Ugly Heart

Some say
friendship
is Love
without its wings

2nd best to
Best
Next to
Next to
Nothing
but
cold feet
and
blue balls

-No amount
of makeup
can mask
an ugly heart

My 2 Cent

My Queen, Heart$. Black
as the Ace of Spade$

No longer
at your plea$ure
or my peril

As I fold a bad hand
dealt

I count my
lo$$e$

Ca$h out

Ill take my 2 cent
elsewhere

Eggshells

With smiles
fragile as eggshells
we tiptoed around
everything of importance

Settling for
safe
mundane
topics

Like last week’s news
and the color of your dress

Indifferent & yellow.

Dirty Kids

Dirty kids
to young to know
playing
in dead end
pot hole road
puddles
leading nowhere

While sisters woe
white skin
and brothers drink
to sweet
indifferent
oblivion
life still gets me
nowhere but
down

Fleeing Winter Days

Fleeing
Dark thoughts and
Winter Days
Schizoaffective
Disorder
Depressed
Somewhere lost
In borderland
Of normal
And
Schizophrenic

From Leviathan lows
To Heavenly Highs

Icarus must burn
bright
Or fail
and fall

Vultures

As the
vultures
descended
As the wolves
drew
nearer
And the sharks
, tasting blood,
circled ever
closer
I feared nothing
but myself
and my memory
of you.

The hand holding
gun is
mine
but you
cast the bullets.

Dodging Bullets

Dodging bullets
gathering speed
get over or rid of
the things that I need

Sliding down the
pavement of
one-way streets

From the ashes
From the cross
Against traffic
Against all odds

It feeds
It breathes
No longer needs

On The Road

On the road
Away from
monotone
mundane
tedious
tasks and toils
a day
becomes
more
than just
24 hours

A rare gift
A poem
A song
A memory
A chance
and lesson in Life
to be wasted
shared

Damage Done

The damage done
The bridges burned
The options gone
The lessons learned

The cards been dealt
The dice been cast
The banned feelings felt
The erasing of past

My trust
Lies crushed
And hushed
I lust
For rush…

…of by gone summer days.
