Short Poems

Stupid Dumbness

The amount of all the stupid,
The amount of sheer dumb,
Always seems to floor me.
And as a parent I gaze with love,
At all the stupid dumbness ‘round me.




Solace Tonight

In the still of the night,
I mourn the distant light,
I’m seeking solace tonight.

With nothing to guide me,
I stumble ‘round blindly,
Still I’m unable to see




Crossing Stormy Seas

The swells of insanity,
Lift and drop the deck.
Pitching us towards…
The abyss below.




Winds of Montana

Awash in the winds of Montana,
Wind, sun, cold, and wind…
Baptized in her wild beauty.
Living right here.
With forever on my mind.




Gift of Poison

I have a gift,
That is a curse.
I love to hate it.

This is my life,
Soon my demise.
My dreams illicit.

I push on still,
Wanting to stop.
But I hate to quit.

My curse forever.
My damnation.
I love to love her.




Nothing

If you are reading this
You’ve surpassed my expectations.
And it has cost you nothing,
Nothing…

I yearn for acceptance,
Expression and passion,
Yet find instead nothing,
Nothing…

But I know you won’t,
Can’t or will not.
To you I am nothing,
Nothing,
Nothing...
