my next suicide

towards the dusty left
end of a basement city
the rain washes nothing
leaving sin in streaks on the street

i can hear it
the cracked dry giggle
of a grave i cannot avoid
save for nightly smokescreens
it turns on a white ribbon smile
oh yes
oh yes
it will wait
one more day
maybe two
knowing i understand very little
except for loose stitches
and slowing rotting anger
though i try


merciful merciless G*D
i don't ask for the end of war
for the sick to be healed
or sunny saturdays in april
just a nod and a handshake
so i can understand something
about something


i throw my hands wide like pigeons
to let the rain drown me
in cold calculated rythym
when finally it fades
and what remains
is what i have been gifted


nothing
nothing
nothing...

Alexandre,

Good God, man, you know how to write the demons in our pitiful soul and put them the page, for readers to recognize their own. Excellent, excellent poetry...very uncomfortable to read, but necessary. Please don't give up--I believe in you, if no one else does.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.

Even Without Nothing You Have Nothing To Live For,i.e. Your Just Rewards Are Not Of This Physical World...

See: You Wrote Something Above To Have To Hold On To YOURSELF...

Wow. A cry from the depths. This is where we begin, up from the shaken core of anger and greif. Nothing worth nothing until we're brought to ourselves and come up breathing on the other side.
It comes with courage and will. Wish I could write with such openess, A. Always shield my emotion in pretty metaphors. You are a poet of rare and raw intensity...

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.

Haiku of a Wayward Sailor” encompasses both haiku and poems. Many of the haiku are based on my experiences at sea.
