the war within

spinning...uncontrolably
friends betrayals
I give give give...
they take take take...
fear...aching fear inside
money...****ing money
IRS...college...utilities...everybody
stomach is sour...queezy
children abused...even killed
adults like gangsters...evil

how can we stop it?
troops must live like animals
surviving off the government
government...what a joke

The gavel slammed its judgement down
On my impassioned plea,
Doomed to run-on sentences
Served concurrently.
My term began an infinite jest,
Time after time, time without rest.
On and on, again and again,
Ad infinitum, days without end.
Illicit contraband stashed in...

on my-
diaphanous    gossamer filmy cloud-
sumptuous I float woebegone

flowers   far   and below

and bluebirds come
fluttering in the azure sky
twittering and its
beautiful

gossamer filmy cloud-sumptuous

the gobbledygooks with their nonsense
far   and...

my womb is your...

Passion froths with emotion
Emotion graces hugs and kisses
Emotion embraces with eyes
Eyes that see deep into your soul
Eyes that color your world

The abyss swallowed you
Into the ocean of despondency,  
Right above death's holler,  
And you couldn't quitclaim.  
No skepticism, no demurrer—  
You took fate lightly.  

Memento Mori, your guts finally cried...

Saw you in a steamy dream
You fit quite nicely in my scheme
Of picture perfect high romance
The rush of heat,that burning glance
Lost in your eyes and all that jazz
That catapulting razzmatazz
Never knew love till I met...

Yada, yada, yada;
I slipped and fell and I twist my tongue;
Spoke so ravenishly datta, cotta lata;
Dislodged wit coal miner’s lung;

See Porky spit"Th-Th-The, Th-Th-The, Th-Th... That's all FOLKS!"
Penny Henry  laid me sum eggs flung,
I’d sli,...
