Reality is a curse
Will you catch me this time if I fall?
your support has become a hindrance
the last several times, I hit bottom real hard
I'm trying desperately to release the demons
it isn't easy when your neglected without assistance
you've said you loved me and you know that I love you
is it a lie?
i need you now, more then ever before
please, be by my side
we said years back through thick & thin
bonded together we'll always win
the dream is crumbling

please, be by my side
we said years back through thick & thin
bonded together we'll always win
the dream is crumbling
reality is a curse

Temptation breakdown
Warmth melts from rock-sold ice cube

Why do you do that to thyself
I can't really understand why do you do that to thyself, 🤔 for it's not going to change anything that you can't change thyself. FOR sure it's literally just a fix for a moment and then you find thyself, sometimes hurting in pain or be getting thoughts on killing yourself or hurting those who care deeply about you. 🤨 YET you continue to do what you do to thyself, thinking it's gonna help you navigate, through the darkness of the evil forces, that seems to control your thoughts calling you affecting your insight and life. Yet you still believe that it's helping you to cope with...

demon kin
in my depths I drown
the darkness acquainted with my soul glower
it had a child of gentleness in its mix
sewing seeds of kindness and respect
the demons weren't used to this
they were accustomed to commands
I showed them love and they respond
telling me of their fears and worries
teaching me their sacred language and traditions
no one cares about demons
they are fearsome creatures
but they have dreams too
and some don't like torturing humans,
living secondhanded lives
they are an ancient culture
one...

I Bought a quality bottle of bourbon and another of vodka and then I gave up drinking for awhile
I like knowing the booze is there
For those moments when I need to chill out
Everyone has their vices
I got a comfy chair
A weighted whiskey glass
A martini glass that isn't too small
A man like me needs to be prepared
I charge everything on credit cards except booze
Liquor needs to be cash
Brings me back to my humble days
I need that
For those moments when I need to chill out
Everyone has their vices
I got a comfy chair
A weighted whiskey glass
A martini glass that isn't too small
A man like me needs to be prepared
I charge everything on credit cards except booze
Liquor needs to be cash
Brings me back to my humble days
I need that

one too many
hands brace against concrete walls
searchin for somethin solid
in a spinnin world
where streetlights melt
in late november rain
liquored up white lies
slide from a tongue gone numb
drippin like poison
as dawn ticks closer
and memory unravels
the bartender’s face
smears like watercolor
thru the bottom of my glass
measurin out oblivion
in four finger pours
while my phone buzzes
with promises I failed to keep
broken bottle self esteem
catchin glints of moonlight
in parkin lot...

I wonder
Will the government finally give credit to,
The drug they try so hard to hate?
The only thing that gave me happiness,
When they took my kid away.
Will the government finally realize,
That when you isolate,
There is no one to give credit to,
Except the drugs they dearly hate.
Now that I'm doing better,
And friends don't make play dates,
Will the government care for my daughter,
And fully compensate?

Clear Haiku
Crystal clarity
In glass, a pure reflection
Warmth in cold embrace.

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...
