Ghost in the shadows
The ghost floating in the shadows
unhinged all the catastrophes
falling like raindrops and wrecking balls
until none of it was my fault
wandering endlessly
through rows of chest high sweet corn
while the soundtrack of life fades
plant it grow it up mow it down
start all over again and again
callouses on my hands
remember the empty bellies
the ghost floating in the shadows
laughs and laughs and laughs
unhinged all the catastrophes
falling like raindrops and wrecking balls
until none of it was my fault
wandering endlessly
through rows of chest high sweet corn
while the soundtrack of life fades
plant it grow it up mow it down
start all over again and again
callouses on my hands
remember the empty bellies
the ghost floating in the shadows
laughs and laughs and laughs

And yeah, so what
this year may as well
be some microwave
dinner nobody really
wants to indulge in
soaking through plastic,
laden in aromas screaming
please throw me out now
and trust me, i'm waiting
for that garbage brigade
to press that button down
so I can watch it begin
crushing to death.
I already know what
everyone around me
will collectively say
"it might get better
in a few months"
please know, as
this year rolls on
it's not going to
get any easier ...

Nihilism
Nothing, of terminable being, will ever make sense
Illusions of meaning, are just a delusional defence
Humanity's dysfunctional and will lie, to keep sane
It needs order from chaos and something to blame
Life is a mistake, for it's where the ghosts are alive
Infused with corporeality and an ambition to thrive
Sooner than later though, all will return to the end
Merely traces of ex-entities, with nowhere to wend
Illusions of meaning, are just a delusional defence
Humanity's dysfunctional and will lie, to keep sane
It needs order from chaos and something to blame
Life is a mistake, for it's where the ghosts are alive
Infused with corporeality and an ambition to thrive
Sooner than later though, all will return to the end
Merely traces of ex-entities, with nowhere to wend

the Gates of the Sun
The soul never really ascends
It's merely regurgitated
And swallowed up again
Like a Cosmic Cat
Hocking up a hair ball
All the while
Continuing to preen
Call it reincarnation
I call it a rigged wheel
Where the House always wins
And you never break even
Just keep losing
More and more of yourself
And yet
Never reduced to Nothing
So you can keep coming back
To feed the Beast
Promises of an afterlife
Haunt your present life
Holding...

FLOOD GATE.
SOMETIMES THE SADNESS IS LIKE A
FLOOD GATE . ONCE IT IS OPEN
EVERYTHING IS DECIMATED WITH THIS ACHE .
IT IS A TIDAL WAVE RUSHING IN TO FILL
UP THE CRACKS AND YOU ARE SOAKED.
YOU ARE COLD TOO AND YOU SHAKE .
THAT IS WHAT GRIEF CAN DO IT TAKES
YOU BY SURPRISE AND WITH A
FEROCITY THAT BITES THROUGH
BONES AND EVERY SINEW OF YOU
AND YOU WAIT QUIETLY FOR YOUR
INSIDES NOT TO BREAK .
AND YOU BITE DOWN HARD ON YOUR LIP TO STIFLE THE CRY OF FEELINGS YOU DON'T LIKE • YOU PRAY FOR A MIRACLE THAT YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF EVERY...

"Poetic Justice "
aspirations to engage the right side of this brain as much as the left; there are blockages that occasionally make me want to literally bull rush my head- into concrete wall....
as if I could ever express or manifest something at all so profound that it resurrects necessary spirits from the dead- to somehow help magically bring about a way to save those that were never meant for this earthly🌎 existential dread....
because no matter where one goes- there one is; a species bearing witness to...

There will be challenges
Have you ever wondered is it possible to be able to separate thyself, from the negativity and drama with it's deepness of inner vibes. Filled with hurt and pure confusion and drama and madness, that will have you going completely insane. 😮💨 For sure it's necessary to be able to share, our thoughts and insight and bring, honest and truth into the realness of a true relationship. AS it is with a strong commitment and real consistency. To do what you say you came into my life to do, and be able to prove that to me, as man to woman as I prove myself to you, as woman to man....

Pull Me Under
I’ve been through a storm in a raging sea,
Beaten and battered by nature’s fury,
Lost in darkness as far as I could see,
The tempest was my soul’s judge and jury.
I’ve been blinded by the dreadful lightening,
Hanging on in the depths of the unknown,
Pummeled by monster waves it’s quite frightening,
Scared and terrified that I was alone.
I’ve been stranded in grim situations,
Losing faith and hope tossed in the vastness,
And then I felt a swift indignation,
Facing death my fear turned into madness.
I’ve screamed at...

A Bit Player In A Wayward Dream
I sometimes wonder
Whether
I'm just a figment
Of someone else's imagination
A non-existence
A bit player, in a wayward dream
I'm only real
Because the dramer perceives me as real
Therefore, i'm left questioning my own existence
Living within another surreality
Perhaps i'm a fairy
That believes in humans
But sees them as alien creatures
My ethereal escape
With wings
To float on the breezes
Thus avoiding the tempestuous storms
That lurk within the teacups of doubt
Of the nightmarish...

Extinction level event
something necessary but can't say that im here for; something that one definitely couldn't prepare for;
a permanent closure- due to Pandora's box; an epic failed creation from ones' so called god; spawning left and right are ball and chain timed bombs;
when will it all cease- all the violence, greed?- manipulative society-for the sake of "dying" "free"?; a literal apocalypse- that shakes the trees; to break the reality- of make believe;

astronauts & aliens
out of sight- out of mind; not in trouble- how I like; some expectations are too high; so many times- i feel I've "died";
a ladder that ones' forced to climb; I'm living for a different high; a "space cadet" I am for life; I'm out of place with gravity- an "outter space" is what one seeks;
here on earth- there's flack recieved; haunted here- with tragic themes; there's crap in "dreams" that crashes sleep;
perhaps no earthly place to seek- where it's safe...

X Axed
Ironic
That the letter X
As the first letter
Is hardly x-rated
It's use now
Seems a little dated
Xanadu, and xylophone
No longer alone
Could easily begin with an S
And x-ray, and x-rated
Soon to be ex-rated
Without excess
Now the ex x
