hard out of mind,
alone thinking,
I avoid pain,
I won't be sorry,
I know something.
maybe I learn,
it's time,
it's a matter,
it's just time,
it's a matter of time.
just lock my room,
mean to talk to,
people might have seen
no reminding back,
regret a single heart inside.
the numbers lift and imagine hearts
and courage to die,
weep at my feet,
wash troubles and imagine angels
around courage to die
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.

Poem-A-Day: Day 423
The Circus
New technology to burn
and no concern for prosperity.
The wheels now too late,
upset the lied,
upset the eyes,
and shame afraid.
Just waiting in the rain,
pieces dream in industry
moved on and gone.
See history strong,
and a future for man,
a lifetime skilful yesterday,
upset, though we lied.
The preacher close tempers despair.
Is that another tragedy,
a room once a future?
A working man, a lifetime
for yesterday.

Poem-A-Day: Day 422
Sometimes
It's not the lead hand,
it's not the clothes,
the floor,
you.
I just wait around as we fall.
Sometimes the harder the pain
the broken decides.
It's not the caress affection,
it's not emptiness,
your desire in bed,
the world.
Touch, satisfy your body.
Sometimes the harder the pain
the broken decides.
Sometimes the harder the pain
the broken decides.
Sometimes the harder the pain
the broken decides.
Sometimes the harder the pain
the broken decides.
Sometimes the harder the pain
the broken decides.

Poem-A-Day: Day 421
Leave Me to Bleed
It wasn't,
saw the neon door.
It wasn't,
saw somebody, your face.
Move in direction to bleed fatal,
It wasn't heard,
a name never heard.
It wasn't heard,
to meet a secret.
Suspecting done detecting to bleed fatal.
It wasn't,
saw a letter fallen.
It wasn't,
couldn't love mistaking.
Guess waiting, bleed fatal…
just waiting.

Poem-A-Day: Day 420
Victim of Love
I look like some fool.
Break over a wall getting higher,
Time won't end up victim.
Say some emotion.
I've been keeping you,
But through your talk
and your untrue,
you scream and shout protection.
I look like some fool.
Break over a wall getting higher,
Time won't end up victim.
Lock up inside.
You break this learned lesson.
Take declaration,
step back,
put on and avoid complications.
I look like some fool.
Break over a wall getting higher,
Time won't end up victim.

Poem-A-Day: Day 419
Sexuality
Do it anyway.
Give it everything.
Shake, move your body.
Love it or not: sexuality, sensuality.
Come, let's pretend
about sexuality.
Come, let's do it, sexuality.
Lose it right.
Use it in sexuality, sensuality.
Come, let's pretend
about sexuality.
Come, let's do it, sexuality.
Sensuality.
Come, let's pretend
about sexuality.
Come, let's do it, sexuality.
Strip it obvious.
Show it about.
Play, no, do it: sexuality, sensuality.

Poem-A-Day: Day 418
If I Could
I don't know.
You're talking.
I believe for yourself,
always listening anyway,
not listening
if I make the world better.
You know I make the world better.
I don't believe consequences.
I don't believe what is true.
Locking doors won't accept,
accept that I could a little better.
You know a little better.
I believe about the broken show;
intentions you hear.
Have you done enough?
Not for everyone.
I could make you,
I would make the world.

Poem-A-Day: Day 416
Hideaway
One decided
to know inside,
not hide it.
Broke down,
oh, why talk now?
Oh still, sleep still, proud, afraid.
Don't hide rejected.
The people expected it anymore.
Home now,
by a new world on your own,
still little, afraid to hide,
afraid love will slip away brave.

Poem-A-Day: Day 415
It Doesn’t Have to Be
On one side, the other divided?
You are one.
I, the other.
Divided we live.
No, your decision to talk,
but no one to listen.
It doesn't,
it doesn't have to
be like that.
Heart inside, any other divided.
Someone to suffer
broken.
Left to change
is the way to be.
Can't rearrange.
It doesn't,
One against…
It doesn't have to,
one.
be like that.
What secret calling?
Divided against the strong.
Ammunition
is right,
is breakdown.
It doesn't,
One…
It doesn't have to,
against…
be like that.
against one…
one.
To be like that.
You, one side.
I, the other.
Divided.
