he just missed...

In a world where love is hatred
I'm the only one who makes it
Alive and well
Enjoying hell
But no one else can make it...

Damned
So you don't believe that it's written?
You don't believe that it's planned,
when the horse my head was a kicking,
when stupid took stupid command!
Just 15 years for to suffer,
a Moron loose upon the land,
couldn't give the right change on the Buses,
often was short, not so grand.

In the corner of a pawn shop, blanketed in dust
stood a damned old used guitar; for a twenty, was a must.

Walking out the door with it slung across my back
I saw a young man with a sign, "Help my name is Jack"

I didn't know his...
