Her eyes always glistened in the moonlight,
then again,
so does dog shit.

Uncorked
My thought were racing like the cars around,
a torrent of terrors though it made not a sound.
Surrounded by traffic but alone in the rush
every memory, emotion, each scar and each blush.
I sat in exile of leather and steel
unsure of myself and how I should feel.
Then in a moment born without thought,
I bubbled and burst like a pistol just shot.
I let out a yell
more, really, a yelp:
a sorry expression of the way that I felt.
and then like a bolt they scorched and they singed
an electric compulsion of screams that I binged.
They built ever louder as it came pouring out
each burden was dropped with each louder shout.
Till finally I yelled with all of my fight
like a warrior wailing with all of his might!
and when it was done
I felt empty inside.
It had all been released,
never longer to hide.
a torrent of terrors though it made not a sound.
Surrounded by traffic but alone in the rush
every memory, emotion, each scar and each blush.
I sat in exile of leather and steel
unsure of myself and how I should feel.
Then in a moment born without thought,
I bubbled and burst like a pistol just shot.
I let out a yell
more, really, a yelp:
a sorry expression of the way that I felt.
and then like a bolt they scorched and they singed
an electric compulsion of screams that I binged.
They built ever louder as it came pouring out
each burden was dropped with each louder shout.
Till finally I yelled with all of my fight
like a warrior wailing with all of his might!
and when it was done
I felt empty inside.
It had all been released,
never longer to hide.
I was free from the fear, the sorrow, and shame
like a gray swollen cloud finally free to drop rain.
And as the cracked, broken pavement slowly got wetter
I discovered, above all, that I finally felt better.
