Conundrum
Sabbath follows me to the bathroom
looks at me with half shut eyes
staring in
waiting
a warm weight on my chest
a joyous burden
entranced by candlelight
licks all my lipgloss off
stalks junebugs and super novas
surfs the sunshine without breaking a sweat
a tamed beast
confiding in binary code

PLEASURE THROUGH SUBMISSION
He asks, I submit
I beg
His wish binds faster than cord
I beg
And my will aligns
I beg
Rope is coarse against the skin
I beg
His words are soft on my ear
I beg
Darkness enfolds me
I beg
Sight withdrawn to grant seeing
I beg
To open senses
I beg
I am here at his pleasure
I beg
His touch fulfills my being
I beg
Talk to me through fire
I beg
And in the fall of the whip
I beg
Whisper of soft hope
I beg
In the caress of respite
I beg
Open the eyes of my flesh
I beg
Peace through submission
I beg
And freedom in laying down

Lone Pine
Trees ancient sentinels
guardians standing tall
reminders to time
If a tree falls
in an empty forest
does it make a sound
Sad is the day
when a lone pine dies
as to the sound
trees mourn there own...
silently

“Smelling Freedom with Gods, Goddesses, and Stars”
http://s3.favim.com/orig/40/mountain-sky-stars-Favim.com-338248.jpg
(A Momentary Lapse in Unreality)
And in the long silence,
I saw the lambs
exposed.
Some stayed with the flock,
others smelled freedom,
realizing how fleeting it
truly was,
until the glitch.
I now know
my destiny,
I’m leaving soon
to run with
another herd,
somewhere
beyond the crystal sun,
high in the mountains,
where no one can touch me,
but
the gods,
the goddesses
and
the stars.

Ghosts of Poems Lost
The words all had their importance
their purpose was met perfectly, at the time
emotion imprinted in every space
painful releases and realizations
seared deep into the letters
A cathartic experience with each line
there's a constant barrage of
something to write
and far too much to read
always another poem to bleed
a demon to feed
moments to relive
a tale to weave
I cannot grieve the records of sentiment
lost, but they existed
each expulsion left me changed
I don't know the woman who wrote yesterday
except that I once was her
tomorrow will again find me lost
as parts of me evolve
leaving only my ghost, in print
spelling out the reasons for who I am
I greet myself anew, pen in hand

Twisted thoughts in a broken mind,
Blood running down a damaged leg and its mine,
Here I go again it's gotta be the hundredth time,
The darkest red I've ever seen, don't look this is beyond obscene,
Who can say what causes me to do this,
Absolutely no reason I'm not even pissed,
Self mutilation makes me feel alive,
At any given time I just want to die,
I've pushed away my parents and friends,
One of these times I'll go a little to far and reach my end,
I think No one will even miss me, laying down in the coffin and both parents kiss me,
Goodbye sweet world I can't say I'll miss you,
Even after everything we've been threw,
I'm poison to everyone I meet,
I'm a dead beat nobody, why would anybody want me here,
I used to care and people held me dear,
Close to there hearts,
Then I saw ulterior motives and now I have mutilated body parts,
I find the site of my blood erotic,
What can I say, I'm Simply Psychotic,
Perhaps one day,
I'll find the one, and she will be my reason to stay.

"Nothing Matters"
Felt a snowflake
melt in front of
universal mind.
Watched the day break
dusk defy your
summer dreams in kind.
Filtered heartthrob
without sunrise,
everything’s okay.
Nothing matters
just keep moving,
night might turn to day.

*Lost New-Times*
Can't tell you the way I told you before
Because each time is different
All the things I felt As I wrote on the floor
Are things that now go missing
But if You listen
I still make this content
My times are lost
But I know they do not lie somewhere in dusty lent
I'd Like to think they are somewhere, where they can be found
But I'm a lil Un-realistic
I Miss the times That I can never read again
Times I can never see again because there's no copies
There's nothing I Can do so I'll start right here in this lobby
Start by writing new beginnings
This time i'll make sure you and I can always read the original endings
Can't tell you the way I told you before
Because each time is different
All the things I felt As I wrote on the floor
Are things that now go missing
But if You listen
I still make this content
My times are lost
But I know they do not lie somewhere in dusty lent
I'd Like to think they are somewhere, where they can be found
But I'm a lil Un-realistic
I Miss the times That I can never read again
Times I can never see again because there's no copies
There's nothing I Can do so I'll start right here in this lobby
Start by writing new beginnings
This time i'll make sure you and I can always read the original endings
today
i saw myself in the sun today
it burned my eyes
its warmth washed over my skin
it burned me to a crisp
i saw myself in the clouds today
they filled me full of grey
gracefully floating across the sky
they rained down upon my face
i heard myself in the wind today
i was deafened by the screams
a gentle voice flowing free
the sound was deafening
i saw myself in my own shadow today
a monster did appear
bouncing carelessly across the ground
stalking me with fear
i saw myself in the shade today
huddled under a tree
trying to cool from the summer sun
my body began to freeze
i saw myself in the sun today
its warmth washed over my skin
and after the clouds floated by
i saw the sun again
with blinded eyes i tried to see
my scorched and blackened skin
within my heart the growing grey
as the storm clouds came rolling in
i heard myself in the wind today
my own voice comforting
on the ground my shadow bounced
and kept me company
scared to hear the sounds so clear
my own voice deafens me
the monster lurks quite content
where others cannot see
i saw myself in the shade today
protected from the sun
tried to hide under a tree
away from everyone
i saw myself in the sun today
it burned my eyes
its warmth washed over my skin
it burned me to a crisp
i saw myself in the clouds today
they filled me full of grey
gracefully floating across the sky
they rained down upon my face
i heard myself in the wind today
i was deafened by the screams
a gentle voice flowing free
the sound was deafening
i saw myself in my own shadow today
a monster did appear
bouncing carelessly across the ground
stalking me with fear
i saw myself in the shade today
huddled under a tree
trying to cool from the summer sun
my body began to freeze
i saw myself in the sun today
its warmth washed over my skin
and after the clouds floated by
i saw the sun again
with blinded eyes i tried to see

within my heart the growing grey
as the storm clouds came rolling in

on the ground my shadow bounced
and kept me company
scared to hear the sounds so clear
my own voice deafens me
the monster lurks quite content
where others cannot see
i saw myself in the shade today
protected from the sun
tried to hide under a tree
away from everyone
