Cruelty
Just another accomplishment
Just another notch
I was fragile
Almost beyond repair
But you couldn't resist
You couldn't just let me be
I was alone
Just found myself a home
In the darkness of my mind
Content to just survive
Content in my own silence
Thought I had found a way
Maybe a way out
Why couldn't you just let me be
Just another notch
I was fragile
Almost beyond repair
But you couldn't resist
You couldn't just let me be
I was alone
Just found myself a home
In the darkness of my mind
Content to just survive
Content in my own silence
Thought I had found a way
Maybe a way out
Why couldn't you just let me be

Cyber 2020 "
Lovers with lackluster passion, dance in remembrance to the sounds of wedding marches and funeral organs.
He has her oblivious God sullenly tattooed upon his empty prayers and vacant good vibes sent in a dot com world.
Passion and contempt escape in the polluted breeze that tickles the lungs of youth freebasing "likes" of pixelated love
Digital loneliness emphasized by hash tag revolutions march along dark forgotten streets in time to all rejected musical numbers.
Log in, log off, flash mob, flash bomb. Your cries are...

The Question
Is the heart, break after shatter
no breath with which to cry
complicit in its own suffering?
no breath with which to cry

I tried to Kill the Absolute Sword
Today is a Day of Remembrance,
of Utter Respect for the Ways,
I believe in your Ascendance,
but I show the opposite, for it prevails.
So sorry, I always repeat it,
yet I fall in the trap... again and again...
the Plan of God's perfectly knitted,
clouds sewn to the Cosmic matter... I deign.
I always fail to meet the expectations
that prove oneself to be worthy of trust...
Is it for my ungrateful lack of patience
that I distort the facts, or it's bad lust?
I look up in the sky and I hear
"Om Namaste Om Namaste...
of Utter Respect for the Ways,
I believe in your Ascendance,
but I show the opposite, for it prevails.
So sorry, I always repeat it,

clouds sewn to the Cosmic matter... I deign.
I always fail to meet the expectations
that prove oneself to be worthy of trust...
Is it for my ungrateful lack of patience
that I distort the facts, or it's bad lust?
I look up in the sky and I hear

Narcissus
Scratching my way to freedom
I found a respite from your cruelty
Hurling my tearful doldrums
Into outerspace
The hornet has its nest
And a hole will hide the scorpion
But you, my lovely serpent
Can't find a home in either place
A bitter, salty powder
Made from cried out dirges
Time to genuflect
Upon your righteous kill
What keeps a donor needing
A seeker constantly seeking
In lonely, broken mirrors
For one more soul to to steal?
The titan, breathless and pale
Slinking...
I found a respite from your cruelty

Made from cried out dirges

Pragmatic tears of the highly functioning
To hear golden eggs crack
A born linguistic spoke today
micro poetic curtain
opens
I am a nuisance
because I am smart
I hear every eye blink
understanding each
wind source
Sometimes only
a dark room
gives me comfort
because light
screams
in sensory overload
There is paraffine
in my cells and
kerosene in my
throat
I live
the straitjacket
called
life

Pointless
I could speak my mind, but you already did that for me.
I could tell you how much of a bastard you are, but you did that to yourself.

AS WE DO
Here we go again, eh?
Trying desperately to sew up old wounds
Like stopping in the middle of open-heart surgery
And saying “fuck this. here’s a bandaid”
Sometimes you text me
Or show up at my house
Just to apologize for unspoken thoughts
Well today I thought I’d return the favor
That’s inaccurate - I’ve thought about doing this
Every day
For the past six months
But today? Today is the day to make mistakes
So I drop you a line
And we talk
And it’s like walking through quicksand
I don’t wish that I’d...

on this sunny day
my father left us too soon
just days before his celebration
on a random afternoon
I’m supposed to attune
broken radio stuck on station
my father left us too soon
emotions not immune
death unexpected the causation
on a random afternoon
getting lost in lagoons
screaming to high hell and damnation
my father left us too soon
we release these balloons
a memorial dedication
on a random afternoon
nights to stare at the moon
HE took...
just days before his celebration

I’m supposed to attune
broken radio stuck on station
my father left us too soon
emotions not immune

getting lost in lagoons
screaming to high hell and damnation
my father left us too soon
we release these balloons
