Word(s) Worth
I thought I saw the words
creeping into my mind
any word worth its worth
spilled out into my eyes
visually
capturing
snapshots as they appear
drawing in breaths
as images become clear
words
paint
pictures
the canvas
comes to life
self expressed scripture
flowing across the rhyme
seeing

the thoughts control themselves
dancing in my memory
develop
without

words fall into place
as if they already know
the order in which to...

Disappointment
what must you think of me
so full of grief and misery
so over run with pain
and going insane
how must you feel
to see how bad I feel
unable to cope or accept
and so dreadfully depressed
how hard you must cry
when you see the tears
flooding my eyes
to know that I can’t let go
and just say goodbye
how sad you must be
to see such sadness in me
to know that in my heart
I feel so torn apart
how disappointed you must be
when you gaze upon me
and what you see
is just so weak
how...

Sanity
I inhale deep
to draw myself back inside of me
tiny pieces of my sanity
fragmented
I hold my breath
to keep my insecurities in check
I die upon the doubt in my chest
suffocating
I swallow hard
slicing my throat to bloody shreds
to draw myself back inside of me
tiny pieces of my sanity
fragmented
I hold my breath
to keep my insecurities in check
I die upon the doubt in my chest
suffocating
I swallow hard
slicing my throat to bloody shreds

Raping Our Planet
Where in the world has sanity gone
What in the world have we done
Times speeds to a blur
And catastrophes occur
we absently prey to skies for help
The light at the end of the tunnel is our demise
An explosion yet to reach our feeble minds
When the light comes
Mankind is done
And we have no one to blame but ourselves
Burning
Turning
The world is churning
The planet is dying
Because humans stop trying
Greedy trumps
Needy
And all that we see
Is profit and gain
Until nothing remains
What...

Z to A - Life (written for Mariah's A TO Z IN REVERSE comp.)
zest for life gone
yesterday’s tomorrow, repeats today
xenogenic thoughts build in my head,
while I watched the dread fill up my chest
vulnerable,
unable to deal with any of it
this black plague of anxiety
slicing my throat to bloody shreds
razors dance across aching skin
quietly, in my sleep,
psychotic dreams kill me again
once again tears of anguish streamed down my cheeks
no safe place for myself to hide anymore
my wounds were bleeding when I awoke
left alone, with no safe place,
keep my insecurities in check
jagged and...

Spiderwebbed Fractures
suffering painless attacks of anxiety
within a shell where light penetrates the darkness
through spiderwebbed fractures
my shadow is my companion here
myself is my foe
in darkness I trust not
for my own senses will betray
through sight I see my death dance before me
across my
eyes it exists only for me
fading and melding with the forms of my companion
falling out of my periphery
and back again in its torturous display
no... I cannot trust here
within my ears the screams of my psyche shatter the silence
but do not...

Lost
I cant find where my heart used to beat
nor can I find lucid thoughts to think
lost to the sounds of a crippling silence
deaf to the winds that whisper of violence
aware of the life that brings forth death
and the struggles of shallowing breath
upon this world a curse I cast
from my heart these words are spat
nor can I find lucid thoughts to think
lost to the sounds of a crippling silence
deaf to the winds that whisper of violence
aware of the life that brings forth death
and the struggles of shallowing breath
upon this world a curse I cast
from my heart these words are spat

The Cold of November
as I transcend
from the chill of october
I look into the wind
and I find
the depths of the cold of november
filling up
my watering eyes
the warmth of the summer months
ancient memories
or so they seem
when the rays from the sun
washed down upon me
I search
and try to find
that spark to keep me warm
currents flow from the back of mind
as teardrops begin to form
as frozen glaziers
form in my eyes
my withering spirit erodes
icicles of blood recounting time
while my struggling heartbeat slows...

Natures Song
a bounty of life upon withering limbs
blossoms open to reveal natures secrets
upon a whispering heartbeat the world is tuned
and everything is aligned
a cornicopia of sunlight bleeches the sky
washing out the color with brillinat golden hues
the blues fade away into a seemless background
and are lost in the spectrum
condensation forms upon a beckening blade of grass
water dropplets charographed to a unheard melody
light and sound entwined
in perfect harmony
never has the wind moved with such grace
the delicate breeze whistles...

With Swollen Eyes and SUllen Sorrow
with swollen eyes
and sullen sorrow
I type the words you read
acidic tears flow down my face
with the press of every key
I pour myself into this thought
with every ounce of me
so with swollen eyes
and sullen sorrow
I type the words you read
with swollen eyes
and sullen sorrow
in the morning I awake
reminded of the pain I feel
with every breath I take
my wounded heart skips a beat
to set a jagged pace
so with swollen eyes
and sullen sorrow
in the morning I awake
with swollen eyes ...
and sullen sorrow
I type the words you read
acidic tears flow down my face
with the press of every key
I pour myself into this thought
with every ounce of me
so with swollen eyes
and sullen sorrow
I type the words you read
with swollen eyes
and sullen sorrow
in the morning I awake
reminded of the pain I feel
with every breath I take
my wounded heart skips a beat
to set a jagged pace
so with swollen eyes
and sullen sorrow
in the morning I awake
with swollen eyes ...

Pain Flows
my fucking eyes are swollen
and my heart beats heavy in my chest
my mind races in circles
collapsing upon itself
death does not come quickly
for one with a broken heart
the healing process is agonizingly slow
the quietus of death would be a relief
for my tattered heart
the voices will not cease
not even for a moments time
the emotion relent
and batter me
wounds align themselves atop scar tissue
liquid pain flows across my psyche
and my heart beats heavy in my chest
my mind races in circles
collapsing upon itself
death does not come quickly
for one with a broken heart
the healing process is agonizingly slow
the quietus of death would be a relief
for my tattered heart
the voices will not cease
not even for a moments time
the emotion relent
and batter me
wounds align themselves atop scar tissue
liquid pain flows across my psyche
