You let me know
That I can be me uncompromised
A kindred star
It's an honor to have met you
In this lifetime
It's a wonder I'm not crazy
All the pain I've handled
Although beware
I don't claim to be undamaged
You let me know
That the best pieces of me
Are still unrevealed
You inspire the buried gems
I break the laws of poetry
Trying to define your effect
The saga of life continues
Without you a dream
Without you a hell
I write from my cell
And your photograph winks at me
You let me know
Delicious words heal
I taste you sometimes
Digest you always
You fuck my heartbeat
And subdue my heart strings
You let me know
I do what other men cannot
Because I want to own you
In body. In spirit. In thought
By Travis J. Wolfkill (2014)
I try and recall lost manuscripts
From the hand of one who abandoned bliss
I come to the conclusion that
I'm just a masochist
Ranting of insanity
A man without a family
Suicide, friend of no one
I sent pleas to you
Did you know I wrote them?
I need some amusement
In this life of abusement
Between heartbreak and bullshit
I'm on my last limb
My enemies will hate
Until I'm in my crate
On my way too Hell's gate...
Dawn approaches, prayers are worthless
Life is precious only if you want it
They build prisons for when people say, "Fuck it"
And they build coffins for when people say nothing.
So I continue to write
I still have my inner light
Take my hand and walk on.
