Hang Girl

My affinity  
For detaching myself  
From any propinquity  
 
Tummy in curdle throws  
Of anxiety  
Of crowd or the touch  
Of something pure..  
 
Came full circle  
In morphine haze  
And daze gone by in euphoric  
Nod  
For hard terrors  
The chance to sleep..  
 
And anger dreams  
Behind violet  
Violent eyes  
Streaked with red rage  
From damage done  
By tourists who paid  
By milligrams  
30 please  
And on my knees  
 
My cock suck prayer  
For first gleam high again  
Dirty Genuflect led  
To no epiphany  
 
Rather led me to...  
The worst of me...  
 
And to half death  
Too cowardly to grab the full noose  
And be done  
I was led to trickle drown...  
 
As Jennifer's opiate wall  
Came fast tumble  
Rumbling down....

Mirror Me

 Mirror  Mirror
on my wall…
Am I soon
to tragedy fall?

For that is what
I hear you know?
From whispering winds,
high and low.

They say the potions
that I oft do make,
shall bring forth death
for evil’s sake!

But “how”, I ask thee,
can such be true?
For pleasured journeys
it takes me too.

Quickly removing
smothering weeds,
and society’s poison
planted in me.

My baggage light.
Inhibitions are few,
as my eyes are blurred
from a cold sharp view.

And when nigh is the time
for a cool wind of change,
I welcome the warmth,
through my cold and numb veins.

For This dungeon I live in,
is filled with cold hate.
And a bed full of thorns,
is where I must lay.

Father can’t protect me.
Mother’s fever is worse.
The wolf with white wool,
warns my potions are cursed.

So Magic Mirror,
upon my wall…
What saith thee,
of my rumored fall?

(the mirror speaks)

Silly girl
upon your chair,
look deep inside
my mirrored stare.

Truth lives inside,
but be thou warned,
with its reflection
fear is born.

Do you see the rose,
in my eyes of red?
Or do you see the tears
from its thorn that I bled?

Potions you own
are feared by those,
who see beauty only
in the sight of the rose.

For even the rose,
lovely as it seems,
has thorns of consequence,
clothed under velvet sheen.

What goes up,
will surely come down.
And you must lose yourself,
if your ever to be found.

The dark lonely night,
needs hope of a new day…
Just as the warm sun
would scald you if it stayed.

For every heart beat,
that shall tearfully end,
a babe cries out in fear,
as precious life begins.

So, yes my dear,
winds whisper truth today.
By the works of your potions,
your life will fade away.

You see, all things good
would not be good without
an equal host of evil
to define its well built house.

You must find in yourself
the peace that you need,
to have no regrets
and live with your deeds.

Never cast your cares
on a mirrored reflection.
And fear not the changes
the winds have detected.

Mother and father
should not be to blame.
The wolf in sheep’s clothing
is not yours to tame.

Potions and spells,
alone are just things.
You dear, are the goodness…
or the evil it brings.

As all things in life
Good or bad shall soon cease.
May the life you have left
Be a beautiful beast.

Fourty seven

I took my own hand
and walked myself into a spiral:
spun out,  in again ..like when my
gay friend had a heart attack
in his fingertip

only worse

Speeder

The school geek, speed freak
Pressures of an 'A plus' teen,
The jock jerk no homework
No need for those amphetamines.
 
Study hard, report card
Parents can be very needy,
If you're tardy no party
Think it's time for something speedy.
 
Getting laid or getting grades?
Gotta focus feeling crabby,
Wars are forming, geo warming
Solve it with a little Addy.
 
Fix my brain, catch the train
Here comes those racing engines,
A Shakespeare play, Hemmingway
Finish homework with a vengeance.
 
Super bright, up all night
Back to school again tomorrow,
Getting wired, feeling tired
Can't keep giving when you borrow.
 
A piece of cake, you're wide awake
Your life is blinking like a flash,
Now on your back, a heart attack
That need for speed leads to a crash.

Detained

LSD and Pink Floyd
Anything to fill a void
 
After work, we leave at dark
On a road trip, we embark
 
Crossing the border in such haste
Without ID, citizen erased
 
Unsure where reality prevails
Experiencing beauty in details
 
Uncontrolled laughter, never known
Outside of self, as if a clone
 
Circling trees on tent flaps
No time at all, seems to lapse
 
Insane delusions of grandeur
Vivid, perfect, full of colour
 
Sounds of music, mesmerising
Riveting, captivating, electrifying
 
Performance finishes with a bow
Show has closed, goodbye for now
 
Departure amid a light streaming
Could not tell, if I was dreaming
 
Then, detained by the gentry
While bound for home at re-entry
