Broken Crayons - To My Friend Withers
To my friend Withers ..
The world is a canvas, vast and wide,
And we, like broken crayons, are tossed aside.
With edges cracked, our colours fade,
Yet still, we mark the paths we've made.
Once, we were untouched by sorrow,
Box of crayons, world of endless tomorrows,
Our colours danced across the sky,
Dreams so bright they seemed to fly.
But cruel hands cracked our wax,
Snapping edges, dulling tracks.
Still, we clung to what remained,
Even as our pieces scattered, stained.
Each mark etched deep within our soul, ...

a real honest conversation....
the idea of.... everlasting peace.... time being nothing more than a concept.... knowing.... what it feels to be "loved" truly, deeply, intimately, reciprocation on both sides with ease....
when nothing feels like a sacrifice.... where on "earth" could that be? it's unusually beyond belief.... ego always leads....
"love yourself...." , "they say"; i mean-after all-alone you were conceived- and alone you will decease.... what else do people say? "nothing worth having comes easy...." ...

Field and Stream
In Lego-like snap tight word precision
I find that some to logic are immune
and incapable of bard concision
with their characters so rustically hewn
to typecast themselves with a bumpkin pride
that hunts and fishes the motorsport way
into a future where eloquence died
along with students in a bullet spray,
and then they only act to think and pray
and blame the horror show on mental health
because they WANT all the havoc to stay
in their rapacity for commonwealth
fueled by a hatred of those schools

I'm Sick Of Her!
Kind of sick of my wife
This marriage is getting the best of me
All she does is complain, nag, whine and bark orders
I could divorce her
I could up & leave
I'm just lazy I guess
I zone out most of the time
I'll escape by writing poems or stories
Other times I'll exercise or go for a walk or bike ride
I always keep myself busy
I'm a perfectionist
Our home is always clean, organized and neat
She knows how well I take care of everything and knows she don't need to lift a finger
The one thing she does is cook ...

I wish....things were that simplistic(mental health)
I appreciate the good of this "experience" but there's too many "worldly" complications; some of my vices are escapism, idealism, internalization, suicidal ideation; I dread being an extension of this creation....
contemplating; "rational exit doors"-though guarded-gated-hard to reach places-takes too much patience; truthfully-one deeply feels low-key high-risk-with the exception being nontraumatic situations....
I wish things in this life where simple.... where there's little to no need...

Fear
You can drive a car if you do it right
but you can't go far if it puts you out of sight
you can't look at girls
you can't drink anything
you got to get your kicks in the shadow of fear
You stay out late when they think your young
when they find out, there gonna want you hung
so you try to understand that you might get near
cause your lost alone in the shadow of fear
So you found a chick that you think is fine
but you fell too fast so you lost your mind
society looks, but they turn their ears
you got to get...

The Prisoner
I'm a soldier/
shields up when one draws closer/ a don't care persona/ and yet still sober/
I still feel young but I'm still getting older
Among people and yet still a loner/
I'm functional but still need a doner
I'm a son brother and also father
I have a wife on speed dial but too hesitant to call her
My blessed assurance is the medals on my collar
Also being able to come home and make it rain with coins and dollars
even though I shower and water hits my head instead of feeling alive inwardly I'm still dead
I have a woman I once knew laying...

collage of dreams
half & half- lemonade-iced tea; roaming one plane of existence but yet so many- it's fair to say one believes that one's wide eyed while at the same time in a deep sleep-
where one is- versus where one really wants or feels one's being needs to be-(which would be finally on a "fixed" plane as opposed to knee deep in a collage of many dreams-

MENTAL HEALTH AND ABUSE
It's me again the story teller of words ✍️ FOR I would like to take this time, to have a discussion with you all, about something that has effected us all one way or another. 🤔 For sure we may know of some people's that, are struggling with this disease of the mind and heart and soul. For sure it can be emotionally mentally and physically, to the point of spiritually in mind and soul and heart. WITH suicide thoughts affecting someone's way of thinking. 🤔 For sure let's go deeper than deep, into the ream of abuse whether it's emotionally or physically abuse....

Replay
An agonizing reminder
Echoes with every poke
Triggering a memory rush
Like a replay button
Pausing the present
Muting the voices around
And unmuting those haunting ghosts
The scene becomes full screen
No exit icon to shut it down
Unable to fast forward
To skip my torment
Nor rewind
To save my tape
Bound to watch a trailer
Captured by my lenses
Cursed to relive the celluloid
Frame by frame
Lacerating my unhealed wounds
Forcing me to sequester
Shun everyone
And retreat back...
Echoes with every poke
Triggering a memory rush
Like a replay button
Pausing the present
Muting the voices around
And unmuting those haunting ghosts
The scene becomes full screen
No exit icon to shut it down
Unable to fast forward
To skip my torment
Nor rewind
To save my tape
Bound to watch a trailer
Captured by my lenses
Cursed to relive the celluloid
Frame by frame
Lacerating my unhealed wounds
Forcing me to sequester
Shun everyone
And retreat back...

Eulogy for a Bonsai
I have to come clean as I return to see
your ashen corpse and dried leaves
My survival became more important
than yours, but now I feel badly.
Humans choose to love their own selves more
than anything or anyone they choose to love
Don’t believe what they say in their poems
I loved you because you would wink at me
and tempt me to hear the silent moment
I will never forget your beautiful nebari
Funny, I learned that word when I met you
I put you under the cruel sun and fed you
It worked as long as we...

Incomplete
The only freedom I find I'm in chains
The only normality with the Insane
I feel it coming closer and I have no choice
I feel it coming and it's stole my voice
Living this life I'm better off dead
Living this life is only in my head
I feel it coming closer and I can't stop
I feel it coming closer I can't wait to drop
The only freedom for me I'm a slave
The only freedom for me im living in a cave
I'm only happy when I'm asleep
I can't fix my mind because I'm incomplete
The only normality with the Insane
I feel it coming closer and I have no choice
I feel it coming and it's stole my voice
Living this life I'm better off dead
Living this life is only in my head
I feel it coming closer and I can't stop
I feel it coming closer I can't wait to drop
The only freedom for me I'm a slave
The only freedom for me im living in a cave
I'm only happy when I'm asleep
I can't fix my mind because I'm incomplete
