Fallen Too Far

The king sat in his silver bathtub one morning
And he realized, as he soaked in the soft bubbles
That you can not rule your kingdom from a silver bathtub
...

upon the arrival of the blinding sun
the earth drops thankfully into a rapid darkness
descending into the orbit of another godless mindset
obscenely unaware of a moral genocide
...

Words strung up in lines
Like Parisian lights
[Not to see, but to know]
In shining order
...

Weak, torn branches sacrifice the last of their crimson
Yielding a puddle of rainbows, collapsed from the canopy
Overhead, leaving only a bleak bleached sky
Dotted with the occasional bird or irregular airplane and
...

We the poets are roamers
Homeless in our skin
Always searching, frantic
For the words that lie within
...

laughter could have been but it wasn't
and she didn't know where
because she didn't care to
walked on down to the chorus line
...

The mountain air feeds my starving lungs
As I stand with others, waiting
My legs feel weak and my hands are shaking
But I know what I must do
...

Dear Mouth-
Concerning your recent behavior:
I have noted that there has been a lack of communication
Between you and my close acquaintance, Brain.
...

i just want to look at him and say
love me, damn it, love me
but he never looks my way
just walks by
...

Dear Loved one
Do not think that the bitter words I write
Are meant for you
And realize that the sweet ones
...

Dearest One
I would not hurt you or criticise
Only realize
The pain my heart feels
...

he said he was doing it for our relationship and I wondered aloud
what relationship, there's nothing
but he just looked at me with his bland oatmeal eyes and asked
why i did not love him like he loved me
...

I said something irregular.
It slipped out in a whisper
Soft and raspy, accompanied with a box
Tied in ribbon
...

Leaves dance by, leaving behind some sorrow
Laughing in the wind, careless in their roaming
Tears flow down my mind to remember that day
Looking out my window
...

Digress to a dismal dirge
Dare to differ with defiance
Detest what's right for the sake
(of) dividends.
...

One day and counting
It spans more than twenty four
Ive only now just left you
But now im back and wanting more
...

sometimes
empty hands
claw at my throat
forcing me to breath
...

feel the air.
it is so warm and soft, like a hug.
you cannot escape it, and the truth?
you'd rather not,
...

Turn your eyes and catch your breath
Watch as he takes center stage
Oh silent world, take notice
Of this beautiful boy
...

It's a chilly morning
This December
Doesn't feel like Christmas, really
Even though it's only weeks away
...
