A Selfish Heart
Stars observe all the chaos below
Watching human’s hurt one another
Hatred takes root and starts to grow
While pitting sister against brother
Never learning from past mistakes
Gravitating towards great despair
Rushing headlong without brakes
A selfish heart without fruit to bear

This Empty House
When I walk through the door
I hear every word you ever said
Every argument we ever had
Every tear my heart bled
Every sound echoes with words unsaid
You left
I still see the glass shattered on the floor
After you walked through the door
My hands shaking
My voice still breaking
You no longer listening
Baby you left to find yourself
Maybe you’ll be better with someone else
I don’t know how you think that’s right
Now I’m alone every night
I’m not...
I hear every word you ever said
Every argument we ever had
Every tear my heart bled
Every sound echoes with words unsaid
You left
I still see the glass shattered on the floor
After you walked through the door
My hands shaking
My voice still breaking
You no longer listening
Baby you left to find yourself
Maybe you’ll be better with someone else
I don’t know how you think that’s right
Now I’m alone every night
I’m not...

What Happened To You?
What happened to your body
You used to be so good looking
It looks like a storm ripped through your eyes
Like you were rung out to dry
Pasty, dry skin
Sagging, paint peeling
What?
No shit
Crystal Meth?
That shit tore you up
You look like you've been fucked by the Army, Navy and the Lower East Side
Damn!
You use to be so fine
I used to love you
I loved the old you
The old you that wasn't an addict
The old you that wasn't beat up by men
By me talking to you right now, I can see the old you
When your eyes...

sincere
loneliness emits a certain keen
if you're listening you will hear it
an emptiness that gnaws at the soul
indifferent to my own pain
it sometimes rises with pangs of ache
and I am taken aback
doubled over with pain
my heart's sorrow clearly seen
hidden deep within, I swallow it down
regretful emotion, I don't want you to see me this way
it hurts my pride to know you get to me
salvation in a hugs sometimes that's all it takes
a smile, to keep those uneasy feelings at bay
tender emotion, when I can express...

John and Jane Doe
We don't know each other
how our lives intertwine
a mystery to remain unsolved
and forever lost to time
He's John, and I'm Jane
Very ordinary common names
Met on an elevator ride
Standing close side by side
History has yet to be written
The present is what we're given
There could be a ring
on our fingers, and yet, tonight
this is not the question that lingers
Will he stay away
This is just for a night
A release to take the edge off
A release we both need tonight
Not...

Black Tree Forest
Tha path into the black tree forest
can hear a lost soul's silent cry.
The trees, black entanglements
of vacant limbs climb towards a pale sky.
Black bark configurations.
Excite the shadowed imagination.
The black trees absorb despairing
thoughts and worries.
Awaiting the sugared innocence
of those first snow flurries.
Here, like a fallen leaf,
the heart's decayed foliage is quietly buried.

This Life
In spite of all the danger
Pray to the Heaven's above
Packed in life's container
What's the meaning of?
Applause the final curtain
Taking your final puff
Spectators serving sermons
All in the name of love
Pray to the Heaven's above
Packed in life's container
What's the meaning of?
Applause the final curtain
Taking your final puff
Spectators serving sermons
All in the name of love

Meanwhile Down Here on Earth
There is a new light shining in the distance
Over in the southern celestial hemisphere
The scales of fate seem to weigh in balance
Welcoming a new presence
Meanwhile down here on earth
Broken hearts
and watery eyes fixate on Libra
The constellation has given birth
As stargazers wonder and watch in awe
Replete with love the spirit is lifted
Words and verse become memories and memoirs
For in the great beyond out in the universe
She has completed her journey to the stars
Over in the southern celestial hemisphere
The scales of fate seem to weigh in balance
Welcoming a new presence
Meanwhile down here on earth
Broken hearts
and watery eyes fixate on Libra
The constellation has given birth
As stargazers wonder and watch in awe
Replete with love the spirit is lifted
Words and verse become memories and memoirs
For in the great beyond out in the universe
She has completed her journey to the stars

I.
I wish I was a Witch
imbued through grace
beget by the knowledge of Truth
to combat ignorance
I'd proudly proclaim the title
bowing to Mother Nature
for gifting me the moniker
of so brave the women
—maiden, mother, and crone—
who suffered under religiosity
from pointy fingers
and judgmental tongues
condemning them to death

Just a note.
Hello friends.
As of today I'll be taking a break from DUP for a bit. I've been getting eye pain lately from too much screen time which is unhealthy. I won't be closing my account or deleting any poems so I apologize for not returning any replies in case anyone should happen to review. Thank you ahead of time.

HUMAN INTO A MACHINE
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ Yet I come here now before you, as I am a witness to what he can do for you. 🙏 For sure I am not just only HUMAN AND A MACHINE. 🤔 For I am more than that, for sure I have the ability to manifest that, which I see and believe, in my silent whispers of my dream. For even though I can think for thyself, sometimes it feels like I have been traumatized by the things, that are involved in creating a different kind of perspective on life. 🤨 For sure we are living as placements, that has been changed by the...
