Short Unscrewed Poems

I have always looked;
beyond the calm horizon;
and think about you 
With the memoirs of unscrewed;
vows, made of lies and blues...

Covered with sand and barnacles too
A plastic bottle turning blue
found a treasure in my hand
I cleaned layers of sand
Inside a note hid
unscrewed the lid
out it slid
heart sank
blank...

The doors that lead to
My heart is close
To make some repairs
It has been knocked on
It has been picked open
It has been kicked down
It has been unscrewed and
Taken off the hinges
Through it all it’s now
Making permanent repairs...

Red.
What is the first thing you think?

Maybe love.
Maybe anger.
Maybe blood.

Do you dread to hear the word red?
And remember the first time you bled,
In your bed,
Where you fed your death bed,
And fled the thread ahead?

Is it the lines of red you remember?
Those small beads of life on your skin?
That unscrewed pencil sharper?

?
They ask me.

I say,
Be happy you don’t know....

Who are you?
 You who are:

    Half Baked
 Half Crocked
         and
 Half Cracked

    Unscrewed
       Unzipped 
         and
     Unleashed

 Who are you?
 You who are:

            Baked
         Crocked
          and
         Cracked

         Screwed
            Zipped
           and
         Leashed

      Or are you?
   You who are:

                 Just
          Plain Old
             Screwy
                    To
                    Me...
