Sea Foam Cry --- I cry --- A Poem

-
Dances in dreams,
Running through stars,
We sat in the garden,
Drinking gasoline,
Freedom from death,
From that life,
Which we do not see,
To not hear,
Run,
Freely into happiness,
Released from the dredge,
The non harmonic plies of that life,
Chains thrown off,
In fits of rage,
Cry, oh darkness, cry,
Away,
You bastards!

Sea foam,
Green,
Bases covered in rust,
Graffiti, angry words,
Thrown from the balcony,
To the crowd gather below,
Rain falling, acidic, burning skin,
Fear that which we do not understand,
Do not care to understand,
Throw up untruth,
To keep that despair from ruining our lives.

We drank gasoline, limes,
To kill our minds,
Those memories,
Despair reached out,
Falling,
Forward,
Into dark,
That deep lake,
Drowning us,
Wishing to not hear our cries.

We tried,
To swim up,
The chains upon our ankles,
Held us down,
To the bottom,
We wanted to breathe,
But in our mind,
We were trapped,
In madness,
Our happiness fake,
Masks worn to hide that frown from those public eyes,
I'm okay,
The pills do lie,
Hide that true emotion,
To cry,
Midnight hour,
Where no one can see,
Hear,
I cry...

The Bar at the End of the Road

It felt like a bullet to the head, A pain of a memory, Deep in the heart, Raging in the brain, Better off dead, Found him face down, In his pillow, A song, Beneath the willows, Not enough whiskey To kill that pain, That memory. Who stood at the back of the room? He sat there, at the back of the bar, drinking his fifth whiskey, straight.  Lies became the truth, like those memories, slowly fading in the distance, a small trip down the road, stumbling, catching the railing, up the stairs. He fell into bed, drifted off into a weary sleep, fleeing from the nightmares of life, not wanting to wake up. Tonight, that random night, good night, he felt his hand shaking, grabbing the glass. She did so much better than him, but it still hurt, sitting there, at the bar, the place, those memories. Sleep much? The bartender slid him another drink, frowning at the mess of the man sitting there. "Hello stranger?" Hi. Bye. He stood up, stumble forward, tried

A LOVE LETTER TO YOU - A Poem

-
I love you forever, And another day, I love you more, Then life itself, Today was a fairy tale, You and I engaged in a kiss, I in a black t-shirt, You standing there, Looking kind of afraid. I am in love with a dream, A memory, A place in history, I drank a little too much, To feel you, To see you, My beautiful one, Pull you closer, A tattoo on your shoulder, My name in a heart, Thinking in a bottle, Of misery, And hate, As long as you love me, I will always love you!

A Midnight Dancer - A Poem

-

No one sleeps, Under broken, Hollow skies. Lights are buried under, The rushing water, The city falls into angry hat, Senile old men dreaming of younger days, Worshippers, shoppers, bowing, paying, at the altars that they made. Crowds staggering, Drunk from cheap booze, High from spiraling smoke, Dizzy from the dance, Into that ugly grave, A midnight dancer, Dancing across the sky, High, High, Flying through that midnight hour, A seamless wonder, A simple flyer, Higher, Higher, Whirling into cosmic rays, To live, To die, Underneath the midnight moon. She dances, In silence, Brillance, To hear the music playing, Inside her head, Moving in rhythm of that sweet song, Alone inside her head, Not seeing that roof top, But somewhere else.
