I know my flaws
Holding on to the darkness
As I step out of the light
I did everything I ever did
I own up to it too
Never hiding behind a phrase
“The devil made me do it”
Not in my vocabulary
Good
Evil
Never satisfied
Either way
I keep them both hungry
Sometimes I recognize myself
Others I don’t
The times in between
Are madness
Schizophrenic tendencies
Of a multi-faceted gem
I fuel myself with whiskey
Fight
Drink
Fuck
Yet my heart is full of empathy
Forgive
Forget
Love
Many different faces
Many different masks
Hobo lullabies
Rich man dreams
Commando stain pants
Fresh clean shirt
I fancy myself as a bard & wordsmith, madman, artist, free thinker, cat lover, hat lover, owl enthusiast, and crystal collector. My poems have been featured in print form on two separate occasions. My poem “A Philosophical Treasure Chest” was picked for the anthology ‘Where the Mind Dwells’ after wining a submission contest, and five of my poem submissions were accepted to be in ‘Tribute-Pirates Anthology’ by Writing Knights Press. Some of my poetry has also been in the pages of various online magazine publications. Poetry Blog: http:// jdcivskeletonsfrommycloset. blogspot.com/
