The cat has been crying
under the window pane
for five nights in a row.
A couple of times
she left a plate of milk,
giving a pat or two
on top of its’ head,
in hopes, it would feel
enough love to move along.
But to let it in
is more than she can bare.
The cat has too many issues,
missing a few teeth
and in a few spots,
scars lay where the fur had once been.
She puts up a wall,
feeling only relief
when the crying stops.

ConstRain
with the stale dampness
lingering in the air,
her stream
opened up to me
showering me with
her gentleness.
my thirst, quenched,
every pore, saturated
my clothing, my hair
drenched with the
memory of you.
today, sitting in the
constant rain,
I felt the trickling
splendor of your caresses.

Addiction
On odd days
The wind blows
With a grin, cause she knows
My weaknesses,
Encompassing every fiber,
Bringing me to my knees.
Swirling, lurking, waiting,
Till my feet are steady.
Welcoming it
With dreaded anticipation
Again, she blows
With suffocating comfort
Allowing me to feel
The familiar chill
Of past storms.

bridle lane
A street made of bricks,
harder than knuckles
the grudging cars never speed upon.
with calculated measure
the lined trees
never blow, and
the leaves never fall.
uniformed houses,
nicely fenced
with locks that never open.
you won’t find it
on any map’
cause it prefers
to go unnoticed.

Sifting through the scattered

a beautiful thing she was

the suffering.
every breath, she

Ready for combat
Slingin’ your words
For me to swallow
Like slick pie.
Sorry, but
I ain’t your fall guy,
Don’t bring it to me
Cause you see
The point of a spat
Is not to skew
Me to you
But allow me to be
Despite the blat!

You will
Feel what’s in

Eagerly

Maybe, you will see

Lean into
The zing
From my lips.
Maybe

Just Like Before
Washing dishes
Folding laundry
Watching her
on t.v.makes it tolerable.
The phone jolts me
out of my grind.
8:50
Sunday night,
can’t be the man
with a
hand in my pocket.
Hello!
Hi?
the voice from the past
echoes again
and again.
Fuck!
is the thought
hello?
is what escapes.
She creeps,
slithers, weaving
in and out.
She says it is
and so it has become,
in her mind.
BUT!
This time
my wallet stays put
her lies
I don’t buy….
until!
off button clicked.
Somehow, even now
it sticks
just like before.

the dwelling
a dark, cold room
a scattering of dust
here and there.
four walls
two doors on each,
just in case…
in the center
a locked desk,
with only one key
containing
a book of words,
scissors,
a whip,
a radio,
an empty box,
and an extra pair
of shoes…

A Dream From Last Night
She told me she liked the little oranges
the ones with the seeds.
She likes them better than
the ones I bought.
Sally is just that way
sharing everything
holding nothing back.
She knows me,
Well.
My buttons,
When to leave me
the hell alone.
When I’m taking myself
oh too seriously
She makes me laugh.
A friend
Last Tuesday,
I was being a pain
in the ass.
Me?
Little ol’ me…
HA!
It was a
you need to chill
moment.
From her lips, fell
the most peculiar thing.
What do you think about
the supermodel with the large cat?
OH MY!
The places a mind can go.
But she knew
the right thing to do,
at that moment.
A friend of mine
From my lips fell,
the only thing
I could say.
I hear it has been known to purr
loudly, late at night.
I had to borrow
a pair of her undies…
Don’t get me wrong,
Sally’s not perfect.
I don’t mind.
A friend of mine, if only
She’s starting to
take up a lot of bad habits.
The latest one,
Spitting
when she’s nervous.
Rickie, the hot
Barista
makes her really nervous.
You know
where that leads!
Being with Sally
is better than
the smell of
Grandma’s leftovers
from Thanksgiving.
Sally and me
will always be
like a child
with wings
when we’re together.

Thirst
The fever
sweltering inside,
steam building…
The sound
coming from within,
exploding outward…
The wetness
dripping from its source,
within my vessel…
And the aroma
tingling my senses,
beckoning…
My entire body
awakened,
savoring the silky creaminess…
bringing my latte
to my lips again,
I think of you.

Splattering the shit
out there
faster than I can think it.
Not worth much more
though,
than the pennies
that jiggle in my pocket.
Hell,
I’ll tell you
right to your face
rather than make you stew
it’s only
mediocre!
Why?
Cause it won’t
make a Fucking
difference
in the way
you see me!

Sunday Morning: the affecting
The Wind…
A breath of life
It swirls, tingling
my core.
Embracing me
in its force,
Penned in the rhythm, I sway.
All encompassing, It moves
through the depths
of my bosom
with meaning I can’t
understand.
Now a part of me,
I am held captive
in its wake.

For Sale
The lady standing there
big smiles, big eyes and

She holds a sign….
CASH FOR GOLD
The people
in their hurrying cars,
some throw a wave
or even a smile back.
I laugh inside myself,
cause I know
the value of a
friendly face,
even if it’s just
for pay.

For Lola
The day you died
the sun was shining-
your languid body…
out of focus-
just before,
you grasp my hand
with an open gaze,
your eyes know.
fear is closing-
Then you’re gone…
the room is cold
the air is gloomy
my sun is gone…
you can’t go yet,
I forgot to tell you something-
thankyou…
you never knew,
but despite my pain
because of you
I am…here

The Wretched
the evil eye
overcast my soul.
tears of anguish flow,

from the torrent of memories
i can no longer deny.
36 years and on we go
past the point, never to be reached.

was all it would take.
but today
I AM,
and never showing any innocence…
a message to them.

The Blinding Silence
The days are brief
The sky is blinding
We are told, but never notice.
The nights are long
The silence is screaming
We whisper, but never hear.
Dreams that can never be
are seen in the sky above
We only have to search.
Thoughts that are never shared
are heard in the silence.
We only have to notice,
and we will hear.

The Night
In the darkness of the night
I lie here, circles of light swirling in and out
Thoughts repeat, over and over
growing louder, LoUdEr, L-O-U-D-E-R
shoulda, coulda, woulda…
Please, make it stop!
In the darkness of the night
heaviness pressing down on me
restricting, racing, skipping
heartbeat
growing faster, FaStEr, F-A-S-T-E-R
shoulda, coulda, woulda…
Please, make it stop!
In the darkness of the night
swirling, pressing, unending
I wait, wait, wait
closing my eyes, the nightmares come
and it begins again.
My Mission
In the fever of wrath
words are viperous.
When the cold of night commences
thoughts chisel at the pith of my very essence.
This blood that boils thru my veins
is from the daily strains of my existence.
The hell you put me through
is my diurnal prison.
But it has sent me on a mission
to escape the reins of you.
