Say out, what make?
A crazy body,
hot infatuation got fire inside…
so bright.
Say hell, think done.
Drive higher,
higher out when nothing's going…
oh liar
No future,
the use in keeping wrapped alright…
Why fall at all?
Say hell, you drive.
Higher and higher,
make going on a liar as good as dead…
polish either.
Say don't, either make.
Fool heart,
rue tore head apart, move on…
right wrong.
Say hell, done higher.
Higher out,
when nothing's such a liar as good as dead…
don't polish.
Say what the hell.
Think higher,
and make when going on what…
hell, you think higher and out
when nothing's going such.
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 413
Pistol
Get your gun,
together the beat goes on.
Get your gun,
together we have some fun tonight.
No intervention on information,
the station,
the floor,
the law
crime prevention,
the population,
your name and number.
Get your gun,
together the beat goes on
a criminal situation.
Get your gun,
together we have some fun tonight
criminal.
You need your own protection,
too scared
to mention
the floor,
the law,
all emotion,
this commotion,
like a soldier.
Get your gun,
together the beat goes on
a criminal situation.
Get your gun,
together we have some fun tonight
criminal.
No intervention,
cover the station,
the floor,
the law
crime prevention,
the population,
your name and number.
together we have some fun tonight;
get your gun.
together the beat goes on;
get your gun.

Poem-A-Day: Day 412
Oh L’Amour
Oh heart now aching,
what's love supposed to do?
Looking for looking,
always reaching for blind to see.
Oh heart, leave me falling on my own.
Oh heart now aching,
what's love supposed to do?
Throw it away,
walk out for the day for the way.
A time by my side wasn't kind for the ride.
Oh heart now aching,
what's love supposed to do?
Emotional ties remember,
lay down, die, blame love; my heart.
You now tore me apart, hurt inside-out.
Oh heart now aching,
what's love supposed to do?
Oh heart now aching,
what's love supposed to do?

Poem-A-Day: Day 411
My Heart…So Blue
her picture
the wall
I remember
keep it
doors cold
windows grey
I write
I should
wave goodbye
my heart...
so blue
wave goodbye
my heart...
so blue
it's over
I write
No notice
less crowd
eyes open
it suits
dear god
no mercy
wave goodbye
my heart...
so blue
wave goodbye
for you
shed tears
no shame
a consolation
hides her
a victim
light shines
her picture
hold it
wave goodbye
my heart...
so blue
wave goodbye
my heart...
so blue
wave goodbye
my heart...
so blue
wave goodbye
for you

Poem-A-Day: Day 410
March on Down the Line
Out!
I'll stand on this sun.
A new day coming,
time, name,
the game on down the line.
To share about inside,
this place a shotgun fire.
A new way this time,
a new name,
the march down the line.
A new day coming,
time, name,
the game on down the line.
Now fight, stand tall again,
on our side dance to heaven
A new day coming,
time, name,
the game on down the line.
Day away,
coming this game down the line.

Poem-A-Day: Day 409
Love is a Loser
Forever let me know the cold.
Leave me devotion,
control my side,
a surprise is just infatuation.
Love is dancing so appealing:
rocking and reeling.
How did it happen on my mind?
Hold, and tell how they keep hearts
just more crazy all another.
Today word the passionless play forever.
Let that cold leave alone.
Show devotion control on my surprise.
“Love is infatuation.”
I say, dancing the stop today.
My word: the passionless play
across the nation.
Dancing across...

Poem-A-Day: Day 407
Heavenly Action
Made heaven,
all is some action,
reaction in heaven.
All is your action.
Found standing
in line, the mark went
through, a real impression.
On this heart, now what?
In heaven,
all is that reaction
made in heaven.
All is some of that.
My lover,
I want another angel.
Heaven be my want,
another from heaven.
In heaven
all is action.
Arrow heart,
meant to be my name calling
Celebration now standing,
stand in motion; falling, falling.
Angel made,
I want some of that action,
reaction, in heaven
all I want is that action.
Be another,
my heaven,
my another,
my angel…angel.
Angel made,
all I want is that.
Action, reaction,
in heaven is that action,
in heaven, all that action made
in heaven, all I want is some action.

Poem-A-Day: Day 406
Senseless
Go get captivated,
give secrets away,
drive senseless tunnel vision state of mind.
Alright,
alright to…
it's alright,
stay alright,
it's alright to feel
alright,
so it's alright.
There, some harmony;
the maddening silence,
hang, moving on confusion that's keeping behind.
Alright,
alright to…
it's alright,
stay alright,
it's alright to feel
alright,
so it's alright.
Alright,
alright to…
it's alright,
stay alright,
it's alright to feel
alright,
so it's alright.
There, better stop,
inhibition's slipping,
share the secret only state of mind.
Alright,
alright to…
it's alright,
stay alright,
it's alright to feel
alright,
so it's alright.
Alright,
alright to…
it's alright,
stay alright,
it's alright to feel
alright,
so it's alright.

Poem-A-Day: Day 405
Cry So Easy
The line don't want my unresponsive you.
the effort, you devil disguise
trying affection so easy.
Expect to believe
in love looking,
you're looking.
Say: “Never me,
can't believe in love.”
Looking danger opened up eyes unsuspecting…
fool effort.
What about tonight trying nothing?
Cry. Expect me to love that looking tears.
I can't believe love that looking for before.
So easy, expect to believe the looking…
the looking.
Say: “Never.”
But I can't believe that you're looking.
You see…
you're turning cold
like the effort now not mine.
No use in time to cry so easy,
believe that you're looking easy,
and I believe the love.
For the kind you felt before so easy,
expect to love that looking.
You're looking for me.
I believe that for me
they come easy.
Please leave me in the love
so easy to believe…
the love
looking.

Poem-A-Day: Day 404
Reunion
You've been on my mind,
waiting to arrive.
So the hours go.
It really got you here, blind.
I see light is alright with me,
so close time, see feeling.
Always mine, reunion…
this reunion mine.
Believe never again, saying:
“a fool whispering words ashamed.”
They tried to stop, still dreaming a world of sorrow
all alone, what a thousand nights more empty.
Believe reunion…
this reunion mine.
Feel fine with a true story,
somehow blues leave you behind.
Here together wasting time
calling in the air that something.
More than share returns
more sad parting.
I got reunion…
this reunion mine.
Reunion…
this reunion mine.

Poem-A-Day: Day 403
From now until I finish I'll be working on my series called Erasures2.
Erasure was a band that came to prominence during the 80s.
Erasures in poetry consist of taking previously written material and getting rid of the stuff that you don't need, keeping the words you want.
This venture will blend the two. I'll be doing erasures of all of Erasure's songs from the first studio album release, Wonderland, to their last studio release.
Who Needs Love (Like That)

Who Needs Love (Like That)
Who needs that something on,
something right,
something strange?
To me, the voices in my head
seem the way to be.
Who needs that who like that?
So clear before my point of view
kept conversation changed all wrong.
Words are hard around the same.
Who needs that who like that?
Turn upside-down and leave cold.
See all control, all control
to understand why
I remember lines.
But I see nothing now will stay.
Who needs that who like that?
Love upside-down
and leave to see
you're losing, losing control.
Who needs that who like that?
Turn you down and you see
you're control, all control.
