me ...
Picking up the pieces of my heart
Arranging them to fit back
Glue in hand ... wondering
How to fill the widened gaps
Hearing siren song on the breeze
Wondering if it's for me
Trying to fit these damn pieces
Struggling to get back there to what was me
Un-phased un-synced me
Trying to fit inside of the old
The template is off kilter
The matrix has gone cold
The sun is high
But will there be enough heat
In winter's frozen sky
To jumpstart the broken pieces that are still part of me ... ...
Arranging them to fit back

Hearing siren song on the breeze
Wondering if it's for me

Struggling to get back there to what was me
Un-phased un-synced me
Trying to fit inside of the old
The template is off kilter
The matrix has gone cold
The sun is high
But will there be enough heat
In winter's frozen sky
To jumpstart the broken pieces that are still part of me ... ...

anxiety
the flames
draped
over
my folding
darkness,
the tangle
behind
blurring dreams,
pressed
in gleaming
ruins,
these
passing nights,
well worn
in layers
of frailty,
this brittle
climate,
this is
where
the candle
burns brightest
at sunrise.

Augusts Now
It is August now
I sit at my dry desk
with a dry manuscript in my dry hand
wondering
if my words will have a life, a voice, in months to come.
Will they be read?
Or are they only good instead
for kindling?

Just Go Away (My Husband The Zombie)
It wasn't supposed to turn out this way.
A blissful marriage it once had been
Then he was suddenly dead and laying in a casket in the ground.
Now, he's a Zombie of the most gruesome kind
Who doesn't even recognize my face
The accident happened during our trip to the mountains.
Where he slipped and had fallen off a cliff
dying instantly when his body hit
the rocks at the bottom of the cliff.
Now, here he is trying to bust down my front door
I just can't live this nightmare any more
He got inside before I...

If Ever I Should Go...
If ever I was to go...
If I was to lay down and not wake again,
Do not cry for me.
I’ve cried enough for you.
I was miserable here.
I could not escape,
I just wanted it to be quiet.
I do not want you to cry for me,
I love you all.
I was just unwell.
I couldn’t pretend anymore.
I was overwhelmed with my mental health.
I felt like there was no escape or cure.
No cure for despair and low worth.
No cure for not feeling like enough.
No cure for not being able to feel love.
I can’t stand this feeling.
I...
If I was to lay down and not wake again,
Do not cry for me.
I’ve cried enough for you.
I was miserable here.
I could not escape,
I just wanted it to be quiet.
I do not want you to cry for me,
I love you all.
I was just unwell.
I couldn’t pretend anymore.
I was overwhelmed with my mental health.
I felt like there was no escape or cure.
No cure for despair and low worth.
No cure for not feeling like enough.
No cure for not being able to feel love.
I can’t stand this feeling.

Twilight of the Soul
Tonight was in possession of the most
sinister looking sunset.
October chill, shivers my step.
Haunted ominous gray drifting clouds
hover above the dying burnt orange sun.
Now a collapsed firey glow on the horizon.
To mirror dark charcoal thoughts,
like puffs of exhaust from a weary brain.
Roaring flames in my heart from a gasoline of pain.
For some the twilight of the soul has taken its reign.
sinister looking sunset.
October chill, shivers my step.
Haunted ominous gray drifting clouds
hover above the dying burnt orange sun.
Now a collapsed firey glow on the horizon.
To mirror dark charcoal thoughts,
like puffs of exhaust from a weary brain.
Roaring flames in my heart from a gasoline of pain.
For some the twilight of the soul has taken its reign.

Bullets
Faster than the eye, we fly
To the target we travel
So slow it falls
Riddled with our bodies
Drunk again
Pass the ammo
Kicking and holding, over a balcony
Youthful wishes denied
Lower yourself to our level
I never should of
Pass the bullets
Pass the bullets
One in the chamber, possibly more
Into madness, the trigger implores
Read yourself right from the start
Don’t load the gun
Turmoil ensues
Visons repeating
Fading away
Inner anguish
The portal opens ...
To the target we travel
So slow it falls
Riddled with our bodies
Drunk again
Pass the ammo
Kicking and holding, over a balcony
Youthful wishes denied
Lower yourself to our level
I never should of
Pass the bullets
Pass the bullets
One in the chamber, possibly more
Into madness, the trigger implores
Read yourself right from the start
Don’t load the gun
Turmoil ensues
Visons repeating
Fading away
Inner anguish
The portal opens ...

Dream Dive (with reading)
I dreamed
of a deep black lake
The darkness was enticing -
escape from demands,
a reprieve from
burning
brightness
So I dove headlong
into the inky cold,
Luxuriated in
velvet numbness
and blind acceptance
Down I went
Expecting to find the bottom of me,
to come out the other side
whole
healed
But there was no end to the dark.
No redemption down there.
Just grasping zombie hands
pressing my bruises
massaging my fears
...

the railway carriage
is full and I will not stand
for it any more...

The Hanged Man
another body that falls
in psychotic vertigo
bird body that trembles
in a strange frenzy
the unexpected weight
of empty days of dry eyes
no tears no crystals
another body that falls
inanimate and dizzying
gold that covers skin
skin that browns meat
pulled muscle
a falling body
strange bird
uncertain trick
and the body falls
several bodies fall
almost all bodies
in decay
in free fall
ropes around the neck
arcane twelve
body that doesn't fall
no vertigo...
in psychotic vertigo
bird body that trembles
in a strange frenzy
the unexpected weight
of empty days of dry eyes
no tears no crystals
another body that falls
inanimate and dizzying
gold that covers skin
skin that browns meat
pulled muscle
a falling body
strange bird
uncertain trick
and the body falls
several bodies fall
almost all bodies
in decay
in free fall
ropes around the neck
arcane twelve
body that doesn't fall
no vertigo...

WHEN DARKNESS FALL
When darkness fall
Evil crawl out of tombs
Accompanied by his demons.
"Lets go rain terror!" They roar
"Harvest some good souls for coal!"
"Angels are deep asleep right now
Humans are on their own!"
"Aaaaahuuuuuuuuu!" They howl
Beating their chests after every holed.
"Leave the wicked for another night,
The righteous will cost Him more dear!"
Babies,mothers and wonderful fathers...
Causing more pain than most can bear.
When darkness fall
Evil crawl out of tombs
Accompanied...
Evil crawl out of tombs

"Lets go rain terror!" They roar

"Angels are deep asleep right now

"Aaaaahuuuuuuuuu!" They howl

"Leave the wicked for another night,

Causing more pain than most can bear.
When darkness fall
Evil crawl out of tombs
