Call yourself a liar
Left arm on fire
Each take a turn
Watch them go burn.

Throw down the dice
Cut a big slice
The chest tightens up
Fill the deepest cup.

Break off a piece
Shell cracks to decease
All lost and trust
Red dead and rust.
Robert J Howard May 2017
Sweet tooth
Always burns
Candle grows
Hunger glows.

Dark night
Spanish tale
Depressed lives
Rising knives.

Spiced lamb
Sweet coffee
Broken bread
Missed bed.

Last chance
Birds arising
Must write
Feelings alight.
Late Night Musings
Robert J Howard May 2017
Is this a test?
Is this it?
As good as it gets?
God, I hope not.

Need something more
Something to bite into
Solid, taste, satisfy.
Feed my hunger.

Blurred light
Keep on staring
Drift off slowly
Need to snap out of it.

Senses loaded
Awakening me
Push on forward
Every day comes.
Monday's Life Waking Up Stimulation
Robert J Howard May 2017
Feeling unsteady
Lost your voice
Maybe not ready
You have no choice.

Numb in hand
Weak by heart
Standing alone
Time to part.

Clock has ticked
Your time has gone
Regrets aplenty
Light dims not shone.

Last breath escapes
Grit your teeth
Now no feeling
Some small relief.
Robert J Howard May 2017
Hot coffee
Swallowed too quick
Cold water
Allowed to stick.

Too many thoughts
Things to do
Too many noughts
Life in lieu.

Write it all down
Scratch it off your mind
Drink it all down
Let the spring unwind.

Cleanse your soul
Straight from the bowl
An earnt taboo
Burnt just for you.
Striving
Robert J Howard Apr 2017
4 AM
Foreign film
Bored hunger
Dry throat.

Getting late
Parlez-vous Francais?
Chocolate craving
Sore chest.

Darkest hour
Prefer Spanish
More caffeine
Matchstick eyes.

Endless night
Travel needed
Coffee tea
Much relief.
Robert J Howard Mar 2017
Ringing like a bell
Rolling in Hell
Sure was swell
You never could tell.

All along Route 66
Getting his kicks
Strumming and picks
Inventing the first licks.

Absolutely very
Completely necessary
Juicy like a cherry
Sweet as a Berry.

Down on your luck
Things sure can ****
Don't give a flying.....
Just listen to the man, Chuck.
An Ode, Chuck Berry
