Dr. Jekyll
Diabolical, villainous
Experimenting, killing, hating
Murder, schizophrenia, man, husband
Loving, caring, rationalizing
Gentle, friendly

Longer than twenty years it took me
Of steadfast faithful simplicity
Voicing reassurance, for her to truly get that I’m not you
Explains just how much you put her through.

Mister important ladies man, so dashing
Everyone else takes a back seat; hearts are for smashing
Another looker, another ********, another...

It seems I’ve traveled this path,
too many times to count.
A road which leads to nowhere,
mentally unable to dismount.

It was an easy route to follow,
for demands were not emplaced.
The only requirement needed,
was precious time to waste.

As I follow the road of surrender,
thoughts tease my mental state.
Is...

It's morning as I make a special trip to the
fish market. There, I will look for the freshest 
mussels, large shrimp, and Maine lobster. 
 
A large crowd has formed mostly chefs 
wanting to get the best seafood for their
restaurants. You can hear the offers...

I just heard Buffy's song
for the first time in many years.
It brought me to tears,
because it reminded me of 
how much I have changed,
how far I have gone and
what I have become.
I once stood
shoulder to shoulder
with other of the same mind,
sure to the bone,
that no...

Fear not for the time is now
Erected, stand and declare freedom
Arm yourself with axioms of humanism
Rationalizing the essence of being...

There is exquisite pain
In being offered a beautiful gift
Fine the wrapping
The bows beautifully beguiling
The attached card:
Love’s testament in writing

Everything indicates
The contents are perfect
What lies inside
Can satisfy, electrify, gratify….
BEAUTIFY, yes, beautify your life
Wrapped up in pretty paper
The outside tantalizes
Alluring me to open
Open…Open…OPEN!

Yet….
I sit and stare
At the...

Defenses of the Mind

Mechanisms employed as defense
Unconscious pretense
Unrevealed
A protective shield
Inner truths hard to bare
Held safely there
Defenses, the living ghost
Rationalizing, one of a host
The do not care escapes
Known as “sour grapes”
When displacing a truer threat
Dumping on… as safer outlet
Suppressing and stuffing inside
Difficult to hide--- set-aside
As emotional...

The typical intro,
A moment of reflection,
Philosophical conversation with my glass veil is ago,
I swear she's the perfect audience lacking in cognition but excellent in reception,
Shameless in anonymity and thoroughly content being one-dimensional,
An afterthought emerged from reverberating echoes,
Rationalizing a fantasy through demented reality and an appeal...

Alphabet poems are sometimes called, “a,b,c” poems.
But that is incorrect because a.b.c. poems only have 25 words in them.
Commonly, that mistake is made because the lines are written in alphabetical order.
Despite a clear definition of the Abecedarian form, even I continued to say, “a,b,c”
Everyone makes...

Executive Summary:
To optimize Great Faith Revolutions,
combine all toxic ingredients 
of Make America Great Again,
and then feel
then hear
then do
then say
then cooperatively touch
then develop a compassionate taste
for just the opposite
fundamentally regenerative ********
election
direction
selection.

Thesis and AntiThesis:
I suppose we might uncover
many differences in theologies,
Eastern and Western,
Southern and Northern.

One of these...

No’s


Talking to themselves in the third person
Detached, separate, 
ominous—a stilted nuance that does want to know  
Abrupt attention spans lashing out as the deadends foreclose
Cutting back on all the backslapping
Having wanted to believe all the
smooth lies and all that crap brings
Devolver minds snapping
Struggling to...

for you, m
-------------

pale horse led by shrouded spectre through foggy thicket
dark days behind them illuminated by soaring ember skies
saturated soil slick under their feet impeding their ascent
leafy shelter their only escape from the rainy elements

their trek is treacherously long, winding over the countryside
days on end,...

Rationalizing cost humanity Paradise
with burden to choose right the price
an ego to be awaken to rise
when the herd falls asleep to vice

Snake pride tends to hide
selfishness in a tomb inside
righteous façade outside
to camouflage grudges' bite

Passing blame for robbery of joy
burning culprit in thoughts like toy
scattering...

Just like My Daddy
 
It started a long time ago as a kid, I was still young
 
Rebelling against the law, back talking adults, but I thought it was still fun
 
I always thought about changing but I figured why bother
 
When I did good,...
