  • Flawless

    Sometimes I think I’m flawless though I’m flawed. It’s just that I am flawed  In ideal ways. My imperfections Endear me to God. But my idea of God Is Kurt Cobain.

  • Autumn—While We Have It

    Longing now for Autumn—for a Season so serene. Leaves litter my lawn and not a Single space between. Autumn bringing temperatures  So varied and extreme It seems reality is blurred And everything’s a dream. But if I’m really dreaming  When I wake what will I find? A hotbed here of Hell or just a World…

  • Ask Someone Who Loves You

    Ask someone who loves you why I care. Set a simple marker at my chair. I will be along in just a while. To greet you in the evening with a smile. I will hallow heavens for my bride. Meet my living maker in the sky. Ask someone who loves me cause I can’t. The…

  • Life

    Life is about loss and Life is about change. Life is about sailing on The seas of pain. How nothing Ever Stays the same. We only have Ourselves to blame. Love is a concept. Love is a drug Love is a perfect, Comforting hug. Love isn’t definable. Love is just love. Love—when she fits you…

    I haven’t written verse in quite some time. I’ve been too busy doing other things. But you’ve inspired me to write some rhymes. I had to try to put words to your wings. But how do I describe the way you laugh?That belly-borrowed hoot by human owl—It bathes me in a preternatural bathThat complicates my…

    A deadly fucking virus is abroad It came across the air. Across the sea. It’s spreading uncontrolled through guys like Todd Who will not wear a mask—he says he’s free.   But freedom’s an illusion. (news to Todd!) And none of us are ever truly free. Freedom is an effort to defraud The working class…

    Whenever there is sorrow there is pain And in-between them moments you could fly And I just get this feeling in my brain That I can make a difference ere I die. And that’s what motivates me, thus, to grow. I’m learning how to be much more of me. I’m trying to learn all there…

  • Sonnet One

    If love is all you’ve got I have enough Please bring me something challenging to me As difficult a problem as you’ve got And I will solve it expeditiously.   The only time I’ve loved was in my youth The only time I’ve lost to a degree. I wish that then I realized the truth.…
