Shredded Life

Your silence only 
ampliphies the lies
And keeps problems and 
doubts well fed
Comfort and trust
quickly sicken and die
What's left is a shell of a 
memory
a life 
Shreds of things we've 
built together
Float through the still, stale 
air
of betrayal
a desolate place where 
decisions are hard
and consequences seem 
heavier
than the mistakes that 
gave birth to them
In these periodic moments 
of paralyzing sadness
I consider jumping off 
the side of this island
Into the unknown
with nothing but a leaky 
raft
of pain, broken oars to 
guide myself further into 
solitude and the leftover 
vows we couldn't keep

String Cheese

You
Like 
String
Cheese
And 
I 
Laughed 
When
The
Thought
Came
To
Me
It is just imitation shoelaces
I thought about how disillusioned
You became
And I tried to tell you
How to change the way
You see the world
And tie
The
Bad 
Stuff
Up
With 
String 
cheese

Your Summer Touch

There is nothing like
Your smoldering summer touch
I miss you so much

Bother Me Not

I have a fantasy
something that can't be retold
something so bold
to go broke
to be homeless
only to still have home
to still have my beloved
to be drunk on love
so drunk that I don't
know right from straight
to be so enraptured that it means nothing as long as he is by my isde
youth
destruction
bliss
paris
random...to lead a random life
full of uknowns..and for it to bother me not.

Winter of Love

Sharp as winter wind
sadness touches me again
freezing me once more

Sun Fire

He lights
The sun
With a 
Match
Each day
And the silence
Of night
Is broken
By the
Crackling of 
flames

Silhouette of a Crone

Silhouette of a sassy
Little sex pot
Trembling in midnight air
By her big white picture windowsill
Captured by a muse she feeds in her mind
Loved by homegrown worshippers
She never really has to leave
Bitter is as bitter does
And what has been seen are her bitter,
Reddened lips
And her fake silk-lined soul
All crazy nail biting 
Vengeance and delusion
Oh the petulant crone!

Spreading Sunrise With a Butter Knife

I opened up the sunrise
And used a shiny butter knife to 
Spread it across the horizon
I watched it melt over a fresh,
Warm new day
There was the dark memory of 
Evening still lingering
Like black coffee
 the strange 
Shade of moonlight
 faded slowly as the day wore on

Your Hidden Chambers

To be with you is just sublime
I need you more and more each time
sadness like rivers falling from the sky
drowning me indifferently
as I lie still and cry
You've carried me away
To a place where I could never stay
To see this chamber in your heart
To know it exists and be told I can have no part
It's the finest form of your twisted art
Your callous cruelty
Your final blow to my pulverized heart

Prepackaged Happiness

There are little boxes
Of happiness up high
On shelves where 
No one can reach.
They are all yellow
And grey
And so light they might just 
Float away
