Heart Attacked

regret shame sorrow grief piled mid-sternum
weight like a seated elephant  threesome

inspiration impossible
no longer invulnerable

light dimming room blurring
strange people surrounding

voices muffled
disembodied

oaken
coffin

numb

Going Stir Crazy

 
For five months I have been working from home
I shaved my head now I don’t need a comb

But I’m still going stir crazy
Some days are a little hazy

Like I’m losing my mind
Or I’m falling behind

On quarantine
I use this screen

Falling Stars

Things not as seemed; too many deferred dreams    
Those on t.v. screens, held in high esteem  
   
Deemed King; Team money, fame & love    
More so if your hues like a dove's    
   
Knees above backs of necks    
Melanin hits the decks    
   
Rejects we are    
Dimming our stars    
   
Won't cease  
No peace    
   
Scream

Seen

 
Angelic lips glow; a shimmering pout  
drips coral softness from a perfect mouth  
 
Someone walking switched to standing,  
and a starving stare is landing  
 
there, lighting a whisper  
where the want has gripped her --
 
purest cruel call  
of want pours all  

cheapest
secrets
 
out.

Sit on my knee and have a sweet

The evil breeds behind an innocent smile
Intention to defile a pretty child

Be a friend and gain their trust
To fiddle each and not be sussed

Perverse in hidden glee
He fornicates for free

 Dirty old perv
Dishing out hurt

 World to
 Show no

  Heed

Internal Direction (Wretch of the Undercroft)

There's a punishing beast inside my head
Troubling me to never-ending dread

The only time it seems to pause
Is when extending sharpened clause

i am the one to blame
i am the one who aims

To kill it off
Needs just a notch

Hello
Arrow

Dead
