gray skies
are better than having no windows
it suits my appetite
to compose with black
and bludgeon with blue
there are already enough rainbows
in the crayons box

one less suitor
for the bridal of the white horse
keeps the traffic moving
and allows me to focus
on taming the black stallion
it runs me in circles
through the revolving door
broken glass
fractured toes
all in a nights work
the phone will not ring
because Ive silenced the belle
I bandage my miscommunications
the splinters
all the things I love

what good can I do
other than throw myself
at the feet of the guillotine
drown myself
in a troth with an inscription on the side
that says “love”
fast, so that you cannot
starve me
with your unintentional smile

unfortunately
there is little that I can control
of the
eulogies I have drafted
first with my pen
and then with my life
time will not refrain
from correcting me
on my mistakes
should they actually occur
as poorly as I have conceived

no one needs to know
that
but me

I don't always "get it"--but I always enjoy
the McStyle.

This one had my head rolling over. (It plays "dead" too, apparently.)

and I guess nobody needed to know that but me, huh?

Enjoyed, Drex.

I love that sentance if that's what u call it.  It's a real optimistic veiw on things. kinda like is the glass half full or half empty.  Really awesome

I asked God how much he loved me...
He said this much...
And streched out his arms and Died.
