Pared Down Poet

There's worse things
than to live life
a pared down poet
stripped of hubris
at peace with myself
and the demons at bay.

Me

I stand here-Stripped 
For all to see
Everything 
That is me

There is nothing 
I try to hide 
I accept 
My ugly side

On the Edge

Dirty hands and dirty hearts,
Dirty tricks and poison darts, 
All stripped down and used for parts. 
On the edge is where life starts.

In brevity of time
God aroused my soul aside.
While enraptured in this moment,

Lifeless Without You

Washed up jellyfish
Stripped of its majestic feats,
Far from deep blue seas;
So was my heart without you
Lifeless like a kitchen mop

stripped of all it’s octave choice
creaked and crowed in age and vice
“Liquor, tobacco, you pay the price!”

Naked

Naked,
Stripped of control,
No pride or distinction,
Ropes of Guilt wrapped around my neck,
Hoping to end a Life of Painful delight...

A woman her name was Suzanne
Who liked an all over suntan
When stripped off on view
The truth we then knew
She showed she was really a man.

THE GRIP

He had a very tight grip
When he kissed her luscious lips
It stirred him up bad
He forgot his name was Chad
Didn't realized that he'd just stripped

Caged For You

STRIPPED DOWN
BARE
CUT TO THE QUICK
MY HEART
FRAGILE AND SINEWY 
MY BRITTLE BONES
ACHE
STIFF AND HOLLOW
A BUTTERFLY CAUGHT
PINNED INSIDE THE GLASS.

"good Morning"

Morning mist covers my lips...
My heart is open and oh so stripped...
My soul is bare but never tripped...
My mind is warm like the first coffee sipped...

Leaving As a Sad Sparrow

Thick fog brings on rain,
it can't console the stripped trees
whose leaves pave the road...
while their drooping branches moan Fall 
leaving as a sad sparrow.

Don'T Let It Slip Away

Stripped, abused and tortured.
Help me, my life's but one -
Don't let it slip away!
