POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
I Knew You Were Right (but did you have to be so correct)
You were one who rebelled against the system
You challenged binaries and made a new fem
You could have been a brand new messiah
But now you are professional pariah
You make me hate myself more
What can I now adore
My instincts are shot to hell
Bullshit hearts, it all ends well
How can I believe the art you made
When your victims had lives ended in spades
You lied in public and in private
All the while, you showed yourself a bigot
You make me hate myself more
What can I now adore

Sycophants & Zealots (of the Raging-Rapids, Lazy-River Ride)
You scream and cry; Over imaginary lies;
Permanently severing; All friendly ties
Chant and kill, losing; Personal identity
Charge and trample in; True barbarity
Listen to an evil con; In all his global chiffon
Say and spray your bullshit ideas; Provided verbal diarrheas
Where is your humanity; Where is your empathy
Here is your global quest; There is only acquiesce
Your inferiority is; Common but astounding
Hatred and ignorance; Just compounding
Refuse to listen to reason; While swearing to commit treason
When the law comes for you; The...

Denomination Indoctrination Sect
I stand above all others alone; Never admitting my sins to atone
Preaching tolerance and equality; My soul practices frivolity
Our people are better than theirs; You’d think my judgements are splitting hairs
We must love all to the futures; But my thoughts are them manageable sutures
My freedom is determined by my power
-is derived from your beliefs
-are controlled by my faith
-is only true if I have my freedom
Your impure trust gives me life; Money would be too obvious strife
My gold is steeped in irony-fool; But the lamb’s children prefer...

Why Didn't I Go
I prescribed you insecurities; Without my mental immaturities
I gave you my thoughts; Assuming we could be argonauts
I created your voice in my head; But I completely had misread
For we barely ever spoke; Still I thought my words could evoke
Learned long ago; Infatuation glow
Free from thought assumed lies; You reacted with your eyes
Right way out; Frightened doubt
Wish I never said anything; My thoughts needed abandoning
I assigned my impossible dreams; Never thinking them for extremes
Pretending you were colts-foot; I never asked for...

Dear, YOU
I will carry your lewd moon; Under the howling, bleeding swoon
I’ll drag my lifeless, haunted corpse; Down your sightless, winding course
I dream of your haunting voice; How does one really see choice
Internal peace has left me; You scream from death: “patiently”
You’re not a victim of my favorite drink; We are a figment of your fading last link
I am a student of your own inquiry; They are a people of our own poetry
Now that I’ve un-fucked my pain; From less, as you begin to strain
I’m waiting for tomorrow’s love; While I crave to live above ...

Syndromes Down The Rabbit Hole
My unseated vertigo overtly strong
As the walls become infinite long
My senses are leading me wrong
They all collapse to cover oblong
The colors flash back-and-forth
Light-to-dark, my focus dearth
I’ll break my brain, just like a hearth
Down the rabbit hole
I know - it’s a - lie I - know it’s
A dream – I know – it will – end I
know I’ll – be fine – I will – be fine
I will – be fine – I will – be fine
Vast, empty chasm of fear
The focus fluctuates never being clear
The echoes continue at beck-and-call

Logic & Love
What do I think now?
Am I mad?
Am I relieved?
Am I sad?
Am I happy?
Am I confused?
What should I think now?
I don’t know.
Before I had distractions and a full support but now I’m alone with my thoughts and caught on the retreat with little aid left. The band of brothers and sisters is splitting at the cracks and you’re getting the heavier side, which seems fair.
It makes the most sense for you to have the most support but why can’t I confide in others to create my own?
What is wrong with me?

Closéd Ignoramus of Intelligence
I used to believe that bliss was a goal
Their flagrant ignorance is said to cajole
Started by conspiracy theories
Finalizing with bullshit queries
How is it you ignore real plots around you
And focus on things that never harm true
You complain about what books are sold
Refuse admit politicians controlled
You constantly believe personal intransigence
Closed ignoramus of intelligence
When the sun goes down tomorrow
Your god will abandon all in sorrow
There’s no reality, it’s all an illusion
But you choose to add...

Fights of Fancy
Maggots are errors, dying alone; The devil comes, throat of the throne
Gasping for breath, praying to god; Remember sins, bullshit facade
Nothing exists to support your losing; Never fulfill dirty amusing
Stay allied, never look outside; Hide your fears, abide false tide
My slow-gun slogan has run its wind; Live to sing, cry up to sin
Blind and hide my soulful kind; Repeat to eat your alien mind
Fade to gray with my gavel play; Penitent heat, or so they say
Plead for mercy from hell above; Like to imagine yourself the dove

The Blessings of an Early Morning
I am too late.
My throat is soar as my teeth pang.
My eyelids are heavy as my eyes sting.
My legs give way as I try to lower myself.
I am falling.
My vision is fading and I blink again.
My back is crumbling and I stand up straighter.
My knees bend away from me and I stand on my toes.
A burning sun of faint excess.
My heart gives way like my brain that doesn't respond.
My arms feel weak like I can't hold on any longer.
My breath is shallow like a gasp from a cold existence.
The lights above get brighter.
I want to remain upright...
My throat is soar as my teeth pang.
My eyelids are heavy as my eyes sting.
My legs give way as I try to lower myself.
I am falling.
My vision is fading and I blink again.
My back is crumbling and I stand up straighter.
My knees bend away from me and I stand on my toes.
A burning sun of faint excess.
My heart gives way like my brain that doesn't respond.
My arms feel weak like I can't hold on any longer.
My breath is shallow like a gasp from a cold existence.
The lights above get brighter.
I want to remain upright...

Revelations and Social Bombs
I'm confused. I'm very confused. I'm not really sure what is going on. You think you know what I'm thinking, what I'm feeling, what I'm doing but how can you know if I don't even know.
I'm neither nervous nor excited. Having been both at a point and so anxious that I feel like I'm going to explode in the past I should know if I'm there and feeling neither of those at this point in my life has me confused because I know I'm not happy now. Simply unaffected.
I feel like an animal that is seeing my reflection for the first time. My reflection shows that I don't care. I have run...

DANCE For Your Life (motherf**ker)
Hey, you, won’t you kiss my truth; I pray you don’t read past my youth
We believe you’re just to choose; Legal syringe, holy tools
Run for the shadows, death; Hide behind bureaus, breath
You hope will decompose, Lethe; We frighten all with dildos, Beth
Why would you ask to disclose, girl; You pain and shame, my fame, twirl
Squeal like the tame echoes, curl; My colors will all keep unfurl
Scream to chance, fear to tell; Fuck them all, but give them hell
Dance for your life, motherfucker
Dance for your culture flags
Dance for your life,...

Squeal like the tame echoes, curl; My colors will all keep unfurl
Scream to chance, fear to tell; Fuck them all, but give them hell
