The Wall
Only a fool would drive into a brick wall unsure of what’s behind
Knowingly,
I lose myself in the debris from time to time
And the aftermath seems like a storm we should all be consumed by
As the particles effortlessly fall
Like perfume,
Everyone is touched
She is my mid-summer nights dream
And I take it all too seriously.
The day I asked you to be my sweet potato pie,
I...
I need someone to call me so I don’t throw up everywhere on my way home.

For as long as I can remember
I’ve been pretending to not be in love with you.

Cheetah and The Man in the Blue Jean Jacket
Like a crime,
His sanity remains locked within the cage
He holds so closely to his frame
He smells of old wine
“That’s a hundred year old bottle.” He says
Offering up what was left of his courage
I pass.
As have the other inhabitants in cloth
I tell him that I’m on my way to class
I am.
He feels
He interprets
He tells me stories of the moon
And...
The 21 Day Experiment
No more social networking(besides Tumblr) for the next 21 days.
While the wife was out….
All I do is think about you.
….that’s not a song. That’s not a poem.

Make a wish
Reading You
leaveyouapen:
Just to let you know, you’ll never see my eyes move across your
sentenced affections, I stand behind your diary pages, heavily
scented in your ink and skin-oils, you’re my secret word,
I read you without it showing, your scripture
are this boy’s un- spoken
prayers.

I miss the way your face wraps around my neck like a cave we are both lost in.

I hear the huntsmen
Sharpening their axes
Only through hiding
Do I understand
The value of blood
And the color of value

They came on clouds
Words sharp as wolves’ teeth
Toturing the small children
Foreshadowing defeat
In the crimson river,
I saw god smirk
Armageddon begins
As Anna sleeps
She dreams of a Carolina field
Rich with bluebirds
And wild berries
We are all shaking
But brave
Walking towards the embers
The light
At the end of the tunnel
Like a torch
I open my American...

Inebriated Tongue
I am not drunk
I am honest
I am you
I am the forgotten layers of dust
Keeping you warm
I am the storm
An endless rainy day
Since she left,
I’ve done nothing but cry
And pretend that I’m not starving
So I don’t eat
I don’t beg
I become
Your nightmare
I’m sorry for it.
I just believe that we
Are soulmates
And I don’t think about...

Sound
I hear that
If I keep marching,
That this won’t end well.
They say
She’ll tear me apart
She says
She has no heart
I confess
That the mess before me
Is actually a grease fire
And there’s nothing I can do
To contain this
“Just step aside”
In about 7 minutes
I will distance myself from
Sound
Severing an ear before the conversations start
