POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
My (S)word
Your war, not mine
i didn't seek so i don't care if i find
desperately waiting for the end
watching for souls ready to descend
bottomless pits, potholes of the unconscious mind
the dangers of double knotting the ties that bind
a descendent of a cancerous dream
nothing ever is what it seems
fighting for the right just to be free
righteously fighting for others to see
deny me what you will
my identity you cannot kill
try as you may, try as you like
i guess this is my way of making a preemptive strike
words are a weapon as you will soon...

Words which burn
excruciating forms of mental rape,
looking for a key to unlock the door yet there is no escape.
running memories on a broken reel,
no matter how I try, I'm numb i cannot feel.
Your voice stabs at my ears,
Hannibal lecture your words eating my brain for years.
a verbal labyrinth of hate,
a lexicon of deceit only you could orate.
mindless corruption of innocent souls
lost in a web losing control.

Chem trails of the mind
Mountains crumble to dust
left standing the two of us
consuming souls dancing alone
destiny screaming on a microphone
planets moving slowly past
fate all knowing coming in fast
the paradox of living
taking nothing yet always giving
systematic breakdowns lurk within
the always present whispering jinn
monsoon season has begun
nothing shall rise not even the sun.

Chained
Chained to the walls of my mind
Thinking.
Thoughts sinking,
Constantly the wheels turn
Analyzing.
Emotionally paralyzing,
Time is not my keeper
Speculation.
Tibetan meditation,
Memories walking down halls
Abstraction.
Mental distractions,
Tumbling with assumptions
Contemplating.
Flip-flop debating,
The reality that is
Pondering.
Mindless wondering.

Simply
drowning in a river of sin
not knowing where to begin,
tripping down natures path
hoping i can at least score a laugh,
yet when it comes undone
it leaves me longing for the sun,
the darkest night
the coldest moment in your life,
and then despair,
when you realize no one is there.

Prescription pills changed my destiny
You swallowed one
just for fun,
You swallowed two
because you were blue,
You swallowed three
and blamed it on me,
You swallowed four
to settle the score,
You swallowed five
and thought you were still alive,
You swallowed six
now you need your daily fix,
You swallowed seven
swearing it was heaven,
You swallowed eight
thinking it was fate,
You swallowed nine
that's when you ceased being mine,
You swallowed 10
and that was your end,
all because you swallowed one
just for fun, or two because you were blue,...
