hidebound I stand and try to think,
not sink still further...

Long  ago when fairy tales and fables

Defined that period in time 

There's a story seldom told 

Of a Dyslexic Shepherd boy 

Who guarded the town's flock

From a wolf with hungry eyes 

The Mayor said...

My pain runs deep like the Red Sea
 God has parted it, opening up my eyes for me to see
 a clear view, the past in my review is forever dead to me

Sweat sticky between
eyebrows, deuces
wild 
Like his eyes, those
lonesome dove eyes 
Prairie eyes, ice
cool despite the
rising heat 
Choking heat,
boiling on a frying
pan 
Round and round
those tables, red
and black 
Elbows and anger,
shiny greasy metal, 
Gin bellows and...

Cold rains, wet and weary... seeping through the sky,
spectres pass ’long side me... bent, with collars high,
my visions are invisible and no one sees me cry.

Minstrels of destruction... rapping at my door,
naked anvils aching... heavy...

I Bathed My Body
Perfumed My Soul

What's it take to get noticed?
Do I have to learn to speak another language?
Or maybe I have to cut out my heart and lay it on the ground for you!

AT THE MIDNIGHT POWER

As a writer I seek sanctuary in every sentence, sentiment and syllable spoken
As a man I possess a soul bought, bastardized and broken
These are traits that rate reviews worthy of nothing much
With...

Why would I be bitter?
Cause you wasted my time?
Playing games answering my questions like you had no mind
Or maybe because you led me on as I did you
Plus you ended up not feeling the same...

9/14/17


Televisions getting muted
Signals getting lost or boosted

Meanwhile people hooted
Brooded and continually feuded

Was not one to make my drinks diluted
Made me snooze quick or feel rebooted

Having solutions
Handling problems without saying "Houston"

Already proven
Am only human
Not trying to...

The bad habits still exist,
The voices I hear still persist,

I try not to listen, I try to resist,
So I keep on hearing them but I never get the gist,

My mind and heart have been fighting,...

When I said it was over
You said hurtful things
You called me out my name
You said you had no feelings for me anyway
And yet you were right there texting me all day, everyday
You probably just said...

Followers mouth left dryer than...
