cheesy potatoes

waiting for the other shoe to drop
i took a hammer to the head
wound up back here instead
thinking of the ways we use to flop
take a roll in the hay
that futon never strayed
and so I say
take another shot today
spread myself thin
wise crack a jolly grin
I wrap my arms around your neck
in dreams and daytime memories
so please
come to me
I slip my heart out of my chest
present it to your beating breast
and free
the love in me
I held back for so long
the waves crest with this song
so come to me
tonight I plead
I wait for you with yearning needs
My skin desires your breathes breaze
come to me
come to please
me

Don't Open Untill Autumn

I set my mind
to ten o-clock sharp
as the knife I used
to know the way forward
word play in mind my mouth
echoes fingers typing keys
that click and render me feeling-less
numb to the touch of my
former insecurities
this time I tried
and pushed to the ends of me
in defense of me I lied
when I said I was ready
my intellect denied
by multiple choice entropy
a skill I kept sacred
secret no longer frequent
are the tapping of keys
in late night sequence
sequins like quills in a former life
pronounced quite different
pro-choice without hype
and is this business just
risk-less inference
of line to line to rhyme to
left behind
I shine when I weaken
I bleed in morse code
dot-dot-dash
my reasons inclosed

LONELY MORNING

Morning comes without

Risk or doubt

That day will come together

Bringing forth another letter

Mailbox sits idle upon the lawn

Its mouth an open yawn

For lack of mail reception

Deceptive in its lack of expectation

Taste this dawn’s breach of nightly rest

A breathe of boring hex

Upon the day ahead

I cannot draw enough of it

Cause without tone erupting

From my telephone I’m something

Less than satisfied

Anxiety ridden

An embodiment of

Something hidden

So toll that bell within my slender phone

A conduit to home

And healthy pleasures

Safety first

Ready measures

For angry thirsts
