Going Home For Christmas

The train makes its way
Over the trestle bridge.
Fast as a missile.
its whistle blows loud and long.
People wrestle with luggage.
I say to myself..hurry, hurry!
Can't be late. 
through the gate others and I  go.
Nothing can compare.
To going home...
For CHRISTMAS.

Still Love That Woman

I live in a house
with roaches and a mouse
that I can never catch.
I live in a house 
with a Louse. 
Shes a loud mouth drunk.
I can't take this anymore!
Outside I lean against the trunk of a tree
and Think about dowsing that house
With regular unleaded.
but I CAN'T! 
I still love that woman!
who lives in that house 
with roaches and a  mouse  
that I can never catch!

The One All Dream About

Strangers we once were.
Strangers
Then we met.
Caught in loves net
You lit my life
With your words.
Towards loves
Eternal destiny we came.
The one,
All dream about.

No This Is Better

A white blanket covers the city. 
Tucks us in like children at bed time.
THE temperature has fallen to 15.*
My bones rattle...  like window panes.
As strong winds- blow on them.
Not knowing if I'm going to live or die.
standing in line like souls waiting to be judge.
I have not a grudge. 
Just want that harder  
then the ground sandwich.
And a bowl of ice soup.
makes me almost want to return home
To the lashings -of my drunk Father. 
As he yells I love you!!
No-- this is better.

The Pain

The pain
Inside me
Became a
knife
That cut deep into
My
     HEART.

A Rose That Never Bloom

Her life to be a wife.
Filled with gloom
Her groom untrue.
A rose that never bloom.
The seed of love
Not planted.
Walk into her room.
Put a gun against her
Beautiful head.  
On the floor dead

A ROSE THAT NEVER BLOOM!

When We'Re Dead Or We Dead

Sitting on the ground
dead  all around.
I meditate
on life.
On death. Is there more to it?
Is there more then what we know.
Or think we know.
Its peaceful here I  
could take a nap.
