Self Reflection
Foggy mirrors
In a misty room
Clothed in lemon and rose
Blanketed in heat, as I stand
With a blurred image
I don’t care to see
The mess of me
Scrubbing skin
Dampening my hair
Though I am clean
There is a scum
No sponge has removed
Even coated in perfume
I smell it
An aftertaste, unrideable
Wiping the condensation from the glass
I catch a glimpse of my figure
Still glazed in droplets
Drenched blonde and porcelain
I saw, focusing in
Turning for my towel, until
I lost her ...

Carry the card
In my wallet warm and secure
a bond with others to embrace
no badge to wear, no grinning face
faith, your hearts in the right place
Throw your cape 'or a puddle
know the pain of toil and struggle
throw your hat into the ring
and help the others suffering
Give of yourself while you still live
for blood and tissue to a relative
and humanity be the sacred book
the cross to bear while others LOOK
Depreciate your time sublime
for god will mark your card
as they nailed him to the wood
gave his soul for the...

Metamorphosis
In the mirror of my mind,
It's becoming ever clearer;
As I reflect upon these thoughts,
Which I fought so hard to form:
My brain's a perfect storm—
When the rains comes rolling in,
The thunder and the lightning,
Are sometimes rather frightenin'.
But I will keep on fighting—
And I'm not giving in;
This storm will pass into the past,
And the sun will shine (its light) again.
From the ashes I will rise,
Like a pheonix, to the skies;
And best believe it when I say,
That I will seize the day.
...

My Perfect plan worked so good it ended being my downfall
I fucking stink like cold sweat and rain
The pure stench cannot match my inner pain
Maybe its true what was written on my diagnosis or maybe me trying to get a social security check worked so good that now I'm starting to believe its true losing focus
11 months is all it took for my monthly check now going on ten years
Lost all motivation knowing checks in the mail and feel real shitty when I hear someone who really needs it saying they have been waiting for years
Now I have my check and a reason for people to call the cops on me all the time ...

Exhibition of a fractured drive thru college town apparition
By the starlight of the night I lie
the sun it shines
yet darks the sky
water ripples
feet are wet
mosaic, sapphire, cigarette
hills are shaped by time and seed
my myths are vague
my thoughts are greed
I swam too late
my fears they glide
ghosts carousel my numb bent pride
the sun it shines
yet darks the sky
water ripples
feet are wet
mosaic, sapphire, cigarette
hills are shaped by time and seed
my myths are vague
my thoughts are greed
I swam too late
my fears they glide
ghosts carousel my numb bent pride

Ponderance
Tricky tacky Trembles a most dubious return,
I rest my nightmare(d) eyes
consumed as carcass dinner course menu number two.
the quake of my chest lethargic.
swarmed Bees escape my throat,
are my guts grotesque enough to rake across the buffet?
I lash out as Jaw muscles tense;
tentacles wrapping this inexcusable familiar.
silver spoons clank fine China,
"ALL ABOARD" trainmen call
but my mind's in the kitchen railing Dinah.
the closing of car doors
signifies another evenings end,
I jeopardize my existence ...

A Wondrous Journey
for months I longed, for your words to appear
a chance introduction and we set off chatting
a fated interference, I was helpless only for you to immediately disappear
I hoped in silence, our introduction wouldn’t end up with nothing
sensing the pain you endured as your journey took a detour
that was not by chance, but it’s the fate that you started to make
a lover at his “highness”, a toxicity that left you totally insecure
like crushing waves in the, it’s time you left the negativity at its wake
I saw you suffered, laying down below the...

The Calling Of Destiny
Please listen to this its an awesome inspiration, we all have a story to tell, a time when we need more than words…
This has been my greatest inspiration song from the beginning of attempting to lasso that Master’s Degree in Nursing with emphasis in Forensic Psychology, I am two months from that long winded, tiresome, and self-sacrificing goal.
I can still remember the night I literally got down on my kness after getting out the shower, dripping wet over my Persian carpet, still slightly tipsy off a glass of Moet, and asked my Heavenly...

Oh!
4/30
Gazing upon an object, or
another Person, I will always
make an assumption.
Of what- will depend
on lighting, season, mood...
I know not until the time is upon me.
If only I could see that object or Human,
and what is below the surface.
Undoubtedly fissured, in need of compassion.
For that is where the truth lies.
The true beauty of the very thing that
caught my attention.
Trying to shed these razor sharp fangs
seems only to make them hungrier ...

savoring.
the cool wind rustles
it's the last
of those breezes
that soothe
washing gently over
like silken tickles
allowing a clarity
of mind
body
and
soul
lulling the
night
into a pleasant slumber
and quietly reminding
to be exactly this—
in the moment
aware
intently appreciative
of now
letting tomorrow,
just be—
tomorrow.

Music Passion One
Folk Rock is my comfort zone
when lost and alone
It’s there I find home
if beset by depression
feelings of failure
I rush to my core
and sing some James Taylor
Rock’n Roll
soft or hard
emoting free rebellion
transports me
on bright sweaty stage
where my loyal fans
scream with rabid glee
as I shred
my air black SG
with utter abandon
to AC/DC
Blues
Deep soulful evidence
That many more
than just Jesus and me
know the troubles I see
smarting, hurt from life’s stings ...
