pain's bloom
in darkness ache
fragile flowers of despair
bloom black
a grim backdrop
to the pink daisies
flowering inside my innocence
pain plucked them
& adorns her head
with flowers born of my brokenness
ruling my inner lands with great cruelty
she caused my natural beauty to fade
& lay claim to the gentle soul within
in her withered hands
i first learned shame
outshining her glory my only crime

grey flowers of pain
yesterday wept
on tomorrow's flowers
nourishing blossoms of pain
they opened their faces
to the light of false hope
being firmly planted
in the beds of denial
they're grey in color
representing my uncertain future
a truthful sun
never to shine upon them
instead a liars moon
causes them to bloom in the shadows
where raindrops of sorrow
infuse them...

voodoo
come into the dark
where the colors of my soul
bleed black from addiction
shaded in my grief
the shadows cast
have long reaching arms
they grip me as i sleep
& hold tight when I awaken
i'm deaf
to the reasoning of my heart
it's a dark artist
casting its voodoo
i walk as one lobotomized ...

Wanderer
psychedelic eyes
burn rainbows in my brain
& i start to trip
free falling through space
i see myself born
inside the sun's bloom
its afterbirth the seed
planted here on Earth
it reveals secrets
in a super sonic reverberation
my ears bleed blue
i turn to see myself shift
from this life to the next
an eternal traveler
seeking enlightenment
the moon swallowed my words ...

spirit flower
take me to the water's edge
let me be subdued
kiss my lips with a poppies taint
& i will slumber inside my soul
resting for a thousand years
with no sunrises to wake me
i wander untethered from my body
as the stars silently call
within my celestial wanderings ...

soul journeyer
within the torment
of a poet's soul
is an aged whiskey
mellow & old
it burns going down
then becomes a glowing warmth
get intoxicated on our verse
the spirit of the poet
is laced inside these powerful words ...

gothic roses
the fog echoed its mechanical voice
it was lonely
& sought a victim to confuse
it was me who got lost in the grey
then the razor spoke to me
it wanted to kiss flesh
i put it far from me
before it could jump into my hand
my gothic roses bled pain
in their time of melancholy hurt
they stole the breath from me
as i keen for what they represent
they are the death of all hope ...

sorrow's gates
gentle sighs escape my lips
where they whisper
my life's in peril
heard by the gods
who understand these delicate murmurs
they send their love
laced on the wings of doves
an answer given
i've crucified myself enough
my penance received
within sorrow's gates
I am welcomed
tenderly cleansed head to toe
free from the heaviness...

lies buried beneath
a putrid scent is emitted
in a graveyard of guile
where all my white lies
wait in the open to be discovered
they haunt me
bumping around my heart's basement
i talk, a skeleton jumps out
my guilt mixed with deceitfulness
acidic betrayal burns holes
on my delicate grasp of sanity
where my facade drops
& madness howls ...

aums of pain
feed my ache
the bittersweet sorrow of days gone
flavor it with melancholy
so it bleeds the colors of my soul
my eyes reflect the depths
of a tormented being
there is great beauty in pain
it takes center stage
in the forefront of your mind
a ballet of the senses
an offering to divinity
who require aums stained
with the blood of your humanity
to pay the toll
...

down by the river
take me to the river
where i can draw breath
enter its cool, calm waters
my soul fully undressed
gone are the trappings
the thorns of this Earth
that pierce my wayward flesh
washed in the blood
let from above
i sit on the river bank & cry ...

the garden of melancholy
my orchids bloom black
reflective of my emotions
their spikes pierce
& drink from a soul so cold
lingering in the shadows
of a bloodied moon
that casts its grotesque light
on my garden of pain
i fertilize this place of shame
with the decaying bodies
of my broken dreams
it reeks with failure
& yet it's beautiful in its gothic pallor
it symbolizes death
my blackened flowers
guard the tomb of my sanity
