SIMPLICITY
My existence is very simple
These four walls...and her.
There is nothing more.
Remove her from this equation
And these walls
Are no longer my abode...
They are my tomb
It is where they will find me
A desperate pen
Clutched in my death palm
And one final page
Torn from my soul...
My final hymn to her.
These four walls...and her.
There is nothing more.
Remove her from this equation
And these walls
Are no longer my abode...
They are my tomb
It is where they will find me
A desperate pen
Clutched in my death palm
And one final page
Torn from my soul...
My final hymn to her.

GODDESS
She is the goddess of my heart
The sole divinity
At the center of my faith
I am but a wayward pilgrim
Worshiping at the altar
Of her body
She holds the stars
In her hands
And wears the moon
As a crown
She moves with serpentine grace
Lithe and supple of limb
In exotic gypsy motion
She climbs the sky
Her hair a flaxen veil
Her skin a silken gown
Her eyes cerulean jewels
Her lips blushing like wine
In her shadow I take shelter
From my raging storms ...
The sole divinity

In exotic gypsy motion

Her hair a flaxen veil
Her skin a silken gown
Her eyes cerulean jewels
Her lips blushing like wine
In her shadow I take shelter
From my raging storms ...

NOEL
Outside my window
The church bells chime The First Noel
Incessantly and monotonously
Their sound is empty and hollow
Like this room
Today I walked
The crippled and cracked streets
Passed the other rooming houses
Similar to mine
But different in their own agonies
And always those bells
Bouncing off the boarded up windows
Refracting off the shattered glass
Hovering over the gutter
Bringing joy to the world
Joy that dies upon the sidewalks edge
Joy that finds no quarter in the rooms of...

DARK
Her darkness touches mine
Like two shadows making love
For the first time
My darkness touches hers
Like two black flames
Slow dancing in perpetual twilight
Our darkness meets
Like two storms mingling
Over the tumult of raging seas
Our darkness reaches out for each other
Like two lovers
Cloaked in splendid night
Darkness reaching out for darkness
Never ending nocturnal embrace
Forever enshrined in the shadow of her face.
Like two shadows making love
For the first time
My darkness touches hers
Like two black flames
Slow dancing in perpetual twilight
Our darkness meets
Like two storms mingling
Over the tumult of raging seas
Our darkness reaches out for each other
Like two lovers
Cloaked in splendid night
Darkness reaching out for darkness
Never ending nocturnal embrace
Forever enshrined in the shadow of her face.

WRECKAGE
Sifting through the wreckage
Of yesterday’s meltdown
Like returning to the scene of a crime
The last of me
Outlined in chalk
Thoughts of her
Still running down my cheeks
Scars on my arms
No hesitation cuts
Each wound precise
Every gash deliberate
Her name
Carved into my chest
Just over the heart
Slashed in phlebotomic shorthand
My vacant eyes
Reflecting her
Searching for her
Reaching for her
Eventually I will stand
Covered in dry blood and dust ...

I need to go out and wreck something...
A car
A bar
A priceless work of art
Something.
I need to go out and destroy someone...
You
Him
Me
Someone.
What will give first?
What will win...
The loneliness or the anger?
What form will my purge take?
Shattered glass
Strewn wreckage
His blood on my hands
A fresh razor to my flesh
So long as
Amidst the chaos of my undoing
There is a single moment of peace
Lasting just long...

Closure
Everyone is seeking closure for something
Everyone is seeking closure somewhere
Countless years in therapy
Looking for closure
Hours spent in church
Praying for closure
Liquor bottles
Pill bottles
Syringes
All overflowing with closure
My closure is in your blood 🩸
I find closure
in your eye
After I pluck it out
Leaving you the other
So you always see me
I find closure
Severing the hands
You dared...

Sleep
Choke on my own blood
As I scream myself to sleep
Smothered by unanswered prayers
And parched desires
Like a murder of crows
My devils circle above me
Awaiting the steaming carrion
Of the remnants of my heart
Bled dry and waiting for her
My sorrows countless
The only ones that shall
Share my bed this night
Assemble and lay their traps for me
As my sequestered soul
Wanders the nightscape
Seeking her out
But finding only the hooks and snares
Set by my conspiracy of demons

The Visitor
Beyond my door
Nothing but dark quiescent
Corridors of silence
Cardboard doors locking in
Each to his own nightmares
Men jerking off to senile fantasies
Lady Luck crouching in the corner
A blushing malignant smile on her lips
Twitching her cunt at sexual miasma
And evaporated prayers
We choke on cigarette smoke
Coughing up long-expired dreams
Onto a sagging mattress
Marked with cigarette burns
Dry cum and stagnant wishes
Sometimes on Saturday nights
Comes the sound of a woman's voice
Visiting somewhere...
Nothing but dark quiescent
Corridors of silence
Cardboard doors locking in
Each to his own nightmares
Men jerking off to senile fantasies
Lady Luck crouching in the corner
A blushing malignant smile on her lips
Twitching her cunt at sexual miasma
And evaporated prayers
We choke on cigarette smoke
Coughing up long-expired dreams
Onto a sagging mattress
Marked with cigarette burns
Dry cum and stagnant wishes
Sometimes on Saturday nights
Comes the sound of a woman's voice
Visiting somewhere...

Walking these streets
My feet stick to the pavement
Wet with blood and cum
The air thick and stagnant
Settling in the lungs like ash
All around are seas of broken glass
And scattered shards of dreams
Children with vacant eyes
Playing at gutter wars
Their miniature armies
Filling the night with screams
Teenage existentials
Nursing junk habits
Prepubescent mothers
Trading food stamps for meth
Beggars with cellphones
Pacing the medians
Pigs in blue getting head
In silent...

Four Walls
These four walls
Cold, hostile
Giving no quarter
Closing in like an angry mob
Coming to terms with the alchemy
Of silent desperation
Four walls
Sweating nicotine
And runaway dreams
Moist with tears
And broken hearts
Pacing the floor
A path well worn
The wreckage of myriad regrets
Falling from my heel
Four walls
And two windows
Looking out at
More walls still
An endless array
Of hope fenced in
Four walls
With eyes in them
The eyes of rats ...
Cold, hostile

Could you...?
Could you love this mean spirit
And give shelter to this
Defector from heaven?
Could you embrace me
When I'm coming undone?
Could you take my hand
As the world ends?
Could you let me caress your scars
And decipher their meaning?
Could you let me kiss your wounds
And their bitter memories?
Could you be the logical conclusion to my dreams?
My only answered prayer?
Could you......?
And give shelter to this
Defector from heaven?
Could you embrace me
When I'm coming undone?
Could you take my hand
As the world ends?
Could you let me caress your scars
And decipher their meaning?
Could you let me kiss your wounds
And their bitter memories?
Could you be the logical conclusion to my dreams?
My only answered prayer?
Could you......?
