Poem 175-B
Lost mind awakes
cut to ashen world
fog and mist abound
soul-spirit guides
to the lifeplain
where nothingness reigns
Below a troubled brow

Facebook is a Place of Fear
Facebook is a place of fear and hiding
not a place to have debate, only arguments
hate and fear
Facebook is a place of fear
Everyone fights not to feel like no one
and you are shut out if you're not plugged in
Facebook is a place of fear
we have a weapon in our hands
if we become unafraid of holding it
not a place to have debate, only arguments
hate and fear
Facebook is a place of fear
Everyone fights not to feel like no one
and you are shut out if you're not plugged in
Facebook is a place of fear
we have a weapon in our hands
if we become unafraid of holding it

My Last Words ( for The Sirens and so many others)
All connections are there
If you want to see them.
All possibilities are possible
If you wish to attain them.
Your vision blinds your eyes,
and you can no longer see
What is simply in front of you
is me.
If you want to see them.
All possibilities are possible
If you wish to attain them.
Your vision blinds your eyes,
and you can no longer see
What is simply in front of you
is me.

Jaundiced Eye
God gave me a jaundiced eye
To see the world burn
A leper left to die
In shadows I turn
Lost to emotional stress
I'm feeling it
God gave me a jaundiced eye
to see that you are blind
(Chorus)
A freak is left to his home
Dope and alcohol in my bones
Before I die I'll see your eyes
Set free from this time
we could leave this fucking world
if there was courage instead of fear
(repeat verse one)
(repeat chorus)
What you meant ...
To see the world burn
A leper left to die
In shadows I turn
Lost to emotional stress
I'm feeling it
God gave me a jaundiced eye
to see that you are blind
(Chorus)
A freak is left to his home
Dope and alcohol in my bones
Before I die I'll see your eyes
Set free from this time
we could leave this fucking world
if there was courage instead of fear
(repeat verse one)
(repeat chorus)
What you meant ...

Manticore
Bleeding years in the body of time
youth appears strong but it is not wise
double talk and attempts at control
these three beasts slay the Manticore
Defiant to weakness and folly of man
creative procees exposes intent of the clan
together as one or a carcass on the floor
slain by shortsighted ego or arise as the Manticore
youth appears strong but it is not wise
double talk and attempts at control
these three beasts slay the Manticore
Defiant to weakness and folly of man
creative procees exposes intent of the clan
together as one or a carcass on the floor
slain by shortsighted ego or arise as the Manticore

She Casts A Shadow
Witchy woman casts a shadow
searching for a reason to be
through forests of empathy
casting different spells on me
she knows just what your doing
when you think noone's looking
through your darkness I can see you
preying on her supple flesh
commanding a vindictive power
a spider hypnotizing a flyess
when I last seen you I knew that
you tore out my spine
a mage of depressing beauty
can be a horcrux of lies
left to die I know I'll see you
GOD SAVE YOUR EMPTINESS
She casts a shadow...
searching for a reason to be
through forests of empathy
casting different spells on me
she knows just what your doing
when you think noone's looking
through your darkness I can see you
preying on her supple flesh
commanding a vindictive power
a spider hypnotizing a flyess
when I last seen you I knew that
you tore out my spine
a mage of depressing beauty
can be a horcrux of lies
left to die I know I'll see you
GOD SAVE YOUR EMPTINESS
She casts a shadow...

Withdrawal symptoms

A poem for young Women who steal the hearts of men
The heart of a young maiden
in such frustrating hollow
and selfish times
Is fickle and jealous
it fights against itself
But for not this young ladies wisdom
(in so a lack of)
would my foolish heart
be condemned to her fleeting love
Does time not forgive?
I choose living death
And life in it too
does ease my juvenile love
for such a confused and battered
Angel
in such frustrating hollow
and selfish times
Is fickle and jealous
it fights against itself
But for not this young ladies wisdom
(in so a lack of)
would my foolish heart
be condemned to her fleeting love
Does time not forgive?
I choose living death
And life in it too
does ease my juvenile love
for such a confused and battered

Jean Cocteau, Diary of Cure, Page 136
Opium has broad shoulders.
After my cure I begin to experience once again
the sufferings that I blamed it for
and for which it mitigated; I remember the same sufferings
tortured me in the past; when I did not know Opium."
This passage is featured in Cocteau's "Opium: Diary of a Cure" and is wholly his work and I in no way take credit for his words, but use this as a platform to display them.

Opium Tea
Staying inside
A cotton lined
blanket and wall
Leaving behind
The pains of my birth
Inherited and gained
(lost)
These maladies
that curse me
blessed drink that frees me

Muse
When I dream
I dream dead memories
People need a muse
a catalyst
but a muse may never take credit
For all the good that is caused
if the muse does
the muse will be ostracized
