Angel of Madness
I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity."--Edgar Allan Poe
nightly the news plays
midwife to the dying
deathbed doulas
feigning compassion
thank God psychopharmacology
dabbles in miracles
that Trazodone turns tumbling
boulders into sleeping stones
my most-days mind is a loupe
magnifying cracks into crises
bringing far off fires close up
"catastrophizing"
but somedays my mind is far away ...

Platinum Tears: Joy and Pain Quatrain
Platinum waterfalls ran down my face
Blue emotions ran deep in my brain
Platinum tears turned into black ink on a page
Writing healed my platinum soul: graduate on a platinum stage.

Because I am a poet
While you segment that thin unleavened cake of oat-meal brother;
Because I am a poet...
I will brew a triolet with mnemonic rhymes
And pour it heavily down the crack before the beginning ends.
While you rest motionlessly...
Like a trampled weed in the middle of the jungle,
Because I am a poet...
I will sing lullabies to my lilting brain
I have grained poems for the next mid-lent sunday,
As you put in your oar for well rich,
Hopefully you'll find your which
Because I am a poet...
I have been to a future where poets are...

My best friends
So much on my mind but no words on my tongue
Hard to scribble onto this page because my hands have gone numb
Like my body and brain, what more can I say?
Like everyone else, conformist in my own way
A beautiful face is not worth my time
Lest he deciphers the code behinds these rhymes
Graphite seems to breathe feeling, whispers you cant hear
White paper drinks up the salty, wet tears
The life that I made lies just under this page
And with the insight one could read on for days
Pencil meets parchment and...

Just for fun
Being a poet isn't easy to do
You have to know about sonnets
Maybe even the color blue
I remember the days when it was all a rhyme like
Roses are red violets are blue
Rhyming is sweet and so are you
Those days are gone
Poems are now like songs
There beautiful and deep
You must comprehend
Or you'll get lost in the poem
Trying to understand
Lol just bored
