The False Repentance

She walks around in misery
She walks around in pain
She walks around—making me go insane

Believing she has
Rights?
Believing she can she have
Ambitions?
Believing she can walk alone
any one of these nights?

What Nonsense
What Rubbish
…What a thought— that makes me tense

The power in her swaying hips
My power in my voice
The power in her pouted lips

No need there be

The Pessimist's Sky

Purple sky
Bruised by what was never nearby

Stained
White blotches, covering

Most of the veins
Yellow veins, they were

Pulsing
as well as attracting
nobody

regardless, of the effort

Well, in the least
That’s what she took from it

I saw, a

Gross Communication

Whose tender eyes
Are a sea of blue
My heart
Does not pertain to you
Thy may be the fairest
Thy may be the one
But alas—
My heart
Has made a decision

That’s as good
As done
Your faultless
To all
The irony

You know not
How to enthrall

Your flawless

Just Like My Father

Sunday morning
Yesterday’s cigars smelt like him
Bold
Specific in their smell

Just like my father

Always hyper
Sometimes amusing
Never genuine

Just like my father

His drinking
Is no dilemma
What leaves me queasy
Is drunk sincerity

Just like my father

London Rain

Reading that newspaper
oblivious to my luck
Tears fell on my shoulder
As I looked up

running to hide
it found me
As soon as it did—I had no choice to but to permit
This foreseen encounter
That London rain
Took me away
To a place
of no fray

As I almost immediately realized
It was better than I’d goad to have considered
Bluntly speaking
It was better than my sneaking
It was real
It made me reflect

Reality of the Unreal

There is a vast empire
where
mats of woven light
power the cities

Giving
petty butterfly space
to creatures of the sun
trapping them
in pandora's box

keeping everyone
-even her
from expressing

the pounding of instrumental drums
of sentiment
she catches love
with a butterfly net
in the fog of fairytales
