Lost At Sea
My arms grew tired, I couldn't swim anymore
No one around to help me
A sharp pain within my core
I was drifting further & further out
The more I fought the current
I began to panic, I began to shout
The distant coastline was my last vision
Rip currents tired me out
I made my final decision
I stayed afloat until I had nothing else left
Neptune dragged me down
Drowning was the cause of death
No one around to help me
A sharp pain within my core
I was drifting further & further out
The more I fought the current
I began to panic, I began to shout
The distant coastline was my last vision
Rip currents tired me out
I made my final decision
I stayed afloat until I had nothing else left
Neptune dragged me down
Drowning was the cause of death

The Dark
my thoughts wander to my darkness as they often do
Where it comes from, I know not
never to see the light of day
the things that creep inside my psyche
to harm another not in keeping with my gentle nature
My soul blanches at the thought of another's downfall
still, to keep it all in my anxiety grows
and the words tumble out of my mouth
Where they go later, I don't know
It troubles me even still
celebrated darkness from the pit
My mind wasn't always so inclined
with studious study of the bible I did toil
Then...

Journey to the stars
"stardust to stardust"
every atom in me
longs to return to thee;
o' majestic stars...
wish i could defy gravity,
soar high into infinity,
be sucked into blackhole-
your ever disintegrating soul
made from stardust-
each cell of my being
yearns to be in sync;
whirling within and within-
you in me and me in you,
a self-destructive waltz
to go on for eternity-
ever lost in mystery...
i'm rusting on earth,
mud peeling off my...

A Sexist Pig Getting What He Deserves
Chris walked into the bathroom.
Saw a woman's reflection in the mirror.
That yawn became a scream.

Touch
A touch can last
like the mark left
by a searing branding iron,
and every touch that follows
will burn through to the marrow,
leaving only aversion.

When Our Dreams Have Died
Land of opportunity
A chance to thrive
A loving community
That's full of drive
Where dreams take shape
And hard work pays
Once America was great
Unique in many ways
Brother helping brother
With a common goal
Success of each other
Is success of the whole
Happiness and success
At our fingertips
But now nevertheless
Our dreams have slipped
Tears have moistened
Our tear filled eyes
We have been poisoned
By the repeated lies
Anger and rage
Have filled our minds ...
A chance to thrive

That's full of drive

And hard work pays

Happiness and success
At our fingertips
But now nevertheless
Our dreams have slipped

Our tear filled eyes

Stop Smiling
I
Am
A
Wreck
Bruised and discarded like those old ships
You found me and now what?
Why do you smile?
Everyone passes me by and not give a damn
Not …A…Damn!
You smiled at me
You reached for me and…and
What am I supposed to do?
You don’t understand
I’m a wreck
Your light hurts me
Stop! Smiling!
“Beautiful”
Me?
Beautiful?
Does he not see the bruises I carry?
This eye is black and blue
I did not fall
STOP..SMILING!
It’s starting to rain now
I can feel it...

sync
sweet surrender racing in my thoughts a place to hide
Succumb to the darkness with me
you'll find a welcoming place to reside
secrecy of feeling, of course
your body and mine
touching at depths not understood by mortals
we will worship each other
tasting the soul within the sacred understanding
luscious focus spitting on your flame to watch it grow
spinning out of control, you might just lose your mind
with an injection of satirical chaos
We will laugh at the sarcastic die
controlling the masses
we...

If you bully Betty I'll pull out your public hair with pliers
You've been warned
Don't mess with my friend Betty
You're lucky
She's 6'4 and breathes fire

Needful
within my need is a greediness to be filled
a hunger so great it howls late at night to no one listening
I'm unsure of its depths
but it consumes rapidly, and where the succor goes I don't know
energizing more need
It's feral and unending
It tears at me by day
with thoughts of give me more
My solemn can't take it
my mind will not hunt
It will not encourage
it is chaste of vision
so I starve with this consuming desire
to the point my soul calls out to my God
He is the only one who can touch me there ...
a hunger so great it howls late at night to no one listening
I'm unsure of its depths
but it consumes rapidly, and where the succor goes I don't know

An Endless 30
A string— unwound, not broken
melancholy— the rhythm rang
where Orchids bloom unspoken
beneath tears the sorrow sang
whispers through the windowpane
A cry for help, for need
of primal instinct against better judgment
the cost of a good deed.
the need to impair,
to make yourself believe.
through constant despair
will you finally be free?
oh, the horror! the tragedy!
when lust becomes a liar
drenched in misery
forever in the fire.
shunning vanity and cowering in shame ...
