You stand too close. Your cold anger Presses into me like a wasp sting. I try to cry out, but the words catch in my throat
I gulp for air Suffocating on your emotion I feel your breath on . . .

In the dark of night
In shadows deep
I dream of you
and scream for death
Nightmares are my smiles
Blood is my love
Blades of passion
Death I ask for you

I closed my eyes
Grasp hard on the
loving blade
Push deep
I beg for more
Stay away
Let me be
I am love
I am peace
I am opening my life

Death is but a pose
of reality
Blood is but a circuit
of life
Why cringe in fear
Death is but a pose of reality....

A forty-five caliber beer
Its liquid bullets gun me down
Naive, I was unprepared
Telling the barkeep to chamber another round.
A double-edged . . .

there in the redes of Remember,
the law of the fourteenth month:
and Love be all we have, or want.
a time whose walls were tender.
and ivy clung to spread the cracks,
and kudzu climbed across . . .

The snow stings.
Driven by wind,
it pummels my face
like a thousand tiny stones.
Next time,
I'll remember a scarf.
The next time
your words bore into me
until I bleed profusely,

I paddle through murky waters,
searching for that healing spring...
My cuts ooze,
blood spilling into darkness.
I gasp for air
as I search for light.
I stink of filth
as I search for cleansing. . . .

I visit the cemetery.
Wishing I were dead.
Can't breathe a word to anyone.

The stoplights will still change
without me.
And the world will go on
without me.
So why the hell
do I struggle to survive
when I don't want to anymore.

This is a poem I wrote over 10 years ago. Sorta dark. I've never shared most of my poems with anyone and I have decided I should, so expect to see more soon.

Beating deep within you,
Malevolent, bloodless, stewed,
Acting on your prejudice,
Confirming what I knew,
The darkness deep within, so skewed,
The dark heart that is you.
Poisonous and pestilent, . . .

Easy on the eyes...
A bullet to the head
fixed that.
Funny how the guys
who used to sit and stare
stopped that.

Lady in Waiting
Death. A sentry is lingering.
Souls will unite, Souls will fade. Not one shall elude.
Some will run, Some will cower. Some will come unafraid.
She abides for all.
