Anxious Poetics
Spun of sugared fables and salted truths
I can easily fall prey to Anxiety's
penitent thoughts.
Watching monochrome yesterday's
and the million tomorrow's
that already haunt.
Feeding Melancholy laughter and smiles
in avoidance of cursed uncertainty
to be Apathy's pitiful child.
Becoming Happy's pretty 'lil liar
while living on stale breaths of courage
'til the taut corset of butterflies flee.
I can easily fall prey to Anxiety's
penitent thoughts.
Watching monochrome yesterday's
and the million tomorrow's
that already haunt.
Feeding Melancholy laughter and smiles
in avoidance of cursed uncertainty
to be Apathy's pitiful child.
Becoming Happy's pretty 'lil liar
while living on stale breaths of courage
'til the taut corset of butterflies flee.

Restrained
I am nothing
A darkness coming
nightmares by the sea
I tried to leave
right into the bliss
no good can come from this
my punishment strained
in death i am chained
my demons create tonight's decision
A darkness coming
nightmares by the sea
I tried to leave
right into the bliss
no good can come from this
my punishment strained
in death i am chained
my demons create tonight's decision

Quiet Hours
In the quiet hours of the darkness I lie
Contemplating, is this where it dies?
We promised to love, promised forever
What I should have done is say, never!
I cannot imagine what life would be
If I just walked away and let it be.
But I definitely cannot stay
To wrestle with this demon every day.
Sometimes its sunflowers and lilies in bloom
And other times I feel impending doom.
What do I do? It's so hard to know.
Do I stay, or do I go?
Contemplating, is this where it dies?
We promised to love, promised forever
What I should have done is say, never!
I cannot imagine what life would be
If I just walked away and let it be.
But I definitely cannot stay
To wrestle with this demon every day.
Sometimes its sunflowers and lilies in bloom
And other times I feel impending doom.
What do I do? It's so hard to know.
Do I stay, or do I go?

If I can't have her no one can
I close my eyes and all I see is this man with a knife and a mission to complete,
if I can't have you no one will
he won't do it himself so he sends a messenger to complete his act
because if he can't have her no one will
a knife in the dark not too sharp but enough to cut
cut into her memory
if he can't have her no one can
shaking and scared she can't hide from what he left inside
no true injuries but a fear she won't ever forget
if he can't have her no one can
she wants to walk away from all she loves to protect them
because if he...

Unspoken
a friend, you call me
yet, i, like an unseen shadow, linger
words trapped inside
leaving silent watches
the "why" echoes unanswered
a whispered voice
you failed, your worries left untold
so i stay here
trapped in my own guilt
a yearning shadow
yet, i, like an unseen shadow, linger
words trapped inside
leaving silent watches
the "why" echoes unanswered
a whispered voice
you failed, your worries left untold
so i stay here
trapped in my own guilt
a yearning shadow

DEAR DAD
Brothers and sisters;
Our dad,
The head of the table.
Dwells in my room every night,
He undresses me everyday
He smiles and promises to be gentle A promise that leaves me buttered inside.
Aunt,
Your brother
Calls me his solace.
He tells me to be calling him
Thomas.
He murmurs as he cry for romance when I say no, he talks about my fees. Instead my legs gaps to make him pleased.
Mom,
Please don’t slap me I'm sane!
There is something about Dad.
Yes your husband
I owe him no respect,
The pot bellied...
Our dad,

A Battle of Faith
It's me again
I touched myself in way I'm not supposed to,
I turned to porn even when I promised I won't do.
Now I feel too guilty to even approach you
I know this is not serving me
I know this not safe for me
The pleasure can't compare to the joy and peace it takes from me.
I hate it, and I hate it more than my fresh love it, feels like a warm hug but it is a bear hug and it is breaking me.
In the depths of my soul, a battle rages on,
A constant struggle, a fight that's never won.
I vowed to walk the righteous path, to never...
I touched myself in way I'm not supposed to,

In the depths of my soul, a battle rages on,

A Hapless Occurence
Who is that knocking at my window
Not real sure
Please don't come in
You can use the front door
Your unappealing
A threat to me
Please don't come near
Let's have a cup of tea
Stay away
How many more times
Please don't come around
Hating you is such a crime
Don't threaten my life
Put away the gun
Please don't approach me
You & I always had such fun
You fatally shot me
Down to one more breath
Please come closer
I'll avoid you through death
Not real sure
Please don't come in
You can use the front door
Your unappealing
A threat to me
Please don't come near
Let's have a cup of tea
Stay away
How many more times
Please don't come around
Hating you is such a crime
Don't threaten my life
Put away the gun
Please don't approach me
You & I always had such fun
You fatally shot me
Down to one more breath
Please come closer
I'll avoid you through death

Wallflower, Dandelion Cosmopolitan a Weed...
Sophistication of none...A young girl cries, then sobs...Teenage pains of selfish views writes another page in a locked diary...Lost keys of open dreams...Lost keys of conversations laced with broken promises...Lost keys to the meaning of life...A secret clique...A party I was never invited to...A party never welcomed to...A party dress of cost less are the back bus riders...Pass of poor, backdoor entrance of no exits. Echelon of a elite stepping ladder...Lightly a tip toe dance towards wanted dreams of chance...Dreams of love & romance...A lifetime unraveling towards...

TWISTED (11:30pm, 6-16-2020, Palm Springs, California)
with every little
twisted fence
or hateful
fear based wall
you build or raise
you burn
a thousand
unseen bridges
to greater peace
to more compassionate understanding
to more empathetic love
and to deeper
universal
more meaningful
healing connection
in this increasingly divisive
near completely disconnected world
so wtf is that
no need to speak to me
nor anyone else
in such egoic vain
hurtfully hostile defense
when in fact
it s lame for me to think ...
