Abyss
In the abyss of
the subconscious
In the bloody veins,
confession beats in me
Here in the dark
there are only demons
Their wild songs hit
the crown of the head
Fear gives rise to
the enemy in me
I run into the darkness
I go nowhere
Weak weak-willed
reddened eyelids
Close my eyes to
stay forever
Here in the dark
among barking demons
I am the fallen angel
of this damn paradise
Universal sadness
will tear my soul
Sad appearance,
but it will get better
Let's assume...

Is this all I am?
We long for human connection.
Even when our personalities sometimes avoid it. The spirit is weakened.
When our efforts are thwarted.
A self inflicted wound that eyes can not see.
A feeling of desperation... is this all I am to be?
Even when our personalities sometimes avoid it. The spirit is weakened.

A self inflicted wound that eyes can not see.

And he was
Dark's regret
The longing of what life
should have been
Beneath the pressure
of the writer's pen
I felt the growing
sadness
Sleeping in a morbid
display
Of the pendulum that
was his way
Showing me his melancholia
ways, thinking about
how he could digest
my inner sins
Without a sound
Loneliness was him
And he was...lonely
The longing of what life
should have been
Beneath the pressure
of the writer's pen
I felt the growing
sadness
Sleeping in a morbid
display
Of the pendulum that
was his way
Showing me his melancholia
ways, thinking about
how he could digest
my inner sins
Without a sound
Loneliness was him
And he was...lonely

I Consume, I Devour
Eyeing you like a rare jewel.
My sight lingers on...
Your facets,
Your highlights,
Your imperfections.
So delicious they are to me.
Infinitely fascinating and
Immeasurably vulnerable.
I can see it inside of you,
Like a star shining within,
A beacon that calls out to me.
A light that I swallow,
A warmth I devour.
Silken brightness blooms
In this...
My sight lingers on...
Your facets,
Your highlights,
Your imperfections.
So delicious they are to me.
Infinitely fascinating and
Immeasurably vulnerable.
I can see it inside of you,
Like a star shining within,
A beacon that calls out to me.
A light that I swallow,
A warmth I devour.
Silken brightness blooms
In this...

Daydreamed about Putting Gum in Her Hair
High School
She sat in front of me
Long beautiful blond hair
The fantasy of all the boys
Envy of the girls too
I hated her easy looks
Had daydreams of putting gum in her hair
A whole wad of it
Would have had to cut it all off
Then she wouldn't be so special
Never did it
High School was a mess for me
Undiagnosed ADD
Mind wandering all the time
Grew out of it eventually
I think back on those juvenile delinquent days
Should have been sniffing glue with the other drones
The blond with long hair...
She sat in front of me
Long beautiful blond hair
The fantasy of all the boys
Envy of the girls too
I hated her easy looks
Had daydreams of putting gum in her hair
A whole wad of it
Would have had to cut it all off
Then she wouldn't be so special
Never did it
High School was a mess for me
Undiagnosed ADD
Mind wandering all the time
Grew out of it eventually
I think back on those juvenile delinquent days
Should have been sniffing glue with the other drones
The blond with long hair...

Homecoming
Dreading to come home
Although the dog licks your face
No place more lonely

No place more lonely

The Haunting of Eerie
Always that broken old mansion, nestled
way up in the trees.
A brick skeleton bravely
greets morning light, reverberating
with quiet mysteries.
Flowers still grow 'round moldy
porch posts, flashing glorious eyes.
Twenty seven years I have been infatuated...
drawing me to its wooded hill, wrapping
itself around my spirit.
way up in the trees.
A brick skeleton bravely
greets morning light, reverberating
with quiet mysteries.
Flowers still grow 'round moldy
porch posts, flashing glorious eyes.
Twenty seven years I have been infatuated...
drawing me to its wooded hill, wrapping
itself around my spirit.

A Day dies in the city
Ravens fly over rivers of filth
Over steel serpents
Heavy metal horses
Over and up the tower to roost
The day is dead, the night alive
Above the line sleeping sweet
Below the line screaming raw
The old man on the corner
Waiting for a bag of brown
Smiling in the dark
As night lingers on
Rain falls into sticky sludge
He gets his bag
Asleep before the dawn
Worn out lovers lay together
Only the early hours are left
Before the madness of another day
Begins
Over steel serpents
Heavy metal horses
Over and up the tower to roost
The day is dead, the night alive
Above the line sleeping sweet
Below the line screaming raw
The old man on the corner
Waiting for a bag of brown
Smiling in the dark
As night lingers on
Rain falls into sticky sludge
He gets his bag
Asleep before the dawn
Worn out lovers lay together
Only the early hours are left
Before the madness of another day
Begins

Makeup Perfect Waiting to be Smudged
I know what you need
Forget about want
You can stop already with the broken crap
You're just unused
Still in the shrink wrap
Make-up perfect waiting to be smudged
That's where I come in
Sadistic director auditions
An eye for talent
You are my grade B actor
Who needs to be broken in
No regrets about ripping you to shreds
So what's it going to be
Useless morals or a come to Jesus moment
Take what's given
You're up on the stage writhing
G sting full of dollars
Someone who wants you HIS way
Forget about want
You can stop already with the broken crap
You're just unused
Still in the shrink wrap
Make-up perfect waiting to be smudged
That's where I come in
Sadistic director auditions
An eye for talent
You are my grade B actor
Who needs to be broken in
No regrets about ripping you to shreds
So what's it going to be
Useless morals or a come to Jesus moment
Take what's given
You're up on the stage writhing
G sting full of dollars
Someone who wants you HIS way

Holding no grudge
You pushed me to the ground and laughed.
I couldn’t make you feel the same way so I used my kindness as a raft.
You used your words like knives in my soul.
I can’t remember the last time it was whole.
You hurt me, but I don’t hold a grudge.
I’ve tried to move on but my heart won’t budge.
I couldn’t make you feel the same way so I used my kindness as a raft.

This room is pitch black
I lie folded on car wreck shoulder
reaching off into morning mouth nothing
I feel the cold steel bedframe huff with disgust
a sea of black widow spiders consume my hand
searching for the cracked semi charging phone
teeth are a lull dull ache in the distance
failures count themselves as proud 3rd place field day ribbons
chests split in tween'
nightmare'd creatures saunter by
picking hors d'oeuvres of my ravaged bone dinner table
this room is pitch black
reaching off into morning mouth nothing
I feel the cold steel bedframe huff with disgust
a sea of black widow spiders consume my hand
searching for the cracked semi charging phone
teeth are a lull dull ache in the distance
failures count themselves as proud 3rd place field day ribbons
chests split in tween'
nightmare'd creatures saunter by
picking hors d'oeuvres of my ravaged bone dinner table
this room is pitch black

Death comes windward through amethyst light
I practice the art of asking
Bronze beauteous distant acre
foremother will dry mine eyes
where blood tears leave like sweat
exhaling encompassed embrace
towards each cadence of existence
I will sing you to the weeping ponds
hear how mine heart writes
cooing echo tinctures rose leaf
Mine eyes dried, foremother
sound acres distant answer
ad infinitum
