At the end of my rope (03-10-2022)
Again the pressure is building up inside my head. When am I going to snap? When will I reach my limit? I can’t hold this inside for much longer. My mind is racing, crashing against the walls I have built myself. Walls raised for protection, raised to appear normal, raised so I can function, strengthened by the knowledge of past borders I protected. Stretching the periods between outbursts. But knowing that it has been quite a while that it happened. The voices are driving me crazy. Getting louder each day and night. Unable to sleep properly, unable to think clear. Insomnia is driving me nuts....

A Light Reflected
Reaching the sky
Spires to touch the heavens
The sun refracting of the glass
Like fingers reaching for a dream
Reaching towards a future
A destination unhindered
The ground roared
Shaking, a brief moment
A brief flash struck
Stones falling
Crashing to the earth, dust rising to settle
Rain came, went for days, weeks
Months turned to years
Nothing stirred, no sound to be heard
Alone the structure stood
Cold seeping into its open windows
Crawling across its floors
Warmth of life inside now...
Spires to touch the heavens
The sun refracting of the glass
Like fingers reaching for a dream
Reaching towards a future
A destination unhindered
The ground roared
Shaking, a brief moment
A brief flash struck
Stones falling
Crashing to the earth, dust rising to settle
Rain came, went for days, weeks
Months turned to years
Nothing stirred, no sound to be heard
Alone the structure stood
Cold seeping into its open windows
Crawling across its floors
Warmth of life inside now...

I Listen For Her Voice
I Listen For Her Voice
In through the nose and out through the mouth.
As I exhale my chest falls.
As I inhale my heart awakens with an innocent feeling.
As my heart beats it creates an awakening. It is curious.
As my mind hesitates, it goes blank.
Air hunger steals my breath away. I can't breathe.
Once I hear her voice though, I am secure and grounded.
Her words stabilize my mind.
She takes time to experience her own soul.
Will I take the same care to experience my own soul?
She takes...
In through the nose and out through the mouth.
As I exhale my chest falls.
As I inhale my heart awakens with an innocent feeling.
As my heart beats it creates an awakening. It is curious.

Air hunger steals my breath away. I can't breathe.
Once I hear her voice though, I am secure and grounded.
Her words stabilize my mind.

Will I take the same care to experience my own soul?

Change or Loss?
Have I changed?
I've come from from hiding and blending in, to trying to be noticed and admired for what I do.
From silence to the bones, to spoken actions even tho silence always latches on.
I've come from indifferent and cold, to being taken on a midnight ride by my emotions.
Inactive and questioning, to active and not thinking too much.
I've come from being socially shy and attaching to quick, to practicing Non-Attachment with whoever I meet, while still connecting.
Caring and willing to change the world, to change and be better...

I'm Sorry
I'm sorry
for all I've implied,
these dreams of you
were never true,
and I never knew
I tried,
with heart and soul,
seeking to know you,
to find your spirit
hidden within darkness
lost,
in shadows of the past,
stepping from your path
You never fit in
the boxes of my mind
I'm sorry
I got it so wrong
but I will never be sorry
for trying to love
nor will i ever stop loving you
for all I've implied,
these dreams of you
were never true,
and I never knew
I tried,
with heart and soul,
seeking to know you,
to find your spirit
hidden within darkness
lost,
in shadows of the past,
stepping from your path
You never fit in
the boxes of my mind
I'm sorry
I got it so wrong
but I will never be sorry
for trying to love
nor will i ever stop loving you

Delusional
Delusional
The postcard arrived the other day
and it said that you would be coming soon.
On the night of your arrival
I would see great rivers of blood flowing
across the face of a pale, disconnected moon.
Your arrival would be years ahead,
still I sat on my front porch and thought about the time.
Whatever happened and did we really ever make it?
I wonder sometimes,
the voices heard in all of the craziness
within the rhyme.
Now at last you have come calling!
It seems so fast yet somehow still so far...

Who Can Fix This Broken Soul
It’s seventy one degrees
But when I awake
It’s forty three
The temperature I feel
No longer my blood flows
Fully
Throughout my body
My heart is broken
It still pumps
But slowly
My life
Is cold and dreary
My future
Is bleak
If I continue to
Run people
Away from me
Lonely
Will be read
On my
Little obituary
The reasons why
I chose to leave
Bury my personal items
In the yard
No longer
Home to me
Disappear from others
Whom….
Has already forgotten...
But when I awake
It’s forty three
The temperature I feel
No longer my blood flows
Fully
Throughout my body
My heart is broken
It still pumps
But slowly
My life
Is cold and dreary
My future

If I continue to
Run people
Away from me
Lonely

The reasons why
I chose to leave
Bury my personal items
In the yard
No longer
Home to me
Disappear from others

Bakaddit
Have I lost it
Was the pain
all there was to it
Did happiness and joy
kill my conduit
Oh shit
There's this numbness
like the one in my clit
that can't feel a thing
Unless there's jackhammer
pounding it
I didn't just say that
did I
You know I never lie
Well maybe just a smidge
just to scratch the itch
Why is this being
such a fucking bitch
Trying to find it
again
Like my ink's run out of pen
and my mind's run out
think
Maybe I'm only happy
when I have nothing
good to say...
Was the pain
all there was to it
Did happiness and joy
kill my conduit
Oh shit
There's this numbness
like the one in my clit
that can't feel a thing
Unless there's jackhammer
pounding it
I didn't just say that
did I
You know I never lie
Well maybe just a smidge
just to scratch the itch
Why is this being
such a fucking bitch
Trying to find it
again
Like my ink's run out of pen
and my mind's run out
think
Maybe I'm only happy
when I have nothing
good to say...

More or less?
Slammed down a shot of sun,
a day begun,
far sooner than my liking.
Felt better in my dreams,
or so it seems.
This day so stark and striking.
Things loved will never stay,
they wash away,
never to return again.
Bound by the chains of pain,
I can’t restrain,
the temptations of my sin.
And so…
I die a little more
than I lived the day before.
a day begun,
far sooner than my liking.
Felt better in my dreams,
or so it seems.
This day so stark and striking.
Things loved will never stay,
they wash away,
never to return again.
Bound by the chains of pain,
I can’t restrain,
the temptations of my sin.
And so…
I die a little more
than I lived the day before.

Spirited
I'm not sure
Where i started from
But somehow
I ended up in Colchester
I was in a squat
It was empty when i'd moved in the night before
But when i awoke next morning
It was abuzz of activity
And i discovered i had been asleep
On some kind of stage
People were preparing banners of some kind
And there was lots of colours
And smiley faces
And no-one seemed the least bit bothered
That i had been sleeping
On what was clearly the main stage
I gathered my bits, and pieces
And loaded them into my rucksack
Put on...

Dr Emil at the cottage hospital had a problem
he was not aware of; he had worked in bigger hospitals
but fired for being rude to patients.
Dr Emil was a good doctor and a kind man the staff
The hospital accepted his quirks. as did the patients
and in the small town regarded as lovable eccentric.
Doing his morning round, he said to an old patient
“Does he never die, the fucking old fart?”
“What is the old cunt over there doing in my ward.”
Chuckles from beds
Dr Emil continued like nothing had happened unaware
of what...
