Under the gun(again)
Seemingly fixed, tied to nothing
Nanoseconds
Keep getting smaller
Quickening the experience
Out, bodies blue
Fight for another gasp
you can do it
stay, that's it
BREATHE
One last look from above
Naked flesh suit
To stay or to go?
Calm awaits either way
Nanoseconds
Keep getting smaller
Quickening the experience
Out, bodies blue
Fight for another gasp
you can do it
stay, that's it
BREATHE

Kisses to floor
Face down once again
From picking sores that
Well perhaps left unsaid
Definitely no need for waiting to bleed
Even those hungry ghost need a feed
Once every full moon at least
Seems that way finder of empty wine
Bottles the feeling deep in time
Of somber beating heart
The alcohol breaks the ice
Lubricants for those social misanthrope
Malcontent wanna give a fuck
Sure why not could be fun
Or atomically methodically single minded
Self destruction anyone
Cold shivers violent shakes
Company...

Sisyphus The Dung Beetle
His sympathetic nature found between
Shit and syphilis
Yet still he endured
In a circular fashion

Dissociative Locomotive
how did one end up on this ride?
where is the mask in which you hide?
little droplet, futile to fight the tide
rather than, follow that which you know
the acorn does an oak grow
enduring, sunrise to sunsets testing time
if this was a swing on a branch, fine
quenched parched lips with some red wine
before long, benzo concoctions distort time
to some level or another
when did tomorrow fade away today
yesterday some bitter sweet flash in pan memory
then..... for what its worth
when all...

Black tears in rain
All that remains
The rubble and metaphorical blood stains
Silent screams echo down the halls
Suffering minds walls, visage cracked
Seven deuce dealt when the decks stacked
Hyper aware senses on edge awaiting the attack
floating through a super massive black hole
Just the thought has certain appeal
Giving a blind man a spoon to feel
Broken crippled bent
A little oblivion heaven sent
Who wants control when riding the wave?
The rubble and metaphorical blood stains
Silent screams echo down the halls
Suffering minds walls, visage cracked
Seven deuce dealt when the decks stacked
Hyper aware senses on edge awaiting the attack
floating through a super massive black hole
Just the thought has certain appeal
Giving a blind man a spoon to feel
Broken crippled bent
A little oblivion heaven sent
Who wants control when riding the wave?

When I'm crying alone
Stoic tears in an empty coffee mug
Means little to nothing
When she broke me, it sure as fuck
wasn't gently
She hooked me to the gills
Dangerous enchanting eyes
Quickly discarded
Tattered raggered play thing
Get high a little while, pick yourself up
when you hit the floor
Teaspoon cement
Harden the fuck up cunt
Kleenex for the soft cock
Nowhere to be seen
Means little to nothing
When she broke me, it sure as fuck
wasn't gently
She hooked me to the gills
Dangerous enchanting eyes
Quickly discarded
Tattered raggered play thing
Get high a little while, pick yourself up
when you hit the floor
Teaspoon cement
Harden the fuck up cunt
Kleenex for the soft cock
Nowhere to be seen

Not even second class
A fucking white male
So privileged
Far right misogynistic
Extreme family man
Nazi ad infinitum expelleleosism
The solution to this white stain?
Replacement
Or total annihilation?

Looking a little shaky there ?
What makes you think that
Is it the way the tumbler of whiskey is held
Soft rhythmic clinking of ice
Perhaps the passing sirens
Accompanying a scarcely visible trembling knee
Dead give away then when a deafening thudding
From a passing backfired car
Sends chills and sweat even for a sec
The lights warm spark provides brief comfort
Another coffin nail
Adorns the overflowing offering bowl
Is it the way the tumbler of whiskey is held
Soft rhythmic clinking of ice
Perhaps the passing sirens
Accompanying a scarcely visible trembling knee
Dead give away then when a deafening thudding
From a passing backfired car
Sends chills and sweat even for a sec
The lights warm spark provides brief comfort
Another coffin nail
Adorns the overflowing offering bowl

Double Vision
Crystal pistol pressed against salty lips
Another round chambered we'll on oblivions way
Too numb to open those eyes
pick that discarded carcass off the floor
Seemed like a good idea pills and booze
Navigating pains threshold
Got that card fully stamped
The world can fucking burn
Why bother pullng up from that downward spin
Life inevitably ends so they say
Another round chambered we'll on oblivions way
Too numb to open those eyes
pick that discarded carcass off the floor
Seemed like a good idea pills and booze
Navigating pains threshold
Got that card fully stamped
The world can fucking burn
Why bother pullng up from that downward spin
Life inevitably ends so they say

Titled cliche
Dancing in the moonlight
Done to death
Dancing in the moonlight however
Is something one should do at least twice
Dancing in the moonlight
Nekkid on the beach on a hot summer night
Dancing in the moonlight
Pirouette about the falling snow
Done to death
Dancing in the moonlight however
Is something one should do at least twice
Dancing in the moonlight
Nekkid on the beach on a hot summer night
Dancing in the moonlight
Pirouette about the falling snow

DRUGS POEM

The power of drugs
The power of drugs
is a curious thing
Send one to the gutter
Expand another's brain
Turn a lion meek
A mouse a raging lunatic
You can grow
Or create your own
Use a credit card to ride the dealers train
But it might just change your life
That's the power of drugs
Legally a doctor can alter the mind
Or a brewery internally pickle thee
Nicotine chewing gum
Legitimate heroin just a kinder surprise
You can have them prescribed
Or on a shelf in glass bottles
Use...
