Patrick Walters

storybook places

once upon a time
is how
them fairytails 
always begin
all dressed in silk
and lilac scent
a glass slipper here
rotten apple there
finger pricks
for golden threads
my fallen 
broken shell
waits for 
magical 'maginations
and storybook places
hopefull
ill find you
along my way
in a sleepful
childlike dream
deeply wanting
for love
to heal
once upon a time
heart





truth is

ill see her again

next
paycheck
lonely

truth is
no such thing
as a fiddydollar dancer

she makes 
loves rain
on a titty flash
and bottle service

lonely is
brass pole sexy
cost me
another months
rent

walked some
hard miles tonight

spent taxi cash
on an old man
feelin young





the wonderwhen

if you
      should ever
              wonder love
      about me
              wonder why
      about me
              wonder where
      about me
 i am
       here 
            wondering love
       about you
            wondering why
       about you
            wondering where
       about you
                 
            wondering when
yould let your days
                         find mine
