What I Have Left Far Behind
I walked knowingly into the trap as a boat sails over Charybdis. Afraid of showing tell-tale marks up and down my arms. I gave in to the lesser evil, went astray, searching indiscriminately for an escape. My search lead me to a certain type of website. Taking refuge in my libido, I removed my clothes, alone. My body laid bare, for the asking. My hands...

Don't worry now about past tense, It's gone, passe'~ no longer hence. Forget all those words left unsaid, moments still waiting, books unread. The future will come, enticed or not Enjoy the days time has brought....

Past Tense
I could make excuses Or claim I was possessed But fact would find its way out Of duplicity confessed So I will speak those truths Clandestine in my past Although far from my first mistakes I vow each one the last I have worshiped money My words have been profane I have ignored the Sabbath And caused my parents pain I’ve smashed some helpless insects Thought things much...

Past Tense Chums
I don’t understand the past tense. Why is it that fight is fought? And catch is caught when liked for like is right. And what about sighted is that a past tense of sight? The list is endless, and I spent hours amazed by all of it. It was worse than a stinky sweaty work-out so I sweated! Notice the t...

Past Tense
Past Tense The pain and this grief is held close to my chest is, all that is left is becomes past tense. Memory now vanishing, this work of remembering is love without vibrancy, vitality or motion. No aroma of the moment is more smelling than thinking is. All that is left is Clenching a shadow not caressing her flesh, is all that is left is; Another kind of...

Past Tense
There's never a quiet moment in this orphanage of lost thoughts. Every night I meander into group therapy alone. I wonder which lost soul I'll save tonight, And by the way, who am I? AM/FM contraband, Broadcast to the city of the already damned. Broken bottles shipwrecked again, Driftwood diaries left to repent. I never knew what I thought you knew. Barren, vast, and...
