I’ve often thought
the answers to life
hide somewhere behind
those bright eyes.
The deeper I look
the closer I get
to uncovering the truth
that is lost within the lies.
It’s not only
that your soul
warms my heart
and makes my spirit soar,
but in the love
you have for me
you allow me to
love you all the more.
All it takes
is one time
to lose your mind
to break your heart
to stand your ground
to fall in love.
It takes
all those times
to live your life.
| Surprise! | I am having an affair! |
| Get Well Soon | Paper cuts are the worst. |
| I always knew you were meant for the big screen. | I hear the porn industry is great. |
| Love means going to the end of the earth for someone. | I am glad we figured out that the world is round. |
| You made it! | I didn’t think your bladder would make it to the next rest stop. |
The snow doth fall
upon the frozen leaves;
the first sign of winter
this marks, one may believe.
Wise as ever, the cat knows
winter grows ever near
but, snow covered critters
are delicious still, never fear.
The last to fall
and the first to stand
are often remembered
as being far too grand.
I gave you a ring,
but you must have been out.
No busy signal, no voicemail
no way to know what you’re about.
I waited for a call back
hoping not to play tag,
but still I heard not a thing,
your response time sure does lag.
I gave you a ring, you see
and still haven’t heard from you
what a mistake that was,
thank goodness, we never got to “I do.”
Here is a list of careers I wished to pursue throughout my school days.

4th grade: Professional Killer
5th grade: Shortstop for the Atlanta Braves
6th grade: Professional Killer
7th grade: Writer
8th grade: Boxer
9th grade: Police Officer
10th grade: Musician
11th grade: Secret Government Agent
12th grade: Writer again, because in writing, I could be all of these things.
Life stands still
for nothing
and comes not
to you.
Yet you stand still
when nothing
but death comes
for you.
Go fetch your balls when you are done licking your butt.
Do you like it when I pet you there?
I better not catch you drinking out of the toilet!
How many times have I told you to stop pooping on the floor?
Who’s ready to get neutered!?
Get that mouse out of your mouth! You don’t know where it’s been!
Wanna’ go for a walk? Let me get your leash.
Today, the vultures are
my friends.
They swiftly swoop in
to rid the world
of my mess.
Change is not
an option.
Foolishly forward I
fumble through
life.
