Long Tearless Poems

I
How long have I been doing this
Throwing my time & money
Into a hole
Filling up notebooks
Mining overheard conversation
For lines
Squeezing the sponge
Of my wine soaked
Mind
Into the bucket
Of poetry
And now here we are
Gulping down the
Lead tainted water
Like Romans
Romans
Forced...

I beg for your forgiveness once more
I said too much again…need I say more?
It’s been a crappy, snappy day for me and today will be my day
An attitude of gratitude instead of dismay would be...

Fill in the gaps
In my life
I have relapsed
Due to strife
Where did you go?
How do you know
I was lost too?
All is true…

I’m in pain
I’m in vain
I cry these tears
I shed these fears
I flutter away
Today…today…
Shameless of yesterday
Tearless...

The sea is so bright and it illuminates the nostalgic night
It sways and sways to the rhythm of my young heart
The clouds are formulating right before my eyes with might
Raindrops collapse upon the ground from...

WATERLESS TEARS


Who would put vinegar on the lips
of those who cry, “We thirst.”
Pour dust into the vase of hope’s evaporating promise?
Deny the single tear shed for lack of moisture,
refuse the very earth its need to...

A song written by KAP and I ^_^

I kneel down upon the rocks, all else left unknown
I’m kneeling in regret and I’m falling through the sky
No place to go, except to roam home alone
I’m kneeling...

I, a Red Skin dog, as some may delight to call me,
I have heard the tales of horror, from my dark skinned foes.
I have heard the tales of terror, from others who became my friends.
And...

They told me it was going to be sunny
I decided to go to the beach
Blue beauty…
No, I’m not the same as you can see

I soar off like a distant train
swaying…staying
Connected to the tracks
overwhelmed by rain
You...

Whenever I’m scared
And my mom isn’t there
I run and find her,
Because I love her and care.

Over the years
Each time I’ve been scared,
You’ve always been here,
Because of you, mom, I’ve been spared.

As I grew up
There were...

Damn these feelings of stress, interlacing impulsive dreams of disgrace 
Can it all be over soon? Maybe, the hopes drowned in the mere dust of time
Oh, long lost lamb, I am so in need of...

I kiss your lips with angelic spirits
Swarming through the mud of the past 
Soaring though the sands of time, fearless
I am as stubborn as a bull, but free like air
I cover your beating heart with...

For the tearless beauty blue of eyes I
Could not but tell you where my strength lies. Black
Sheep of black paradise, I can’t defy
The seduction that promised what I lack
In my anomie state: your white breast...

A gloomy spirit took life, it wondered the city walls 
A sad day it was, cloudy and dark resentful of history it dragged on very slow
Echoes stirred the hearts of men, for they paid audience...

I return each year to make my peace
I wade through  quilts of grass and stone
Beside the  mounds, of cold damp earth
And pray it's true.......that angels hear
Will gather 'round to listen, now

I need to...

Tap tap  boom… sheep scattered like shrapnel
Brian Dunn’s instant memorial smoke rose
from his peaty wet death hole, roots
lumps of peat and ling fell like black roses over his body
and the blood splattered fan of...

I am confident that depression will not define me

I am leading this race while my illness trails behind me

When it comes to depression I dedicate a lot of hate

I will never forget the pain it...

Face Maps 

How often we ponder 
The portrait of life, 
Some without a face, 
Some with but war as a canvas. 

The experienced face 
Reveals folds above eyes, 
Disengaged as a draught-laden wilderness, 
Yet reliable...

"Hymn to Blue Sky"
 

All the music
now kept safe
inside

all the poetry
buried dead
in deep trenches

Blue Sky
watched daily 
now

while worldly
saviours
tell a bad story

imploring 
real needs to 
I have a dream

wobbly friends

who smile 
and applaud, courageous 
standing ovations

to...

Lost...
I am dormant on the ground
 In a dark alley not to be found.
A board opposite me writ in red, 
Lifeless I am, please no tip,
money I have, but my soul
deserted me, thats why I...

I felt heartless sorrow
From the start, even without shedding a tear
There’s no tomorrow
So, have some heart…have a heart of no fear

This heartless winter, winter
It’s getting colder…
I feel like a thumb’s splinter…
I’m getting bolder…

I’m looking closer...

My confusion comes from too much doing. During the news
eating cheese and crackers, drinking wine, thinking the world
needs me.

Or the falling leaves, the days shorter but so much brighter.
How the cloud cover of the canopy...
