Could you imagine,
A face like that?
Created by the face of an angel
And modeled like fashion
For the damned and deceased.
A respected locksmith,
Drunk on insomnia and aging,
Kissing the pavement
With bare and busied feet.
The Brazilian beauty
Who prides herself as
The representative of blushing.
The one who catches the bouquet
By chance...

On quitting PoetrySoup as soon as I join

This morning I had
two comments on
two poems I posted
yesterday.

They were both from
the same person
and very nice comments
they were, indeed.

And yet, my first reaction
was not, as you might expect,
one of joy and happiness:
“Oooh! Someone liked
my poems!”

It was, instead, 
“Oh...

Admitting Than Quitting

Was truly my style to start sitting,
While all my bad habits admitting;
Started to count them one by one;
Then when I was finished and done
Them concurrently started quitting.

What else is there left I should say
Should make mine Poem of the Day
And if the day...

We pass the fire sticks near the police cars,
lit.
Bright round moon shine, that’s it.
The fit,
from the tall and small,
still they’d rather walk then sit
with grandpa in the car.
We are so close to home. Each keeps their wit
and acumen, as we trudge through the dark -
feels...

I'm tired of lying, to myself and by myself
I'm tired of dying, by myself and from my self-rolled comfort;
Packed security.
In eight years it never felt like poison
It never felt like she could kill
Call this our last embrace
Or call this my last taste
Of what I can't...

You never even asked me how I felt
Not even about the problems I’d been dealt.
I wish that somehow I could turn back time
And then maybe everything would be fine.
Maybe if I would’ve thought twice
I wouldn’t  be sitting here rolling my dice.
I’m sick and tired...

Snacking on seaweed and banana today
To see if it improves my mood
Hopefully my vitamin investment will pay
And my perspective will become unskewed
My busy brain has ceased to be
I'm currently numb instead
I'd love to imagine it's because I'm free
But believe it's another trick of the head
I've...

Baby steps, followed by
a child's stumbling,  
teenage sprained ankles,
broken bones and
bodies covered with bruises,
adults take two steps forward
followed by one step back.

What of the person with no feet?
Hasn't he a reason to succeed.
His will shaped by submission
to a higher power than his own
encouraged by...

I've been smoke free two months today.
I haven't smoked and I hope that's how things will stay.
Please don't start smoking, it wasn't a good thing for me to do.
Please say no to nicotine because that is what is best for you....

This life is my life
Why is this my life
So I shout YOLO 
Maybe I'll try van life
Cause escapism
And romanticizing 
Are all that's really driving me

And maybe one day
I'll really do it
I'll quit my job and
I'll get right to it
Because they told me
That time is money...
