I just want to eat dinner…
I’d like to eat
My dinner
Has been
Staring at me
For an hour
While I vomit
The first
Two bites
And
Ten thousand
Tiny sips
Of water
I had to drink
Because
Those two bites
Are sitting
In a heap
In my upper back
So here I am

Hell
Is this what hell is all about?
Darkness flashing all around.
Lost in a world of my own.
Walking in a crowd all alone.
Why did they all have to leave?
What have I done? tell me please.
I must have deserved this strife.
For all the sins of my life.
Is this all the love I'll ever get?
Everyone gone, all I've ever met.
Hell is but a stroll in the park,
compared to this life in the dark.
Is this what hell is all about?
This must be my fault, no doubt.
Cursed to stay in this land,
with no one to hold my...

Maddening
As I sit in the driver's seat
Riding along back roads off of the beaten path
Among open fields and dense forests
Nature and life undisturbed
My mind begins to drift and my focus becomes
Peace
Quiet
Serenity
I wonder how I got so far from that
A journey that veered off course and a path never corrected
I contemplate veering this car off the road
Making contact with one of the trees and becoming one with nature
I don't
It frustrates me ...

Reaching Myself
It's so good to hear you sounding so good and happy, man that's awesome!
It's good to hear about someone out there destroying it
It's so hard to do anything these days
Got that right
You gotta pass through so many nowhere's and plow through so many nobody's to get anywhere
All the miles each and every day you have to go through just to get to yourself
It's good to hear about someone out there destroying it
It's so hard to do anything these days
Got that right
You gotta pass through so many nowhere's and plow through so many nobody's to get anywhere
All the miles each and every day you have to go through just to get to yourself

empty sex
stillness stutters astounded by grace
it is beautiful to my soul your touch
I am a woman of desire
I am weary of my corporeal form it doesn't reflect who I am
green has turn to winter
and yet I burn brighter than ever for you
my eyes tell the tale of great passion
you disturb the surface with me
not looking into the deep pools of need
shallow in your pursuit you will reap your own corruption
a deep greed possesses you
your heart a prisoner to lust
I lust too
I temper mine with wisdom
is it yet...

She Pondered
It’s what we do as humans, isn’t it?
Compare and contrast the good, the bad and the ugly. It makes us feel better, doesn’t it?
Helping ourselves ease the disappointment of what we perceive we don’t have, versus those whom we perceive TO have, right?
Proverbial grass is greener theory, until the veneer cracks. Dark truths ooze out. As vultures we swoop in to pick the flesh from the rotting corpses. Why?

WHY DO I WAKE?
Why do I wake?
For you, I ache
with a burning
toss-and-turning,
Unrequited
lust is spited
by your absence
from my presence.

Rage
I looked trouble
In the eye
Acted swiftly
To deal with it
But I'm skeptical
Of people now
Am I angry?
No, this is
Closer to rage
At how the
World is so full
Of hatred
Rude people
The ungrateful ones
Who try to make
You miserable
At every opportunity
Why can't you and I
Disagree and
Still be pleasant
Toward each other
So many lost souls
Demanding to
Be heard
In the eye
Acted swiftly
To deal with it
But I'm skeptical
Of people now
Am I angry?
No, this is
Closer to rage
At how the
World is so full
Of hatred
Rude people
The ungrateful ones
Who try to make
You miserable
At every opportunity
Why can't you and I
Disagree and
Still be pleasant
Toward each other
So many lost souls
Demanding to
Be heard

disorientation
I can't shake feeling I'm in the wrong time
completely misplaced
a stranger in my own skin
not really meant for this
whatever it is
when the music starts
I never recognize the tune
I'm trying to tango with 2 left feet
watching storms build on the horizon
not worried about thunder
...just the lightning
I keep trying to tuck
...so I can effectively roll
but I'm all tangled in brambles
nowhere to go
bridges are fallen & roads are closed
I don't have a script...
but somehow I've become part...

WHAT HAPPENED?
We used to defy
all taboos, cross
all barriers, dare
to take a risk,
say yes against
the odds, taste the
forbidden, indulge
in decadence, and
pick ourselves up after
we were down for the count;
loose our shirt and have
to hitchhike home.
YES! Vegas is what happened
to us and we didn't let
it stay there but we brought
empty pockets with us.
BUT
we're on our way back to
the bright lights and winning
and losing....WOW! Life
gets more exciting every day,
win, lose, or draw...

WHENEVER I LOOK INTO YOUR EYES
Whenever I have the chance to look into your eyes all I see,
Is someone and something that fills me with love and glee,
Your heart is so very honest, also so innocent, and also so pure,
Gives me faith within the knowing whatever happens, we'll endure,
I'd gladly if asked and if you think necessary, change my ways,
I'd try my damnest to make you happy the rest of your days,
I try very hard and ignore it since at the moment I know it's in vein,
But, everyday in everyway I pray for you wanting to return again,
For my instinct takes...

I don't give a rat's ass about the weather
I care about the planet
How we humans ruined it
But on a day to day basis
I don't give a flying fuck about it
I work outside
Don't own a car
When it's freezing I layer up
When it's hot I wear less
That's it
Weather obsession is not sexy
It's like wearing beige
Don't be proud of it
Got it ?
