Spun seeds of hope bring fear and doubt anew
Once buried thoughts surface with vigilance
holding my mind captive of any sense
while the soft threats of his past deeds hold true

Unforgivable is what I said.
When I thought I was dying,
you went to sleep, you went to bed.

Assuming that it was all in my head,
I remember now,
unforgivable is what I said.

Chilled wet blades of grass
Brown and wilt while they await
Summer departure

Sensual sweat beads
Sweetly on the ripened peach
Falls flavorful fruit

Hard drops of water

I sleep on a dead mans mattress,
and try to forget that.
Sometimes there’s an odd odor in my room
and I convince myself
that there is a rotting bird in my stove.

They say
that girls would do it anyway
they would find a way no matter what
They would sit in a bathtub, using a hanger

I knew of a girl who’s husband
had drowned. She was desperate

I played those ragtime tunes
as if my song would somehow lessen the fear reflected in their eyes.
Being caught somewhere between hope and denial
we all wanted that unforeseen impossible

I keep it there as punishment
Self imposed penance
In the corner of my kitchen window seal

I see it every day

It’s been three years now. But still,

Stiffened tube of slender
plastic be.
Drawing swiftly upwards
my ice tea.

Oh useful tube of solid waste
You are bendy
you are crazy
And you certainly can spoon
You aid my bubble tea

While trying to read these floating words
I skew my head a bit
it's an ocular attempt at catching them before they completely float away

It's a nice and basic way of just being

How I Save The World

I help by picking up trash
to make the earth less thrashed

I draw signs
to change peoples minds

I spread the word
to help heal a bird

I turn off the lights

While checking on my zucchini plants today
I decided to plant a peanut m&m and see what happens.
I pushed the m&m about an inch under the soil and watered it with kool-aid,
then I took a nap.

HER

I didn't break you
you were that way from the start
stop blaming me for your actions
and your undeveloped heart

Yes I've tried to fix you
and my failures are so obvious

Off to bed I go
This will be a great poem
Once I finish it

Drink my void,
vast within.
Poke the hole,
as she bends.
Everlasting time escapes,
shake horrors image
back into place

You came back now
and so did the fear

I feel more than your heart
whenever your near

There's also this feeling
I can't quite describe

It tears me in two
and compels me to hide
