Magnum Opus
Cantankerous cancers found my blood letting from the slit,
Is it avarice of me to desire the love begetting of Lazarus?
Enjoying life cadaverous like forgetting the want to live,
Is it glamorous for me to die while God desires I live?
Forgo the solid ground,
My feet dangled off the edge of a jagged cliff.

In case you haven't noticed I'm a poet verbal usage explosive,
Wrote it to show I'm potent while showing I'm still unfolding,
With words I manage verbs the action within observed,
Then swerves I'm pitching curves a gentleman well reserved,
I'm classic because I practice my passion bring satisfaction,
Imagine the acrobatics of circumstances enacted,
On paper with just a pen

My girlfriend is not a poet in the way that most people mean.
She is a collector of rare and valuable information. Today,
she told me about cats & the color of their coats. We adopted
a kitten recently, a baby thing with elastic legs and a penchant
for biting paper. She is the color of placing

Pieces of glass shattered on the wooden floor
I maim my pointed finger; it bleeds and runs into my broken door.
Grief is timeless as it seems,
How evergreen to sculpture happiness in my dreams?
I’m beautifully made but devastatingly asking,
“What keeps you awake and keep on going?”
Life is an art that is crafted under a

Theoretical Magnum Universal Opus
Pondering the unknown universe
thus far and the eternal search
for the meaning of life
If God is as we are lead to

Imagine a singular simple speck

That triggers off and

Move with clear mind the waves of time,
Ask for true heart that sparks pure act;
Glimpse love's sure kind as thought syncs chime,
Now live your art in fond impact;
Urge joy to heal all hurts and pains,
Make your life quest a journey fest.
Opt soul to feel life's stress and strain,
Prize each day's zest and do your best;
Use

My mind is empty
Like a long corridor
With a light flickering
On and off
The paint is peeling
And chunks fall from the ceiling
A pen rolls across the floor
Useless and without ink
So I pick it up
And stab myself
Letting blood fill the pen
So I can write a final verse
Over the falling walls
For even in victory
I found a way to lose
A

In simple lines
Grand thought divine
Love speaks easy
Plain and wisely
Seek the good here
Live happy cheer
Work faith and hope
Love suits all scope
Be here now then
Let how know when
Glimpse ample light
Bring wise insight
Allow great work
To flood fond perks
This is your life
Transcend mere strife
Each moment counts
Blooms grand amounts
Just do your best
With zeal and zest
Joy brings good pay
Life starts with

44 Magnum
(This is a fictional poem)
A man is pointing his 44 at my head.
If he pulls the trigger, I'm dead.
He appears to be a deranged lunatic.
He needs a psychiatrist because he's sick.
I'm really scared and my eyes are beginning to well.
I'm about to be killed by a man who should be in jail.
It's pitiful when I
