I see fools

I bear witness to a breaking, a parting of
Friends.

I bear witness to the uselessness of
Witnesses to no end.

I bear no grudge to either failures
I see no crying taking place
On either side of the arguments
I see fools -- not friends

Black Rose

The Black Rose beckons me
Like the Fiddler in the stream of old
& the maple leaf flying in a distant breeze.
Symbols of longevity, prosperity &
Subtle truths

I feel the calling of the wind
Yet the love of the rose remains &
With the fading Fiddler I cannot trust
I waver about the paths before me

Across the fields of dreams
Nymphs of youthful juices roam
In pursuit of hearts of eager young men
Lost to unspoken dreams

I was once lost; a man without purpose
Once lost in the illusions of truth
Truths now obliterated
Truncated
Stewed and steamed &
Soon to be purged & cleansed from this
Feeble corpse of manliness

The Black Rose beckons me
The Fiddler knows my name
The Maple leaf … a wrapper at best

For my final rest

Missing Out

I’m sorry for not taking the time & effort
To read your bleeding hearts’ outpourings
,,,
I am at present (& god for knows how long)
Unable to comprehend anything & …
Anything but the rising of the sun and the
Setting of the moon above
,,,
I am lost
Not part of anything that matters
Unengaged as far as engagement goes &
Unconcerned about all matters thereof
,,,
‘I’ve got to give it up’, Phil sang and
I found the evocation apt as it left to us
Interpret his intentions:
'Drugs’ most would say as he did his fair
Share of the bane of contemporary life
But I can see the other issues; the otherlife
And that broken string once strummed so
Hard
,,,
I’m sorry
I’m sorry to you as reader
I’m sorry for you the mother
Having to put up with a son so
Eager to stay away, to stay afloat
On his own; walking tall without having
Been born with a silver spoon
,,,
Comma Comma Comma
,,,
I’m sorry mother
I’m sorry that you will never read this &
Never know how it was to grow up
To be told to stay away from strangers;
Never to be told the truth of love
And the consequences of --

Missing out

I always feel like my prose stuff doesn’t get the limelight on here like my poetry does, so in a rather shameful act of self-promotion, I am linking several of my reblogged short pieces in this one post, hoping to get a few more reads…that is “reads” not just “likes”…I just hope it works, ‘cause every time I promote my own stuff I feel so dirty afterwards, lol

Replacing Doom

In search of olden days
Of a younger I of which
I dreamt

I went off in pursuit
To replace the doom
I carried around inside me

The corridors of power
With a blazing gun in my hand
Killing Nazis whenever found

In search of olden days
Of a younger I of which
I dreamt

The forrests of power now looming
The call of duty of modern warfare
Beckoning; so far no Nazis in sight
Only death reoccurring -- fast

Special Regret (meow)

I shave my balls and wait for the
Penny to drop. The bouncing fires of
Hades matter, like time and the
Beating of hearts.

I wear your earrings as a token,
Stolen; like the skin I broke as I
Pushed right through; I’m sorry.

I walk in your shoes, high-heeled &
Covered with lipstick; bleeding.

I am a vibrating pussy now; kneeling

I am so dripping wet; but for you I am just a

Wooly Dreams

Days without sleep
I sit down without
Thinking

Forehead hitting edge of
Table & I bleed
Profucely

I remember enjoying silence
Masturbation among the
Sheep

Days without sleeping
Without orgasm or
Progress

Days speaking of the Otherworld
To this world and the
Weary

Mindless sheep with
Wooly dreams which I cut
Without bleeding

As a child I liked chocolate milk

As a child I liked chocolate milk, hot and
White bread; dipping

I now mix the powdered chocolate
With vodka: to recreate the feeling

I fail with my endeavour
(I fail at most things…)
I blame bad parenting
Or the lack of --

French bread

When Funny goes to die

When funny goes to die // slowly through illness // terminally ill goes stumbling and dies // right there before us - funny has died // there are only tears left here // not of the happy type // not the type they deserve // a funny man // a funny woman // funny has died // rest in peace
