dark winter blues
by J. J. Campbell
endless grief
on these days
cold, dark winter
blues ripping the
night open with
heartbreak and
despair
the old lovers
come armed
to the teeth
they are out
for their pound
of flesh
you’re too cool
to play the victim
the sharp tongue
ready for any
battle
certain assholes
know how much
fun it is to burn
the fucking
bridges
with people still
on it
in the back of my
brain
by J. J. Campbell
searching for the
words
some emotion that
describes the
moment
some desire tucked
deep
in the back of my
brain
cheating death
running out the
clock
on life
all my dreams have
been ruined before
i even got the
chance
to have them
another bleary
winter
day
the love of your
life
somewhere unknown
to you
rinse and repeat
does nothing
change
because i enjoy
the
madness or i don’t
deserve any better
than this
in
this damn void
by
J. J. Campbell
another morning
that the world
didn’t end while
i was sleeping
yet another cup
of coffee that
isn’t strong
enough
trapped in this
damn void
destined for nothing
other than empty
promises and
endless suffering
love is a myth
anymore
one of those tales
you tell children
to give them hope
the sock drawer
by J. J. Campbell
i remember the
first time i found
where my father
hid his cash
he always was a
simple fuck so
the sock drawer
was the first place
i looked
a stack of
twenties as high as the drawer
i took one and
would continue to take
one every couple
of weeks until my parents
got divorced
he paid for most
of the alcohol, the music,
the drugs, the
concert tickets and the books
the endless amount
of books
i never thanked
him for being a dumb fuck
he stopped talking
to me long before he died
i still have
dreams of setting the casket on fire
he’s buried at the
veteran’s cemetery along
with his second
wife
or how i like to
think of it
the second family
he ruined
i still have some
of the books and music
those twenties
bought back in the day
i wish i still had
the drugs
i squeezed more
creativity out of the
neon than i could
ever imagine
the lasting angst
by J. J. Campbell
soft black skin
monday afternoon
thirty some years
ago
your lips tasted
like cherries
i always dreamt
the rest of you
did as well
lost chances
and the lasting
angst of what
could have been
time was supposed
to heal all this
shit
more lies i guess
so children don’t
worry and have
ulcers before they
graduate high
school
in this digital
society
by J. J. Campbell
first day of
spring
frost in the
morning
sunshine all
afternoon
the spanish
princess
seems like a lost
dream
the muse comes and
goes like a cold
wind
did you ever have
a
dream so vivid
that
it became a
nightmare
every lost soul
knows
the same three
chords
subtle beauty gets
lost
in this digital
society
not sure which
emoji
is used for that
one
murder and
discomfort by J.J. Campbell another muggy night perfect for dreams of murder and
discomfort you can still see her under the covers peaceful, naked ready for more it is on nights like these where you
realize you can honestly fuck up anything of course, you blame your father he never taught you the kiss theory you had to learn all the easy shit the hard way you have the scars to prove it at least one small part of your heart still believes in hope some kind soul still wants to
love you out there find her before a bullet, a
needle, or a priest
subjective
at best by
J.J. Campbell third cup of coffee go ahead and grab the plunger somewhere the woman of your dreams is laughing thinks you are
funny and is willing to overlook your
faults at some point
during the strain you realize dreams are
subjective at best i always use cold water on the bidet helps to clear my
mind take the five horse for
the win and a longshot for the show one step from the
degenerate you always wanted to be two steps from being the same old
asshole that the world has hated for over
forty fucking years and be honest three steps who the fuck believes that
J. J. Campbell (1976–?) is old enough
to know where the bodies are buried. He's been widely published over the years,
most recently at Synchronized Chaos, Horror Sleaze Trash, The
Beatnik Cowboy, The Rye Whiskey Review, and The Black Shamrock.
You can find him most days on his mildly entertaining blog, evil delights. (https://evildelights.blogspot.com)
