Night Time In The Morning
Each night I brave the tough streets
Seeking solace from my sleeplessness
Each morning I find a warm place
Good friend jokes and breakfast
Each day comes my brain is tired and I look through red eyes
At what I must remember isn't mine
I wish I could have found love in my early days sought out happiness
Now the young ones call me middle aged as the fire slowly burns out
Find me a new way a way a way to brave the drawbacks
Travel far away into a new place that doesn't judge us all like this
What good does it to seek out weakness and insult it seems something
That we all do
I love the night time no one sees you we all melt into the back drop
Even here where women walk the night and teenagers drunk on steroids
It holds out hope for me I will find the right one
Though really many years have passed
The right ones are all married to
The ones who got attention in our younger days
I was too afraid
Too afraid
To think I had something
To offer them
Now I walk out
In search of breakfast
In a lousy
Part of town
And years
Go by
Why
I
Have
To
Die?

Jimmy's At 4:20am
Night comes
Finding me awake hungry lonely
What does the night mean to your soul
Darkness
To my whole
Hole in the darkness seeking hunger
Smell of lilacs venture out live the night
Or. Face. The day.
My feet hurt I don't want to walk this far
Only one place
Understands
The soul of a poet
A hungry poet
A few eggs too many potatoes
Bacon
Sliding
Down whole
Lost most of my teeth
Can't chew the damn bacon
Runny eggs
In the night morning
Waiting
For
Lost teeth
To
Grow back
As
My novel sits
Unfinished
On the way home my only friends
Are rabbits
Bouncing like poems facing facing
THE DAY

Poems From Inside Me
PoetryThis is a chapbook of poetry that led me to dedicate myself to writing, whether it be for money or simply to express myself. In this book I talk about family, love, loss and all the illusions that life brings us through.
