Some poems I wrote over the last couple of weeks. comments welcomed.

waiting

sitting here
trying to remember what i forgot
trying to find the memory that eludes me
trying to find that darkness in the light
where the memory hides
like an un-knotted noose
like that fish not yet on the hook
like that bullet in the clip
its in there
and ill find you
and ill find my salvation
and maybe every stitch will break
and maybe your heart will flutter
and maybe ill be there too
waiting.

we were alive

remember that day at the cemetery?
you'd just got out of your commitment
you were wearing your skin just how i like it
we found that spot which was out of the way
where no one could see
behind someones grave
we made love there
we were alive
and the world was dead.

untitled

there was this time
when everything seemed good
when we were who we thought we were
when the moon was full
and the sun warmed us
and everything was good
and everything was holy
and the earth was flat
and there was nothing else
and the heavens were just out of our reach
and the gods were whispering in our ears
and the end seemed so far away

forever battle

he bears the weapon with utter contempt
assaulting his allies and sleeping with the enemy
twenty four months passing in streaks of red and purple
twenty four hours down and forever to go
how can there be infinity if everything is finite?
the weapon is his best defense against reason
it will push into fate's belly and twist
it will spill the guts of sanity and bathe there
at times it will expel projectiles at a high velocity
slamming into whatever is in its way
a burning desire to destroy whatever he could be
a burning desire to ambush his dreams
it knows there is no stopping the unstoppable
with this knowledge it barricades his life
and there will never cease to be a victim
and there will never be a reason why not
