“This is the doorway time,
the passage from youth
to adulthood
Where we use words
we almost understand
and display emotions
we don’t quite yet know”
In Between and Hold You Dear

Nectar & the Tonality of Sex
“There’s a river in France called Touch…
I’d hoped to have seen you there with your hands spread
Memories of you & I skipping town, dodging clotheslines with the pant legs
Your hair kept like rose vines with the strands red
The nights we’d toast wine but demand less
Life was so fine. Our souls scribed in the grand nest.”
Dialogue Poem
“This used to be the place
you would take me when
life seemed small
Life always seemed better
with you in it, you were an
angel who filled the earth”
Broken (Parody of Rihanna’s “Diamonds”)
Dream bright like an ocean
Dream bright like an ocean
I find it hard some days to be me.
I don’t choose to be broken, you see,
but that scar and me, that scar and me.
We’re far from dreaming bright like an ocean faraway.
I work everyday with no money to see,
a want and need to fund my writing dreams.
Comic Book Heroes Gone Wild (Parody of Skid Row’s “Youth Gone Wild”)
Since I was young, I couldn’t put them down
Another misunderstood kid, another super identity found
Some never played by the rules while other boy scouts really cared
Some nasty villain’s reputation reigned everywhere.
Les Indiens Apaches de la tribu des Chikawas
A Bitter Mockery and Blazing Eagle
They say
that America
is an old whore,
who wore out her welcome
a long, long
time ago,
and now,
only pockets of sanity
remain.
Lost in This, I Took Some Bukowski to Driver’s Ed, and 10:46 a.m.
with no way of going back
we find ourselves lost in this
in darkness blind
in ignorance paralyzed
lost in a great between
floating somewhere
TV Blues and Other Poems
Life is hard with twenty shows to watch.
You can’t keep up when things get rough.
Forever on your guard, a writer might botch
favourite characters, write them weak instead of tough,
or ruin a scene that’s meant to be tender
between two characters that truly love each other
and make it violent because selling out the gender
is more important than love between brother and sister.
