I’ve lost my ability to write some flashy poem
An intricate way of telling you every feeling
My actions are clear how much I do adore
Every little way you cross your legs and lick your soft lips
Now all these lines just fill up empty space that’s everywhere, but our mattress
A place to go where all our love ignites into a beautiful song
You’re a songbird when I touch you...
Getting it all out in the open. This is the end,...
I’m slightly distracted now-a-days with all the bombs that have been dropped, and right on my house no less! I can’t find time to worry about my ex-wife and what the hell she’s been up to. Instead I make some time to email her lawyer about how she tries to swindle me! Now she won’t fight the facts, and she’s right where I’d like her; across the...

Silence on the smoke deck at quarter to three
The stars are about playing their darkest hour
Four fall from the furthest corner and whisper into the sea
Drawing up colors of algae as green melt into the waves
There is no feeling like the China sea
Not a ship is in sight for days becoming weeks
As I turn to speak some words a marine lights his square
Instead I bite my tongue
I know to let...
Today she fell like a burning star
She’s a rolling rock on a crooked highway I paved
As much as I loved her
We were friends in the wrong direction
She moved to California so I could show her the water
Cut the cards on the poker table
I’m a spade
And a spade is just a spade
In this house of dealers there are no winners
Instead of driving we flew apart
A mountain and the hiker...

When I said I feel like I’m 18 again
She said be careful of the fall
And so I fell flat on my face
And another asked a question if I learned anything or if I just focus on how they changed me
I’m jaded and diseased by my own thoughts without a word that comes to mind but hate
Yesterday I cursed out God and told him to get the fuck out of my head
When I asked him to take my life...
I’m walking talking bad seed laced with cocoa leaves and old english.
I’m liquid morphine dripping down the stream of your dying cousin.
I’m sorry for him still kicking
If we could take it away in a moment we would
So I suck at this game like my high school daze. Got high it went away only to deliver jesus rolling in his grave and today another day in this so called...

When your cold the world just turns it back on you
When your hot they find ways to extinguish you
And if your mediocre you might make it to college and get a degree and not know how to use
Kind of like my father who turned in to the police man
Now he’s wearing a security badge in downtown Boston
Or maybe you can be like my mother
Barely passing high school
Now she’s got a job...
So I ain’t wrote in here for awhile
While I been away I been writing on dirty napkins and paper scraps
Just rappin, with my boys having fueds and battles
Almost lost my job to an assault case and a drug overdose
Now I’m known for my infamy
Famous in my own mind when I write these words and spit an ill verse
I lost my wife over some dumb shit, but it’s alright
It’s my...

I spun myself around the planet and cared less
this careless,self-disrespecting,dynamo with a fast track to self destruction
Weaker than the piss he just took in your neighbors bird feeder
but hardy hardy har bitch I’m a real rude, crude, angry bitch (period)
with a mean streak for people who can’t add up to me when I’m on point
with the pen and the paper
Tear my rolling...
Johnny Storms back in the room so fuck you and who I told you I thought you were but I know exactly what you look like when I took a glimpse in your book and I ripped out the pages and the bullshit written on them and watch your discerning face as I make paper airplanes and fly them across deserts and I fly across arctic winters when I feel a little colder and take a dive into the atlantic where...

When I was a little boy you stole everything
You took my toys, my books, my clothes
Anything you could get your hands on
Your hands all over my good looks
Standing in the bathroom looking shook
You’re a crook
Here’s a nook take a cranny
Keep running in circles in your jammies
Daddy won’t catch ‘cause he’s not there
Peek-a-boo
Turn around Elizabeth
Your...
In my conclusion I think everyone’s a little bipolar
This messing around with God and The Bible
Now older and wiser, but before the days come to an end
I Think I should just bury the keys.

I took a crash course in love from a family who had known nothing about it.
Now, I brought shame upon this family’s name.
Cried wolf, got shot down, and shot up.
For each mishap that followed was a piece of heaven holding a gun to my head, saying
“Never again.”-
But, the Lord let me walk-
He saw the chilling secret I had been hiding all along
It drove me to insanity
Now...
Creating is easy
Maintaining is where the difficulty lies
As laziness breeds evil
A devil awaits in idle hands
Nothing new
Something new
Something old, borrowed, blue
Reminiscent of the marriage that captured some innocence of life
Soon to be trite and true
But unmaintained
Something disastrous and blue
Along the way I came to believe that it was me hiding behind bloody sheets
A dark warning was shouted to me. That it was me.
“My golden trumpet, begotten was your family
One within the father;
Another on the wings of the dove
And you from the lamb,
My son-
You drove a blinding light on a desserted highway
And then you came to burn out
As you burnt out
My fire filled your gullet...
I opened my mouth and God slipped out. I was wrong when I slipped a little pill into my glass, but she opened my eyes to a world I would be with; just this mixture and the refusal of my baptism, so I can’t be too upset with what I chose to do. This leper’s cure to a common dream kept me coming back until I found my cure in me and the Lord lifted my head and said “Leo, follow me....
On my way home Miguel asked to use my phone in exchange for a dollar
I declined his request and said I was in a rush
I saw him moments later at the trolley station
I felt slightly bad and that’s when I felt a whirlwind gather around me
“Go home fast.”, said the voice in my head
As the trolley came I stood to my feet and felt weak at my knees
Getting on an opposite trolley...
The eyes of the world went black and grey
A fading star left it’s sky and crashed into a far off lake
No one had seen this place before, but now they come to take pictures
A woman stayed in her house and she watched the news
There was no effort for her to get up out of her seat and she was forgiven
The lake drowned itself and several people weeped in sight
A mountain sunk below like a...

The world wrapped around my cane and I couldn’t feel where I was going
Until I closed my eyes and my dreams led me blind
A feeling of offset glory and mistakes
Where do I fall in your footsteps?
I’m in the sand and everything is broken inside!
Where do I go?
A portal you discovered and you hide what you left for me to find
Who can you call when I sleep at night?
When can you...
Three days it takes you to realize your the mirror
And everything she ever told you about you
A fortune cookie love
A recipe for disaster
Ulterior motor vehicles
I’ve got the keys, a heart hanging by the mirror and a dashboard jesus
No love in sight just a ticket to the edge of the world
A one way ticket and passport to jump
When I waver in the wind and the clouds feel a bit closer
...
The way I followed you before
I had only a heart
It was like the blind leading the blind
Until I actually closed my eyes
I opened my mind
Closing my mouth
And swallowed my pride
My throat felt dry
I’m died inside
Now I’m revived
No lies
Just life
There use to be a time where I was a young lad sitting upon a stoop, kicking rocks, throwing stones on and open lake, or playing man hunt with the rest of the neighborhood. Three different neighborhoods growing up, but still same town. Everything you know is around you and with that said parents let you do whatever you want. When I think of those days I get full as if I ate a weeks worth of food....
The air was squeezed so tight. My lungs fought to grab a single breath. My heart collapsed in my chest. I could feel the desert coursing through my veins. The knife she used was dull, but she cut with such precision. She’s done this before. A malicious whip of her tongue cut me down in size. I fell in love with the way she would move. Though she wasn’t a princess cut from stone, she...
I must be prepared to take my last supper
And spread my body across this table
I’ll be a pig with the apple in my mouth
Feeding tender souls who were kind enough to stick around
And the girl I had to walk away from
She sits at the head of the table
Her eyes welling up with tears
And a final blink I shall give to recreate the love we shared
Before the knives cut at my gullet
The...
As my mind opened to the heaven’s above He reveiled to me a deep “not-so-extremely” secret gaze into the works of the wicker basket of the world. As I thought to myself where did all the saint’s go? He said,
“Spun around in the air like a tornado. Being tossed around up in her might seem pleasant or beautiful in a way, the whiping and the open space in which to...
I: I am embarking on a treacherous journey through wilderness. The book I had in mind may do better as a poetic screenplay! A young man in the ups and downs to find his own in the military lifestyle, but never forgetting what his higher calling is. He falls from the church and is brought back in to the mix with a supernatural twist. Some events will be things I have experienced. I intend it to be...

I let so many Demons in, in, in
Little do they know I will win
I let the light miss me
And I did it on purpose
I lived with the devil and he taught me well
I let so many demons in, in, in
Little do they know I’ll win
I chased a little red pill with a bottle
I grew to know that in here is where he hid
Into the dark I become engulfed
Overwhelmed? No!
It’s something I must do
...
I step into his dream
A lair in which I retreat
The focus of my pain
A dark and weary road
And the rod I hold to stand
His pasture grew of fruits
His necklace drew me in
A ruby red glass with drink
I drank and now my cup is bare
An empty forrest below the sand
Blood that stains these tired hands
I’ll rinse and scrub and burn them still
The blood remains on them
And into the lair...
In these times I’ll retreat to the fully flourished Forrest
The tidy waves may seem so neat and sweet, but I have been out to sea.
By morning, your glory and red sun has risen
Time for lunch and the sharks come swimming
Nestled all cozy beneath your keel
Your hull gets cracked by the evening squall
Taking on water and your last chance to bathe to wash your sins away
So don’t...
I’ve been stonewalled again!
By lavender wiffs and valiant bees pollenating in the summer breeze
Those blades that were cut to let their aroma free
A song bird sings above the trees
Her harvest filled us in the winter chill,
So light we’ll eat to restore the fields
A miracle it’s been that we made it here
Of harsher winds and dreadful years-
have been washed away with the...

Take me into the tool shed to grab an axe
We’ll walk our days through the tender woods
The crackle of leaves and cracking branches falling beneath our feet
Cutting only the proper tree
The one who waits
You’ve seen here stand lonely by the tapering stream
“Timber!”, we yelled
With no one around
What’s the point when her limbs hit the ground.
Just to sit by...
I’m no king of anything or a jester for the matter, in fact,
I split peas for dinner in the back alley of a crooked town
Double speak spilling from my lips to alley cats and stray dogs
Even the look on their crooked teeth says it all
And when it rains in this place yesterday’s newspaper covers my head
A little salt in these wounds should do just fine
I like the sting of bees and...
Monongah:
Across the river dressed in a pale white sun dress; The minor’s daughter sits on a boring rock. Hints of green aura, maybe just moss, lining the bed. Another lonely day outside a tattered, worn cabin. And the crows are singing but the birds ain’t chirpin’. Shrieks, shrills and Saturdays in your mother’s old sun dress. I can’t be your hero in the dark cavern....
He said the waterfall’s coming
When it rained for days and weeks become years
Aged on the face of an old man
Drinking alone
The front porch and gardened lawn
Forged in the southern sun and dusty roots
Wrapped and trite
His beard-
The vines on the majestic falls
Entwined with the moss below
A slippery stone
A fish that escaped the net
A woman bathing in the pooling water below

I remember running in from the kitchen
With a knife in my hand and stabbing you in the chest
I thought it would get rid of you but now you live in my head
With every thought that escapes is some clever little line that’s yours
And I can’t describe how much I’d like for you to die
And the reasons that are keeping you are sticking around
In the end of a horn that is placed in...
I’d have to say we lost touch
Wether it be the telephones we don’t use-
Or the wires we forgot to send
Pressing buttons has become just too easy
So now I’ve got better things to think about
If not for that I’d be lost amongst the sea-
The people in which we see
We witness technological hinderance
Instead I recede into the hair of an elder man-
A wiser one at that
...
Instead We Got Eggs and Bunnies
Rugged hands feel for-
The handle of the hammer
A swift hit tightens down-
What will never leave us alone
The poor carpenter’s son-
took his wood and nails to his tomb
A cry for war on a deserted road
The engine roars across the plains
A tumble of sage beside me racing against the day
Just me and my noble stead
The wind in my face
Just my sweet ladies purr
The bugs I spit out don’t bother me
For every bat out of hell
A man comes-a-riding
Followed by angel’s on horses
Now on through the day with a chug of the throttle
Into the night with a...
**CAUTION! NOT FOR CHILDREN! RATED MA!**
Fuck I can’t write
I just scribble typed these words
The spread on the paper, computer, whatever
Like the bread and the butter
Warm, wet, and juicy just like your pussy
I eat and I eat, but I can’t get my fill
Fuck I am sick
Throwing up in your sink with whiskey I drank
The stinky pussy I ate
The weed I had smoked
The bong water I was dared to drink
Now I’m five...
In all your victory
You out shine the brightest stars
The dark November skies can’t subdue
And the sun?
Well, lets just say you are on a crash course
Bathing in the freshest salts only dried out your parcel
So now your short comings
Always over compensating
Well, you, in all your glory missed it
You should have seen the gang
Torches and pitchforks
Roosting ‘round the barn
...
I remember the days we got band tattoos and it wasn’t to make our parents mad
I remember the days we got in a van and drove endless into the dark abandon
Another night down and even though we were tired and wrecked the next morning
It wasn’t to make our parents mad
No, mother this isn’t a song to apologize for the way I acted
But I’m sorry I hit you that night father
...
Solitude
Why I enjoy the night
Quiet in the early hours of the morrow
And I no clearer head, but now
As my thoughts dance like the ghosts in my livingroom
Alone
Sometimes is the only way to be
When now is for certain
And the voices resonate in my head
I understand their need to play tricks on me
Here in the dark alone
Can’t we work something out?
I tried so hard keeping myself alive
For me to go down like some wax paper wings
I could only describe to you in so many words
The awfulness I feel for the ways my hands worked
If I grabbed it and placed it in my pocket
So what if I didn’t need it
Principles need not apply if money doesn’t grow on trees
The guilt I harbored like numbered...
And where do I go from here?
When all these poets sing their hearts away
And the people listen
So where do I go from here?
I’d like to hear!
When my voice doesn’t justify my means
And I’ll be washed paper and ink
Drowning in a lake
Down the hall where the coroner finds the frogs I shoved down my gullet
And where shall I go from here?
I do not know.
So into the empty...
The birds flocked while flowers flourished
A heat wave set in in Mission Valley
The boys broke out their long boards
And girls put their bikinis on
I just sat with my beer in hand and watched the world go by
The wind gentle sung its spring time hymn
A barbecue grill brings nostrils to sniff
The boys played volleyball down by the pool
And the girls read their books in the sun
I just sat...
Poem 1:
You are the chorus
I am the verse
The part that never stuck in my life as a song
I’m no sonnet or hymn
I have a confessional booth around my neck
And twenty years from now I’ll have forgotten who I am again
So into the closet I shall close you in
My mind on a shoelace
My tethers and strings
Unwinding in monogamy
Detailing itself in hapless love affairs
Poem 2:
...
You are the six thousand faces I will never see
Trapped among the shells and sea water
Sitting and waiting with all the patience of a wise man
And knowing I don’t have any time
Well, the pocket watch I carry that doesn’t work says otherwise
And the nights I spent alone among pacific stars
A cigarette in my left hand toasting the moon
He hung himself so perfectly
And I think I...
