Pacific ocean love pt.2
I went to the ocean
for a day
the waves and the sand
kept melancholy at bay
soaking and burning
in this salt
water pot
cleansing my soul
when God would not
my life
in pieces
scattered across
a barren land
I was baptized
in the Ocean
where the heavens
meet the sand

Scared Boy
My book and life are falling apart
the glue that binds each
slowly fades with time
I have learned nothing
from my mistakes
And created nothing
from the pain
nothing worth reading or writing about

whinings and mutterings
from a boy too stupid or scared
too lazy and tired to do anything
about it
hang in my closet
next to the suit I wore
at your funeral
and the box of memories
your mother gave me
before she ran away

regrets don't
taunt me
or bring out the
beast in me
Couldn't you take me
out peacefully
instead of piece by piece
in by inch of me
I know you hurt
