In The Dead Of Summer
Timeless time, limitless space, summer gapes long with heavy, dizzy sighs,
a burning mirage on the distant plains, drowning in a thick layer of swaying heat
An atmospheric vibration filled with W's, and Z's , when summer slashes his skin,
when cicadas start your fuzzy morning, and the temper just sizzles, and your mouth seethes ;
and whizzles inside the thickly loaded pines, and cypress.A dizzy swirl of dust,
that revives a cliched flashback vibe of some time ago.
This morn, i strode, and shuffled along the pathway, no sigh of...
a burning mirage on the distant plains, drowning in a thick layer of swaying heat
An atmospheric vibration filled with W's, and Z's , when summer slashes his skin,
when cicadas start your fuzzy morning, and the temper just sizzles, and your mouth seethes ;
and whizzles inside the thickly loaded pines, and cypress.A dizzy swirl of dust,

Echoes in the Dark
Why does it feel like I’m lost again?
Drowning beneath my thoughts again.
Why can’t I seem to escape this chain?
Every shadow feels the same.
Why’s it feel like the ground’s giving way?
Every move’s just a trap that I’ve made.
Got my mind locked tight, like a cage of flames,
Every step’s just a march through the pain.
Neon lights hum with a haunting sound,
Concrete walls feel like they’re closing down.
Yeah, they close in slow
And I know what it’s like to stand alone,
In a war with a voice that...
Drowning beneath my thoughts again.
Why can’t I seem to escape this chain?
Every shadow feels the same.
Why’s it feel like the ground’s giving way?
Every move’s just a trap that I’ve made.
Got my mind locked tight, like a cage of flames,
Every step’s just a march through the pain.
Neon lights hum with a haunting sound,

Perfectly intact
I plead insanity.
By now I should have learned.
Happiness is not for me.
I'm here to get burned.
It's so melodic.
My heart drums a sullen beat.
A tempo so despotic.
Victory song of self defeat.
I'm Insufferable.
Thus should suffer being weak.
Designed irreparable.
Another fix is all I seek.
It's narcotic.
Now it wears my skin.
Discordant harmonic.
Bound to kill me from within.
I fill the interim.
Like a space that isn't there.
Shows my delirium.
You're not...

Prisoner Behind My Eyes
I am a prisoner behind my eyes.
Oh! There is no gatekeeper!
I am trapped forever by psychosis.
And there is no quality of life here within.
My mind is a padded prison cell
where restrained, I throw myself into the walls.
I scream for help, but there is no reply.
I gaze on through my eyes to freedom,
but there is no way to signal for help.
Gazing on over the years helpless,
I’ve grown old and cold towards life.
I don’t feel there is a god to protect me.
Oh! There is no gatekeeper!

Feelings lost
Feelings lost
Your hand runs across my face, I feel your tender touch, along my shoulders you're still there, is to wish for more to much
Because I know when you touch my chest, soon sensation will be gone, it left the very moment, my spinal chord went wrong
I can feel you kiss me, see the love and desire in your eyes, but no longer will I feel your hand running up my thigh
No more of your soft Velvet touch, no more simple hand resting on my knee, even though I can see your touch, that's all that's left for me
Broken from the chest...

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
...

Feelings Forsaken
Dirty syringes and rusted scalpels
Unsaid vows and vacant wedding chapels
Charcoal colored roses who have lost its hue
Crossing me will lead you to restless days and sleepless nights filled with rue
Blood spews and incense of death crepts viciously through the bodies of the decomposed
Notes written without a cause left unread and distant memories left unrecognizable to the eye of it's holder destined to be eroded.
Missed phone calls without the simple solice of a voicemail and followed by a missed opportunity that comes once a...

Dissassociation
To crawl into the rabbit hole, and wither away with wonder.
Pulling me under and in, internal inquisition.
Like curling up without a blanket.
Breathing isn't the same.
What should be common sense, I now question.
I find myself sucking all the air I allow myself.
Hypothesized, ionic, blue, electrical current.
Hypnotic engagement, layers.
Down, swirling, spinning, perception, imagination, all flowing.
I try to stop the gravity of flooding awe, but the unraveling mystery alternates my senses.
It seems as though synesthesia, the...

poptarts don't get better with age
I remember being 7 years old
and poptarts being the best breakfast food
ever invented
I'm 40 now and I can barely choke down
the cloying sweetness of the second tart
and questioning my life choices
as to why I thought poptarts would be
a good way to commemorate
this midlife crisis of a birthday
and poptarts being the best breakfast food
ever invented
I'm 40 now and I can barely choke down
the cloying sweetness of the second tart
and questioning my life choices
as to why I thought poptarts would be
a good way to commemorate
this midlife crisis of a birthday

The Pursuit of a Feeling
fuck this fluff shit
I'm sailing out to sea
leaving a place that used to mean
everything to me
long ago it was filled with artistry
sounds of magic bursted though the speakers
moving my body with old lovers
shaking it to the ground
we thought the fun would never stop
surely it could only get better
but we were wrong
I think the last of the sweet fruit
has been plucked
the music was stripped
cheapened and sold for nickels
best to fake a smile
you can't play realism at the clubs
no county for old men
this...
