Flames
Today on the way out towards the panhandle,
I saw smoke out on the horison,
I kept quiet, and didn't babble,
Craned my neck to see, squinting for my vision,
Thought it was maybe a brush fire,
I saw the glorious power of flames,
It was more than my brain could handle, like sharp briar,
Nature and gods certainly were playing no games.
It was beautiful and yet terrifying,
Only about twenty-five minutes ago,
A car transport on the right shoulder, burning,
Flames from inside every car, burning not slow, ...

I Hate Myself Today
I haye myself today,
I have no words to say
Just how much I've failed today,
I can't seem to do anything right,
I can't get what I need or want, even if it's in sight,
Because of too much fright.
I remember a time when I didn't have to fight
Because everyone else told me what was right,
Because I was a child,
And my responsibilities weren't so wild,
And I wasn't so overwhelmed,
And today, with nyself, I'm underwhelmed,
I'm disappointed in myself, I let it win,
Today, I let the anxiety win.

I'm disappointed in myself, I let it win,

Hell on Earth
Head pounding,
Eyes hurting,
Fingers twitching,
Soul draining,
Life failing,
Food selling,
Selling fast, fast, fast,
But will I last?
Will I last to the end of the day?
I feel myself fading away,
Losing consciousness,
Running on fumes from weariness,
Blocking out excess stimuli,
Trying so hard not to lay down and cry,
One more screw loose and I might try to die,
Or make someone else perhaps die.
I don't want to do it,
But I do imagine it,
Because others fill me with ire,
They make me feel like shit,...

Worthy
I undoubtedly concur,
These days are going by like a blur,
I haven't had much chance to discuss with you
The things that I've been going through.
When I lie my head down on my bed,
I've got some concerns about something you said,
I know I've shown tremendous emotional growth,
And I know you've seen said personal growth,
But we talked about my concerns with talking to my work crush,
And how if we become friends, because I don't want to rush,
At some point, I'll tell him how I feel, even if we stay friends,
What could happen, what could...

Isn't That What You Wanted?
Why do y'all wish your children to never be intimate?
Or at least not sleep around, and have only one mate?
Y'all get so mad, when you talk to or hear of people
Who have no sexual desire, or even want to sleep with people.
Why do you not want your kids to do that,
But when they come out as asexual, you can't have that?
You want grandchildren so badly you want to force the issue?
So mush so, that for your eyes, you reach for a tissue?
Because you see this as a human glitch?
Or do you want them to have an un-scratchable itch,
That you can attack...

So mush so, that for your eyes, you reach for a tissue?

Who Am I? Friend, or Foe?
Since time immortal, I have stood,
No one name will do me good,
Known by many to all, and all to many,
Names are but glib pleonasms, spoken blindly,
Depends on your view, if I'm dark or friendly.
Who's the fairest of them all?
I can't see, my vision clouds in deep, blood red, all,
Watching those around the world drop like flies,
Day in, and day out, since the beginning of time,
Cryptic, I speak in stark and subtle rhyme,
Extrapolating from between every line I read,
Making more sense of each and every deed,
Done without forethought, ...
No one name will do me good,
Known by many to all, and all to many,
Names are but glib pleonasms, spoken blindly,

I Am Me, Not the Sum of My Intimate Parts
I feel my clothing against my skin,
Brings me comfort, like a phenothrin,
Killing the sick ticks and fleas that wish to feed,
But from some, I would not be freed
Should we ever meet at any point,
I feel the burn of every single joint,
When I pop them, the minor stinging skin,
But only if I try too hard, speaking for my kin,
Causing the roses to droop and wilt,
Like a pinball game in a perpetual tilt,
Stuck in a time loop, I wish, and I wish,
Over and over, for the same decent things,
To be treated like normal human...
Brings me comfort, like a phenothrin,
Killing the sick ticks and fleas that wish to feed,
But from some, I would not be freed

But only if I try too hard, speaking for my kin,
Causing the roses to droop and wilt,
Like a pinball game in a perpetual tilt,
Stuck in a time loop, I wish, and I wish,
Over and over, for the same decent things,
To be treated like normal human...

Zymoid
Eating away at the pages,
Singing songs, from the furthest of ages,
Writing words from lessons learned from sages,
Lost in a world all my own,
A ringing in my mind, a crystal clear tone,
It's purely my thoughts that drone.
Speaking in sentences, truncated,
Some days hurt and frustrated,
Some days melancholy and blue,
Some days, happy, I change my hue,
No time to speak it all, too many volumes,
Of all the volcano and star plumes.
Consuming words, outputting paragraphs,
Creating my own imagery of lithographs,
Like an enzyme...

Xanthous
A strong, but brittle shell breaks to pieces,
And out, is poured the runny, yellow yolk,
Add in some dark matter, and some cheeses,
Turn on the fan, to catch the choking smoke.
Simmering like that of a tortured blood,
Flipped like a sunny mask, hiding hatred,
Cut with a knife, I'll never be your bud,
Stabbed in the back, I may have lost my lid.
Nothing covered the boiling inside,
Feared I might pop someone with hot oil,
Picking xanthous shards, I near the quayside,
Where I begin emotional toil,
Now unloading dreams,...
And out, is poured the runny, yellow yolk,
Add in some dark matter, and some cheeses,
Turn on the fan, to catch the choking smoke.
Simmering like that of a tortured blood,
Flipped like a sunny mask, hiding hatred,
Cut with a knife, I'll never be your bud,
Stabbed in the back, I may have lost my lid.
Nothing covered the boiling inside,
Feared I might pop someone with hot oil,
Picking xanthous shards, I near the quayside,
Where I begin emotional toil,
Now unloading dreams,...

Hurting Heart
This hurts so much, it breaks my heart,
I want to talk to you, but I just can't seem to start,
My feelings are so mixed, sometimes it drives me crazy,
My head is stuck in the clouds, and my vision goes hazy.
I feel as if talking to you
Is the right thing to do,
As if I would be sad and disappointed forever if I lost this chance,
My brain and my heart are in this terrible death dance,
I've never felt this way about anyone before,
And I've had feelings for people before.
My brain and my heart continue to argue,
Argue over what I should do, ...
I want to talk to you, but I just can't seem to start,

Pick Up Sticks
One, two, where were you,
Three, four, when I fell to the floor?
Five, six, now playing pick up sticks,
Seven, eight, starting with a clean slate,
Nine, ten, won't do this again!

Things I've Left Unsaid
Brains sometimes leak from skulls,
Like ghosts from wrecked ship hulls,
As careless ink is spilled,
Leaving one feeling thrilled
By a long-standing hope for change,
Until you remember, people think you're strange,
And why would they want to help? Why change?
But that's all in the past,
It matters not now, just poetic entertainment to last.
Sometimes dreams fade and die,
As new ones form, from days gone by.
To learn is to know, but to know is to learn,
How often, the candle must burn,
You cannot have one without the other, ...
Like ghosts from wrecked ship hulls,
As careless ink is spilled,
Leaving one feeling thrilled
By a long-standing hope for change,
Until you remember, people think you're strange,
And why would they want to help? Why change?

It matters not now, just poetic entertainment to last.
Sometimes dreams fade and die,
