I didn’t remember what I told you last I just knew it wasn’t pretty But then you died and somehow I Remember everything completely And the words I should have said I remember them exactly Never thought such simple words When unspoken could hurt so deeply And at times the pain’s forgotten Then I encounter some silly funny thing That reminds me of the jokes you’ve made And I remember everything

Shady Bosses
Whispers in offices With shady bosses Words of such untruth Withheld curses And awkward pauses And trying not to be uncouth I'd leave in a second But I can't just abandon This without a fight Do you have an agenda? Is it a vendetta? You can't pretend this is right Don't pretend you're a caretaker When you're such a mess-maker Your communication is unclear Respect is important He is my commandant He knows my duty here I'll do what you want It's not what he wants And its not what's needed here But I'll do what you want It's also what I want I've already packed my gear

best to move along
’cause they can only offer
smiles that aren’t kind

Christmas Day
(click here for the full text of the poem)
Poisoned Lips
Poisoned lips
In fragrant breath
Glassy eyes
And frozen smiles
And marks
Of sudden death
Of feelings
And of blunt
Expressiveness
The soul
Is passionless
The heart’s
A bloody mess
The angry mind
Is crying out
Into the nothingness
Of selfish deeds
And selfish creeds
On poisoned lips
Craving trips
Of hushed exile
For kisses on
The demon’s smile
*This poem can also be found in my poetry book What Have You Done to the Angel which was written under Sathepine Marco.
Reminisce
A hand held
A shy gaze
A kiss
A love lost
A memory
You miss
Midnight
You lie awake
And reminisce
For all
You have left
Is a wish
To return to
That long-forgotten
Bliss
Cure
I know
What this is
What you are
And you say
There’s a cure
It won’t scar
But this cure
To the venom
Is a curse
Makes
Things
Worse
So I’ll try
Just a sip
Just a drip
And we’ll see
If it’s worth
The trip
Friend
Take a deep breath
And be brave
Sometimes it’s okay
To misbehave
I’m right here
Never far
Not afraid
Of who you are
Because i’ve glimpsed
Behind your slight
Veneer of bitterness
And I saw light
Faded Trust
The poisoned apple pie
I’ve tried too many times
The hero of a lie
Who’s done too many crimes
The angel of pretense
Up high on golden wings
Ignoring consequence
The saint of hidden sins
And I feel nothing but
Faith in you destroyed
So speak to me not
This contract’s null and void
