A short poem about loving the blues with the one you love!

Blue, turquoise and aqua greenOceans show a different viewStaying calm as we’re trueWhite waves set the sceneNow, we’re born anewA cleansingOf sorts Reborn, resurrected reverberating peaceThe blues affirm our trust in duskAnd in each other we keep the trustAs the wind hustles through the treesNow, we affirm our placeA declarationOf sorts In blues, our conscientious smileOur aura applauds the…

Put in the garbage Put in your despair in a garbage can.What if Putin is the garbage? Democracy, Shemocracy – he doesn’t careHe would just walk on it, shit on it, spit on itHis way is the highway The devil, the world calls himBut do you see a wrinkle on his forehead?Nothing in the world appals himHe is nothing more than a vocal dickhead So, “Russian warship, go fuck yourself”Because really,…

Moving slowly as we reach to the end of midnight readings archive, to reading number 8. This reading was a bit different as I read aphorisms instead of poetry. I was introduced to Friedrich Nietzsche by the poetry of Jim Morrison, and it caught on to me as I read more of his works. In this reading, I read a few of his aphorisms from his book: Beyond Good and Evil, followed by a couple of my poems…

Under the vengeful sky, I pick the bricks for this sick demise I’m glad I survived, but couldn’t duck the luck that struck my eye

Thud! Pop! Bang!

This is not a hailstorm! This is a cry to die at the end of times I’ve got to brainstorm!  Not simply stand here unsatisfied
