I fell in love with apples that rot,
For them, I'd give everything I've got.
Whether their flesh tasted good or not.

There's something about the way they squish,
That makes them my most favorite dish,
For a slimy black mouthful, I wish.

I know they have the stink of a skunk,
I'm not really a fan of their putrid funk,
But I made a vow and I'm no punk.

A single lady knows what she needs,
She searches for fruit among the weeds,
Judging by eye, inspection proceeds.

The sightly get a rap, tap, and slap,
Ones that fall flat are treated like scrap,
Her skills make unclear choices a snap.

Her knife slices open the tough rind,
The disemboweled flesh she hopes to find,
As sweet and fresh as she had in mind.

as he wondered what love's all about
she ripped into his chest and dug out
his beating heart yet he stayed devout

as he wondered if he were insane
she rolled back his scalp, scrambled his brain
yet in love with her he would remain

as he wondered why she blocked his calls
she made a trophy of his two balls
yet only her laughter he recalls

my fear of failure, my fear of shame
I'm controlled by fear like moth to flame
I fear I'm condemned to take the blame

I think I feel my bleeding heart rot
at the end I ask what have I got
at the end I ask what have I wrought

internal cuts leave internal scars
I watch the world as if behind bars
where I write these unmanly memoirs

The temperature is hot, I'm cold.
I'm needy as a newborn, I'm old.
Provide a better option, I'm sold.

If someone adores my poems, I'm glad.
If someone prefers to fight, I'm sad.
If someone hates our country, I'm mad.

If you love me for a laugh, I'll cry.
If you stretch out a hand, I'll try.
If you offer me your heart, I'll buy.

How about something a little more uplifting?

at winter's end I can't help but sing
for the world's happiest in the spring
this I know as well as anything

in springtime I'll awake before dawn
my legs shakey as a newborn fawn
with hair a mess and my face long drawn

Then I feel a breeze swirl around me
I ascend like a white dove set free
soaring overhead it's her I see

My mother taught me to love and be loved,
My father taught me to hurt and be hurt,
My uncle taught me to touch and be touched,
My dad's friends taught me to cuss and be curt.
My mom's friends taught me to lust and seduce,
Richard Simmons taught me how to reduce.

Perceiving inwards, non-surficially,
Imagine something like a single dot,
It may be difficult initially,
With practice comes control over the blot.

The poet I revere the most, Shakespeare,
Forever knight but never once knighted,
Whatever the specifics are, it's clear,
Into his world, we're always invited.

My intention for tonight is to drink,
Have fun with my dear friends and family,
Not to get soused, but take it to the brink,
Then go home to avoid calamity.
