Two Poems by Mike Meraz

Somewhere Between God And The Devil

somewhere between God and the devil
each man searches
for his own niche, his own groove
in the pavement of life.
(some find it, some don't).

somewhere between God and the devil
each woman searches for a man
who has found his own niche, his own groove
in the pavement of life.
(some find him, some don't).



Cheap Ass Poem On A Friday Night Because I Was Bored

this is my
"now I'm really pissed off" hair cut
and these are my
"never been in your room" shoes
and this is my
"everywhere but in the national publications" pen
and these are my
"never will be immortal" thoughts
being read by your
"how does he get away with this shit" eyes.

Your poems are great--I love how you write from the gut. Too many people think that everything under the sun has already been said about love/relationships, but I really like your take on it.
