Rhonda
For Rhonda, my Mother ...whom left this earth by force of
her own hand .....Or so they say.
Rhonda....sweet sweet Rhonda
the world has hurt you so.....so...
Deeply do I feel your wounds
I feel them in my soul....
Yes I feel you breathing...I sense
your being inside me...
No one understood you
you were a stranger
in your own family
As you struggled against your
hidden enemy
it set fire to your soul
but left the brand on me...
Black sheep...everything is gonna be alright
cause...

Ghost
He was...
An apparition...that appeared because
of the state of my heart and emotional condition
I ....I've been in a vulnerable position
and because of it He....was pitchin....
Some serious Woo....
He had the heartbeat of my "hot seat" moving
to his rhythm...I was hung up on every type of schizm
there was...
As I continued to fall into something-like love
but covered in lust as my insides became molten....
It felt like my soul would burst....
As I became breathless over his words that burned through
me...and...

In The Flesh
Amazing....the way you wear your "human suit" so well.
Balancing "emotion" like a trained trapeze artist....
Oh....you're good.I give you that...too bad they cant see
those spurs growing out of your back .... like I can.
Parading around like a gentle soul... with a fragile exterior
Yet I am the one who sees your face morph...into a beast
when you glance at yourself in the mirror...
Yes...I know what lies beneath ....
I hear that devil-speak when you sleep
as I wonder how long you will be able to keep
this secret......

The Jade Queen ...(Spiritus)
Spiritus Jade Regina
Created from the neglected emotions of fear...
and anger...left to seethe...in the mind ...
and flesh ...only seeming to be calm
this spirit never rest
While wearing a smile of contentment
this spirit is vile..and full of resentment
Always plotting you can be sure...
and in its presence you should never feel secure
Though one may be deceived by its appearance of light
when in truth this spirit has a soul dark as the night
it was born...in the pit of despair
it is forlorn and only pretends to care...

I... Feel....You
There is a rhythm...
A Pulse...
A Heartbeat...
That moves us through this life
As I close my eyes....
I wish I could fly into....
the zenith inside of you.
I can feel the beat ...
of passion inside me
moving slow...moving
steady in my feet
I love it when I feel this way...
even when I'm being still...
I still sway
Into...the rhythm of life...
breathing..and being..
receiving and seeing
moving in motion
cause passion is living...
and I am apart of it all
When I think of you...
you move my soul...

Seeing The Real
In Life...
There are moments that define us...
and show us what we are,however
shocking the roots of ourselves may be.
It can happen when you least expect it,
stealing your breath away ...in either
horror or amazement....
All it takes is a moment.
A split second to see...
What fair beast or angel dwells within
Yet I believe...I can handle anything
inside of me ....
As long as I own it....
especially my darkness,for it is inside
these corridors that I find my deepest treasures....
The ones that tell my story...and let me see...

Inner Confessions
(For the Confession Secrets and Lies Comp)
My Confession...
In.. the still of me
is a place....that lays in wait
always hungry...ready to taste
the distinct flavor of my misery...
dripping down from inside the inner me
languidly lapping at the acidic core
of my mutilated memories...
Now I realize my thoughts have been my enemy
As I lay prostate upon the brittle ground of my
unforgiving heart....begging the Fury's to not
lay claim...or waste to my base emotions...
as spider like secrets spill from the open wounds ...

I FEAR ( for the fear of sex competition)
I FEAR
As I watch you hovering above me,
breathless, captured in the glow of passion
fleeting thoughts bombard my mind,as we kiss
and time unwinds....
I ....am ....so... into you
that all I want to do is fuse with your flesh
as we mesh and become....one
Yet, here come my doubts again and I come undone.
Wondering if you feel the depth of me so completely
that after sex, there will be no mystery
No more nirvahana only fleeting ecstasy
and this fear now vexes me...
Because I wanna love you forever
yet sometimes forever...

The Elusive....
Rare....
as an Albino Unicorn
with a diamond for it's horn
it is...hiding in between the folds of life
like the faeries that often visit little kids
It is the Elusive ....sometimes intrusive
enemy...that glides...and hides in plain
sight ...right in front of me...
It's my imaginary friend that never keeps
me company
Its like Willy Wonka's chocolate... I eat a lot
but still feel empty...
Just when I think I have it in my sights
somehow...
something changes or someone turns on the lights
and...

Stressed The f**k Out!
Here....
I sit
atop this gold plated world
filled with shit
as I mentally keep going over
and over it...feels like my mind
is going to split...
as I get so mad I could
just spit because
Life..isnt turning out
like I planned it.
and I must say....I dont WANT to understand it
For the first time in my life I had road rage
I felt like a lioness being let out of her cage
as my thoughts caused my foot to step on the gas
as I screamed obscenities at the driver
who cut me off at the pass
Man.... I...
