No Tomorrow
you can call it depression
or lack of mental health
falling into addictions
because it’s the only thing that helps
and maybe I have given up
the world has lost its luster
guess I’m just like my father
drinking to forget
or just drinking, waiting for death
smoking till my eyes turn red
and fucking till my nuts hurt
throwing bomb ass parties
with people just as lost
a curvy girl with a mini skirt
can make the pain feel ok
the things she lets me do
has me sick, but I keep doing it
I ask myself ‘is it...

Pretend
My umbrella shields the rain,
my bandaid hides my pain,
the mask hides my expressions,
the pills shield my aggression.
My umbrella broke,
my bandaids soaked,
the mask cracked,
the pills back-lashed,
and once again I am insane.
my bandaid hides my pain,
the mask hides my expressions,
the pills shield my aggression.
My umbrella broke,
my bandaids soaked,
the mask cracked,
the pills back-lashed,
and once again I am insane.

Scourge of the elixir
The scourge of the elixir
The potion of fate
The purge of the fixer
seven seconds too late
Minute by minute
And hour by hour
The salve to be swindled
From the seeds of a flower
Chasing the dragon
from his chalice, we sip
Unsheathing the needle
In search of the trip
The guise of the wired
The skin of their thrones
Their emotions misfire
To cast vie to their bones
Farewell, my reality
Force my mind to a place
Where I’ve really got nothing
In that world there to face
...
The potion of fate

In search of the trip

Force my mind to a place

I'm only a phone call away
There's a ledge
with your name carved into it
I watch as you look back at me
before you step into the free fall
knowing where you're going
I can't follow
It doesn't matter that my name
is etched into the stone history of us
it doesn't matter that I understand
how easy it is to fall into the abyss
it doesn't matter that I tried
to pave a different road for you
with all the blood my soul had to spare
sometimes fate finds us and binds us
and when we wake up like death
lingering at the bottom of the...

sobriety
Sobriety
He stopped drinking and looked remarkable
well, his wife was happy, less so his friends who
didn't see him in the bar and when meeting him
in the street, his manner was awkward, almost
formal, a few words of greeting followed by
silence
He was promoted at work, wore a suit his shoes were polished, and he bought a new car
His wife was proud of the new man he had
become, so was the family on her side
One day, when he didn't come home in time
his wife was worried, and she went looking for
his whereabouts, she didn't...

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...

Where does hope lie
Where does hope lie
In a broken mind
Disheveled room
Shadows absorbing light
Where does hope lie
In forgotten promises
Disappointed loved ones
Left alone at night
Where does hope lie
In unreturned calls
And unanswered knocks
Refusing to fight
Where does hope lie
In a tub of tepid water
Needle on the floor
Searching for another high
Where does hope lie
Water a pinkish hue
Cuts to guarantee
This was the last time
Where does Hope lie
Green glassy eyes ...
In a broken mind
Disheveled room
Shadows absorbing light
Where does hope lie
In forgotten promises
Disappointed loved ones
Left alone at night
Where does hope lie
In unreturned calls
And unanswered knocks
Refusing to fight
Where does hope lie
In a tub of tepid water
Needle on the floor
Searching for another high
Where does hope lie
Water a pinkish hue
Cuts to guarantee
This was the last time
Where does Hope lie
Green glassy eyes ...

Red Red Wine
I kissed my friend's red ruby lip
and vowed we'd never part,
and stroked her neck and took a sip
to warm my cold, cold heart.
I caressed her shoulder all dewy eyed
as on her lip I kiss and kiss,
her smoothness soothed me nigh to cry
such sweetness I had long, long missed.
I'd loved her from my very first
when her spirit suffused through me
such pleasure I thought I would burst
and for a time she set me free...
She was gone during that short dark night
when I woke I cursed her near to dead, ...
and vowed we'd never part,
and stroked her neck and took a sip
to warm my cold, cold heart.
I caressed her shoulder all dewy eyed
as on her lip I kiss and kiss,
her smoothness soothed me nigh to cry
such sweetness I had long, long missed.
I'd loved her from my very first
when her spirit suffused through me
such pleasure I thought I would burst
and for a time she set me free...
She was gone during that short dark night
when I woke I cursed her near to dead, ...

lethal libations
it was an Old Fashioned romance
...with a Spritz & a twist
a Royal Affair of epic proportions
poor Suffering Bastard in his Tuxedo
& the Platinum Blonde draped in scarlet satin
she...slipping into her Spicy Fifty years
flashing Dark & Stormy eyes
with a backdrop of Hurricane skies
him...looking for the Golden Dream
Damn the Weather & its threats
they tangoed...hello being the Last Word said
setting fire to the night like a Flaming Volcano
she...with her Angel Face & lethal Stinger
lured...

Hybrid
I thought I had developed enough experience in life to stand out to circumstances
Gather my strengths and deal with what stood there in front of me
Then there was this hybrid
Alien from another planet
And I looked at myself
Mutilated
Lost for words and actions
Unable to utter a coherent thought
Disorganised
As if I had been under the influence of schitzophrenia.
Gather my strengths and deal with what stood there in front of me
Then there was this hybrid
Alien from another planet
And I looked at myself
Mutilated

Whiskey
Half gone, that
Old No. 7,
Thoughts perking
Toward Heaven,
But mired in hell,
Nearly fully drowned,
Truth to tell:
How it’d always go down
Old No. 7,
Thoughts perking

But mired in hell,
Nearly fully drowned,
