Favorite girl,
join me in the
back so we can talk.
I completely
forgot our feelings
stand in the mirror
and as you move
away, I get closer.
I told them you were
indisposed, that you
left and wouldn't
be coming home.
I reach into my pocket
as we fall forward;
a pinched nerve you
call this argument.
I told them gold was
your color and you
can't stay away.
you read that stuff about
the beauty of the world
and walk, naked, in the sun.
I just can't be that loved.

Fly
I'm falling into
the abyss.
your face is on
the walls.
a cigarette is all
I get for my trouble.
no trouble at all.
everything is hidden
by sound.
I can't feel the ground.
just a blur of light
and color.
they crowd around
to wait for their turn.
I've given up.
the heat is oppressive.
this experiment is
oppressive because
behind the white line
you can't cross is desire.

Reset
What am I doing here?
Nothing really seems to make much sense
How have I found my soul
Living in such ignorance?
Is there anything I can do?
Is there anything I can say?
Is there anything I can do?
To hit reset on
This game I'm playing
(So-called "reality"
It’s pure insanity)
What is this world I’m in?
My God, what’s happening?
What is this world I’m in?
Tell me what is happening
In this existence
Tell me, what is happening?
Is there anything I can...

WHEN IS ENOUGH OF ENOUGH
As I sit here in this moment of truth and conviction of words so true, I am pondering aimlessly with the process of the thoughts of uncertainty, and confusion and unanswered questions. For example sometimes we don't see ourselves through the lenses of our own eyes, as we sometimes have become invisible even to ourselves when it concerns, the people in our lives and heart. For it is necessary to understand that we don't matter to the other person, who has no idea how does love really work between two people who started off with love and happiness and joy and peace. But yet there are many times...

When I Was Homeless
When I was homeless
I felt lost at sea
stranded in the middle of an ocean
surrounded by water and hostile sky
sometimes a helicopter would approach from afar
the propeller rising in volume
- rescue at last
only for the helicopter to pass over
disappearing from sight
a week passed
then another
a month
six weeks
I still had nowhere to live
I stayed in cheap hotels
plundering my savings
each day fear lodged deep in my body
gnawing away as it promised ruin and destruction

Drown
So many questions we ask
But no answers are found
Suggesting the task
But nothings around
Compressing the trash
Can't hear a sound
Forgotten the facts
And lost underground
I'm checking the past
The truth that I'm bound
My loneliest path
Underneath i will drown
The fish I will catch
The Cerberus hound
The bright fiery blast
This hell is my town
I light up the match
The king has been crowned
Now burnt straight to ash
The holiest mound
The light won't attach ...

HIV - 92 (1992, Galveston Island, Texas)
5 a m
lost adrift
here again
in the wee hours
of early morning
im not surprised
at all
for its not
the first night
nor first time
outer and inner traumas
have combined
to link up into
these heavy
knotted chains
ive stayed up
all night
feeling unable
to set myself free from
much less
sufficiently describe
unable to unlock
break or escape
until hour after hour
of all these
nights without sleep
have all lapsed
slipped sleeplessly away
without any ...

Mental Claustrophobia
I feel the world caving in.
I’m getting claustrophobic.
I cannot breathe and you’re doing just fine without me.
I cannot sleep.
Days turn to blurs and I feel weak.
You’re getting over me.
While I lie awake, cause I’m afraid to dream.
Cause you always appear inside my head.
I remember everything you said.
“Baby I love you.
Baby I’m sorry.
I will always care for you, no matter what you do.”
Your words were never true.
I saw the worst of you.
You never...

Boundless
A ladder appears in my dreams
Circular in fashion
And never-ending, it seems
My ascent begins
When, like water over rocks in a stream
My grip starts slipping
Pitch blackness surrounds me
In an instant, I'm falling
Right side up? Upside down?
I can't see a thing
Approaching zero gravity
I gasp for air
Reaching out for the next rung
But it's not there
Panic sets in
Surely, I know
I'll never find security again
No control
Merely a lost soul
I close my eyes
With...

Maze
Sleepless, congested
Thoughts blur
But in the haze I see a maze
Wandering paths that tease
But never lead
To you.
Are the imaginations
Of your love
Merely mental conjurings
To feed my ravenous lust
For your heart?
Even when slipping along the edge
Of sleep
Heart and mind plunge deep
Into the aching longing
For you.
Do you despise or fear me?
Feel indifferent to
or are disgusted by
Thoughts of my desire?
If you love, care for or desire me at all
Why this hiding?
I think you do still...

I was...
I was 17 when he came at me
Shoved inside and stole from me
I forgot to eat, forgot to sleep
Most of all forgot to weep
I was 18 when my sister cried
Our mom had left us in the night
Left a note, left us no lifeboat
Most of all, left us with lumps in our throats
I was 19 when the car hit her
Took her away and I screamed and cried for her
I couldn’t walk, I couldn’t talk
Most of all I was just stood in shock
I was 20 when I stole the pills
For the first time I found relief and still
I took more, I took too...
