Ink Void
Guitar cries cut
through my heart
take me where
i need to be
deep inside
in the core
where the
pain resides
uncomfortably
God, i'm tired
can't even write
i close my eyes
surrender my body
into the abyss of night

Wilderness
Lost in the dark
torn apart by
razor sharp
allegations
they put the
blame on me?
pointing fingers
make me cringe
inside it rages
sick attacks
mental wars
build my walls
bowed my head
closed my eyes
swallowed it
lethal mind
fetal position
dying to finally
find my way home

Kill the Pain
surrendered to
the elements
earth below
storms above
i lay, i pray
Kill the pain
reign over me
rain through me
cleanse this body
heal my bones
cold as stone
Kill the pain
clouds release
soul breaks free
surrendered to
the elements
i embrace the
purging power of
the cold october rain

Yasmine
in her mind she
dances through
stories pages
unwritten
words
unspoken
amber autums
whispering trees
mystic ley lines
maple leaves
tangerine
sunrises
silver linings
tiding the ebbs
& flows of life
She’s prose
unread a tale
untold one day
she’ll write her own
dances through
stories pages
unwritten
words
unspoken
amber autums
whispering trees
mystic ley lines
maple leaves
tangerine
sunrises
silver linings
tiding the ebbs
& flows of life
She’s prose
unread a tale
untold one day
she’ll write her own

My Mistress
can’t let her go
my painkiller
void filler
comforter
& destroyer
food controller
think about her
day and night
addictive bitch
wanna break free
but she won’t let go
Why would she?
for she is me
the need to
control took
control over me
got me under a spell
my painkiller
void filler
comforter
& destroyer
food controller
think about her
day and night
addictive bitch
wanna break free
but she won’t let go
Why would she?
for she is me
the need to
control took
control over me
got me under a spell

Dearest
i dream of you
in hues of azure
dream of erasing
the winterblues
with strokes
of hope
in our hands
a palette of
promises
shades of
us, waiting
to be painted
turning the dark
into a work of art
blending blues
on astral canvas
fusing in azure
if and when
i promise this
i will call you muse
in hues of azure
dream of erasing
the winterblues
with strokes
of hope
in our hands
a palette of
promises
shades of
us, waiting
to be painted
turning the dark
into a work of art
blending blues
on astral canvas
fusing in azure
if and when
i promise this
i will call you muse

_Untitled_
wars fill the news
the world’s in pain
what can we do
i don’t have
a vote, not
even a voice
i turn off the tv
cook dinner
light a candle
cherish the fact
i have water
and shelter
Think of the
ones who don’t
*for World Peace Day

9/11
5 years
have
passed
since every
thing became
meaningless
9/12
we fought
so hard
you and i
though the
end became
inevitable
9/13
flashbacks
of once you
in my arms
so lively
so sweet
tears
blur
my eyes
my heart
can’t breathe
9/14
stone in my
stomach

Salt of Life
still remember
the day i arrived
silenced bird with
disfigured wings
insecure about
everything but
willing to evolve
you came my way
spoke of sound
enjambment
onomatopoeia
rhythm and flow
showed me how
to cut & prune
paved the way
to better writes
but the thing that
inspires me most is
your brutal honesty
and steadfastness
to not withhold

Lost in Her
slowly i slide
the tips of
my fingers
along her
svelte neck
my touch
creating
heavenly
vibrations
giving way
to euphoric
sensations
she never
ceases to

every night
we intertwine
giving birth
to lullabies
redefining

Deliver Me
the signs of
self destruction
start to show
it takes a toll
on body & soul
skin & bones
it came back
way too strong
despite fear
self doubt
and shame
the need to
deliver this
fragile frame
steadily grows
to feel safe
and small
be able to
finally let go
of control
to surrender
my mind to
reliable hands
to feel free
finding peace
in restraints
healing in pain ...

Loving you was like going to war
i never came back the same
- Warsan Shire -
His loving words
still warm me
his altered
voice still
haunts me
“you give your
life a 7 out of 10
can’t you see it’s
just worth a 3?”
my dignity
demolished
& deleted
my self
esteem
shattered
to p i e c e s.
apologies passion
addictive attraction
insane satisfaction
crazy connection
Gaslighting
