Just Another Day?
another day to the
world it seems
but its something
more to me
time passes
by in a blur
a haze
to the world
its just another day
I almost forgot when I woke up
what the meaning of
today was
as the sleep
cleared my mind
and I rubbed the slumber
from my eyes
I saw the day for what it is
and painful thoughts
came rushing in
if the sun came out
and the sky was clear
it would still be dark
and grey right here
upon my heart
a falling rain
casting shadows
of tears and pain...

The Yin to the Yang
you are the light
to my dark
the love to
my wounded heart
the blue sky
to my clouds
and the sunshine
when the rains come down
you are the smile
to my frown
and a whisper
to my screaming sounds
you are the laugh
to my tears
and the strength
in all of my fears
you are the hug
to my shrug
an embrace
of over joyous love
you are the white
in the light
when the shadows
come creeping in at night
you are the calm
to my storm
a safe haven
when my demons swarm...

Random Chaos
I wish I could sleep.
lay down and close my eyes and go to sleep.
what is it inside that scares me so badly
that I can't even go to sleep?
the dreams and images that invade my slumber taunt and torture me,
the memories and moving pictures of times I cannot forget.
the nightmares that I see when I close my eyes even before I fall asleep.
my mind will not rest, the pain will not stop
I cannot find peace.
exhausted...I am so tired.
I just want to go to sleep...
I want to be normal.
I want this to go away.
I just want to smile again.

Take Me In
Collaboration with TrippyScarecrow
Left hand clenching the black satin sheets
right, intertwined fingers clutching your hair
slow and steady rhythm
heart rate increasing
TS
eyes locked on yours
lips brushing softly
breath
matches
the rhythm
of every thrust
deeper
deeper
each trust
ignites passion
I tremble
under
just the slightest
touch
you leave a
trail of
goosebumps
on the surface
of my body
TS
gaze upon the copious inches
Melt when I whisper your name...

A Poem About Nothing
without a thought to build upon
i write these words
no preconceived notions
words in motion
stumbling through with nothing prepared
without a care...
i forge ahead
through this verse and into another
just like any other
no subject at hand
alone they stand
the words spill upon the page
rhythm and rhyme
set in time
through a structured verse
the flow of words
lacking the usual metaphors
these words of course
just ramble on...
a poem about nothing it seems
so easily...
just flows from me...

The Humidity Rises
the humidity rises and dampens the sheets
with blinding desire two bodies meet
trembling hands search in the dark
anticipation fuels a racing heart
a wondering mouth connect with another
sparks fly as he embraces his lover
deep in the dark his shimmering eyes
burn into hers and fuels her desire
with a gasp in her throat he nibbles her lip
a whimper of pleasure accompanies his kiss
the strength of his hand on the back of her neck
with a handful of hair their kisses connect
the tips of their tongues dance with delight...

Where My Secrets Are Kept
there is a place I can go inside of my head
in the back of mind where secrets are kept
a place where the darkness comforts and soothes
where I am at peace to think it all through
away from the clutter and noise of my brain
away from the doubt that brings me more pain
through this darkness I can see clear
and think my dark thoughts without any fear
in the back of my mind I know what to do
time and again I have thought it all through
with a wink and a tear from the eye in my mind
my psyche is steered by the thoughts deep inside
a trick to convince...

The Butterfly
as gentle as a flower in full bloom
as alluring as the midnight moon
soft as velvet to the touch
and inviting as the mid day sun
so captivating and enchanting to see
absolutely extraordinary
a gift that nature has bestowed
a wondrous thing for us to behold
so perfect in its elegance
with just the right amount of embellishments
its beauty and color seem to be
the perfect metaphors for poetry
slowing time with its spreading wings
so enthralled by what I see

A Mouthful of Words
If I cannot purge the words from my soul
if I let them built fester and grow
and allow my emotions to overflow
then my brain and my heart will surely explode
if the words fall from my mouth into the street
and no one is there to listen to me
is there a sound from my eyes as they tear up and bleed
or do I stand all alone in the street with my needs
if a mouthful of words should get caught in my throat
and I can't catch my breath when I'm starting to choke
and the world has forced me to vomit my soul
and I'm put on display like a freak in a show

I Will Not Fear (when my eyes are blind)
I will not fear when the light goes dim
for in the darkness I can swim
a blackened sea of nothingness
a empty space where I exist
I have the dark inside of me...
shadows to guide and see for me...
with the dark my spirit binds
I will not fear when my eyes are blind...
the dark will comfort and keep me safe...
and end my pain in a quiet place
a touch of cold upon my breath
and on my lips the kiss of death
I submit myself to an eternity
of darkened eyes and silenced screams
where my razor thoughts no longer slice
no longer stabbed by...

I Am Aware (I'm already dead)
I am aware of my heart in my chest as it beats
and the air in my lungs as I inhale and breathe
I am aware of the thoughts in my head as I think
and the lies in my eyes of the things that I see
I am aware of the touch that my fingers can feel
and the pain of emotions that murder and kill
I can drown in the tears of my eyes as they fill
and silence my cries with a handful of pills
I am aware of the fight that I face up ahead
and the misery that grows from the pain it is fed
I am aware that my body feels weighted with lead

standing in the silence of my own shadow...
caught in the wind lost by time
too busy to notice my mind
on my sleeve my emotions worn
battered and bleeding ripped and torn
standing in the silence of my own shadow
the doors to my soul empty and hollow
the screams I scream go unheard
silenced cries plees and words
echoes of times resonate within
razors slicing my heart again
said before a thousand times
again and again within my rhymes
sometimes I think no one can hear
the voice that projects my fears
because with time this has to pass
how long can this possibly last
through...
