For Mira
It’s a funeral. It’s a loss. That’s why there are no words.
There’s nothing documented between
Aardvark
And
Zyzzyva
That can fill the void
Of you
In my life,
Nor frame
My utter
Devastation
Nothing
That will unwound you, but
The day is long and
Boring, so
I fucking dance,
Kick up my
Heels,
Amidst
The dim
Procession
I fuck stupid
I, stupid fuck
I, Exilis
I fuck things up
Hey,...

AWAKENING OF THE HEART
From silent thoughts to memories of love had and love lost to the pain that dwells deep within the mere core of ones heart, pulling one deeper into the abyss of darkness were there is no light to see, which only leaves behind the dimless that once were lights through the darken night of what use to be your dreams.
But yet you submerge your true self deeper into the abyss behind lock doors...
But yet you submerge your true self deeper into the abyss behind lock doors...

Sipping on this earl grey I come to an epiphany
Were you really meant for me?
Were you meant for me or just one of those leaves on my tree I Asxylum (asylum/xylum)
Gave you a sense of a new taste of living without intervention
Faulty of me cause those doors I decided to pry em
Such a beautiful leaf with bipolar symmetry, which were your true intentions?
Veins filled with words you fed me you knew how to Phloem (/flow em)
Yet you kept your guards cause this isn't the conditions you tend to grow in

The Ways of a Black Heart
( prose poetry )
Why have you cowered for so long? Leniency reigned through his tender years, it’s all he’s ever known, you can’t blame him.
Yet now you call upon an army, to bring reason down to bear, and also raise up, to wake up! But it’s not meant to happen that way and that’s why it never does. A half-hearted intervention.
You and his father think that outsiders alone will and should pick up your mess? To lay down the law to a boy who you’ve instilled in him a sense of privilege - of entitlement?
Who does that and still tells...

Please open up your heart
That look you had in your eyes has faded.
When I touch your body it's like I never did.
I know I was with the shit.
I didn't know when to quit but I should have never started.
Now I am trying to piece back your heart and mind to get to your body.
I know you are so far away that it's something I don't need my eyes to see.
I thought I just wanted you until I touched you and it wasn't the same now it's a need.
I know the distance we have grown apart is because I planted the seed.
Now I want to feel your lips on mine.
Wet like a raindrop in the...

Hindsight Is Razor-Sharp
alone today,
it’s my own fault
gaining the kind of clarity
only loss can bring;
hindsight is razor-sharp
clocking in at 20/15
dysfunction is a greedy bitch,
her bedside manner
left you speechless;
for what it’s worth
she left me without words
to reassure you;
my own dis-ease wanted
center stage,
and I selfishly gave it
to her, every time;
new to real love,
it’s my fault
and you should know
that I know,
not that you don’t already...

I RATHER BE ON MY OWN
How do you know when love is real and not fake for nowadays actions speakes volumes louder than words, for everyone seems to be looking for a place to lay up and stay, with no commitment nor consistency nor commununications of honor nor respect, damn hell where is the love not even a pay check just your words that your working on it but yet there is nothing not even an daily grind to pay your ends of support for US.
For you...
For you...

AS A MAN AND WE DO CRY
Here I be a man of my own trails and tribulations through lifes ups and downs with its twisted curves and turns even those moments, that rediscovering thyself through my inner deepness of my weakness as as well as my strength deep within me, which became my mere courage to be able to withstand the weight of the life I was dealed from birth to learn early on to defend thyself.
But just like every...

Wrist Bones
( prose poetry )
I can still recall people in a family of previous generations, but who had lived beyond the usual sum of years as was always shown from statistics in encyclopedias seen in everyone’s home, purchased from door-to-door salesmen, and paid for on a monthly installment plan.
I was born towards the end of life for many of the story-tellers in the family who had permanently enriched my imagination since the first memories: of sitting on a large, oval multicolored rug hand-braided by monks in the...

Dear Kevin
I wrote you many times over
just to scrap it
something just wasn't right
you were always on my mind and heart
in my own way I have love for you
I keep you in my prayers
this may be too real but it's how I feel
you and me had an understanding
you knew my greed and accepted me
the hungry part of me that never got enough
it drove me, it rode me
it will always be there that hunger
I can't let it cost me my mind
I know the thrill of the game
I played my part and paid my dues
so have you
...

Even In The Darkness
In the haze of birth,..we are not born to love,...we are subjected to it. If you are lucky and hopefully you are...the subjection of unconditional love by your parents upon you will be the greatest love of all….sadly, on the other side of the coin it will be the love you will waste, perhaps unintentionally...and then miss the most.
We grow and wander through all of love's pitfalls,...one of them being the claim that we love….when in fact we do not. We only wish we were in love, so much...that we convince ourselves of something that does not exist! We convince ourselves those we...

For The Love Of A God
my demons have been relentless
they smell my weakness
they hunt me in dream-time
I know who they are
I know each one intimately
they are the peoples of my star of origins
I am a mere traveler of the universe
they are powerful but cruel
they see no beauty in weakness
their will is that I would return home
I'm not the tyrant I once was
I've evolved deep feelings for the species known as humanity
once I tasted tears but never sadness
I drank the pain of humans as my sustenance
I have denounced my throne
I...
