Poet Introduction
.
Cold Cigs (another of my earlier poems)
I can’t think straight,
I know this.
Style is day and night and
Cigs just taste better in the cold.
I like to let the burn set in.
When I feel the sting,
I want more and all at once please.
Everything is jaded so I stay faded.
Devious fantasies drive my mind.
I’m doomed and demented at times,
Newly found, most of the time,
And out of control, all the time.
See what you wanna’ see,
This is only the beginning.

Mother
Shoot me up so
I can sleep Mom,
I need bliss so
I can sleep Mom.
You are the only one
That can do the trick,
You are the only one
That can give me that fix.
I need you to tie me off so
I can slip into my dreams,
I need you to tie me off so
It can drip into my veins.
You are the only girl
I’d want to finish the job,
You are the only girl
I’d want to end my misery.

Excuse My Mood (one of my first poems)
The myth isn’t all it’s cracked up to be,
This mystery is deadly.
The story you hear is the life I lead,
These words are no joke.
I was all in before the cards got dealt.
I didn’t choose this shit,
I got chosen.
Rotten genes and terrible memories,
I was born struggling.
The first hit was it,
I was hooked before it even kicked in.

You looked into me and
Said it was your first time.
I told you I'd kiss you every
Time you closed your eyes.
You didn't respond, you just
Gave me a glance that said yes.
For a moment, you were the one.
For a moment, I knew we'd go on.
You were everything unharmed--
Beauty, miles away from jaded.
At the time, life was great, but even
A perfect moment is still a moment
And soon my cracks began to show.
You started to realize I lied.
You started to realize I was high.

Gone (Collaboration: Rina 'Vee' & Anthony Hendrix)
What was I going to find
stumbling in the dark
while you were near
standing in the shadows
holding the truth.
Your warm breath
caressed my bare shoulders
shimmering like
dying stars.
Just as I turned
to embrace the desuetude
you were gone
gone,
like the morning
light.
Never
to be found.
Again,
I held on
to everything you left behind
slowly pushing
back
to the dark
corners of my mind
replacing you with

L.S.D.
I am no longer trapped in my head,
My mind is now in the world around me.
Looking down, I can see my arms breathe--
Glowing clear energy flowing in and out
Of them as I struggle to understand.
I don't feel oneness with the universe,
Just anxiety over my walls melting.
I keep trying to make it to the
Fridge to grab a beer but I always
End up on the wrong side of the kitchen.
I must of lost track of my movements and
Now I'm lost in my own fucking home. ...

Amber
You ran away at eighteen--
From youself and
From your tragic past.
You found yourself while
Dancing alongside a pole
With money all around you.
Never desired the way you deserved,
You became the epitamy of desire.
You spin, slip, and strip--
Lights flashing in your eyes
Making you glow for those alone.
You hide the deep razor cuts and
Bruises on your arms with heavy make up.
You put on the fake smile and
Play the part like a professional.
You act as if you're all he...

Laissez Tomber Les Filles
I looked across the table at her,
Wondering what she was thinking.
Then, shook my head at a memory of
A girl that broke my heart long ago.
She fidgeted in confusion and anger.
“Do you love me?” she asked.
“As much as I could love any girl”, I said.
“Why can’t you just say yes?”, she pried.
“I’m not the person for you”, I replied.
“I’m tired of trying so hard”, she fired.
“I wish you didn’t love me”, I sighed.
“Did you have to cheat on me?” she cried.
I didn’t answer. I just looked down. ...

Not a Love Story
I think about you all the time.
I wonder if you ever think of me.
This is not a love story.
You say you find
Pleasure in pain,
So do I.
You think you're
Headed nowhere,
So am I.
You have to fight to
Know the love is real,
So do I.
You tell me
You're dead inside,
So am I.
You told me you don't find
Too much pleasure In a kiss,
Neither do I.
When I met you,
You wore a black dress--
Bags under your eyes and
Bruises on your arms.
I knew what I was getting into.
I wanted...

Below My Window
I looked below--
One story down and
A world away.
I was coked out,
Watching my friends
Trip in the back yard
While smoking a cig and
Peering out of my window.
I could see cars driving by
On the streets beyond the
Fence that reminded me of
The real world-- my friends
Reminded me of the fantasy.
I told them things I
Thought they wanted to hear--
The good in thier essences ...

A World Without Hope
City streets filled
With degradation--
Sadomasochists,
Sodomists, and
Sadistic bastards
All around us.
A chemical fog
Turned what was
Left of our days into
An eternal night.
We roam, lost in our
Apathy, quivering and
Shivering--no prayers.
Cults of religious fanatics
Try to convince us there is
Something better waiting ...

Sewer Kids
The sewer kids live
Beneath the streets of
Bogota, Colombia,
Suspended three feet
Above a river of shit
On make shift beds.
Due to an excess of
"feral children",
Death squads were
Hired by the rich
In the name of
"Social cleansing".
So they went below,
Only to come out at
Night to scrounge up
What they can.
They smoke a mixture of
Chemicals and crack,
Taking the good feelings
Left for them to have.
Never knowing better,
They live like that--...
