Long Strung along Poems

And as I stood upon the shore in Pacifica
Gazing over the soothing Pacific Oceans Archean waters
With its cooling yet cleansing rhythems, washing over my baring feet
Feeling the suns warmth softly caressing my now bronzed flesh
Traveling...

After: "Letter of Mithridates to Phraates, King of Parthia"
Historiae VI by Sallust 
*****************************

I am a man more poisoned against than poisoning.
 That’s my version anyhow, and I’m sticking to it.
Don’t blame me for having survived...

So this is what it's like,
On the other side.
So this is what it's like,
To be the one who lied.
Operation Conniving.
Eyes open, doors pried.

Once I sat, reluctant to use what I knew.
Allowing the waste of a...

Tiny misshapen meringues, puffs of cloud, float 
Like lacework across the green and brown land 
Far beneath. In the distance, they are a little
Bigger, yet still not the towering fortresses of home;
And the snaking roads,...

Love can be so addicting
Feelings can be so Contradicting
While love may be felt by one maybe lust is felt by the other
Make sure you both share the same genuine feelings for one another
While you may...

Down a runway skybound
to cross a continent, 
see from a window
a city fall away
with bright beads 
strung along a coast,
then turning inland, 
clumped townships 
shrinking to solitary lights
sunk far apart
into hours
of featureless dark. 

Disconnected
from the...

When I was just a little boy, my mother said to me
"Since birth I've filled your heart with love, to give away for free
So be a cheerful giver and it always will come back
Just spread...

My own head screaming at me
every thought another fight
strangling my heart
he hid behind my tears
every possible negative thought
battling myself to do what is right
always felt like i never got it
tricking myself into situations, strung along
confusing...

The unveiling confusion, infirmity,

It's a mid December morning, 
and it's 85 degrees.
There are no cool breezes blowing,
just some high humidity. 
Yes, I'd like to build a snowman, 
but it's hot out as can be.
Down here in South Florida,
there...

That one week I thought my life would change,
We would chat and our date we'd arrange.
We felt fantastic, everything was great,
This was our time, this was our fate.

We would meet, we'd kiss and always hug,
'We're...

Drops of moisture from the sky
Cause a sad tear from your eye
Falling like heartache and pain
Leaving the biggest bad stain
In your life that will not quit
Tearing at you bit by bit
Cracking pieces off a heart
Young...

I find myself feeling so cliché at times.
I want what I can't have.
I need you but not that bad.

Thoughts of jealousy never cross my mind when I picture you with him.
A typical story with a...

There is something sitting on both my shoulders
the evil and the good in one ear out the other
one voice is sweet and the other is so so colder
the right and the wrong have voices

I no longer love country music
Or Afton, Wyoming just to be the girl
In someone's non-existent dreams
Indulging in a glass of wine
Isn't a thinking session of
Second guesses to philoso-fry myself
 
Conflicted as a child, repressed from...

Once upon a Christmas Time
I was happy you were mine
Now this holiday is sad
Thinking of the love we had
That you threw away like trash
Making me fall hard and crash
Breaking me from outside in
How do I...

A spirit flies alone there's no love true without saying goodbye 
soul searching deeply without sacrifice your gone 
walking golden sands inside the heart all wars are won 

Hand in hand slowly strolls on golden...

My uncle took me fishing.
He’d smoke his favorite briar
Stuffing the cherry blend in with stubby
Welsh fingers more suitable for digging coal,
Than compacting mulched tobacco leaves.

A line taut between his index finger and his thumb,
He took...

Perhaps a flight in mind shall strengthen thine own end,
Between the birth of blasphemy strung along a river bend. 

Birth besides the breath of death, inhaled into nonce puffs,
Poked between a scatter of stars whose...

The dark hours of the night 
No one by my side
Shows me that---your words are emp--ty
as you try 
to lie to me
again, my friend

Its funny how many suns have set,
yet, i won't forget, 
the countless...

god or goddess
the first impression
flawless, mysterious, intriguing
from afar a Monet
in a darkened room
a single shaft of light
its heat needed
its beauty charming
its knowledge desirable
to embrace and acquire
the enlightenment
head over heels
gymnastic feats
by fire of light
held in the...

While some may write about their life
Wishing the facts we're more like fiction
Some draw off the lessons taught
Others with pieces missing

And then you have the happy clan
All good natured sages
Where they wine and dine on...

Once again I sit here all alone  
 Painfully wondering where you are.
Not knowing if you're dead or alive.
You promised me you'd be right back
But once again you're heading
 Down the wrong track.
I sit...

The ways of the world today are out of control
so much going on that doesn't set well with my soul
people in positions of power making decisions that's wrong
and in the midst of what's happening we're...

She remained so long in her loneliness she forgot 
How it felt to have a life –a tormented heart, was all she got,
And sadness after sadness, day in and day out, took reign –
