Which is it?

Am I so frail

That I can’t refuse

The beauty around

That we’ve misused.

Could I be stronger

You said I can,

But I don’t know how.

How could I

lash your arms to mine

So I could pretend I’m strong

Until I’m strong.

I know what I should do

But I’m afraid.

To which you reply,

“ which is it?

Scared and mine

Or safe and damned ”

– Vagabond Prophet

Spilled Coffee

I’ll let my coffee spill

As I walk the green mile.

Left right,

Left right.

Sloshing to and fro,

I was here

I was there.

Just leave it.

Don’t mop it up,

It’s all that’s left of me,

A reminder of life

Spilling it’s banks

– Vagabond Prophet

Talking to Myself

If I write you a thousand words

Will you see the picture?

Of me alone and wanting you.

If I write ten thousand words

Will you receive the comic strip?

A scene, a day in the life, lacking the warm touch of your breath.

Or maybe this

Won’t work that way

Maybe I’m just

Talking to myself

First tendrils of madness

Soaking in like butter

On warm bread.

It tickles.
