Very rough draft - let me know what you think


Night Light


There so many stars
Some where dark and some where light
I wished upon them
As did those to my left and those to my right

Is not darkness, only the absence of light
I feared nothing during those year
I find myself near forty
Afraid of the dark

Heavens were filled with...

Two new sniper poetry drafts - book is coming out in mid dec 2004


A.M.

Why was there no divine intervention?
Or did he send me to do his job
Could he be so cruel
To punish the wicked and innocent so badly

I thought all were his children
Yet he let me alone with them
To treat them like his enemy
Never showing mercy...

very very rough draft - no edit - more dark sniper poetry


Speak Easy

As I see the words, bring you pain
Short and shallow
Will prolong the inevitable
Do not waste your breath

You have so precious few remaining
Perhaps you should have
Paid better attention
During your basic training

Do not fight
You have already lost
The sunlight fads
Simply go gently into...

more dark stuff


Doc Holiday

Like a Dentist
Whose only tools are pliers and a hammer
I remove decaying teeth
And Health ones alike

I do not give fillings
Nor Caps
I may give you a root canal
But only for sport

Sometime I must extract a health tooth
If next to one with a problem
Lest it get infected or cause others to
You...

another very rough draft

Misogynistic Gentleman


Keeper of faith
Righter of wrong
Like a Misogynistic Gentleman
All that I am - is an oxy Moran

I fought for me life
Now struggle to survive
The sun is my best friend
Yet I dislike its company

Night is my enemy
But darkness I crave
I embrace that which offends
Keeping good at a safe distance

Sleep...

very dark - first draft

nothing like sniper poetry


Zombie

I am the walking dead
Simply existing
I fought for my life
Now I live to die another day

Getting out of bed is an effort
Thought gladly I do
Sleep brings me no rest
Only abuse to my body and mind

Each day is a struggle
Every step has pain
No matter the joy...

Dizzy

A lone star shining
On a three quarter moon
Faintly behind it - soft stars - dizzying...

Very very rough draft


Glass


I am merely sand
Heated to an extreme
Transferring my rawness
In the devils hearth

The work of a great craftsman
Twisted obscurely for many reasons
Function takes its place above form
My sweat is weakness leaving my body

I take many shapes
Fragile like glass vase
My usefulness is in emptiness
To hold water - the elixir of life...

Okay - more of the soft stuff, have some very dark stuff I am working on, beacuase, who does not like sniper poetry


After Glow


As the sunlight kisses
Your glistening skin
While the whimsical
Wind dries the air

I watch you smile
As you struggle to awake
Your natural beauty
Keeps me awake

I moved a couch
Into the bedroom
To watch you sleep...
