17th Century Europe
Let me help you
Pain is all you have to endure
Let me cut you
Before the poison makes you turn
Your skin and flesh your blood and bone
Your heart your mind your soul will be torn
Rotten and forgotten before buried in the soil
When the torment stops you‘ll return to home
Those black stains you see
Are formed from the soul of thee
You are rotten to the core
I could try and help once more
But my doubt is too great
And I don't fear nor hate
Do not lie to me
Unlike you I can see
Do not beg of me ...

molten feelings
Feelings erupt within me
And I swallow them back down
Volcanic, I drink the lava
burning as it goes
until nothing but hot ash comes from my mouth
It's simmering rage beneath
With small escapes of magma
But the intensity it creates
causes small islands around me
The anger is not directed at anyone
Simply, it is present
When the pressure builds
I have no way to vent fully
The earth moves underneath me
The outside world shifts
And the molten fire threatens again
It is a balancing act, holding...

466 days and some change
you ask if I had a
tetanus shot
before you pull
my naked madness
to yours
foreheads pressed,
your hands circle
my waist as
that razor sharp
bear-trap
on your chest
creaks on rusty springs
and baby
if it takes 10,000 hours
to develop callus enough
to endure
then I am
emotional fucking psoriasis
a mountain of
uncalcified heart skin
chronically rubbed off
against your chest spires
and I’ll give you
10,000 movie magic
moments ...

When it gets that way
When it gets that way sometimes, we have to decide, not to deny the truth that keeps, slapping you in the face. 😯
WHEN it gets to that way how much more will you. Keep on believing the lies, that they won't abuse you, emotionally and mentally and physically. 😯 How much more do you think, you gonna keep taking, for truly can you really denying yourself and be honest when ask thyself. 🤔 WHAT do you want and need, in your life and love dreams. For sure when in those kinds of situations, you only have one mission, Then it's time to leave for a more righteous,...

Intoxicated
You did not call me
I went to you by choice
The sight of you in that dress
A dress that not many can pull off
Oh
I’m going to pull it off
You turn a smile with your lips
That naturally looked thoroughly kissed
Sucked and fucked
Painted in a blush-toned
"Baby, it should be red"
The way you look
Hungry does not describe it
Thirst is not it either
It more like “other”
A hodgepodge of wants, desires, and god blushing sex
Did you just breathe me in deep
Take it all in

Back to Gemini
(Castor and Pollux 2)
Back to Gemini that space between him and I
When we see eye to eye in that dual personality
One’s a fly by and the other can be the fall guy
Like a balance act between absurdity and rationality
And perhaps this is why Gemini is my favorite constellation
As if the astrological sign is in line with that characterization
There are two temperaments but usually logic is at the helm
While the mad enthusiastic maniac wants to overwhelm
Castor and Pollux watch from their positions in the sky
It’s like their...

Bourbon and Trouble Redux
Don't know nothing about religion
Politics stay away from me
I know about hard work
Women and bourbon
That's enough trouble for any man

You said 'baby' already!
Yeah but I'm here for the thrill...
Mr Vance!

He’s gonna save your back,
Your reputation -

Ala, ala... my baby's back!
He wants everyone sacked.
If I were you,
I'd take a permanent vacation...
To Ukraine!

Alas, you know he’s been lyin',
No matter what Musk is tryin'.
He shoulda stayed gone for good!
Ah wooo, ah wooo.
