Let's Dance
the path of regrets
shadowed by gloom
thoughts of memories
in closed books remain
walking out closing the door
no more wallow in halls
where sorrow graffiti
decorate walls
out to the vastness
of a sunny world
once more to laugh
Live love sing dance
tea, anyone...?

Your dead lover just walked out the door
Killed him with a kettle bell
And steaming hot coffee mug
Left him bleeding out
Charcoal amongst burning bridges
Smouldering embers blowing in the breeze
Exiting like the gust of a ghost
Baby blue those final chapters
They well and done
And steaming hot coffee mug
Left him bleeding out
Charcoal amongst burning bridges
Smouldering embers blowing in the breeze
Exiting like the gust of a ghost
Baby blue those final chapters
They well and done

Love your YouTuber as you love yourself
.. ... ...
There is nothing left behind me
And I run straight toward an unknown goal
I am lying on the floor wearing a sleeping eye mask
I seem to be on a high-speed train
I am no longer a human being
I love my YouTuber as I love myself
I am doing well... I won't stop obeying this truth
But even those who sleep like angels are being raised
Because content-creators often need sleeping partners
Providing some of the capital for a business
Without taking an active part in managing it
So love your YouTuber as you...

Middle Earth
Sometimes the earth quakes
shakes things up
moves things around
creating, shifting roads
each one different
just like arthritic fingers
Each winding path
filled with spastic water
daring me to dive
daring me to drive
against the waves
against the cars
crashing into me
over and over
each quake
making me work
digging deeper into
Middle Earth
looking for middle ground
the color of white clover
striving for an agreement
signing the year's end...

Solace of a Broken Being
Hello sunshine
That glimmering smile
To help me see
No harm in dreaming
Of better days
Better ways
as I
Climb naked to the mountain top
No shame, balls out
Feel this emptiness
this pain, while I
live with full intent
Everything/nothing to give
Everything/nothing to get
...so be it
That glimmering smile
To help me see
No harm in dreaming
Of better days
Better ways
as I
Climb naked to the mountain top
No shame, balls out
Feel this emptiness
this pain, while I
live with full intent
Everything/nothing to give
Everything/nothing to get
...so be it

Goodbye My Friend
Silhouettes dance by candlelight
on lonely walls and sleepless nights
to harmonies written on wind
no greater pain to lose a friend
Sometimes we meet in lucid dreams
to speak awhile or so it seems
only to lose you once again
as sunlight slowly reaches in
We often thought words unspoken
both of us were slightly broken
I sorely miss you in my days
It seems that nothing ever stays
I wept the day you passed away
thinking through tears what would I say
if only we could speak again
I'd say I love you my...

there's no ghosts here
I hang up washing inside
out of the reaching fingers of rain
that would have us clothesless
for a few more days
He won't come near this room
can barely step inside
without his insides breaking
into emotions you can't lock in a box
I can still see her last breaths here
if I remember to look backwards through time
a nurse of one side of her bed
me holding her hand telling her
it's going to be okay
though she wasn't lucid enough
to know I was lying
I wasn't there for her last breath
maybe I'd...

You do not Have to worry
You do not have to worry
About me any more
You have no idea of what you're writing
When you're adding up the score
You have no idea of who I am
And care so even less
I am more than over you
And have nothing to confess
You don't own the English language
None of the words are now your own
If you treat others, as you have me
You will find youself alone
This is all the time, I'll waste on you
I'm surprised I went this far
I will not mention any names
I know, you know, just who you are
About me any more
You have no idea of what you're writing
When you're adding up the score
You have no idea of who I am
And care so even less
I am more than over you
And have nothing to confess
You don't own the English language

This is all the time, I'll waste on you

I will not mention any names
I know, you know, just who you are

Rose
Carefully cutting away the detritus of last year’s blooms, dead canes, disease.
Ridding myself of the negatives that weigh on my mind depleting my stamina, strength and joy.
Encouraging new growth
Next year’s blooms
Leaving what is healthy and vital.
I choose cuts carefully.
Not burdening myself with malice, anxiety, fear or guilt.
Removing what is harmful out of necessity- cleansing.
Nurturing new, vernal growth in my rose and myself.
So
I can be a better person for those...

how long
do I have -
before your
glazed eyes
greet me
when I pause
to look up
from my page?
each time
I think to myself
~who else is here?~
I’ve spilled every
last drop
of the battle
I suit up for
on any given
Tuesday;
what remains
before I run out
of ways to say
I’m not alright?
~I won’t ever be alright~
but as long as
you’re willing
to watch this
fight to the death,
I’m willing
to put on
a show ...

The Last One
I always loved you and all truth you can't deny it And you have always been the woman, that I choose to live and die with. And to say I didn't love you, that's a lie and don't try it. Yes we would fight and I would yell.
Say things that would hurt your heart and in your eyes the tears will swell. Yes my love you I hurt you ,and you hurt me as well.
You didn't seem to notice that I have feelings, So the pain swelled inside my heart and shit would hit the fan of my mental ceiling. And I know my anger made it worse, but anger was my way of saying that I am hurt. ...

Ship to wreck
Trauma
Immure me deeply
Force your weakness through my veins
Tainting the very heart
that feeds
my skeletal remains
I lay dying here
morosely
Upon this pedestal
I’m frail
No way to elude the voices
Urging me
to not prevail
My tears fall
nonchalantly
To reveal my thinning husk
For those defining me as penetrable
I breakdown most every dusk
I shy away from fawning
Hold my candle to the flame
But when I burn down to the bottom
I know I’ll never be the...
