IN REMEMBRANCE OF A. G.

Still the same old fucked up place here
one less voice to remind us
one less pen to chronicle it
one less poet to call it as
it is and shouldn't be.

Civil Rights swallowed up by
the moral majority right
keep "them" in their place
in the ghettos and tenements
out of or sight, we need you.

Cocks still search for a night's fun
in bars and cars and homes
never enough to go around
America has a cock shortage
even yours is now missed.

The right wingers fly high today
marijuana won't take them away
and I can't use due to laws
that imprison you for hurting
no one, trying to escape.

Television still tells us what to buy
I forgive your part in that
what we see isn't real
but don't tell anyone that
WCW is rigged, sacrilege!

One less truth sharer and prophet
to expose this plastic society
to lead our heads where
no head has gone before
in a head trek to the light.

Who will now rise up to fill a void
left in our hearts, soul, and minds
mindless thought they be
heartless in the me-ness
soullessness of the days?

Poor sad little happy queer one
who was never ashamed of who
people said you should be
instead, your heterosexual
psychoanalytical trial failed, gladly.

The wars still rage on foreign ground
body bag makers still grow wealthy
on account of foreign policy
made by a group of old men
who's wars kill young men.

So much is new that nothing has changed
brains are now washed with Prozac
and modern lobotomy drugs
and groups and therapy
yet more people continue to grow sick.

Fucking has been replaced by work
work hard and fuck your life
foreplay is getting into the
mini-van and 3 bedroom house
just sign on the line, get fucked.

Beat has been beaten to death
replaced with muzack and oldies
listen but don't remember what
we used to be about in youth
vote for republicans, be right wing.

Religion is something else again on T.V.
and in churches love your fellow man
as long as you aren't gay, but reject
all of them who don't go to the same
church as you do, they're all going to hell anyway.

Allen, we miss you and are both sad and glad
we are empty but you have
sprouted out from this place
leaving so much behind for us
wit, wisdom, teaching, and always, the poetry!

Here is a poem that I wrote for a very special woman who is a kindred spirit!

A NORTHERN WOMAN

Far away, yet in tune we live
together in our misery looking
seeking that magic we need.
You of the north, me south
heartbeats are synchronized
even though distance is
between our needs for
each other's love and care.
Pain has held each of us
tightly like a hated lover
who never will just go
but stays, remaining ours.
I dream of you and of me
the dreams wake me
and I feel more pain
because you're in pain
and I know that we
can ease each other's
personal hell of pain.
Northern woman I reach
your heart and want
more of you in my life
to care for and comfort
to hold and love away
our hell, our shared pain.
Southern man here lonely
for you and needing you
more than I can say.
Will we ever be able to
dream together in flesh?
Will the north and south
rise again together in love
to burn each other's desires
and purge our pain together?
I pray at night to an empty sky
bring her to me, bring her to me.
So far, no response from above,
will it always be like this?
Northern woman of dreams
my heart is yours for the asking,
please ask.


SINDY

You had that little something extra that drew me to you.
You called it an Angel in your pocket, I called it sex.
I knew you were a whore when I asked you to move in.
It never mattered, especially when you told me of your brothers,
how they had taken your body, fucked you when you were only a child.
I understood your need for love as well as I knew some thing else,
that I couldn't give you my emotions, beyond just fucking you,
selfishly using you for my own personal sexual playground.
I fucked you in many ways, too many ways, I even fucked your mind.
You were hardened and tough but I softened you with my phoney tears.
We shared a sexual joy together, so much so I couldn't bear to leave our bed.
During the party to celebrate our cohabitation I had too much to drink,
remember when I tried to shoot your stupid assed brother?
He came to our party to kick my ass! God did he run when I drew my gun.
I was your hero for doing that to the brother who had violated your body.
You had a son by another man, a brat who raised hell in our home,
maybe if you would have given up your son, it might have lasted.
After all, I hated the little bastard more than his asshole father.
Why did I let your brother Sam and his Mexican wife live with us?
I wanted to fuck Sam's lovely Mexican wife, so thin, warm. and delicate,
she deserved more than your worthless brother, my cock deep inside of her.
You never knew how I would stand behind her as she cooked breakfast tortillas
rubbing my, cock against her sweet ass, hoping she would give in to me.
She foolishly never did, and now I can't even remember her lovely name,
I can still remember our sex, the tightness and warmth of your pussy.
God! I miss all of that now that I'm a man alone, by my own cursed fault.
They say when you dance with the devil, you have to pay the piper,
Cindy, God damn it, at the time I never knew how much that would cost me.
The devil's piper's price was way too far, too much for me to bear.
You and your hang-ups got on my nerves, and finally drove me away.
That doesn't mean that I have forgotten our short hot nights together,
entwined in each other's frantic love making, working hard against each other in bliss.
Sometimes, late in the darkness of night, I stroke and abuse myself and think of you.
You were pure sex to me, Disneyland in our bed, what a hell of a wild ride we had!
Do you ever think of me late in your lonely nights?



LITTLE THINGS

I am a teddy bear for you
I want to be more
let me be your toy
your comfort and more
cry on my shoulder
let go of the pain
only then can you
start to share the joy
of all of the days
little things and
lifes biggest love
my soft fur is yours
to hold and turn to
for what you have
yet to find in life
it's closer than
you can imagine.


The Worst Kind of Love

I know the worst kind of love
that there is.
Living in the shadow world
of this love,
day after day,
my heart breaking in two.
The worst kind of love
is unrequited love.
To live in love
with someone
who doesn't love you.
Restless dreams of her haunt me,
her face,
her voice,
memories of her love,
wake me in the middle
of the night,
long lonesome
dark night.
Who said it is better to have loved
and lost,
than to never have loved at all,
was a fool.
Like me in my craziness
to have let her go.


Yesterdays

A voice in the night
calls me
reflections of my
past life
fill my brain with
loud noise.
Musical disharmony
of discontent
I want to go
back
to make it better.
Correct
all mistakes
right my wrongs and
fight lost
battles
anew.
Night holds a dark mirror
to eyes that
can't see
a thing.
With sick ignorance
. weak willed
self
pity
I'll whine then
get my dress
go drag forth
and
get drunk and if
lucky laid.
Sex is good
for the
soul
it helps
you to
forget
all yesterdays.
