Minds Wide Open
Welcome to my dark mind:
To what you weren’t meant to find.
Now that you’re here,
I simply ask you.
Can you see all my lies?
If so,
Can you tear out my eyes?
A child is crying in your head.
Before you know it, you’ll be dead.
Wicked men dancing in your view.
All your nightmares have come true.
Awake now!
And shaking violently,
wide-awake!
Still demons I see!
The evil is a little show,
It turns me bad,
So on my wicked way I go.
The light hits your eyes with a wild blur.
Your head is SPINNING,!

Tomorrow I Shall Be King
It’s time to un-dust my old tap shoes…
it’s times to try to tap my way through….
I don’t know what ever happened….
too make me turn out darker than I …
had already been…
Trying to escape the madness of my heart;
my mind is quick, my wit is sharp;
today is a day to display a little art;
it’s gonna be okay; even though we spend days
like our birthdays alone.
So pleases sing happy birthday for me
silently; behind a screen somewhere.
I’ll be remembering you and our best days
Today is just another day;

Do You Have Coffee?
The real poet in me,
looks dead.
I gave him a poke,
dusted off the mold,
he said, BEHOLD!
I was just sleeping,
I’ve had no inspiration.
The light went out.
So I slept.
I then asked,
shall we write again!?
He replied
someday soon,
I’m still waking up
and its still so dark,
and I'm still sleepy.

I Love You Like Death
I am the perfect mix of normal as normal
can be; as normal being; weird, as weird is normal;
but not so weird, as to be so weird it’s not normal,
I am of the present and am of the shadows
I shadow the present as it presents shadows,
that harrow the past – gifting me with today;
I am only as sane as you on your insanest days,
the rest is a mock rehearsal and I want my moment;
oh lament – you’re insane, maybe I’m sane; baby.
oh lover, dear, hear me say I love you like death.
as life is pitiful, hate filled and judgmental,
so I – I…I love you like...

The Dream Eaters
Nonsense! It’ll work, we have this plan!
We’ll tell the masses over cake and tea,
We’ll dismember those who do not understand ,
We’ll throw bombs on those trying to flee.
Let it rain beautiful crimson red,
Singing and dancing in the little pools,
Don’t worry, you’ll be dead,
As we make our selves look like fools.
Oh wicked world spin a little faster,
Swirl together a conscious unity.
We’re breaking from internal laughter,
So we’ll play along with this little mutiny.
Look at this poor child laying there alone,...

Self Reflection
I didn’t like that,
Today when I saw my reflection
In another’s words.
Reality got a bit
To close
A bit too fast.
I didn’t like the
Way my words
Felt as I heard
Myself
speak
them.
I was tired,
So tired
I’ve worked so hard
Allow me to lose control
Find the answer myself
I already have it in hand.
Thanks for the reality check.
I’ll be checking out now,
Thanks for the tip.

Tears of the Tainted
Behind this paper I write with pain and sorrow.
So powerful, my arms flail as my heart beats beneath my heaving chest.
I can barley breath as I try to find the words to tell another poetic story.
The ache in my stomach, the pulsating emotions driving tears to drip from my eyes;
I ‘ve realize I’ve been holding it all down,
for far to long, so here comes the exploding dawn;
Awakening me to awful feelings beyond awful feelings –
Sick or sickness – are useless words to convey what –
is an epidemic of the dead;
The dead of heart and mind – now so blind to the...

A Skeleton Remains
Closing on a line that separates two dimensions;
Like the glass of a mirror – [that's merely an illusion]
To say, what if one could draw closer towards him or herself?
Like one would when leaning in toward a reflection.
[What if we walked toward each other?]
No mirror though. No, just a junction -
Appearing and breaking - through panes of
Souls. We've dared to contemplate the stirring
[Darkness] We sometimes find [Hidden and buried]
Trapped in me and you. [Reflected in each others

Dead Dog
A dead dog, decayed with dreams we inbred,
I had a head, with seams to keep us fed,
The links broke and it stinks, folks,
Please pause and turn away.
I can’t show you my face today.
History makes us say yesterday was better than today
Yet we prayed for today like good saints,
And it will never measure up to the one nostalgic day,
Where we grew free and random like graffiti paint,
The spray of our display lays like a splayed heart,
Were played to the end and its just the start,
My girl beats me and I call it art!
I can’t see you, who are you,...

'Tis thy answer, brother!
Dear brother, this ones for you
An insight to my little view.
You asked “why are you so crazy”
What if I said im really not –
Just reverse everything you ever thought.
You are caught in web of tolerable dread
Fed to you by pupils you think are cool,
We all do.
Im not crazy; im simply well spoken
And emotional, devotion to the notion of realism
Where i set aside cowardice and sacrifice my pride
To set aside the differences of hearts
Because im lonely and have lived too long alone in the dark.
Im not crazy bro; i write what I...

My Muse Said to Me :
Clear your mind.
The steps to come will bellow
In your mind,
Do not allow
sorrow to consume you.
Do not let go of your confidence
Stay true to what you do.
Always be you
It is said then
When you win you can never lose.
These are but humble thoughts
I, in vain try to understand
The wars as friends we’ve fought
We ought to learn to lend a hand.
To help us each into each other verses
Or its us versus us and no one wins.
Unlike the nexus of the curses
Ignore the negativity and the grins
Did you connect to the heart?

Acidic Poems for the Soul
Acidic poems for the soul of the tainted;
for everyone who ever poured their hearts into something
and had to watch it fade into… nothing.
the pain in my heart disallows my head to breathe
I cannot think of anything
only the everything in my mind
burning my soul, driving me insane,
my body trying to remember what its like to feel whole
i cannot say anything
nice to anyone about anything…
My words were sealed in little coffins
of technology locked away from me.
Hello new world; hello this is my face.
I lost trace of the old...
