At Death’s Bed…

I wonder how long it will be until the darkness swallows me whole. I can feel it consuming me on the inside. Slowly trickling into every corner of my brain.

There’s no pain, none to speak of anyway.

There’s no remorse, none that matters anyway.

There’s no song, none to hear anyway.

Carnal Copy…

I thought, “I should have seen this coming.” as I stared myself in the face, my hands wrapped around my own neck. I could hear my voice rasping through my throat as I tried desperately to suck down a gulp of breath. I watched as blood covered my face, oozing from several open gashes in my cheek and brow. I could feel my own hands scrabbling at me, begging and struggling to get me to release my grip. Finally, the struggle was over, the hands fell limp, the breathing stopped, and the panic in my eyes went dull. Still, I squeezed my neck, not wanting to let go for fear of a ruse.

The Secret Present

Secret Santa, Secret Santa, bring me my gift.

Make it so heavy that it’s hard to lift,

Wrap it in paper, stick it with a bow,

Under the tree is where it should go.

On Christmas day, I’ll grab it up quick,

And tear open the package with just a flick,

Revealing the gift that’s hidden inside,

“Just what I wanted!” knowing I lied.

And just remember this part, don’t forget,

We all agreed on a boundary, preset,

You can’t spend more than the ten-dollar limit,

Ok, fine, spend twenty, just never admit.

Resolutions

Somewhere in this stack of life,

I made a list and checked it twice.

It was a list of things to get done,

A so called ‘New Year Resolution’.

I sat and added thing after thing,

Stuff to change, the new to bring.

The list was long and full of hope,

A lot more awesome, a little less dope.

January 2nd

I’m a man of resolutions, the few I make each year,

Promises I proclaim,

Intentions very clear.

I’ll start to enjoy my life, I’ll even get more sleep,

I’ll work on losing weight,

These promises I’ll keep.

These New Year’s professions, hopes said to the wind,

Then comes January second,

And the resolutions end.

Name Calling

Nerd, geek, dork and dweeb,

Names used to call me,

But not like most,

I tend to boast,

At least it’s me they see.
