NO-KING DAY The crown was misplaced To rule he could not Born grew soon a rat His throne once of gold Nare king-for-a-day Was left with the sounds Of a throne that can flush #poems #poesie #politics

Concrete cacophony Human mystery Sights of neon Begging you enter Strangers passing Saying hello Others cursing In bellows I'm more than crazy My thoughts hazy Strange feeling Being content Amongst catastrophe Yet if I am calm here I can be anywhere #BornBattleReady

Outside skin Blustery day Underneath Inner warmth Unfamiliar Unreal Fantasy feel Maybe .. Finally content Heaven has sent Over all calm Keeping from harm Just knowing I am love And Am loved #BornBattleReady

The wall to the floor No content anymore Memories flood in Recreating the room It was our beautiful home But nothing does last We had to move on Now all looks so bare Sounds ring out from my mind Of good times once had in cheer Now all that is left Is a cobweb on the wall #BornBattleReady #content

#BornBattleReady I never believed tales of turnin' into 1 solid cramp of ache I didn't rock star out at 27 so I went on & gave hell to 28 as well as 29 30 sed whoa up motherfucker u tryin' to fuckin' kill me we ain't got but so much time & can't devote none of it to fate or the destiny won't sell

#BornBattleReady the physical pain & aches & scratches & breaks & delirium shakes pale in comparison to the heartaches gimme some pain, goddamnit, until it hurts so bad I can't think gimme sum heroin, I'll slam it & my eyes'll go dead, like they're glad or, I could just go to the skating rink

#BornBattleReady #vss365 got a lot of problems on my plate toleratin' pain ain't 1 got no auxiliary to handle surplus #ache but at least I ain't fuckin' fake made of plastic playing a character until I become a caricature because I don't possess character fuck you, faux billy #chic hipster swine

Stars bright Stars light Save me from My drunkened flight My soul, it aches So life I forsaked My mind in tatters Happily never after My heart beats for more My dreams want to soar Unmistakable grit In this land of misfits #BornBattleReady

Brave, as moon shadows Who stay awake I try to be Long after the sun rises With each #ache But like a bug under a stone I disappear & hide it all All the pain & hurt I can’t trip & fall Waiting for a sun ray To pull me up One day i’ll be own sun ray #BornBattleReady

From Within Not everything I write is pleasing To every sensibility, But every line placed upon the page Embodies thoughts most valuable to me; Not every #ache or pleasure bleeds Far as every eye may see, But every pen from deep within Emerges artfully. #poetry #BornBattleReady

The poor knight reflects On a poor night… His spirit etched On the soft light A Moon projects… Blessed beams connect An ache he begets From a #chivalrous dream Meshed to the seams Of a frivolous world He vows to protect… #BornBattleReady #vss365 #poetry #BlackSkyRelay

The Nebula #BornBattleReady #Nebula #poetry #writing

#BornBattleReady 40 days & nights with a road whore shotgun & a Feist named Doll Baby all lovin' no fights surrounded by nebula sun show'll iz is better'n maybe road whore could be me mayhaps you I won't discriminate mill scale just won't do at a run of the mill rate youtu.be/MFrzkfUv23E?...

#BornBattleReady she comes in sidewize with her wings hid like cherubim & seraphim on a day trip a rainbowed ray of light love at the lowest bid an hourglass of broken crystal sand contorted to skip nebulous aura on the edge with a blowed off lid she keeps my cup full so I leave a good tip

2/2 ...they glow like fragments of nebulae for me to find them. Untold stories press against my bruised heart attempting one more time to break it open When my love blooms all the tiny sparks rejoin to one nova illuminating the nightly sky and I can feel the warmth again

Stardust Existence between stars Swirling into nebular minutiae Memories and scars— past, present, future exposed By galactic prose juxtaposed Against essence of a cosmos Swirled into revolutionary nebulae Existing between lyrical bars. #BornBattleReady #Nebula #poetry #poetrylovers #skywriting

Like an echo of light In my darkest days You were my nebula Showing me the way You stole my attention Taking my heart with you Along with all the tension Where have you gone A figment of a dream Telling me to stand up You were more than you seemed A light to wake me up #BornBattleReady

#BornBattleReady laws came 3 times that night separated us to question as if we were in a fight but it was more a tempestion of clouded sight cops mused next time 1 o y'all is goin' to jail I'm bleedin' & bruised & I'm sure they could tell I'm the 1 being abused & she's havin' a psychosis spell

#BornBattleReady ol' bruise don't know purple's my favorite shade & I ain't worried with pain it's outta stones to throw & from dirt, I was made now it's time for daily refrain you'll have to beat me every time you see me I won't make it easy lack of fear keeps me sane youtu.be/C9TqTQ2g-AQ?...

#BornBattleReady Monday I let the chainsaw whine see what it'd say twas buzzin' along just fine but toward the end of the day I'd become a tad complacent & laid 1 down right quick not payin' no mind where it went then I felt it kick wish my leg could've bent now it's bruised cuz it took a lick

#BornBattleReady #bruise #Poem #Poetry #PoetryCommunity #WritingCommunity #Sonnet The Rugged Individual

My thoughts throb deep purple Encircled by a bruise Infused with aches eternal… Tender to the touch… Brushed with woes external Against my internal tenderness As to feel what wrenches In the bruise of another… As to bear what flairs And to share… In those painful colors #BornBattleReady

Well it’s Saturday & I’m bruising Little bit more But I coloured them Pink & gold Got them tattooed With flowers Telling a different story While bruises inside Keep on being coloured All shades of pain But that’s ok Coz the sky’s still a freedom blue #bornbattleready

"Harm" I cried at the skies Inside of my eyes Tears came down No sound around Bruises nowhere Hidden inside me Never did I proclaim To be a soldier of war I woke up to silence It gave me a chill Everything uncomfortable Like I'd been given the wrong pill #BormBattleReady #bruise #qrt

'Twas a day Living in infamy Sky like a bruise How didn't you see Sky wanting to cry So did I For humanity Though I had no idea why Melancholy blanketed the land Yet no one raised a hand To help it come alive again It's said the wages of sin... Is death #BornBattleReady

#BornBattleReady they gradin' on a curve up ahead the road grader over negotiates a swerve now the operator's dead I struggle on up the hill down shift into retrograde pop a jagged pill then slick it back like flat top's butch wax pomade drive straight thru the walls, no skill no escalade

Retrograde When things get brighter I sometimes go retrograde and fall into the gap between now and then The way you hold space for me when I do inspires me to hold this space for me, too --- #BornBattleReady - retrograde #BlueSkyArtShow - bright #WritingCommunity #poetry

#BornBattleReady #vss365 she often thought I was her son that died in 1951 on the dementia side of Alzheimer's, locked in #retrograde silly as a child eyes, dangerous & wild is it gasoline or lemonade now she's riled as by her own memory her mind's defiled seeking #transport to the grave

Brain swings #retrograde Beneath the moons shadow Something awakens Can’t swallow one’s own gulp What to do with each faltering step It’s a memory from yesterday Might be strong but it’s hiding Truth be told today’s far from brave #BornBattleReady
