Could you pause,
Stop me and rewind
Skip your previews and
Jump to my ending credits?
I've lost touch with
This plot was garbage from
The beginning is full of holes
Who scratched the disc?
Clouds like clenched fists
Pummel our scene with
Your words sting like hot soot and
All because Chim-Chim-Cheree sounded like a dirge?
If you want to,
This mangled movie
Fixed in a jiffy with only one phrase
We could switch to blu-ray
No more skipping or scratching.
Our Happily Ever After.
Waking Up to Forty-Two
My Life
Sip the latte burn the roof of my mouth
Dont let the scab heal knead it with my tongue for days
Take another drag curl the smoke past my lashes to sting against my eyes
Keep the eyes blood shot to sleep is to be weak
Push through for just another week.
The end was never in sight the tunnel light was a train
Higher education hit me the wreckage tossed near and far
My weary hand places the pen down nearly empty from use
On a scratched record spinning in the corner Joyce, Dickens, Keats
And then repeats.
The spacing - off the gramm
Sharing 103 Years
Watching The Moon nap away - I wonder why
She has descended from her vantage point high above to mingle
With the common folks that admire her so
The electric bed molded into a chair to fit her mood
She sits, asleep - so deeply asleep
Unable to hear the bustling of nurses - or
Our greetings as we enter the room.
This room is quiet - the television barely pushing through the air
This room is oppressively warm - it sits on me like a dead weight
Grandma, Jenny, Jackie all there
I keep looking at everyone's faces, but they reveal nothing
Like ancient stars in orbit - they are content to watch The Moon
My youth bubble
A Plea to Falkor the Luck Dragon
Like the Childlike Empress, I have fallen ill
Parts of my rich Fantasia are winking out
A land once lush and dense with imagining
Replaced with darkness unknown
Unseen I travel within to find an answer.
But all the while I am being chased
Big black beast thrives follows me through
The Gmork messenger for The Nothing
Helping to eat away the world with sweet words
Wolf concealed by sheeps skin
Convinces me there is no hope
Conspires to stop me before I find a cure.
In The Swamps of Sadness I cannot get any farther
I only have to believe in myself

Gregory House, you have better things to be doing: watching, listening, and saving lives
Of people you dont even care about
Im in need of a specialist - Ive added my name to your clinic duties.
If only for the autopsy.
Ive heard a rumor that you like puzzles
Pieces fit together just so or not at all.
And there is your problem, Dr. House
Theres no redemption to being healthy one day and a cripple the next
No improvisation that you are anything but a miserable man
But at least there is dignity in that
Better to die as what you are than as somethin
Adams Apple
Was me that molded you from pup to dog,
Was my hand what made that muscle strong,
Made your skin sweat silk, your breath song,
Your mother created you, I made you man.
My wild beast you will slip through my grasp,
Even now I see how your eyes stray to the east,
Blue- Ocean Upon some appled Eve they feast,
Her breasts and thighs will tame you yet.
No doubt both crisp and flesh will be her fruit,
One bite of it is sure to soften any wolfs tooth,
And you, my love, will always be blind to this truth,
She waits for you far out on that deck.
And as God has watched man destroy to be,
I will st

Finally, I am a graduate of Jacksonville University. Now to find a job and pay some bills in the real world.
Posted up the poetry portfolio. It's a confessional collection and I'm pretty proud of it. I titled it all "Rejected Fortune Cookies" and it earned an A from the professor.
Was told I can probably try to get it published someday once I add more pieces to it. And Hollie totally has dibs on illustrations.
