I Have


I've seen world,
as my playground. 

I have.

I've stood outside,
in the cool noon-time breezes,
that rocked my heart,
to the sway,
of the 2/4 waltz of the sea. 

I have.

I've been more that here,
more then just working,
from the will to survive.

I have.

Asshole - Ode to an X

You are,
so far gone,
even the absence 
of love for you in my heart
 has vanished.

Having known love,
both greater and more pure than yours.
Having known heartbreak, 
both more profound and more meaningful than you ever were.
Having known lives,
 more full and rich,
than had ever existed between us.

For you there is nothing but a small hole,
that I sometimes put things in 
from
'that time'.

Things I no longer need or want,
like memories of your yellowed teeth 
blood stained eyes 
and
 rotten hollow mind.

So the flies might keep you company.
You,
and your
infinite misery.

Amid the tranquil days and nights without you,
so awash in all that never was,
as if it never existed.
Not a thought,
not a word,
not a whisper 
has been spoken of your name.

Until.
 Still,
the truth will hurt,
even in a million years.

Asshole.

The Wink


I'm looking for the wink.
The all knowing understanding
shared between upper and lower lids,
that says to me,

Hey.

Hey you.
Yeah, I see you.
I get it.
Isn't this illusion
a wonderful cluster-fuck?


Because living a lie is one thing,
and one I am prepared to do.

But living it alone,
I am not.
