Shame
When I stripped myself bare
of this vanity I hate
I was naked in my
insecurity
My audacity
masks my powerlessness
sometimes my pride
and discouragement
swing so fast
I cannot see
I cannot see myself
So, I use everyone
as my mirror
when I search for myself
I'm not there
like an apparition
I am a mirage
a fleeting rainbow
mere appearance
I look in the mirror
and all I see
is no thing
of this vanity I hate
I was naked in my
insecurity
My audacity
masks my powerlessness
sometimes my pride
and discouragement
swing so fast
I cannot see
I cannot see myself
So, I use everyone
as my mirror
when I search for myself
I'm not there
like an apparition
I am a mirage
a fleeting rainbow
mere appearance
I look in the mirror
and all I see
is no thing

Conversations with the Mirror
Just stop, stop thinking
Everybody’s got problems and you never listen
Whatever is it that you think you are going through
It’s never as big as you think it might be
You’re reasons are stupid and you like to feel useless
But the truth is you’re just a deviant with a million excuses
Stop speaking your mind, cuz you’re mind’s a mess
you’ll do anything for pity and distress
Plastic highs and questionable lows
Don’t you feel shame when you put on your show
Just fucking stop, stop all this bullshit
Just do it alone, and not feel...

Stop speaking your mind, cuz you’re mind’s a mess

Cage the flora and fauna :i can still feel them crawling under my skin
Enshrined on a pedestal of particular stature
glint shining glimmer wroughted iron souvenir I keep as mine
coo coo a pine warbler eats seed as feathers rattle in easternly defense
is it with nesting we've grown comfortable
stick and twigs and twats and pricks
a cursed ringing in my left ear
smashing in my heart that sounds like hate hunkered in a corner
lashing out at an ever sprawling metro world
picking auburn pine needles out from our rested trousers
slashing blue sky clouds taking shape of melatonin aviaries
can I...

Call of Fate
Opportunity always comes early but I’m running late,
And I wish I could find the desire to celebrate,
But the more I think about it, I cant relate,
Stampeding horses burden us with earthquakes.
The call of fate is always powerful,
But when things don’t work out it’s never our fault,
We seek the answers to our misery,
But maybe it’s all in our history.
If a man came calling and asked me what I wanted,
The things I want would have to be confronted,
Procrastination of evolution
would bring the halt of revolution,
And could...

Specialty fragments tucked, sniped, and beveled :how she digests and breaks down in my system
I
unrolled
unfurled
as a crisp bag of warm plastic back alley drugs
pulled from a sedans glovebox
when licked
she transformed me
into a free spirit white sheet from the T.V. laundry commercials
wafting of southern mountain rain
blowing in purple lilac and wildflower breezes
updraft from the valley below
descending from glorious patched mountain ranges
ambient
a fiend for her dimple glass bottle rim
clearly labeled "POISON"
turned up to savor each drip...

Coming Before The Quivers Of A Quiet Storm
Coming before the quivers of the quiet storm
Eyes closed, breathless in the intake
Instilling the depth of self-love ramification as I lay in the throne of my humbly madness
Emotionally purifying me, unto my temple, a beautiful flush permeates the flow of slow drips
Spiritually falling I become the epitome of releasing until the ether
Seeking to destroy life toxics that has dethroned the essence of my body
Draining the residue that seek to hide, to weaken, to impact
Mm... as my burden lessens who each stream of pleasure, I solemn release...

Quell me with a club like you do those baby seals
Gas chamber language

emptiness suits me

Eminentia
sliding like honey
when there’s time,
in those stolen moments
in broad daylight -
it’s not right;
but I’m here, all the same
because my selfishness
has no bounds
and I want to be sorry,
but I’m not
this Aries’ fury burns
way too bright,
and I’ve never been good
at dimming my flame -
the essence yet restrained
will still consume you;
I know it and I don’t care,
even though
I often wonder if I should
forgive me if I’m spitting
all over you;
it’s a hard habit to break, ...

Perseverance
No one sees the battle going on inside,
No one recognizes the twists the turns you make.
Think they know you do they?
They haven't scratched the surface yet.
They think you're crazy,
They think you're out for something more.
But no one sees the inside,
No one notices the war.
That's just it though,
They treat you like glass,
And that's what you become.
They push and push,
Until you come undone.
They expect you to be pure,
They expect you to be true.
But with all that, they've created,
How can...

In The Span of Flight
There were times
when I would float
like a runaway balloon
escaping the herd
bopping along
silently
waiting for someone
to reel me in
with a quick tug
of the attached string
to claim temporary ownership
of this restless spirit
until properly deflated.

I conduct myself: call it wiggle room
Pulling chapped bottom lips down around town
peeling back
cracking in examination
where teeth meet
pink vulnerable delicate Cadillac gum lines
diceable tissue
I masturbate between calls
swell in prolific desire
a pulse
cat calling Death
sucking shame from a straw
until empty slurping echo's throughout the room
eyes shower and lather in suds
wire brush me off as skin in bubbles blooming buds
give verbal passcodes
access granted
strip my dignity for money
slut shame devotion doused in...

on death
one thing
I've learned
is to cherish
your time
enjoy the rain
and the shine
'cause folks
come
and go
like the wind,
and when
they perish
they leave you
walking this
earth all
alone.
