Before getting to a new poem I wanted to post today I also wished to announce that I would be releasing two poetry collections this year. One I had already announced for October and another will be coming out in June. While working on the poems that will be part of the Oct. collection I found myself with enough material for two collections and also a number of others to post here on the Bloodwaste Books site. More news on covers and collection titles will be release in the weeks to come.
Tickets And Subs
The heat burns,
The sun falls,
I don't believe it's either that saves me when I have to crawl,
It's the whispers who stand within my mind that keeps me sane,
Night rounds with beach time,
Trying to keep a piece of mind,
Doing my time on this Earth,
I'm trying to keep peace with my own birth,
When do the times get easier to follow,
Oh, father,
Oh, mother,
Goddess and my lover,
I try to keep the days at bay but so many things still left to say,
I have to sometimes wonder,
I have to sometimes fight,
Sometimes wrap myself up into my own self hate late at night,
I am in this for the long hall,
Nothing means more to this man,
I love you for the woman you are,
But I have to wonder,
Have to wonder if you can love me for the fucked up man I am?
The argument is living within the pain of my eyes,
Moving upside of me living outside,
Tickets and subway dancing makes me feel alive,
But do you see how lightening lashes out from within my mind?
Do you understand the weaknesses I have?
Do you know the things I've left behind?
