Weldon Davis

I make you smile
The reasons why
Uncertain
...

In addiction
I lost a lot of old friends to recovery
I was stuck on the same
Principles
...

They send our boys
To die like dogs
In the Arabian swelter
Picking out roadside bombs
...

There is a sadness in my eyes
I need not explain
A lonesome whistle blows in the background
A midnight train
...

Oldies station plays a
Love song although I wasn't there when
Disco died
...

All the pain
All the struggle
All the late nights
I stayed awake
...

Like weasels they snicker
In dark corners
They laugh at the idealists
The poets
...

Red bull and pepperoni pizza
A smile
And I'm back
To thinking of you again
...

These words mean nothing
The pain it grips
I just wanna feel something
So I let em rip
...

Your beauty goes without saying
Intoxicated by your laugh
I can't help but smile
Your lips snarl and pout
...

You brought me into this world
Kept me safe from harm
I've never known such comfort
As when I was in your arms
...

I have an envy of Adam
I'd give my rib for an Eve
In the garden of Eden
With a god to believe
...

This philosophical love leads to profound realism
Intensified by nights spent in this prison
Every instant I'm away from you
My deepest love is in limbo
...

For weeks felt weak
For months felt blue
Through it all doll
I thought of you
...

I will take you under
My wings
Teach you things
To keep you safe
...

One day at a time
I'll find the new me
Discover talents I never
Knew I had
...

We used to go there as kids
To explore
To jump dirt hills on our bicycles
To wage mock wars
...

I saw you
By the wayside today
Wearing a sweatshirt
And daisy dukes
...

A friend of mine said today
That while in jail
All he needed was to
Be with his girlfriend
...

The food sucks
Have ya begging for
Ramen noodles on canteen day
In the cage
...
