IndiscretionMorning smacks two cheats.
Cock crows on three-peat;
caught among four sheets.

yielding to snake tongues-
I'm the jukebox clown.
That lazy bass grind,
grog, cigar haze, blind.
Bone-stirring find,

I’m breaking tooWhen dad left you suffered
Like I’ve never seen you do
Fighting back angry tears
As you broke the news
Told us earlier that week
That granddad was ill
Even though we knew it wasn’t true
We went with it still
Fighting...

I FEEL IT, ALWAYS I feel it, I always do
the silence before you hang up
the last day before I see you again
the emptiness of the word night
after you wish me goodnight.
I feel it, I always...

The DivorceWhen it happened, I was very angry and I was also stunned.
My wife filed for a divorce just because Donald Trump won.

The Choices She MadeShe stood beside him, vows once true,
a promise bright, then burned right through.
She wore his ring, she spoke his name,
but love to her was just a game.
I saw the distance in her eyes,
a quiet hunger...

The WarShe lawyered up when he walked in the room
And he watched her smile fade into the past.
Look at them now, the former Bride and Groom.

The Kingdom of Forgotten ThingsIn the bottom of a drawer,
where rusted nails and screws gather dust,
never used to mend the house
we swore we’d build together,
my dreams lie waiting.
In the back,

we thought would stretch the hard...

Melting Point Of MarriageThe melting point of married life:
Stay together but not talking
No hug, no smell, no story to tell
No sweet moment, everyone is on the phone
Sleeping in opposite direction
Preparing clothes independently
Busy friendship with others
Forgetful to important...

Love Born VillainEvery love affair has a villain,
In the grape vines, this, we all learn.
What was once the garden of Eden,
With fights, become, love’s death den.
Where post morning lights ashine,
Forever the dark remains align.
To one; a mistake,...

ValShe was having a party
A divorce party
He wasn’t invited
They came prepared
Balloons, rosettes, banners
More people than were at the wedding
Val was very popular

Something about Val, his soulmate
The loud girl with the big heart
He would...

Slowly, softly, with the Truth, crush me!
She doesn’t exist, does she?

Some romantic symphony?…
Existing only in my memory?…
Now just another misery, ..of...

Ticking Like a BombYou won’t find me when you’re looking,
But you will know when I am gone,
Every single second feels like a year,
My hearts ticking like a bomb.
One day you will remember me,
Like a good old fashion song,
