Awakening
Awakeness in a frozen mental frame.
Sending me more mad in the brain.
I seem to want to cut myself off.
Reality so pointless.
Daydreaming so pointless.
My whole awakening of being.
Fractured in the making.
People always taking.
Everything. My life. No dreams.
Just an answer to the questions they scream.
Me. Me.. I'm weightless.
Ready to fly off the edge.
You won't understand.
You're not in this awakening.
You're not on the path.
You won't understand why I want to end it.
Unless you do... then what...

Apocrypha Of The Soul
we can live in our truth
all damned day
but at the end of 'that' day
we always have to juxtapose our truth
with the truth that reigns supreme
as Consequence
yeahhh..we can bask..submerge in our truth
luxuriate in homemade baths
filled with all that opaque lathery nirvana
full of rainbow bubbles..
ohhh..they're sooo bubble-luscious
ain't they?
then ...one by one...
the bubbles begin to pop
bloop....bloop...bloop-bloop...bloop
a series of bloopers begin to flood our
aching...

Smother down
You sad-text me when we are apart.
Your loneliness floods my screen in imagery red and blue, from within the two-dimensional land typically reserved for black and white.
My light, airy way of loving meets the weight of your deep, heavy love each time we find ourselves distanced one from the other.
We talk about the contrast in polite pastels... And yet...
Each comment summons the same blackout feeling I get when head deep, working your cock from underneath the thick down comforter. I'm warm. I love it.
And I can't breathe.

Aware of it all
Silent..
Chill..
You feel..
You're aware of it all...
And you realize
"The space behind your eyes"
Is similar to something like outer space
where there's no trace of time
and faces warp but everything is wonderful.
I'm not an angel
and heaven ain't where I fell from
but I'm just trying to tell my tale as best as I can attempting to allure the soul..
Lose all control
Crawl up out of this hole.
Free once more,
the matrix melts away
"If I say God is alive
I know you wanna know why"
People suffer ...

Shining
Deep within
is where it has always been,
it's real..
It's shining in our soul.
~
We should've never turned our backs
on each other,
like modern day maniacs
or the cretins which still creep around
not facing facts
setting traps,
so set yourself free,
you better see..
before you know it
you're bound to be
transported for eternity,
the universe starts testing
you
try to escape from the game.
Soon to be stressing your life away
regretting everyday.
Selfish and secluded
you...
is where it has always been,
it's real..
It's shining in our soul.

Cycle: Notes of an Online Journal
Cycle”
With the tread a blur
When I pump the pedals ‘round,
And the gentle whir
As I cycle through the town
This dark early morn’
In a fog of muted sound,
Distant thoughts forlorn,
Tiny glimpses lost and found.
Shades of slate surround
All the colors of the past,
Haunt a battleground
Where my fate in Time is cast.
Never mind, I say,
In a caution that I rasp,
Back to where someday
When my journey ends at last.

Eternal
This quiet storm, my blinding light,
has never stopped its rage,
Since I began a maiden flight
Upon the written page.
Forever cleaved a heart & mind,
To sacrifice my tears,
In pieces always hard to find
For all the sleepless years.
And comes a day upon due course,
I’ll turn aside my pen.
Its voice still clear, but I’ll be hoarse,
And rest when I’ve a yen.
I shan’t imagine when it’s time,
I’ll have a little weep.
The final words to set in rhyme,
Then catch up on my sleep.

My NaPoWriMo Voyage
My first week of NaPoWriMo voyage passed by smoothly
Despite the daily bumps along the way
Now I'm on the second week
As I write these eight entry
Twenty two more days of writing for the NaPo month
And still a long way to go to the finish line
A wide stretch of ocean is still waiting to be crossed
That is deeper and darker and could turn turbulent as the days wear on
I am beginning to feel the pressure of this voyage
As uncertainty looms ahead
The harbor is very far from sight
Too far for mooring yet
I'm starting to...

Acidic Nightmares Turned Dreams
When the aches press in you wonder
When the pressure pushes out from within
When your inner light seems a furnace melting hotter
Welding what makes you feel shut and closed in
Tight in your bubble of impermeability
Watching the world pass through your consciousness
As if some strange cinematic trip through a personal Twilight Zone's scrutiny
All the troubles and all the triumphs all the love and all the trespasses
Then like that scene in A Clockwork Orange or a car crash
You try but you can't look away seeing the horrors over and over ...
When the pressure pushes out from within
When your inner light seems a furnace melting hotter
Welding what makes you feel shut and closed in
Tight in your bubble of impermeability
Watching the world pass through your consciousness
As if some strange cinematic trip through a personal Twilight Zone's scrutiny
All the troubles and all the triumphs all the love and all the trespasses
Then like that scene in A Clockwork Orange or a car crash
You try but you can't look away seeing the horrors over and over ...

No_Shoes (instrumental by Mors)
Light at the end of the tunnel beginning to flicker
Penny for a thought and I'm hitting the trigger
Trip out my mind trip out of time
Son of original killers
Wavy in my brain I break shit
Take it for day and play with
I know not what I do
Lost I walk in no shoes
You may think you get to know me
But I do not know myself
Looking up see no blue
Just a ghost with no boo
Tumble when I fall and I pick it back up
Give no fucks Imma freak ya catch me when clean
I snap back on these bitches man
Different...
