dukes

August 20th, 2013 § Poem #219 § 0 comments § permalink

 

There is this woman near me
in the bagel shop
who’s shorts are so much so
that I can actually see her vagina

She is classy, stunning
typically perfect and sculpted world-class
with a typical man
who reveres her looks
wthout knowing a thing of her intelligence…
the manicured obsessing over the manicured

i wonder

August 19th, 2013 § Poem #218 § 0 comments § permalink

 

Do I breathe loudly?

Sitting day dreaming
often catching the looks from passerbies and fellow passengers
and knowing that I am not that important, special or celebrated
I wonder often if it is just because I breathe too loudly…

chicken or the egg?

August 18th, 2013 § Poem #217 § 0 comments § permalink

 

Perspective or Dreams, Dreams then Perspective?

Which feeds which?

Do I need a perspective on life
to write a poem, an idea to live a dream?
Or should I dream to help gain perspective?

The idea or the angle first?

a boy is dead

August 17th, 2013 § Poem #216 § 1 comment § permalink

 

…the possibility of my honesty
but you say it is not about race
when boys die
and mothers are put away
protecting those laws

i wonder about honesty
and how much worth it really has
because it is not possible to educate
everyone out from ignorance
but those stuck to that floor
are now legislating from their prisons
and we the rest are too high
to fight such teenage foolishness

a boy is dead

l.a. story 4 (the first date)

August 16th, 2013 § Poem #215 § 2 comments § permalink

 

You’re a Virgo?
That’s HOT!!!
The guy I am dating right now…
he is perfect,
except for the fact that he’s an Aries.
That is really all there is that is wrong with him.
But, you seem like a cool guy
so I don’t mind being on a date with you.
Virgos are yummy.
Don’t be dismayed by my boyfriend, though…
I am TOTALLY single.
In fact, after this date, I am going to a party
and my ex-boyfriend
(before this guy)
will be there
so, I would invite you but you can’t come
because I will be with him.
But please please don’t get the wrong impression.
Like I said,
he’s my boyfriend, not my boyfriend
because life is supposed to be happy
and I am getting old
and I want total happiness now.
I don’t care how much reality I need to blackout and ignore
I don’t care about what’s happening outside my world
because I am strong now
and I am not letting anything prevent me
from the happiness I deserve…
and that’s what life is all about
total happiness all the time.
So, that’s why I am single
and will be
regardless of how committed I am to a guy
regardless of how committed he is to me
because until he puts a ring on my finger
I am free to do whatever I want;
If I am worth it to him, to you,
then you’ll have to cage me up
lock me down
otherwise
why would I bother?
And I know what you’re thinking
and the answer is No.
If a man wants to be with me
he better not be with anyone else
that’s just an unacceptable break in trust.
I am worth it and he needs to prove
he is worth ME being committed to HIM
not the other way around.
Take my friend here,
who I will set your friend up with.
I know she blew him off twice
but she is a wanted woman
by all men
and they and your friend need to
fight for and fight over her.
And, I’m sorry,
you just don’t get it;
to say that she should give the same respect to men
as she deserves as a woman
is plain disrespectful in itself.
Clearly, you have NO idea how it is between men and women.
Clearly!!!.
Like, it’s called chivalry.
A woman owes a man NOTHING
until he proves he is willing to give her everything.
Whether you agree or not
that’s just how it is with men and woman.
But, I’m not like that.
I’m more like a man in my thinking
so, I’ll totally hang out with you again.
You deserve someone good like me…

what i miss

August 15th, 2013 § Poem #214 § 0 comments § permalink

 

Normal feelings are what I miss the most,
getting emotions riled for the mundane
the desire for toys and trinkets;
A free simplicity
striving for knowledge
unaware of any real truths of life;
Superficially rewarded for the games played;
Measuring accomplishments tangibly;
Embracing the clear roads ahead
with no thought of the destruction left behind;

sacrifices for humility

August 14th, 2013 § Poem #213 § 2 comments § permalink

 

Take this woman, for instance:

Hip, beautiful, simple, passionate
She wants things deep in her heart
but is also logical enough in her European heritage
to know that a life with comfort is an easier one
than a life with love;
after-all
money is either there or it is not
but this woman will always be able to find enough love
