Smooth rounded lips
bring self destructive bliss
to a wretch wrecked.
It’s neither calamitous
or calamity
that lays its weary head
down to rest assure
the only things worth knowing.
As it turns out,
there isn’t any worth in knowing,
only things intangible abound,
bound to hell
in broken down baskets,
because the irony
is murderous.
I am the best thing you've never heard of.
I hold a Bachelor's in English, History and Secondary Education, and a Master's in English: Creative Writing, though my appearance belies intelligence.
My goal in life is to write and to be read. It's a modest stretch by most imaginations.
To most I'm amazing.
It all depends on your definition of literary merit.
