Thrones

Supple and round
weighing many a pound,

Or bony and hard
leaving me scarred.

Whether big or small
I’ve supported them all

It’s all I have known –
The butts on my throne

Stress

Nail biting, pressure building,
Heart racing, there’s no
telling.

If we’re standing still –
stopping, going.

One step forward, ten
right back.

All I know is
Love, stress.

The End of Decency

Virtue, innocence, gone for good
Corrupt & defile me like no one
would,
Innocence gone, looking into the dark
Don’t follow your mind, just follow
your heart.
The power & control feels so
good.
But when you look back, you
realize you never should.

Moist

You touch it gently –
It returns to form

You feel it, moments later
Somehow it’s still warm

You smell it near,
Licking your fingers

You hear it calling –
When its near your mouth?

You glaze it when you get
too excited.
You close your eyes.

Its so moist on your
tongue when you
bite it.

Stained

Stained Path I tread. Stained with memories… good and bad. Stained bad because mistakes and missed opportunities. Stained good with the misery of knowing never more. Neither stains appear to me to help me in my expanding despair. I shall die, stained with who I was, nothing!

Bragger

Bragging don’t you just
hate it people trying to
bring attention to themselves
people say oh yeah I saved
the rain forest well that is
some bull gosh. A lot of
the time people lie about
what they did sometimes, like
mister saved the rain forest
probably recycled 1 sheet of
paper. Braggers are horrible
people I… me, well I was the
reason that we won our base
ball game was because I hit
the game winning out-of-the-
park grand slam. furthest hit
in the league. anyways braggers
are bad people

Arrival

…Means I’m here! 

HA – Then again it could

mean something along the 

lines of close encounter,

or ET. Who really knows

what “arrival” signifies,

but we can guess it 

does not mean departure
— unless we are 

in an antiverse.
