 I miss you baby

Dearly.

It's hard for me to find words

So I think I'll just sit here

and play, guitar.


My lovely,

Your diamond eyes shone like stars.

In the pitch black darkness of my 

heart.


I cry out all the time

And sometimes I wonder if

it would have been better

had we never met.


Are the memories worth it?

Were those timeless nights,

locked in matrimony

worth the melancholy I am.

Now so, intimately comfortable.


Wouldn't it have been better

if I'd stayed married to the bottle?

To the lovely women on 

Corronado.


Married to the good times

to the headaches and the heartache

married to the bottle and the pain.

Too afraid to change, to afraid of

letting go of the familiar hate?


It's far too easy just to drink it

away and wish I was dead.


Than it was just to make you happy.


I should have just let you love it all away

but that's my mistake.

It wont be the last.

Memoir from inside the bathroom at a party.

-
 Alright, this is a memoir from inside the bathroom. I arrived sometime between seven pm and 2am. I was very excited to have recieved an invitation to the most exclusive party ever thrown on the planet. The Puerto Rican hooker I brought along was very chatty after vacuuming a pile of crank in the back of the limousine. I did enjoy her company, and the exotic flavor of her voice for a time. Although that fondness quickly dissipated after we had arrived.  We cranked one out inside the hall closet, and I told her she had to stay in there for 30 minutes after I left, or I would refund the venmo payment. And call in a bomb threat to her hotel room. For some reason, the look of alarm on her face, and the satisfaction of smearing my spank on someone's four thousand dollar Armani suit. Made her exhorbant price well worth it. I moved quickly, living the scene of my obscenity, and into a far greater travesty.  I left the hallway and ran into a drunk woman a few feet from the...

It's nothin' you wouldn't do.

  The snap of fallen and dried foliage alerts the white tail to my presence before I could get a shot off. “Ah fuck” I mutter. The faintness of it. Exasperated by the cloud of condensation it let out into the chilly, early morning Oklahoma woods. Opting to give up, I threw the Sako 7mm Winchester Magnum over my shoulder and started in on the 4 mile trek back to my truck.               I live about 17 miles outside of town to the northeast. The woods I was hunting were an hour an a half to the southwest. I made it most of the way home, but a bridge was out on my regular route back. I took a detour that put me a little bit behind schedule.               I hadn’t been on this side of town in quite a while. So I wasn’t too surprised to see a new business had opened. There was an old light up sign. Not unlike one you’d see at a hole in the wall bar or...

The sonnet of enticement.

A faint breath of a familiar haunting Song caressed my ears, I tried to follow it, and catch the goblin. Lying in wait. right beside the trap he laid. Strumming a lute, his companions, whispering a flute. They danced a jig. An enticing one, I fancy. Not far away, a rancid broth. Frothing and bubbling. Their musical spell, tickling and shoving me ever so closely. Gleefully I wish to indulge. To gorge my gullet. Full to the brim of their fanciful bowl of brew, a slew a mix of something so good and new. But alas, I know the goods they peddle the game I will not meddle upon. Could never be something so good and new. Something old and foul, rancid, a serpent lying placid. Until his time to strike his acid poison. poised in wait.  Wallowing lazily. The air grows dim, my eyes hazy. My understanding, thin, my mind spacy. Soon I will not fend. Against them. I will give 3 pence, all my  expense. To hear their song it won't be long...
