What do all men have in common? 
Red, rattling armor,
Ass and breasts in their dogma, 
Actions in concert.

I suppose it's my problem...
Like cinnabar bath water,
and fear of god.

What do all red have in common?
Whatever shade, inside they want. 
Blue reflects poorly upon, 
Such asks their goddess.

Chris Adler stamps his feet,
Sick, he begs for his bottles,
I suppose it's Travis Barker's problem...

Egg Yolk, turmeric, rare.
Mostly about appearances,
Vitamin b12 and Riboflavin.

Such is the fellow person,
Complex, whole in concept,
Definitive, yet unborn.

Kinfolk, rhetoric, fare, 
Mosly about appearance,
Enlightenment, revenge.

Mild, is the field's air,
Be someone, she said,
As she left, I yelled:
"I'm certain".

Big curls, bench presses, 
High dives into the deep end 
Swim laps
Gettin' down with my boys
Hard drugs through the weekend
I feel that

Bike ride through the trees
See the colours change
Run flat across the bay
Just to tell my maynes

I'm bored, ditched lessons
I'm hitting up my best friends
But I'll nap first
Big curls, bench presses
Torn bicep and a bong rip
Yo, I'm good now

Skateboard through the crowds
Where the streets are paved
Eat shit, get scraped
I can feel no pain

Easin' down with my boys
Slow cookin' through the weekend
I feel that
A bit of strings, sum tings
Got damn, such a feeling
To feel that

The time has come to pass.
The hours sound the chime.
How do you write such pleasing words
that our time has come to rhyme?

The smiles that show your heart.
The eyes that calm the sea.
How do you find the time to love
all of the things that rhyme with me?

And just like me your bird is free
to spread your wings and learn to fly.
What is the cause that makes you flee
each time that life comes passing by?

We are just a plan that life is making.
The first romance that’s ours to share.
The time has come to rhyme what matters,
within the heart that bleeds despair.

Come to me now and follow my dreams
that uncover the pieces born of the past.
The time has come near to make a new change,
and untether the slave you have held in your grasp.

With each moment I write I am thinking of you.
And every word that I rhyme you are near.
It is my hope to rekindle a time we once knew,
before the heart of true love disappears.

By the tendril, sunset felt,
Like weapons in my belt, 
Chemistry I can't question,
Clarity in my bedtimes.
So lovingly I make expressions,
Like, at weddings,
Desperate for marriage;

By the ending, a farewell.

I feel like an empty vessel cast away
The only thing that hits my hull is the slap of a choppy wave
I have no crew on board they all found the challenge to much
The cargo I have is overflowing from deep within my hull
The milk has soured & the whey of the milk is all I am able to smell
I once was loved in such a way, the strength of it filled me up
I know it is hard to see not that I am old & withered up
The way she pulled me towards her, like there was always a rope connecting us
The feeling this gave to me is far too much to describe 
I know that is is hard to see now that my ropes have frayed away
The sails are saggy, no wind will fill them up
My rudder seems to be broken, around in circles is the only way it goes 
I fill with dizziness, that is all too much & reminds me of the day the love went away
I know I will never dare love again, this old hull can not handle it all again 
So I will keep going in circles seeing the same thing 
There is no joy, no crew to fix me up.
The old milk, in the old vessel has been left on its own
The stench will never leave.

I may have recently found a love of haikus...enjoy a heap of them! 


Such a small creature 
A fascination in green 
Life measured in hops 

Grading seems endless
Constantly processing...sigh, 
Your work is due friends 

Bike accident, ow!
Purple bruise on my kneecap 
Tiny tragedy 

Dead creature, a gift! 
Spare me your adoration 
Love in kitty form 

Humanity ruins
Each other, our home, all things
The one true constant 

Build each other up 
A constant stream of kindness 
Love creating joy 

Sleep eluding me 
Again I’m counting critters 
Heavy eyes please close 

This day could be good 
But only if you live it 
Stay here, keep trying

Tiny puzzles these
Haikus pieced together and 
Shared with awesome friends

im literally dying,
dying, dying, dying
i just wanna give up 
crying, crying, crying.

it’s cold in my room
it looks like a tomb,
it’s cold in the house
all the people are out
hiding from each other
not like those ideal lovers
we’re cold without 
a warm hearted spouse.

you’re shouting those words
i wish ive never heard
everybody is hurt
and left in the dirt.

for who is it good
and why is it useful 
that we don talk
the way we used to?

im literally dying,
dying, dying, dying
i just wanna give up 
crying, crying, crying.

but i just cant,
cuz im in tears,
i have many fears
we wont talk for years.

i wanna speed up the time
to help healing the scares.
it’s such a fucking shame, 
tomorrow’s valentine’s day
we should be having fun
but i guess it’s over now
cuz we dont love the same
oh what a shame.

it’s shit being alone
so darken your clothes
and shut up your thoughts 
it’ll be better in months 
but who really knows?
who really knows?

the bedsheets, striped linen, rumpled, unkept
the jar of half-full change on the nightstand
the dollar store notebook full of dated dreams
the bible, still lying in the nonfiction section of the bookshelf
the lavender curtains, billowing in the cool spring air—

I forgot to close the window.

the cat meanders in
after his nap in the blue blanket still draped
over the armchair, he stretches big,
jumps to the east windowsill, and tracks a cardinal, pupils blown wide.

parting is such sweet sorrow. (2.2.188)

Power, in the form of a word,
Flowers in the form of the world,
Cowards, in the form of the word,
Towers of form, of the world,
Yet so far from dirt,
So says the eyes:
If one wrote a novel,
Bible or implied shorthand,
It would be in favour,
Such is the land.

Like a hurt cardinal, bandaged,
Perhaps again it flies perverse,
Perhaps times himself per verse,
Per second, per lurch, per word;
Managing his time it finds a perch,
Challenging himself, flies the world;
Flies and bugs no more,
Pecking the spine it eats a horse,
Like a fuhrer pardoned, seminal, 
Perhaps one finds it not so curt,
Curtsies, words lies, Lord survives.
"I would make gentle return,
Messiah of none, I arrive,
Time to waste no more."
It hears but fury, speaks short,
"Perhaps past such things were worse,
Such meaning in verses,
Supple leanings of wings of worry,
Speckled and shiny this rock is yours"

I write without notes,
No goblins, or hope,
Aftermath nonsense. So?

I write long-form cribs,
Despite shotguns, dibs,
Despite skunks glibs:
Seven, Eight. 
Eight, Nine.
Just in time, coughing:
"Forgive my hands,
I am pandering, but
All I wish is to climb,
My trip divine,
My lips atwine, 
Would you be so suited,
Had I not arrived?"

In the middle, my tie mismatches,
Patchwork outfits, simple acids.
Dissolve an owners possessions,
Would ten not ask, where are my people,
Clothes and houses?
I would think at last, and note it,
Seven ate nine hungry and homeless,
To not play such a hand, preposterous.
By standards awful and longing,
With numbers staging off-brands.

Waiting, spicy feelings,
Hands tingling, vitae.
Dial again,
A few moments away,
His reckoning,
My fate.
Fountain, fairy meeting,
Handsome thing, you love?
Felt such was nonsense,
Your heart a curd, confess.
Your heart abscess, turd,
You depart as if fuss undue,
Who could stoop so low?
To like remarks of word,
A lonely teenager,
To be touched absurdly.

Headlights flashing,
His fools, my athletes,
Picture captured,
Is this your image?
Then post a back link,
Or get your ass kicked.

Quoth the stone road.
“Does a slug judge blood in a cut?” 
“I’ve seen a sponge pull the snow into it’s lungs.”
“How does brush on a bluff approach a shrub?”
Roads groan in prose as such that the dove dove and the grove was lush.
Lots of berries for the nature boys. 
Pure love it ’twas.

As I looked into my mirror  one day, I could see, that a sad little girl was looking at me. I said to this child where is your smile? Through tears she replied, "Can we talk for a while? Your mommy is dead. They took your daddy away. I don't know how you face your mirror everyday?" Besides the lump in my throat, I also felt, a tear trickled down as my heart begin to melt. Sweet Child you see, it is hard to explain, how people can hurt you and cause you such pain. but if you believe that God sent us Jesus his son, you can face everyday and you won't have to run. So smile little girl there is a whole new world of love and happiness and a brand new start, the moment you ask Jesus to come into your heart. Looking deeper yet, into my mirror I could see, that this sad little girl looked exactly like me.

He writes fights, such sadness,
Insult poetry, of life invalid,
Views fantastic, mantelpieces.
Cameras and angles fandangled,
Manic as the fan they turn.

Misunderstandable, as most magic.
Penned plans turn older, forever,
Less recognizable, less clever,
Done before.

Nobody is so great,
Nobody is so pretty,
Nobody has such class,
Such taste.
Nobody believes in nothing,
Nobody learns scales for melodies.
I am nobody.
