Desperation

Desperation

Desperation-

It stems from prolonged anticipation

from a fantasy unfulfilled

it fools under countless circumstances

fools into fruitless romances

it removes inhibitions

and obstructs love’s visions

torturing its victims

with its false sense of urgency.

Man of Dreams

Man of Dreams

Man of dreams,

drifting through space

on a cloud it seems,

even though onlookers

gaze in shock,

still you dream.

Fill your life with- the wonder

of a mystery,

a hunger

for the history,

and the promise

of the future.

Man of dreams ,

benefiting from thirst

deeper that a stream

thoughts that run

wilder than a horse,

taller than a tree

still, skeptics hypothesize

madness (to some degree),

still you dream.

Fill your heart with compassion

for the walking dead

among us

determined to

rebirth passion

and lust

and bury

the lackluster.

Man of dreams,

man of silliness and

wastefulness and

playfulness and schemes.

Man who enhances

the world for the next man,

drifting through space

on a cloud.

Deceptive Ones

Deceptive Ones

Looking all sweet,

looking all luscious.

Being all evil,

having sharp clutches.

That’s how they roll.

They gon set you up.

Step, Father, Step

Step, Father, Step

I finally spoke with my daughter

In order to understand why she acts that way

Myself, being the amazing father that

I am

I simply refuse to put up with the attitude

Because I do so much for her, you know

She should be thankful

I had my disciplinary speech together

And the appropriate punishment set

After this day she would never behave

That way again

When I walked in the room a chill went through me

How could it be this cold? I turned down the air

I sat facing that troublesome child of mine

And allowed her the opportunity to explain herself

Instead she spoke of once suffering of my

Not being there

And told me if she ever saw me again or not

She simply did not care

She told me she was 20 years old

And got pregnant when she moved into the dorm

And that it had been 10 months since she had heard my voice

And 2 years since her eyes laid upon my form

As tears ran down my face I asked her did she understand that I had done

More than other men did

But she got upset and demanded to know where

I was when she was a kid

What the hell is this, a dream?

Myself? The amazing father that I am

My daughter told me that she hated me

And that I wasn’t shit

She wanted nothing to do with me

Then left me there to sit.

I am an amazing father!!!
