Thomas Case Poems

1.

She worries about
everything,
real and imagined.
'What if this? What if that? '
...

Her heart was
my port, as I
sailed lost in
those
...

The night is torn apart;
fractured and shattered by
the memory of you.
Stars shake and die,
...

Back in my bone crushing
poverty ridden days,
I collected cans for nickles;
enough cans meant booze and
...

Being polite or kind was
never an aspiration of hers'.
And the level of
selfishness she displayed
...

I'm not hungry.
How many times have
I said that?
This time, it's the

I guess I shouldn't be
surprised.
In the
beginning, the women are

Above all,
God is an artist,
and His greatest
creation is us.
...

She had that
octopus smile,
always reaching for
something.
...

Saturn is in
line with
Venus tonight
but, nothing's easy

Here comes another
classic case of
writer's block.
Cock soft,

Judas betrayed Christ with a kiss.
As a confidant, Brutus stuck
the knife in.
The betrayers are

When I was a kid,
my Mom would pretend
to be dead.
She'd lie in bed, and

14.

When people annoy me with their
constant complaining or their
non stop arguing, or even worse,
their illogical demands:
...

Every time she
kicks me out,
she throws my stuff
away:

It's been five years, but
I still miss her.
Home was in
her arms.

I hear music in
my head when I
look into her
eyes.

The Best Poem Of Thomas Case

Worry

She worries about
everything,
real and imagined.
'What if this? What if that? '
I watched my
Mom
worry herself right
into the
grave one disastrous
December night.
She doesn't care.
She wants me to
worry right along
with her.
And when I don't,
she
gets pissed off.
My Dad used to say,
'They can kill us,
but they can't eat us.'
I share this with her.
Nothing!
Just
worry, worry, worry.

I have been writing since I could hold a pen or crayon. Words were my food. My influences are Bukowski, Thoreau, John Steinbeck and Dylan Thomas. I write about the gritty side of life.

Thomas Case Quotes

If I don't write, I'll die or go crazy.

'If you were born a writer, then you don't really have a choice...it's like throwing up when you're sick, you have to get it out.'

There is a little boy that hides in the dark corners of my soul.

With writing, you have to take them into the scene. Make them taste it make them smell it make them hear it make their skin crawl or their heart melt.
