heartbreak
They can break your heart, but they can't break your soul; poetry about lost love that comforts and uplifts.
Poem for Jeffrey Archer (1940 - 2026)
A nice touch, Baron. Right in time for Nobel week, I discovered that you had passed away. Maybe it was just the clichés and the reek of your work that made me say, “Hmph, well, another one done by time.” Not a sweet and pleasant eulogy; not the words to share with the line, “Here was a fellow writer!” But, you see, I knew the films, the success, the prostitute, the desperation for the title of PM or mayor. You wanted to fix your name in time (so astute). But that is not what you get, you failure. A fraud deserves no greater fate than to say at the end, “Too late.”

I Will Hack Through You. Content Warning.
I wish I could hack you to pieces with a dull knife. Or be satisfied with how easily a sharp one slices through you. I want your blood on a garage floor I will never clean. I want your parents and friends on my side. I want them to know what you did to me, and what you took away. I want them to witness the blank stare my lovers know too well because you put it here. I want to rip your arms off myself, and I want you alive for it. I want your screams to ring painfully through my skull. I want my tears and your blood to mix a disgusting palette on my cheek. I want to swing at your groin with an axe, ungracefully and enthusiastically. I want to forget your face. I want to pop out your eyes with my thumbs. I want to burn all copies of your dissertation. I want to be the virus that eats it on internet servers. I want to bite off your fingers like baby carrots. I want to tear your ears off. I want to leave your mutilated body deserted.
