Letters To A Young Poet

Lonely disaster

October 16, 1991 — Filed under: mypoems

Lonely disaster To one not side by side Ruler never lasts Rhyme and meter Tongue and foot Basic blasphemy in the bole on the table Washed by unfamiliar hands Dreams covered in bliss No other may be as richouse Flavored life Colored desires Visions deranged Mismatched emotions to use for longing

As you sit

September 16, 1991 — Filed under: mypoems

As you sit in your world Watching the sky My sell is flying Turn away Try to wake No more thoughts Then to my sights A blur follows every movement The mind is in a room See the walls as they twist and flow The floor is no longer Darkness beneath your being Write home soon before you wake Cracks in the pavement distort Egyptian patterns Towers rise to the heaves Where is your ride Why can’t you speak Run to the dark through the right Can you tell me what time it is All day, no food, not hungry Feeling as though death is neat No worries Long day, long night Sleep will come as you dream of the norm One thought shall return The trip was good.

Call me into the shadows

July 16, 1991 — Filed under: mypoems

Call me into the shadows With the rest of the followers Taking refuge in deceit Steel we can among other things Anything that is not we can make true No matter what the thought is We can change and mold them to fit our desire Scorn us on one side Lust for us on the other Through the days we can enchant From our favorite dreams comes your worst nightmare The shadow in which we dwell and spy You shun and wonder Break our code I doubt it

Success

June 16, 1991 — Filed under: mypoems

Success Crush me with your drive The eyes on me are of pity No grace for the ones who fall Christ beats me with his crutch Whips my hide till it bleeds Curs my being you might For what reason Because of fall Never will I turn to you Your society tripped me Raped my innocent mind only confusion will fallow Leave me be My own world where no one trips your grace of shadow

The glass

December 6, 1990 — Filed under: mypoems

The glass in which eyes peer Not warped but slightly cracked Weather worn smooth Comforts of home Restraining sets us free That blurry world seams less simple Once the world is almost Close Too close Very painful Take it and run Sit and stair at the wall See the mound of paint Things are complex only for a while Forget about it Relaxation come in handy Though it came late To have and to loose is better Than to ever have at all.
