Fighting Fair
I know you like mystery, suspense and drama,But I’m kind of tired, of living in your soap opera.So please stop the cheating, when we’re disagreeing—By raising the volume, in your condescending tone!You can’t fool me, you’re not winning the debate,You’re … Continue reading Fighting Fair
I Know Your Type
What annoys me the most, About your mannerisms, Is what I detest the most about myself. So why do I persist, In punishing you for my past? It’s not your fault, That you’re only human too! I wish I could … Continue reading I Know Your Type

Splatter On The Wall
There are so many thoughts, In the mosh pit of my heart. Shoving and pushing, Refusing to keep apart. Trying to command: “All Your Attention!” By forcing their way, To the front. They have no manners, They don’t take turns. … Continue reading Splatter On The Wall
Garbage In, Garbage Out
I’ve trashed my home,I confess, I’m a hoarder,Full of dusty memories,I’m not a good boarder. I’ve trashed my body,By drinking, until drunk,By taking bad drugs,And eating food junk. I’ve trashed my life,And broken a nice family,And hurt the kind spouse—Who … Continue reading Garbage In, Garbage Out

Cupcakes are muffins, Who believe in miracles. Cupcakes are muffins, Who’ve been transformed. Cupcakes are muffins, Who like to wear fancy hats. Cupcakes are muffins, With frosting on top. Cupcakes are liberal, Muffins are conservative. And if you’re a cupcake, … Continue reading Preferences
The Everlasting Truth About Love
I have more to be glad about, Than I have not. A beating heart, I still have; A poet’s brain, I still have. My heart beats faster, When I think about love. If I don’t ever, Get to feel loved … Continue reading The Everlasting Truth About Love
There’s an App for That
I sit in front of my computer, Rearranging words. And searching for motivational pictures, I can post on my social media page. Hoping someone will read them, And click on a like. Or better yet, click on my heart, So … Continue reading There’s an App for That
A Thorn in My Heart
I heard another knock on the door,So I opened it again.I was met by the icy stare of the Reaper;So I proceeded to let him in. Death took a seat next to Lucifer,By Heartbreak and Deceit.Now that all the demons … Continue reading A Thorn in My Heart
