Uncle Joe 

Here lies my old Uncle Joe.
We sure weren’t sad to see him go.
He ripped off everyone he met.
Now his poor wife must pay his debt.

One day in garden
I was digging into dirt
Hit unknown bees nest
I was swarmed, attacked and stung
Running as I ripped off shirt!

To those who scam one another
One day you will be smothered
You cannot do it for too long
And you know that it is wrong
Any delusion you may have had
Becomes much more than so sad
All you hope will not be true
It ends up that ending to you...

A masquerade party
     ever since 2005
   The hosts floated balloons
     partygoers thrived

   The masks ripped off now
     Jews beheaded and raped
   by those who disavow
     that they're half-human
                   ~ half-ape...

Drench me in the hues of ocean.
The sky in my bosom quivers
while the dark clouds shadow the birds. 
Lost in  eternal darkness
heart ripped off by this separation
Insanity mollifies  the baffled mind.
Devoured by bleakness
the soul rejoices in complacency....

There was a time when 
I worshipped at his feet
Not so long ago.
There was a time when
I cared and thought
He cared.
But it was all a lie,
A terrible mistake.
There was no love,
Just a facade
A mask he wore.
Well, thank God, no more.
He ripped off the false face
And I saw the monster 
He concealed beneath.
And now, when I look,
If I look
I cannot unsee
The monster beneath....

You, your there.
He you Ive been there with you back to back for years.
To you Ive broken a piece of your heart.
Hey you only have eyes for once was.
my glasses are semi clean.
yet you want to close your eyes.
You will let it be.
Back to back even if you are a tree and i am the stump.
My glasses semi clean.
I've only a piece of tape to mend,
that of which was ripped off.
my eyes will cry for you....

Transparent happiness ripples in the wind that
Carries me into twilight
Invisible feelings sparkle in the moonlight then
Drip onto naked skin

Verity
quickly covered
Hidden, 
Like shadows in the dark

Fear keeps me silent.

Silliness
like a band-aid ripped off 
Is stinging truth

The heart on my sleeve
A deceptive impression of
Secrets buried deep

Will you be my shoveling muse?...

a bite like hot charcoal
              a nate full
              of stolen baby teeth

that scythes off dried skin
              ripped off like old wallpaper
              the tearing of small birds

hidden under an early barn
              mice shake like clocks
              and cry in cold straw

You tap dancer, 
              as cruel as a broken tooth
              as evil as a round eye...

(this happened a week ago Friday to a fellow teacher and friend
of mine named Phyllis. I thought it was quite a story and she 
got on the tv news in Utah)

Late
night as
her husband
drove them through an
intersection, there
came barreling at them
a drunk with his truck lights off!
He ripped off their car’s front end at
the point where their feet touched the floorboard.
In one sliced second, Phyllis missed sure death....

inspired by and shamelessly ripped off of "Easter, 1916" by William Butler Yeats

I have heard from hushed voices
Of connections new and old
Underneath the light of the candle
About the table we were told.
About the retribution through blood
Brought on by discovery
Through a night in the pub
From a disillusioned companion
Around the fire at the club
A terrible beauty had been born
The revolution has begun
Where the motley was once worn...

All we are is our broken past
 Threw everything we weren’t supposed to last
 Our hearts like broken glass
 Proof that our souls died very fast
  
 Cold metal, our best friends
 With these blades we will meet our ends
  
 Self hate is the song we sing
 The fallen angels take wing
 Gash\scratch doesn’t matter
 We are dead inside and shall be revived by the pain
  
 We are the rebels of fate
 The ones that everyone hate
 So ripped off
 So stepped on...

GRANDMA’S TV

wall space empty
except for dead relatives
tv antenna flashes
bunny ears
upheaval of chests
Eyes stare

GRANDMA’S ROOSTER

crimson chair
360 degree spin
past and present mix
of snapshots
ceramic roosters
warm hands

ERASING THE PAST

Bandaid’s ripped off
Headshot lost to divorce
No comparisons left
Couple school photos
Magnetized on fridge

Should we question the intelligence
Of who you will have next
Behind the mask of a dirty sexy bunny
Is a girl with low self esteem crying
And who always admits she is a dummy
I confess I almost felt ripped off
You gave yourself fast like a conman selling rip offs
Boldly proclaiming I was your knight in shining armour
Hoping that I would be glad when your son calls me "Father"
I looked and I saw through you
And faced ahead to walk away from you as far
As North is
From South...

Little girls gotta grin,
bruised legs
shaved skin
red burns
frozen like a mannequin.
bowing to her audience
applauding her commence
calling her an on-core
little girl so heart sore
pouring her life down
upon the dirty floor.
crowds got an uproar
raping her like a new whore
petals, petals surround this girl
weeping, screaming so eye sore
hearts been ripped off its stem
laying alone in guilty flem
helpless, broken,
little girl torn,
all thats left now are her thorns....

revealed to me is a beauty
never noticed until now
I wonder how her pale 
skin feels naked against 
mine I imagine soft and 
smooth the smell she 
gives off drives me wild
I could see every act
played out in my head 
it would start with a gentle
kiss an progressively get
more rough and sexual 
which would lead to our
clothes being ripped off
in a hurry then our two bodies
would become one into
the early hours of the morning
and would end with us 
falling asleep in tangled in 
each others arms...
