POEM OF THE DAY - "Welcome To The WYLD Side"

Today, I turned 42 years old. I feel the need to be liberated. I am liberating myself by writing a poem that is a bit more edgy than most of the things I write. So, without excuse, here it is:

Welcome to the WYLD side

I am an engine roaring, revving, deafening you

the bass that throbs in your heart

the last puff taken hard, wanting more

the beast that tears you apart

I am the cover model, male lover

the thing that goes bumps in the night

the world’s greatest thrill ride

a one man riot only I can incite

I am the roulette wheels loose screw

the Holy Ghosts example

a growling dog’s breaking point

the squeal from a wood rat trample

I am the snake bite venom

and the decomposing flesh

I am ice shock to afterlife

a mentor to David Koresh

I am the non-believer to all things physical

yet privy to them all

the blood stains on yellow t-shirts

the ghost shadow down the hall

I am the needle that summons you

the drug you crave the most

the constant confusion inside your head

an alligator’s bed host

I am the one most likely to fuck and leave

and keep you at my will

and tell you, “you were just a fling"

yet leave you smiling still

I am hot iron branded Luke

and tattoos in private places

cock rings and scrotum piercings

cum drops on pretty faces

I am hot piss on back porches

and shit behind pine trees

I am the one that farts in Devil’s face

and brings him to his knees

I am the roll out on 22’s

the shot from a .45

the rocking car down city streets

as I masturbate and drive

I am 10 cups of black coffee

and a whore-ish witches brew

I am the reality of your nightmares

so be careful what you do

I am all night parties with nobody's

and tongue kisses on ecstasy

I am a food stamp selling money maker

and coke with Hennessey

I am rolling dice with rock and roll

and pee in swimming pools

I set the standard for being WYLD

but learn from other fools

I am prayer candles and amulets

charms and wiccan spells

I love caviar and fine champagne

but stay in cheap hotels

So if after reading what you’ve just read

you still wanna take this ride

then buckle up and hold your shit

and welcome to the WYLD side!
