21/30 - From The Bone Pile: Excerpts Of Poems I Never Want To Show

4/27/2014

Hey There Poets and Readers,

My fellow poets, do you ever have those poems that you would never share with the world because they are either too personal, they may not be appropriate to show in certain circles, or they just suck? I have quite a few and while these are works that I rather not show, there are some great lines I really want to share.

Not every poem is meant for the world and you are in control with what you share. You don't have to share a whole poem to show that you have written. With that said, here are some of my lines from the X-Files (if you know me, you know what this means):

Politics

"It's the I become 
a babbling mess and
everything I keep working 
towards goes 
out the window 
because 
you make me 
want to get 
on my knees 
and 
beg, pray, suck 
your cock - 
look up at you 
like you are 
the majestic king."

Accountability - Part II  

"How do I stop myself from wanting your name in my womb? "

The Hunt

"It's another day 
in the life of me. 

7:23 AM, 
brushing my teeth, 
calculating time 
while listening 
to my poetry 
gods. 

They remind me to 
lick the dawn 
in between 
my fingers 
as I storm 
out of the house. 

That if I do not get 
the job and have wasted 
a day in my 
Ashley Stewart, 
Lane Bryant, 
Avenue combo, 
I still have the 
beauty of you 
under my tongue. 

So I'll sit for a moment 
in my borrowed Queens 
apartment and pray 
that one day, 
I will sit on the steps 
of Brooklyn again. 

I will get the chance 
to love you 
again, my god, 
poet."
