Patches and His Matches - Limerick


There Once Was A Lad Named Patches
Who Loved To Hide & Play With Matches
He Told His Mom, He Would Stop
But Fool Her, He Did Not!
For She Ran To Him Whenever She Heard Scratches

We are boxes of matches,
Some crammed with chances,
Some rattle th last few,
Some too chafed to spark a new flame,
Some crumbled with th rain,

My last matchstick,
I want to strike it for you....

Matches

My body are like matches,
rubbed against yours.
Lighted, warmed, consumed.

We are in the furniture store.
Oops. Pardon me, ma’am.
We are in the DEEEEE SIGN….ERRRR Store.
I see a bed I like.
I say “I feel like throwing a match in my house and starting over.”
Elise is snickering on cue.
The designer of the month is walking behind us.
I...

The art shop went up in flames
No one was at fault
These things happen
All colors screamed out in black and white
Insects inside ran furious with the paint
Toasted crisp with no complaints
Their secrets too are safe
Regarding the rain
Which was already falling
Kept its distance from the unusual
Watering plants...

The one who's forbidden,
The apple unbitten.
You fight with temptation
For a love unallowed. 

I promise to let you
Do things how you need to,
For love isn't hurried,
Self-indulgent or proud.

Though constricted by chains
They will rust in the rain,
Because time is a healer
And our wounds won't last.

I promise to...

I'm not sure anymore.
I can't seperate reality.
Reality is cruel for sure.
But fiction was never me.
I like the smell of sulfer,
And the lighting of the sound.
I like the way you suffer,
Bleeding through the ground.
I like the way you gasp for air,
In the little wooden box.
I like...

Burned Out Matches

Here I am
Trudging up a mountain
Littered with burned out matches,
Holding my hand high enough to keep the light on me
But out of the darkness
Words of determination run through my mind 
Like a song you just can't get out of your head.
You can do...

-you should fear the fourth of November
because your old butt is sitting on a powder keg
after a summer of disease and restriction
after a summer boiling over with George
the young are holding the matches
and day 
upon 
day
upon
day 
the media spits gasoline in their pimply 
black veiled...

What matches orange?
The husband asked thinking the couch was a mistake.

She was a decorator – not a paid one,
but nevertheless, she was a visionary.

She had the room put together in a week.
People raved about its beauty.

Husband tried to take credit for the orange couch a...

For the match that has lite your fire

Book of Matches and Phone Number

If you put a 
book of matches and 
your phone number on a 
slip of 
cardboard (lined and sickly yellow) on 
your mantelshelf in relation to 
each other they’ll 
mull over the 
best way to
stop forever the 
fierce growl of...

The years pass
but the soul doesn't
accept...
The body
undergoes changes,
that heart
rejects...
the legs creak
as if they were
teeth, and the
teeth fall out
as if they were
drunk...
The body ages,
but not the soul
of child...
The skin, the fur,
the hair if
discolor, but
the spirit if
maintain it fixed
at the age that
it suits us:
we all stay
in thirty...

I sit here waiting for my fish dinner 
Wondering if Club America is going to be a winner 
With no wall in sight 
The casino sports books say this is going to be a good match, right 
One side of the country views 
Say complain...
