Long Unobtainable Poems

Here I stand. Early so that its dark enough to see the pretty yellow/white shining bright from car headlights – unblinking eyes; watching, waiting, worried. Drawing ever nearer. Complemented by the burning red from the...

It's been a good while
Since the last time we talked
I'm definitely better off for it
And hell, I hope you are too

I've realized a lot since then
Since we took a shovel to the spine of our...

Dear Joanne. If there is a problem, there are human beings.
We have all made mistakes but people like me are not needed.

Dear Joanne. I have received a letter from the office of the adjudicator concerning...

Mass of red and gold plumage
blood of supreme incessant immortality flows within
Only I alone can reign stronger
a fortiori
than the army of any man or beast
Symbolic of Christ, ressurection, afterlife
In death redeemed
consumed by fire
only to be...

she clarifies bacon grease 
to make the popcorn
once it is in the bowl 
add seasoning with butter
a tad of garlic, sea salt, sugar
the layers of flavor are a paradise
scattered in each morsel
this means a romantic...

Paper

When I sit down to write
I can’t help but feel as if
The words that clutter across my
Sad
Blank
Sheet of paper
Are not my own

I write my words
My thoughts
My suffering
But every time I reread my poetry
I can’t help...

In the density of dark—a tale unfolds.
Where shadows dance and secrets are told,
A candle—golden before my eyes,
Illuminating truths, where darkness lies.

Such a flame, so delicate and bright,
Casting its glow, vanquishing the night,
Flickering...

Intro: ×4

I've got something in my head

Rap:

feeling you're winning is a feeling you're losing
and winning is the feeling losing is missing

Under This Azure October Sky

Still cruising here, 
Still hunkering here
under this azure October sky
Still breathing here,
Still suffocating here,
inside this hair dryer which covers my head.
Still surviving here, 
Still perspiring here,
outside, in the mad hot jungle...

What is perfection?
Is it something that shames the edges of a ruler?
Does it consider a masterpiece to be blasphemy in its eyes?
Or is it a disease?
Cursed to people like me
People's so engulfed by the unobtainable
Uncontainable...

The music has run dry,
And I can hear my breathing.

My thoughts twisting and turning,
My heart teasing and bleeding.

I feel alone in this empty room,
Crowded with demons and evil thoughts.

Thinking of the scars of my battles,
And...

she wore the sonnet as clothes
and was naked to all that saw her
she spoke in perfect diction
and pranced around to have all
who wish her well to see her
those that longed for someone
unobtainable and spoken for

the story does have a peculiar ending,
silence, silence and perhaps darkness,
nothing beyond the realm of imagination,
our hopes conjure up a place called heaven,
our fears torment with those of hell,
no one knows, not the best of...

Maybe dear friend the time has come
To gather your things quickly but silently
Or so it would seem
For those about you are paying you no mind.

To a clear thinker one so determined to leave
This path would...

I can see you there, your eyes may shine laughter but I see through,
Your holding up that champagne glass and nodding with enchanted excitement,
But I see through,
Does she see you from across the room,
Or does...

Foster child, unworthy of love,
Unknown in last six placements,
Unavailable, unresponsive, unobtainable, 
Unadoptable and possibly un-foster-able also.

Foster child, must show strength,
Show he is tough, show he is the boss,
The king somewhere, the one to respect,
Although he...

I set here alone and my mind returns to thoughts of her.
The sky outside my window is ebon,and even though the
stars shine with a million pricks of light a blackness grips 
my soul.
Only in dreams...

Sunglasses shield my eyes so I don’t have to look directly at the sun
Which is the most beautiful thing
All I want to see is beauty but I put a barrier in between

Can one know the name of the poet?
I think not.
For they themselves are unsure as to
their true identity.
For they are the painter, the storyteller,
the linguist, the historian, the dreamer 
and dream catcher.
They give and take...

Life a masquerade of happiness and cheer,
Nobody knows that pain is felt through every new day.
A façade created
Dreary thoughts covered
Nothing hurts more than being alone.
To lose this mask, one must find
A true happiness—a sun in...

NOCTURNES BY MIDNIGHT

AND for every memory whose hands have touched
my hungry lonely moments;  I am always here,
