Welcome

Hello, and welcome to my daily poetry blog. The following poems are improvised based on my day, general reflections, or by just allowing my mind to cruise in neutral without a filter. I have been working on this for something around two years now and have amassed a lot of words. You can either go through them page by page, or check out the "Hall of Better Poems" option in the right column. Please feel free to comment on what you like or dislike, and also subscribe below if you like this sort of thing. Thanks!

(typically I will write down my ideas on paper throughout the day and I may not get in front of a computer to transfer it. So I then dump a few days worth of poems at once.)

Just a nibble

A small prick
three teeth at a time.
Look away in shame before the red came.
As noses touch,
bare fangs and speak the forbidden tongue.
If word of this gets back the reckoning will be swift.
If word of this returns a head will cease to dwell here longer.
It is not regret that stirs the fleeing feet,
but fear of repercussion that keeps the slaves in line.
As the tears are forming,
the sneer is penned behind.
How does the body be such a controller to the mind?
Will you allow each breeze to rock your dreams?
I go.
I get.
I have all I desire.
The corruption is complete for me.
Only the sting of bitter justice,
forced upon my back,
will break me down.
