Best Put A Cork In It Poems


Shut the Troll Up
Trolls roam the internet
Looking for prey to stalk
Dishing out the mockery
To harass users on forums.

Debbie downers of the net
Ready for a sneak attack
Spreading chaos and dispair
To bring down net-goers.

Think their all that?
Think their all tough?
Think their superior?
Top of the food chain?
Noses in the air?

I don't...

So many voices.
Competing 
for Real Estate 
in my head.

“You’ll always be a loser”
“He’s smarter.”
“She’s better than you.”
“Why are you so stupid.”
“You’ll never amount to anything.”
“No one wants you.”

“Wait”
“Stop!”
“Don’t listen to them.”
“You deserve to be happy.”
“You’re lovable.”

“DUMMY!”
“Idiot!”

“Those voices are lying to you.”
“You’ve come so far.”
You’ve got...

The sides of the tent pushed in and out.
There were folks within, there was NO doubt.
And from inside the paper-thin walls
came all sorts of sounds, as many recall.

In the dark of the night though the din of rain,
there were small whimpers of pleasure, or pain?
Soft...

Cork In the Bottle
I've spent a lot of time a drinking
running with the wrong crowd
while I gave up the only thing
that made my life worthwhile 

Well I've said goodbye to loved ones
and I've burned a bridge or two
just me and this bottle
in a lonely hotel room

I'll put the...

Dead Again
lonely lovers wake 

empty wine bottles glass shards 

passion is asleep 



crimson red blood stain 

to see beyond tomorrow 

washing, washing hands 



love is dead again 

will put a cork in today 

for we fly away...

 There was a hell of a fight in heaven; Lucifer wanted
to share power with who would have nothing of it and banned Lucifer
from heaven. But Lucifer who knew of the human weakness
and gladness of shining pearl told them to consume and consume,
