Anxiety (Evil)
It takes them one by one.
It whispers in their ears.
It tells them they're not good enough and plays upon their fears.
It keeps them up at night,
And creeps into their dreams.
It finds their weakest points
And it breaks them at the seams.
It goes by many names.
It wears so many faces.
It plays it's wicked games
To lead them to the darkest places.
And when it's got them where it wants
It creeps into their virgin minds,
Corrupting every thought, leaving their empty shells behind.

Fade to ...
The mind is a funny thing
Able to accept and process data
As cold as the darkness of space
Neutrally spewing unwanted advice
The Soul is more resilient
Older and wiser it often just sits back and observes
Taking in the important bits
Leaving the mundane behind
The heart ...
Therein lies the monkey wrench
The pulsing little beast of
Often fickle nature and contradictory stance
That emotion filled
Nerve regulated
Subversive little punk
That dares to defy all

Start to Finish
The day you were born I gave birth to love.
The day you died love exploded into the universe and you were everything, everywhere!
I am never without you.
The day you died love exploded into the universe and you were everything, everywhere!
I am never without you.

Señor Tequila
What do you want, girl?"
It was a devil's reject road block full of bullets and blood,
dented cars and endings too long in the making. A lack of
control and the wheel goes spinning onto a "SOLD" sign
and arched brick porch destined to be your new address.
I could no more write this poem than I could speak back
then because I was tired of riding in back seats of convenience
store bags with finger-print glass and brothers screaming to a
hay-fevered radio on a floorboard of trash.
"Talk to me, girl."...

Bright Bleed for You
I’m Falling. . .
I’ve Fallen before this
and it’s been a slow death
towards obsessive red.
The taste of the smooth blade doesn’t miss
thoughts of bright;
Yet (You) pulled me into dark
How Bright do You need it to be
before You let me in?
I have watched You online
IRL – day and night!
You need to KNOW. . .
I will bleed out for You
if You will let me in.
One slit small on upper inside lip
our lips pressed and You will sip
and suck
my life force
from me
to You…

Hold Me Please For One More Day.
If I gave my heart to you,
Could you make it one from two?
And if I held you near, in pain
Could you shield me from the rain?
I live my life within your heart
Where golden drops of sunshine start
And every day without you near
Reveals a blue, despondent tear
What is black and what is white?
And is it even worth the fight?
Night's another shade of blue
When living with a heart this true
Walking on an emerald pass
Immune to touch from weathered glass
All alone with thoughts of you
With...

Eyes closed
Willing our desire
We belong
To each other
In this gentle
Darkness, we belong
Your eyes brushing over me
I long for you to
Sooth that sadness
That froze my heart
Raging seas
Of memories and pain
Memories engraved
In blood in our souls
We belong
To each other
In this gentle
Darkness, we belong

Appetite
I try to keep her placated
Money, jewels and foreign lands
She concedes that I am quite enough
To feed her growing appetite
She prefers to eat me fried
Dine on my breaded, steaming flesh
Claims that I am a man of taste
But still adds another dash of salt
She enjoys my remarks as she samples
Hears my assertions from the plate
Then swallows me, every scrap
And adores the succulent flavor
My nutrients course through her blood
And nourish her, my sweet treasure
She is convinced that she will thrive
And so...

The Soul Collector
Don't close your eyes so fast
He hears your heart beating
Peacefully asleep at last
He'll kill you while you're dreaming
Blood is what he craves
When he bites it'll be quick
He'll even put you in a grave
He's dark and very sick
He likes to choose special ones
The ones that are easy prey
No need for knives or guns
He kills with no delays
When he bites a frenzy starts
He cannot stop in any way
No more beating heart
No need to obey
He'll drain your blood
Throws you in a...

A Murder from the victim’s perspective
A Murder from the victim’s perspective
I ran.
Not knowing what else to do
There was so much blood on my hands
It was mine
The kitchen knife
Caught in my chest
Guilt
Consumed by
Fear
I was heightened by
Adrenaline
But running on
Wasn’t enough
While trying to stay calm,
Losing control
It was me that would end up
Dead. Because
He was
In front of me
The whole time
It was too late
Trapped
I found myself
Locked in chains
My fate was
Death.
