Summer Journal


You took off your heels to play in the water
And I filled them with sand when you weren’t looking
You taught me fun in a relationship like that
How to laugh at each other and kiss moments later
Letting myself go is a turn on
You saw past my ego anyways..
Far past the fist fights
Nails dragging along my muscles
In the latest of nights

Muse 4

Love only turns to hate because the heart is beating fast.
I ran into an old lover I cursed for years a few weeks back.
At first I just stared through her as I had done previously.
But something stopped me in my tracks.
I turned around and caught back up
Let her daughter squeeze my finger while we made idle chat
Idle, yet so important
Because as I walked away I felt something strange and new
Resentment off my shoulders
A regular old trip to the supermarket
Who knew?

A Real Heart Beater


Some may know the patch of sidewalk between the liquor store and drug mart
Is painted red
And I’m wondering why
Tonight it’s so red oh so blood red
Like her lips superimposed against a white dress
 and my life..
So in danger as these strange faces pass me
Flagging down a cab who doubt’s I’ll pay
He smells the booze and smoke
Narrows his eyes in the mirror
I fling a twenty and think I’m twenty..
Something
Getting up there..
Can I just exist without existentialism?
Shivering under the blanket of spirituality
Two things I contest may have you confused
As a poet shouldn’t God and Love be a given?
Yet doubt seems to be realist emotion I ever had
A real heart beater
