Rodney Dufault Poems

We've all this blood passing through our ventricles
snaking through our bodies just like tentacles.
Without heart's our brain's are only vegetables,
and the language of love would be unintelligible.
...

I just want to move on,
and be rid of the pain;
Now that my youth's gone,
and I'll be a kid not again.
...

You are the only one for me and you always have been.
What you have done to me I never thought could happen.
You found a way under me; Broke through my substratum.
I had destroyed me utterly, but you raised me a fathom.
...

I don't be blastin' no techs/ or even cashin' no checks/ but I'm having passionate sex/ with the only woman who can handle my ass you can bet/ layin' kisses down the back of her neck/ and if I had to rate our life, It'd have to be X/ we're like rabbits, I jest/ so let's just go back and reset/ back to when our two dumb asses had met/ and some of the mistakes we made were tragic at best/ but we pulled through anyways, like magic. We're blessed/ It's hard to contain this love even in this massive a chest/ I sometimes feel my mind unfastened, a mess/ and you're right there asking why I'm sad and distressed/ when I find myself thinkin' of when I was an assassin of flesh/ and I've gone back to unrest/ you fire me back up like a dragon with breath/ and the best thing about that is I never had to ask you for this.
...

I've survived just like the rest of you folks.
Survived the damned man who made me, a joke.
Survived being choked and smoking that coke.
Survived being broke and the harshest words spoke.
...

I dreamt one night of losing you.
I do not know to what or whom.
I know my dream was most untrue
for losing you I will not do.
...

I love a girl who loves me not,
but God knows my persistance.
While she seeks for what she has sought
I will sadly keep my distance.
...

You will always be a part of me,
my heart, my mind and soul,
and I will love you for eternity
throughout my life in whole.
...

One last time I say to you
'my love for you won't end',
while every night I pray that you
will always be my friend.
...

A single tear I cry today
for every time I have turned away
from any fears I ever had.
I cry for ever being sad.
...
