The most painful dawn,
one can ever know,
is the painful death,
of love let go.
...

I awake,
Dreams burdened with your eyes.

A recollection of temperance
...

I’d love to swim in a sea of you,
Or Better yet
Your private sea.
For it’s quite amazing
...

Sun soaked revelations
on a patio deck.

I had long forgotten
...

Uncertain drops
Of anguish
Filter through the night
While waste water
...

The sun smiles,
forcefully examining the bitterness of the leaves
that have become
crushed under the weight
...

We wake up slowly,
shaded by romance.
She looks like a film,
that I am lucky to attend.
...

Don't ever have
sex with strangers
is what
a bird
...

Do you ever feel
that more is needed
to ease the grind
of the axe today?
...

Love,
is a twisted game of words.
Defined by the actions we speak,
I know of no way to compromise
...

I'm sliding off the rail
from which a mind
used to hang,
dripped in perspiration
...

Addiction is a curse.

Upon an afflicted soul
is a devil made deal,
...

In a roundabout fashion
propose if I may,
That today be a day
Of hedonistic conjecture.
...

From the first breath
as a little child,
all i have ever known
has been you
...

Nights mist
around my eyes

very similar to the fog
...

Sameness sets,
when unable to vocalize
the thoughts
that pursue it near.
...

Death to the tailor who made this suit.

I think to myself,
while nervously shuffling plain white index cards.
...

Delirium,
Misfiring bearings.
Opiate,
She power’s my train.
...

I’m a train track
With a knack
for coffee.
...

Never really one
for popularity contests
yet somehow
popularity found me.
