Finding God on I76Someone once told meFinding God on I76 by ~Jaybird101
They found God behind bars
After a manslaughter conviction
Behind the wheel of a stolen car
I pondered for a moment
Realizing this made no sense
Someone else told me
They found him on I-76
Near the corner of 1st and 5th
It seems they were involved in an accident
Nothing like a near fatal miss
To put things back in perceptive again
But with so many churches
Across so many blocks
Why prisons and street corners
God must be lost
And why so many people
Have a near miss
And decide it's time
For God to bless
I'm not particularly religious
But it seems to me
To have faith
Is to believe and follow unconditi
Little Black HeartI don't believeLittle Black Heart by ~Jaybird101
In automatic love
No matter how good it sounds
I don't believe
Love starts when eyes meet
Or with a few scraps
Of poetry
I believe
Love is evolutionary
Beginning with something else
Admiration
Infatuation
And let us not forget
Lust
Maybe even
A commonality
Or simple friendship
Perhaps
For some of us
It doesn't start at all
So maybe I
Should face facts
Love never came
So easily
The only woman to capture this heart
Do so over time
Chiseling away at ash and stone
Where so many others had tried
Until all that remained
Was this little black heart
This broken charred heart
Of mine
I never said
Terminal DreamsThe alarm goes off at six amTerminal Dreams by ~Jaybird101
But I don't sleep much these days
I force myself to stand up
Stubbornly ignoring the pain
Pushing myself beyond limits
for responsibilities that don't wait
Existing between pay checks now
I have medical expenses to pay
Specialists who love to run tests
And doctors who can't tell me a thing
They probe at me for mysteries
As if a medical journal awaits
Reading charts and drawing blood
With nothing of interest to say
While I just keep
Getting sicker and sicker
Weak and withering away
Like answers
They have no cure for me
Instead
They pump me full of Amitriptyline
Xanax and something for pain
