the virtual psychiatrist
greets me from her well-appointed living room
i don't like her on sight
but i keep an open mind
five minutes into the appointment
she asks about my sleep
five hours a night
sometimes three
when Fitbit shows me a six
it's cause for celebration
that's your problem
she states bluntly
nothing is going to get better
until you sleep seven hours a night
seven!
that happens about twice a year
i know she's right
honed right in on it
i like her better
i can't...

Drink my blood... Again...
You are my red-hot vein, pierced through and through,
Subduing me in your voluptuous sins
You are the ban of the great bloody bunch,
You are my impudent and violent exciting fear
You are a drug running through closed veins,
You are the line beyond which I fall up
And in flight, I will wear wings with you,
And over the abyss I will soar like a bat
You tied my thoughts, stole my flesh,
Drank the blood, you give an unthinkable high
And managed to inject me into a storm with silence,
Begins to break my heart without a dose ...
Subduing me in your voluptuous sins
You are the ban of the great bloody bunch,
You are my impudent and violent exciting fear
You are a drug running through closed veins,
You are the line beyond which I fall up
And in flight, I will wear wings with you,
And over the abyss I will soar like a bat
You tied my thoughts, stole my flesh,
Drank the blood, you give an unthinkable high
And managed to inject me into a storm with silence,
Begins to break my heart without a dose ...

Dream pills
I was forced to communicate speaking in mandarin
Geez!..
I had a lunch of two slices of tangerine
Freeze!..
They found me so cunning I got posted to the house Slytherin!
Walk and roam around craving for my dream pills
They make me engage in such sudden trips
Faraway no someone nor bothering
No enmity nor any envy
Spilling the beans where I use so many means
Makes your hopes swells above the rim
And where I only get closer to my dreams
All those pretty things leave me wondering
Take it as though Alice in the land...

Too Late
The screams come,
mothers and fathers
brothers and sisters
sons and daughters
friends and neighbors
another soul lost
another lifeless body
another one gone
oxy,percs,vicodin
or The Big H
a sea of opioids
so easy to drown,
a scream within
a scream for help
a scream not heard
until the end.

Crackman
Vomit stains in the front-shit stains in the back
His everyday soul mission in life is smoking crack,
“His superhuman abilities from crack are uncharacteristically unique
Giving him the worldwide nickname ‘Smoke Daddy the Super Freak’,
“He has the telepathic power to eliminate soap and water on the spot
Forever remaining funky with also the ability to transform any substance into crack rock,
“His slightest touch will cause anyone to become a crack addict
Having them constantly scratching and going to the extremes to support their habit,...

Pain
Oh so many of them
She wears her colors
The colors spill
when she reaches for them
They are not pretty
only she thinks they are
Only she understands
how this all goes down
They all tell a story
and so it begins
It goes down cheerfully, painfully
like a razor, covered in a rainbow
Red is for her anger
for those that have hurt her deeply
Black is the (for) color of her soul
created by those that werent worthy
Yellow is the color of her smile
only...
She wears her colors
The colors spill
when she reaches for them
They are not pretty
only she thinks they are
Only she understands
how this all goes down
They all tell a story
and so it begins
It goes down cheerfully, painfully
like a razor, covered in a rainbow
Red is for her anger
for those that have hurt her deeply
Black is the (for) color of her soul
created by those that werent worthy

I tried to hide my colorful addiction
In the comfort of my brownstone
My silent obsession lay bare in front of me, craving the color of the newest rendition
Rocking in my bed, leg twitching, waiting for the crack of dawn
Willing the need for the hunger to be gone
Metamorphosing from a sleepy head
Once I rose from my Queen Size bed
A full blown sultry diva to welcome the calling of the birds’ morning song
Panting in...

post brexit
I miss the Polish shops and the Polish woman in our local Costa who’d serve us coffee with compassion, but who is no longer here. I couldn’t afford the biscuits, but seeing I had little money she’d say, just take one, my dear

I Can Make You Feel Good
You like that dont you
"Yes I think I do"
There's no one else here except me and you
I can make you feel good
You realize don't you, no one cares but me
I'm the only one that can really see
The fear, the pain, that you endure everyday
If you let me I can make them go away
Just allow me once to be your friend
All rips and tears I will mend
Overeating or afraid of food
Just lie with me, I can make you feel good
Abuse, I'll end of any kind
With a little time I'll heal your mind
Take off everything and get...

here we go again
You use ideas as weapons
try and make me a villain
in your story
where I'm not
and never have been
the bad guy
You act like boundaries
is a dirty word
when you just want a life
without consequences
I understand that your
flight or flight response
is to turn me into a bitch
so you can be the martyr
but no one is looking
to burn you at the stake
and turning your trauma on me
won't heal the wounds
within either of us
I won't break myself
so you can kill...

Chasing the Dragon
filtered hues of rainbow
filled the fantastic landscape
where wishes thought of, lived
during sleepless nights
with the colours of distant
memories filled the space
of his meandering dreams
he surfed on shiny surface
he didn't want to wake up
to a drab existence
picking meagre coins
that jingle in his pocket
in tandem with his dripping sweat
listening to old songs
from an ancient radio
plaintive songs of lost love
he went home to sleep
daily, chasing the dragon
knowing he was trapped
in...
