Decay
The tempo slows
The hands run stiller
Filling days with nothing
Only putrescent filler
Prime past long ago
Disease runs rampant
Body attacking body
Pain the only companion
The mind slips also
Slower and slower still
Cell by cell evaporating
Like iron rusted will
Flakes of copper
Drops of silver
Lakes of platinum
Emptying like a polluted river
The hands run stiller
Filling days with nothing
Only putrescent filler
Prime past long ago
Disease runs rampant
Body attacking body
Pain the only companion
The mind slips also
Slower and slower still
Cell by cell evaporating
Like iron rusted will
Flakes of copper
Drops of silver
Lakes of platinum
Emptying like a polluted river

Reluctant
I look to the empty box
white cursor blinking
Sigh
I start the tune app and wait for it to load
I don't want it to
Then Ill have to see the 1st song
Sigh
It's loaded
I stir my coffee for a full minute
In nervous diversion
Pills!
I get up and fill my special cup
1 of these, 1 of these, no 2 of these
1 of these, two of these today
1 of those and 1 of these and skip this one
and this one ...
Check the stash for inventory
Gotta order this one again
Ok back in front of comp ...

Ahead of the Game
So far ahead of the game
I took a hit and stole seconds
never finding my way home, left
standing on base until I finally
called myself out
Sleeping on the railroad tracks
waiting for the night train to kick in
knee deep in shit I can still look up
and say “Damn the stars look beautiful”
as creosote lulls me to sleep
Days are so fucking long but years
are short, a ticking time-bomb exploding
into the hands of death, but he jukes and
I’m face first in the pavement with deep
lacerations and a broken bourbon...

Coming Soon
The medication I must take to ease my mind's condition
assaults my creativity, and I'm out of commission
until the rhyming thoughts return I'll sit here most contrite
crumbling sheets of paper as I relearn how to write

FLOWERS FOR MY GRAVE — BROKEN ROSE
I did not know that indifference
breeds doubt, rain of tears fall
with every blindsight, pest
the proliferation of a heartbreak
Unspoken yet so loud
brick of pride, piling like invisible
walls, severing connection
hands holding, yet not touching
Shedding the scab of pain
skin deep sting gnawing at the flesh
bleeding without the red
this hurt won't go away
Longing for the kiss of the sun
while drowning in the shadows
of a forbidden love, bitter flavored
happiness, a broken rose, unthorned

Uncut the Mid 2020
When the clock stroke eleven fifty-nine
On December twenty nineteenth
Less then a minute for what
Would be the new norm,
Who would have thought,
That was the last “normal”
the world would ever witness.
Each passing of days,
Its more challenging to live
To breath,
The oxygen that freely was given
If humanity would practice more kindness
We would be two steps forward
Then centuries backwards,
The last couple of days,
Hesitant
and pondering on what seem
to be extraterrestrial,
Voices...

Blurred Lines Of Stark Reality
Following the dark down into the filthy gutter
Throwing caution to wind dropping all pretense
Meandering through mind mazes hopelessly lost
Trying to find your self's real core and true sense
No matter the cost ...

Stagnant
Sometimes
the comings and goings blur
and as you gaze at the clouds
pristinely reflected on the pond
you realize:
“I’m the stagnant water”

Unconditional
She stares outside her window,
as days became nights
and light crawls away into blackness,
Men, women and children,
Looting for a piece of bread,
Two to three jobs to pay bills and
complete daily meals,
As sound of need passes through,
As blue is equal to red
her veins aches,
knowing their tomorrow would be the same
just struggles,
She goggled,
Many had chances,
But chose to hide into their comfort,
Not everyone had the same luck
laying in golden cribs, ...

Untethered
Floating in a sea of stars
On a bed of a nebula
In a house of galaxies
Caught in a city of universes
Floating free
Untethered ...
Adrift on the vast ... empty ... cold ...

Close
I watched her walk the length of the bar
She sat near and ordered a neat whiskey
I looked over quite impressed wanting more
She glanced back but looked away leaving me ...
in quiet misery
I watched her walk the length of the bar
Quite impressed and wanting more ...
Watching as seductively her hips swayed
Working their magikly intense sashays
because I wrote her that way ...
