love Poems and Poetry

there was...

there was a moment or two
in his mind that still seemed
real in a world that too often
seemed surreal and swift
to knock a person down.
relentless life. living
outside the time-
line is dangerous
work, standing in
line waiting to time
travel perhaps with
a bag or a towel or
a pint of beer. small
smile. she would know
the reference maybe.

bittersweet

i'm dying the note said
and the other travels all
day and all night, drops
everything in that moment &
arrives quickly and sees that
the other is really ok. maybe.

-...we're all dying eventually.

that's not funny.

-some sooner than others.

what is wrong?

-they don't have a name for it yet. it's a new dis-
ease.

Sunday is for love

Sunday is for love.
that day most of us
use to rest and get
ready for the next
week. weak willed
lovers leave worries
for monday and if some-
one wants to spend such
an important time with you
it must mean they truly love
you.

Love is for sacrifice and
Sunday is for love.

i consider love

perhaps
too damn
much for my
own good i
sometimes
feel like cupid
who sets my
poet eyes on
a lass or lady
and within a
fornight they've
found their prince
charming and are
so happy it's hard
to feel sad.

i consider love an
internal force with
external indicators
and an external force
with internal indicators.

october (fest)

a cheap
beer and
no cheer.

alone w/not
even a barstool
to sit upon and stare
behind the bar, memorizing
the odd collection of items
kept back there.

back there.

festering thoughts.
i purge with art.
i create with
emotions felt
and visions
shared - those
moments, that
whole collect
-ion of words.

ionization of
base chemical
patterns of
electrical
impulsive
thought.

i keep looking
off the path to
this side and that,
hoping some other
half on some other
road will stop and
slow down to my pace
(quicken?) and chat
for a while and not

The Human Weapon of Mass Destruction

The heart is a bomb,
just waiting to explode.
Once you turn it on:
"Fire in the hole!"

Tick tick tock,
it's a heavy load
there time on the clock
but you know it's gonna blow

You can't make it stop
when it's trapped below
Diffuse what's on top
to make the countdown slow

Encased in the body
wired to the skull
one weapon so godly
most don't even know

They keep it on lock
but I do have hope
that some lady fox
will tell me the code

Flakey Stockholm

The monster of spiritual
politics
is missing
from the day he scooped me
in his mouth.
When I was there
I found my left hemisphere electromagnetic pulses
that I rarely contact.

I think I talked too loud,
& smelled too much of hormones.
For my words had him
spit me out,
because of a little defiance
on my part.

I didn't know a beast
with such power
could have such a fleeting response.

& so I sit there,
& he blames me
for the days
our mouths
missed.

& I don't even know where his cave is.

Haiku for lover sleep

We go naked in bed!
Lazy like rubawhile
Two worlds collide
And seasons change

Closest to her Heart

On the arms of the Williamsburg bridge, tumbling brunette
curls, Lisa’s hands sneak to her center, to unclose
her tarnished heart-shaped locket, which
forever drapes a
rosy fragrant neck—her cold, velvet skin where pecks
from my lips freshly smudge like fingerprints grease up
a photograph. Excitement locks my knees, finally granted
the gift of her secret within. But what I see dumb-founds
me: hog-neck man, shaven, posing, smiling
in suit and tie, cheesing—instantly the
lenses in my eyes rip, burst
straight
through my pupils, stick like
flypaper to

blackhole hate

or, escape;

cell by cell
i feel com-
pelled tow-
ard the black-
hole. naked ex-
cept for its effect
on surrounding sp-
ace and most likely
time. no way to tell.
no way phsicially
to travel through
those holes in
space where
the weight of
the universe
is more per
square inch
than anywhere.
