won't hurt her

and do damage

Just the same.

To ease the damage from love’s withdraw
Here’s a remedy I learned from Pa:
Use alcohol as your wrecking ball

Winter Damage

blue skies
muddy feet
slate chips scattered in the lawn
millions of branches
scattered around
sweet tweet - robin's sound

Hurricanes

Winds cause the damage.
They say time will heal all wounds.
Rejoice in the thought!

Damage Done

the reversed side of an angle square,
life in tatters beyond repair,
a mothers face full of despair,
at a life thats left by you.

Trying to slip through
Count & restrain them
Keep them in check
For the damage they could do

They tear apart the love
Causing more damage
To the heart
To the soul
They end up broken together

Against blue canvas 
Of summer skies, the ball soared.
Laughter mixed with dust.
Silenced by the screaming shell.
They buried you in blankets

some brain damage isn't physical

but a sudden assault

by sights, sounds or circumstance

that leave the cerebrum

asunder

Damage to the eye
As thick as the solar system
Tanned glorious 
Naked fire
A movie; damage to the date
Travel in duplicate; dublicate

Inanimate Object

cold and steely with no mind
smooth but rough at the same time
no control over the damage caused
needed for protection 
but lusted after for the power to rule

Premium Member Dangerous Mental Health

I have extremely dangerous mental health.
I had one session with a psychiatrist, then he killed himself.
So I guess it's very true
the damage my whining can do.

Greedy men can’t be satisfied
And they’ve done damage as they’ve tried
To own everything
Their hearts must truly sting
When with all their wealth they have died

Daddy was a soldier, always had an itch
Down along the bayou, daddy served a hitch
Wouldn’t you know?
He loved Madam Laveau
Guess that makes me a son-of-a-witch

An empty paper towel roll
they have fallen down a black hole;
The cat tossed it through a spill 
chaos with such fine detail;
It’s time for some damage control.
