Sinister Mind
Outside in the distance a black cat moans
Underneath a blistered sky the stars revolt
Lost in the wilderness while casting stones
Testing fate on the edge of a lightning-bolt
Strangers gather around the mystic stream
In need of quenching some forgotten thirst
Wandering across miles guided by a dream
Only to realize the journey has been cursed
Death will consume them all before sunrise
Silently a creature approaches from behind
Overwhelmed taken completely by surprise
Falling victim to a madman’s sinister mind
Underneath a blistered sky the stars revolt
Lost in the wilderness while casting stones
Testing fate on the edge of a lightning-bolt
Strangers gather around the mystic stream
In need of quenching some forgotten thirst
Wandering across miles guided by a dream
Only to realize the journey has been cursed
Death will consume them all before sunrise
Silently a creature approaches from behind
Overwhelmed taken completely by surprise
Falling victim to a madman’s sinister mind

Abused
She was on her way home from a friend's house
A man raped her in the parking lot of her apartment building
30 feet from the entrance
At first she begged to let her go
He punched her, broke the left half of her jaw
She stopped resisting
It was better to just get it over with and hope that he didn't kill her
All the time he was raping her she could feel it
She didn't black out
She could feel her tearing her up inside
She tried to relax so it wouldn't hurt as much
Her jaw made bright blue sparks flash in front of her eyes every time he...

lunatic
It's an overwhelming feeling to twitch with rage
a situation occurs, and I get a lunatic tick in my eye
darkly inviting and oddly charming is my madness
ushering you closer in
Your instincts say to stay away, but you want a better look
swaying in the breeze in tempo with the offbeat darkness
macabre spectacle raving on
disaster in a glance until I graze your skin
Then you start to wonder
your ardor is rising along with the temperature in the room
That's when you feel the otherworldly vibe I'm putting out

He left this body here for you
He left me
dressed
in black,
hands bound,
blindfolded,
so that I
couldn’t
reach for him
couldn’t look for him;
so that when my
spine crumbled
all I could do was
whisper
‘don’t’ as I
heard the door
pull shut.
He left
with cruel
words wrapped
in kindness
He told me to
find another
playmate
...

Not suffering alone (PTSD)
When we are under a heavy load of stress, it will take a more deeper hold upon the mind and soul, sometimes taking you where you've been and gone through this cycle of life. For sure we sometimes, have to reevaluate our own personal thoughts, on a time ⌚ in our lives that the damage has, already been done. Mentally and physically and emotionally, draining us slowly as it begins to take us back in time. When we were in a a foreign country fighting in war zone, fighting in a war zone that is not our war to be fighting for the freedom of it's own people's. YET still there is a down side,...

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...

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
Favorite expression:

The Last Remains
that night we had an ugly fight
I screamed
With a guttural rage trying to make my voice box explode
All the anger caged up was trying to escape
Screaming like a demon throwing up
Until I couldn’t scream anymore
I felt self-loathing but held it against the world
I wanted to watch everything burn
I wanted to see the look in her eyes
While the barrel went in my mouth
Right before the bullet went through my brain
My tendencies were the goriest of the gore
I wanted to scar others for life
That’s how much I hated myself ...
I screamed

Until I couldn’t scream anymore
I felt self-loathing but held it against the world
I wanted to watch everything burn
I wanted to see the look in her eyes
While the barrel went in my mouth
Right before the bullet went through my brain
My tendencies were the goriest of the gore
I wanted to scar others for life
That’s how much I hated myself ...

Dead Inside
to say i'm utterly
devastated is an
understatement
i feel crushed
The day after
i saw our home
will be closing
its doors i was
told Two of my
supportworkers
will have to stop
due to protocols
and regulations
the government
who Wants more
money & power
they always do
it means i'll lose
3/4 of my support
system including
the deep site my
lifeline & you guys
everything familiar
feels like i'm walking
on...

10 COMMANDMENTS FOR B&D PARTICIPANTS
I had heard of the
10 Commandments
given by Moses,
But never the
10 Commandments
for B&D practitioners,
which was on a card
given to me by a lady dressed
in black with heavy makeup
I met while browsing in
the B&D section in a bookstore.
The list started with the
advice that abuse, harm,
or physical injury must never
be the objective or tolerated.
The message was addressed
to a Dom or potential Dom.
THE LIST:
1. Thou shall not cause actual injury
2. Thou shall pre-agree to the limits ...

The End
When it comes, it doesn't march alone.
It surrounds you, inside and out,
an unseen and powerful force.
There is nowhere to hide, because
the enemy is yourself.
Who could imagine
one's own mind
bent on self destruction.
For what purpose?
If there's an epiphany to come
I'm still waiting
If there's madness to come
I'm still waiting
If there's death to come
I'm still waiting.
So
I will muster all that I have,
to stare down this interloper,
with courage, calmness ...
