On Writing
Puts on
A record
Robert Johnson
Or Bach
Pours glass
Water
Of course
Picks up
Pen
Lays out
Fading paper
Lets ink
Flow
Clotted
A hand resting
On a pounding forehead
Eyes close
Mouth dries
Ignores the
Water
Goes outside
Lays down
And looks up
Debates thoughts
And unkempt grass
Buries rhyming
Words
And drifts away

The Human Enigma
Uninterpreted
And laid out
Naked
And raw
Uncivilized
And demonstrated
Without fear
And without shame
Unbroken
And shattered
Everyday
And every night
Uneven
And scribbled
In every occasion
And in every opportunity
Written
And scrawled
On every cell
And on every mind
Illiterate
And speaking
Words unknown
And unheard
Persistent
And slow
With bonds
And chains
Agitated
And debating
With doubt
And unease
And laid out
Naked
And raw
Uncivilized
And demonstrated
Without fear
And without shame
Unbroken
And shattered
Everyday
And every night
Uneven
And scribbled
In every occasion
And in every opportunity
Written
And scrawled
On every cell
And on every mind
Illiterate
And speaking
Words unknown
And unheard
Persistent
And slow
With bonds
And chains
Agitated
And debating
With doubt
And unease

Suffocation
Sitting
Alone
In the
Dark
Watching
For some
Sliver
Or scale
Of
Emotion
To pour
Out of me
To tease
And purr
And twist
And turn
At the
Beating muscle
In the upper
Left quadrant
To perhaps
Make me
Believe
That
Within my
Current desolate
State of
Mind
There could
Be a
Mirage
I have yet
To open
My eyes
Or rather
Mind to
Yet with
Every blink
Every
Breath
Every
Deliberate
Word I...

Monkey in The Middle of Irrationality
Thin
Slivers of
Your existence
Slip through
The space
Inside
My mind
Where I dwell
Is invaded
When withering
Films
And scales
Of what
You were
And who
You are
Crawl through
To infect
Me and
Suffocate
Flirting with
Breaking walls
Of my only
Stability
The deepest
Depths
Of what I presume
Is a soul
You are
Playing
A dangerous
Game
And I
Should
Advise you
To back away
I...

Patience
Patience
Is a virtue
Some would say
That I do not hold
Do not let
My silence
Be mistaken
For patience
Nor a blank
Stare
Be interpreted
As submission
There are only
A few
Not even
A handful
Of people
That I give
The only ounce
Of my patience
Like a
Boost to
My own
Stigma
Causing
Further
Damage
To it
But I
Give it
Anyway
Born from
Trust
Love
Care
Need
I'd tear
Myself down
Over and over
Just...

Sedated
A hallow
Space
Somewhere
In there
Nothing
Fills
But it
Suffocates
Eyes go
Black
Don't want
To see
Words form
Choke back
Just before
Launch
Head thrown
Back
Breathing
Shallow
Arms sprawled
Legs
Dangled
Off cliff
Of an
Eternal
Pit
Given up
Pretentious
Disease
Spread through
Your touch
Get away
From me now
I'd rather
Wallow
In my own
Self pity
Than live up
To yours

Gagged Revenge
Cartoon show
Theme song
Playing aimlessly
In another room
Tied up
On the bed
Not a humble
Submission
Three hours
Passed
And there's
No return
Cold sweat
Trickling down
Your brow
Hands clamming
Poor circulation
Just passed
Your wrists
Skin blue
Feet fast
Asleep
Bound
Crudely
Muscles
Exhausted
Still you
Writhe
Somewhere
In the corner
Stares back
Unforgiving

Purpose
A turn of events
Tragic and Desolate
How unfortunate
For you to be here
A stripped body
Lazily floating
The official report
Will say wrong place wrong time
Which I couldn't
Take that less
Than a slap
In the face
The idea
No, the nerve
To actually think
It was nothing more
Than a slip up
Of a shallow fate
No, tsk tsk
How naive
Tragic and Desolate
How unfortunate
For you to be here
A stripped body
Lazily floating
The official report
Will say wrong place wrong time
Which I couldn't
Take that less
Than a slap
In the face

No, the nerve

Long Ago
The weight of words
Outweighed the hits
And slaps
'I love you'
Doesn't do much justice
After being tore down
Constantly feeling
Like a disappointment
Because patience was not acknowledged
Trapped inside yourself
The only reassurance;
A dim light
Silence speaks
So much louder
Than you realize
I hear your screams
And your cries
And pain
They are not ignored
Forgive me
If I only stare
It's not cynically
Please don't think of it
As that
I'm only waiting
To...

Bleak Comfort
Dirty water
Leaks
From a
Spored ceiling
Wings of
Your inner
Demons
Surround me
In a
Warm
Caress
Of...
No,
No I can't
Possibly
Let these,
Let your,
Demons,
Their brittle
Wings,
Comfort me.
But
They
Do

Spored ceiling

Visiting
If I tremble
It's not due to fear
I trust that,
By now
You don't mistake
My twitching fingers
For anxiousness
Struggling with insecurity
Plexiglass walls
Hide a lot, however
And prevent
Quite a bit
Which is fine
With me
But tell me
How do you feel
Watching me
Reading me
Trying to find
Something, anything
Of my countenance
To portray emotion
For you
To feed on
No, not as easy
As you would want
That would
Ruin the game...
It's not due to fear
