Blue In The Face Poems

Want to reach a child, teach him to care?
   To do everything with a gentle flair?

Don't hover over over him 'til you're blue in the face
   Or lavish undeserved praise on him -- a complete waste!

To be human and live on land
Well I was constantly saying in a loud voice
King Triton by your command
Please, wave your magic staff that you
Hold in your hand
At me a child who has always...Read More

A Roman, Cavalier, and a Lady in Grey
were all sat in the old Bell Hotel,
the customers round didn't know they were there

I’m very proud of my self-righteous stripes,
I’ve given more alms than you have my whole life
My self-flaggelations is more painful than anybody’s are

My wool is so...Read More

What do you do,
When you feel down,
Hang your head low,
As it feels your lower then the ground,

Build your tears up inside,
Keep a smile on your face,
That everything else you hide,

Stay to yourself,
Act as nobody is around,
Write poems like I do,
Tell...Read More

I'm not a saint though I compel myself to be one
I'm not a sinner, no, yet I can't outrun the ideology
Ascending into descension or am I descending into ascension
Maybe I, maybe I am only stuck in the middle

Hey, I've always been queer for the Men at the Top,
It is something to which I can cheerfully cop.
They're my Pharaohs and Saviors all rolled into One;
I, like, pee in my pants when I see what They've done.

Well, I'd committed...Read More

I wonder again why I have talked, uninterrupted
Until I am blue in the face
Convincing as I may be
You still believe
You're nothing more than human waste

Empty threats, locked doors turn into quiet space
So I kick and kick until the door breaks...Read More

Sometimes sponsors can be very hard to please
Achieving first place is not always a breeze

Yet every person is unique in our group
Some wonderful poets with great...Read More

I am going to write a funny poem
How is tomorrow?
Does it look like today?
Then I don't want it
Okay not?
Then yeah I want it
Just to make sure you wrap it up okay?
I want it as a present
Sure hope you come
Did I...Read More

Breathless beauty in the world of ice,
Icicles hanging off the tightly coiled noose,
Blue in the face and the body of ice,
Gently cradled by icy old snooze.
Heart that once beat with melody pure,
Eternally banished into freezing unknown,
Broken in pieces, beauty will...Read More

Tired going here and there,
Tired of being aware!
Sick of building useless hopes,
Sick of being on unstable slopes!
Vexed facing disappointment,
Vexed keeping perseverant!
Done carrying on,
Done being cheated on!
Special thanks to all my swains;
Those who cured, or racked my strain,
A new stage has...Read More

I bet he will drink it
You can give a squirrel a nut and 
Watch him crack it
You give someone your heart and
They stomp all over it
You can talk and yell until you

Love me with naked drumbeats the
Music our hips play; and from six
Inches of forbidden darkness our eyes
Do the Tango our lips they dance all
Night I swallow you whole even the
Imperfections that do not exist your 
Guilt I make my own...Read More

We were so close
You were always there for me
I feared nothing
When you were near
When I was little, I would fall asleep
Safe in your arms

We would joke and laugh 
Til we were blue in the face
We always had so much fun

You...Read More

I wonder
If this knife is sharp enough?
It has to cut deep to sever the vein in my thigh
I have been wondering lately
About death, about dying and of decay

What’s after death anyway . . ?
Does dying hurt, can I make it...Read More
