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 ...

DARK POEM

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

sisters of ache
finesse my fear
i feel exposed
wrap me in the sinew
of your poetic flex
my bones are brittle
& crush under the weight of shame
cradle me in the stars
that shine from your soul
born of celestial expulsion
you chant lightly
a quasar appears.
stretches & yawns
swallowing my pain
within your gloaming

the addiction code
your pain reached in
& stole my breath
stifling screams of denial
i choke on the vomit of lies
i tell myself
when confronted with torment
i can't even imagine
drugs seduce, capture
& hold prisoner
they torture us with relief
however brief
is argued better for a moment
then another minute
in perdition's cold grip
the numb we chase it, run it down
all to quiet...

meth you dirty whore
let the day die
it's been unkind
put the drunken sun to bed
i'll stay up with a tweaker moon
& be just grand
within my semi psychotic state
i feel most alive
when i talk to my delusions
we have wondrous conversations
they soothe me
from past days rejections
yesterday aborted me
& left me to burn
inside a phene's torment

Soul Soldier~for Naajir
dearest sexy Soul Soldier
i want to caress your intellect
fondle your cortex
drop my verse
& make you sweat
your ink makes a girl cream
impeccable, smooth flow
that leaves me breathless
drop my panties in a minute
for the man who spills his essence
i lap at your prose
for its sweet salty flavor
drink every drop down
anything less would be wasteful
your seductive ink
causes me to wiggle & squirm
yearning for the man ...

Chemical Straight Jacket
i fed my disease pain
& it began to crave the ache
it ravaged me
all to feel me bleed
the crack like crystal meth
bringing me to my knees
pleading with the gods
to release me from the grip
of the demon called speed
but it was not to be
in my higher state of consciousness
i reached to the celestial for answers
enchanted by my frailty
they refuse to release me
from the chemical restraints
bound my soul touches outer space ...

heartless
the aching rain poured in my heart
a torrent of grief
without your caress
there are no warm sun rays
to take away the pain
bitter & raw
brooding with the bite of conniving
is this sorrow
wondering if I will see
the sunshine in your eyes again
your glance these days
reflects that of my soul
dark & moody
with a chance of thunderstorms
your silence
the lightening bolt
that crashes into my hurt
electrifying...

Opera Of Poetics
gritted teeth grinds the sand
blown by the fist
of the blackened night
beating down your resolve
to walk on through the city streets
waxing doldrums
enough to bring you to your knees
you answered with molotov cocktail poetics
an explosion of words
blowing down the day & night
exciting me

the meth diaries~the excuse
slip inside
& get lost here
the devil has me by the throat
it's name crystal meth
i'm trembling on the inside
Christmas is coming
& I have to be clean
afraid of the come down
what if I can't
will I go around my family high?
my mom is a nurse she will know
if my eyes are dilated
looking like two full moons
I reason within myself
that it was first used
as a depression cure
i'm depressed
so what the hell?
i'm not sure where i'm going

I don't want Wonderland~end game
I can say i'm clean today
& I don't desire meth
crave it yes
want it no
when the craving comes
I remind myself it's there for the getting
but why I don't want it anymore
it will always be there
if the world should get too hard
right now I want to be clean for the holidays
not high or coming down
so I stopped eight days ago
gave myself time to rest
when I wanted to create
but felt unable
I told myself it's okay
take care of yourself
when I counldn't drag myself out of bed

secret garden
in my grief i saw a light
fields of daisies planted
especially for me
a safe place to rest
where i can sleep
far from the howls of demons
that hunt me in my dreams
you stand at the gates
Archangel Michael
assigned to me since birth
you smile casually
& say
"we've seen worse"
"sleep in the garden
kept just for you
no choking weeds
or mocking thoughts ...
