Phillip Chames Poem
I saved you from saving me, I had no choice.
I drown every time I see you.
I am sinking facing you, you are still- eyes wide shut.
I am paralyzed in fear, disappearing today together,
Hopefully tomorrow we could both be reappearing.
I cannot save anyone, and I know that you were told,
Someday I would save you. Dead Again Together.
Panic and pain mourns the fact that I could never be your man.
I only knew my mother's womb, through flesh, I transgress.
Only spirit abandons the soul, as the soul is locked forever in the past's tomb.
Where are your father's hands, he can scoop you out my dream.
The man that your Daddy was, does not reside in his dream that you
painted, pure nothing until tainted.
I can only save you from comfortable bliss, holding your head into the
blazing mist, that you and I somehow miss.
Denial acts innocence and the verdict is lost in the incessant wail,
Damned forever, by love, living in the static of our singular dream.
I never wanted to infiltrate your freedom. I pushed you in, and so I must drown with you,
We are sinking closer and darker, the floor is where we will disappear,
I don't want to disappear, the floor like smoke, I remember how to choke,
My favorite teacher has now become a preacher
and so we gently touch the bottom and a blinding silt swallows us into the oblivion
of all.

Phillip Chames Poem
you were always there, behind my back
women
a receiver
a concealer
a deceiver
you did what you did
while i bled among the dead
what follows must be read
this is what you said
Welcome to my world
you lost the toss
and now i am your boss
all that you lost
is the cost
of the frost
unwelcome
and cold
do what you told
follow the gold
for me to enfold
follow the gold
follow the gold
now hollow
back to back
you must swallow
the final attack
drown down
in the shallows
on your back
a weight you lack
it is the fate you create
to wait at the gate
the glass you cannot permeate
please go
please go
please
