Short Leaches Poems

Going to the creek,
Jumping off the peak.

Sitting around the campfire,
Eating s'mores and getting tired.

Going to the beaches,
And picking off leaches.

I carry them like loose skin.
Saurating every pore.

They've penetrated deep into my skin,
Now they sucking me dry.
Latching on like leaches.

But I can't take it any more.
I can't stand it....

Bubbling up through the surface,
  one truth leaches out

Like a word long forbidden,
  oft whispered—it shouts

Rising up to the heavens,
  its message proclaims

“The eruption has started,
   redemption profaned”

(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2018)...

A good memory
Is not always good,
Storms kill harmony
As bad blood bleeds mood.


A good tender heart
Knows such awful pain,
Sharp cuts craft odd art
As oozing tears stain.


A good man bears much
As joy leaches fast,
See bad deals burn touch
As cruel blows outlast.

As the skeletons 
fall out 
of the cupboard 
spiders 
webs attached 
the distraction 

slowly crawls out 
a web of lies 
like leaches 
you drained 
me of all truth
 
sucked in with lies 
like a snake 
i swallowed everyone 
now i spit them back 
with venom
 
truth hurts 
cutting you 
to the bone 
as the skeletons 
come out 
the inner shell 
off you...

The wretched, green
the wretched green
Cathedral of the leaches;

the leaves decay,
the minions pray,
and Dieties give speeches.

They pay their dues
and bleed for news
thruthful words for bamboo pews,

while those with means
swap reds for greens
and do not own the reds they use.

The wretched green,
the wretched, green,
the wretched green....

hammer swung
learned them leaches
found in riddle
formings
under seeping bleachers
the stands jesters hide
below on mountains
landslide
teardrops bound
to
faces sleeves
auto correction
arrested like thieves
life spiraling breeze
grabbbad a direction to go
chain shackled winds blow
migraines grammer dung
could never match
our
hammer swung

Emotional bandits
Waiting, looking, hunting for
A drip of emotion
To abuse, to make fun of
To disrespect
Like leaches they are
Ready to suck until there is no more
Emotional bandits
Preying on emotions
They themselves showing none
Inhumane as they are
I refuse to be like them
So, I’ll hide my emotions from them
While I nurture the human in me.

i'm always happy when i think of food
it sets me in the mood

warm toast with honey makes me so happy
i guess that sounds a little sappy

or is it perking coffee gounds
to go along with ice cream mounds

who knows
i'm just peachy down to my  toes

there i go with peaches
i'm glad there not leaches

no wonder my belly's so full
and that's no bull

Although it matters not anywhere else my heart crushes for what it knows better to have...
I am overreacting and incapable of concluding the ordeal inside myself...
I know how vain and futile such an allowance of mind into obsession is...
Indeed a desperate man void of inspiration leaches on any hope...
This inspires the fire within...
Long a go the fire warmed my soul now so cold...
A stove of ash and coal...
How long shall I dwell within this fantasy so real?...
