Losing it.
I want you to hear me...
Come on... feel me...
hear my trembling voice cause my lips quiver with pain...
my hearts bleeding and screaming has got my vocal cords shorted ... I tried to vent but my cutlass is running out of canvas for a cold kiss...
I wish i could love you perfectly ,
show you how much my heart wants your heart to feel like it is being hugged by a soft warm pillow ... as though it was taken out on a picnic with butterflies flattering by that will leave you smiling for a while... that smile like that for a sight for sore eyes ...
But...
Come on... feel me...
hear my trembling voice cause my lips quiver with pain...
my hearts bleeding and screaming has got my vocal cords shorted ... I tried to vent but my cutlass is running out of canvas for a cold kiss...
I wish i could love you perfectly ,
show you how much my heart wants your heart to feel like it is being hugged by a soft warm pillow ... as though it was taken out on a picnic with butterflies flattering by that will leave you smiling for a while... that smile like that for a sight for sore eyes ...

When speech is inadequate
You're so beautiful when your eyes are red- due to all that salt
within those many, many tears.
I just don't feel the ocean, created by its cause.
That knife you hold - so seductive -
the way you press it down your own throat.
So wicked, how it lights up your eyes
makes em sparkle like never before.
Only, I don't feel your despair.
You are yelling at Me, seem to be angry- your attitude is
negative, threatening.
Only, the movement of your lips brought Me into turmoil.
As if enchanted I continue to observe. ...

sunset strip
I’m just not okay.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how blood runs,
and how friends leave you in the middle of the night
I’ve been driving around the Hollywood hills
I’ve been thinking about glamour and sadness and rage.
And that those two are actions that you can practice.
I’ve been understanding that I’ve been leaving parts of me behind
And hating the emptiness that catches up to me.
I pretend that I am a ghost at nighttime
racing down the sunset strip alone
Can’t tell if this chronically low self esteem is hell bent or heaven sent ...

Diary of a deadman 55
I wouldn't kill myself to save my soul.
I'll hang it at the stake to watch it burn it whole.
I wouldn't sell what left for a little bit of hope.
Nowhere close to call this hell a home.
I hate myself, what makes you think I'll ever be in love with you?
I'm selling my soul for another sip of something cold.
To me the story never gets old.
I wouldn't quit to save my soul.
Another day, another dawn.
I'm simply winding down the clock.
A simple dog after a bone.
My salvation Waits for me at the bottom of this bottle.
At the bottom is...
I'll hang it at the stake to watch it burn it whole.
I wouldn't sell what left for a little bit of hope.
Nowhere close to call this hell a home.
I hate myself, what makes you think I'll ever be in love with you?
I'm selling my soul for another sip of something cold.
To me the story never gets old.
I wouldn't quit to save my soul.
Another day, another dawn.
I'm simply winding down the clock.
A simple dog after a bone.
My salvation Waits for me at the bottom of this bottle.
At the bottom is...

king blue.
The moon says
adieu & waves as
the day renews,
the sun blinds his
view as the words
come to spew.
King blue
king blue
king blue.
His ink comes to ooze
on paper instead of
bathrooms, essential
kit for his ongoing
symptoms.
King blue

what will we do
about king blue?

Harm.
Watch the blood form in to little lumps,
Feel your heart as more of it pumps,
It goes from one to three to four,
You can’t stop, just one more?
It starts to sting but the burning comes first,
Little do they know that’s what drives the thirst,
For the first time in forever you feel at ease,
Your mind falls silent, a moment of peace,
The blood drops and trickles down your skin,
A feeling of relief escapes from within,
The scars have sunk deep in to your thigh,
...
Feel your heart as more of it pumps,

Little do they know that’s what drives the thirst,

Your mind falls silent, a moment of peace,
The blood drops and trickles down your skin,
A feeling of relief escapes from within,
The scars have sunk deep in to your thigh,

Sleepless Agony
Another night,
I can barely sleep
If I die before I wake
Let whatever God may
Leave me in a purgatory state
At least it's somewhere and something
That I can actually relate
I'm not overworked
But it's enough
Tired, angry,
Sweet talk oblivion
then get bored
because it's too easy to control
and I get afraid of what thoughts
I can conjure up,
lose grip and forget
on who really channels who
While the visions all around
Crawl to the darkest corner in the room
Taking caffeine every...

The Beauty in Her Strength
Her body was a ruin
time's havoc in plain sight
Her heart a vault
victim to ages of pillaging
Her mind a hospital
tending to injured thoughts
But her soul remained fresh
braving the world with a lover's patience
time's havoc in plain sight
Her heart a vault
victim to ages of pillaging
Her mind a hospital
tending to injured thoughts
But her soul remained fresh
braving the world with a lover's patience

Tomorrow
Time stands still.
A moment; forever.
Surrendering to reality.
The spring light,
piercing through the prisma,
divides the One in many.
We, the children of sorrow,
cry forevermore
into pitch black darkness
that devours each one of us;
divided by lies,
as we continue to feed
our drowning ego,
hoping to still be here
Tomorrow.
A moment; forever.
Surrendering to reality.
The spring light,
piercing through the prisma,
divides the One in many.
We, the children of sorrow,
cry forevermore
into pitch black darkness
that devours each one of us;
divided by lies,
as we continue to feed
our drowning ego,
hoping to still be here
Tomorrow.

Trope Fire
Online profile read
Want someone
To light fire
Am guessing always been
A trait wanted in a mate
Has anybody been able
To do that yet?
Fire cannot be had
Way too hot
Requires swift action
Will consume you
If given half-a-chance
Swallow you whole
Spit you out
Looking different
Than ever before
Blackened, desperate
To resemble self again
Fire, instinctively
By nature is action
Ignition required
Movement inspired ...
