Poet Introduction
Find what you love and let it kill you -Charles Bukowski
Sweater Weather
There's nothing much better
Than this cooler weather
We're having these days
With warm sunshine
Afternoons and crisp nighttime
Skies, starry and bright
Moon shining soft and white
Contrast
To leaves changing color
And pumpkin smiles that
Grin and grimace at each other
Where black cats prowl
In the shadows
Of what lies hiding
Imagination imagery
Makes the wind howl
Like the sweet tooth
Little old lady
Who behind closed doors
Makes something foul
Poisoned candy apples ...

Never Return To Me
I never want to see
Your face again
You're nothing to me
You're not my friend
You threw me away
And didn't care how it hurt
Now I just want to see you
Six feet in the dirt
Because you hurt me
Like no one else ever has
And I can't take this pain
Can't come back from the past
I know who you are
I've known your kind all my life
Your smile hides the hand
Where you hold the knife
And it doesn't bother you
To plunge it deep inside
To make me bleed
And laugh while I cry
...

This Moment
Can I love you
Please for just this moment
One second in time
From a lifetime
Can I hold you
In my arms and my mind
Maybe even in my heart
No, there's nothing left there
But I want to hold you
Tight and close and dear
I want you here, near
Can I please, if you please
I can get on my knees
Bring you to yours
Give you my favors
Taste each others flavors
If you'll allow me
And if I'll allow you
All the things we could do
It really would be nice
I guess that's my vice
To want, to need,...

Unnamed Remains
The rising sun brings the undone
Of each and every day
In the house of decay
That awaits none to come
Black mold and water stains
Are the charred remains
Of what never was
Yet is always the same
Different but unchanged
Where dead echoes of prayers
That no one hears
Drift through chambers
Then fall on fears
Of alone, gone
Nothing and no one
Where broken window
And empty chair
Left abandoned there
Without purpose or care
Couldn't know when or where
The meaning went
Or why it left...

Puppy Love
Sweet and loyal
Kind and true
Even though his eyes
Say he's sad
Through and through
He's always there waiting
Excited when I'm back
Wants to know
How much I love him
Always afraid
I won't come back
Sometimes he's silly
Loves to make me laugh
When he sees me crying
He's always got my back
So every day I pet him
Taking care of my boo
Giving him my loving
When I can see he's blue
But he's not man's best friend
Because to him the world
Was cruel And mean
And yet he means
So...

He Speaks To Me
How beautiful thou art
My precious love
An angel's face shining
As the morning dove
No pain be in your heart
No tear be on your cheek
Thy somber mission granted
I hold thee, small and meek
The frailest of the flock
The smallest grain of sand
My commands you keep
Till thy victory's at hand
Do not be in fear
Behold me on mine throne
Hear now my calling
And I shall lead thee home
My precious love
An angel's face shining
As the morning dove
No pain be in your heart
No tear be on your cheek
Thy somber mission granted
I hold thee, small and meek
The frailest of the flock
The smallest grain of sand
My commands you keep
Till thy victory's at hand
Do not be in fear
Behold me on mine throne
Hear now my calling
And I shall lead thee home

No End To Pain
I remember you
And I miss you and me
But I hated the pain
Always in your face
No one ever cared enough
Not me or you
So we suffered in the bed
Of our own abuse
And nothing was ever
Good enough
For either of us
You were always to blame
And so was I
Slowly circling around
Wolves ready to pounce
But sometimes we loved
At least that's how it seemed
At least that's what I think
I don't know anymore
I can't see what is real
Or what was real
I made my own fantasies
Making make...

Some People
Some People here
Are wondering why
I put myself out there
To let all see me cry
Why don't I censor
Why don't I hide
Because I've done that
For all my damn life
Internalizing
Agonizing
The chaos and lies
Projecting only the nice
And now it's my time
To be free and to find
Myself in the world
Just a silly crazy girl
Who wants to be heard
Maybe it's absurd
But I don't really care
What you think
And I swear
Hate all you like
I've already been there
And I've...

Oblivion
We are what we are
Monsters and villains
Making love stories
In horror houses
And desert islands
While we eat our
Cannibalistic hearts out
Ripping and
Shredding ourselves
And each other
Cursing our mothers
And fathers
While they defile
Our sons and daughters
And the winds of time
Change and
Blow my mind
Like an AK
Holding myself hostage
In the cell of this hell
No pardon no reprieve
For the simple simon deceit
We all baste on ourselves
Drawing from the ink well ...

Can't Go Back
I've been here two days
It feels like two weeks
I want to go home
I want my babies
But now there's
No going back again
Time can't heal this
There's not enough time
In forever to ever ever
Ever stop this pain
Because of hate
Because of hurt
Because of words
That never see
Forgiveness
Why am I
Unforgivable
Why can't I be given
The same things
That I have given
Love, compassion
Understanding and
Forgiveness
I let him come back
Twice

Dying Inside
Why am I still breathing
I can't stop the tears
My heart has no piece
Without blackness
And hopelessness
I said I couldn't live
Like that
It wasn't living
But I'm dying inside
Trying to live
Like this
Been dying inside so long
How am I still here
Why am I still breathing
I deserve this
Deserve to die for being me
But I can't die
Because I'm still breathing
My temples are pounding
Because I can't stop crying
My body aches
From uncontrolled sobbing
I can't stop the...

What Are We
We drink this
Poisonous
Noxious death
Cyanide drips
From every breath
Words of anger and hate
Tears try to console
Yet fears persuade
Too late
Too late
Who are you
Doubtful
Know all see small
To say what may be
Or is possible
I can pour sugar
Thick as maple
On our table
So sweet
So sweet
We live in
Candy
Wrapped
Chocolate covered
Lives disturbed
Trying to preserve
Our rotting fruits
Disguised lying beneath
Don't eat...
