THIS WORLD, HAS BECOME COLD
Here I am sitting here beside a warm fire watching the world, as it changes before my own eyes. YET it seems to become even more and more, aggressive with the passing of time. AS it gets colder as the days go by through the senseless, process of the motions of corruption and murder, leaving behind in it's wake of the dead bodies of memories, of yesterday of those who have gone goodbye. For sure I wonder will we survive, from the deepness of the raw and uncut actions. Just acts of betrayal from the government of UNTRUTH, that came with more lies and false promises. For will we have a better...

Ripples
Ripples on a pond
Mind doesn’t respond to nature in you
Center mind body your vertebral
Silence Stills the evil in my spirit
Hear the ring of peaceful
Tapping in a bowl that resembles me
Clear your mind don’t think about you
Cerebral in your core
Ripples run around they don’t define you
Find a corner to put all this disorder
Into view what does it mean to me
It leans into my being my desires
They ripple on the pond
It leans into my desires
...
Mind doesn’t respond to nature in you
Center mind body your vertebral
Silence Stills the evil in my spirit
Hear the ring of peaceful
Tapping in a bowl that resembles me
Clear your mind don’t think about you
Cerebral in your core
Ripples run around they don’t define you
Find a corner to put all this disorder
Into view what does it mean to me
It leans into my being my desires
They ripple on the pond
It leans into my desires

Job Application
How many mornings can there still be ahead?
How much morning do you still want to find in my body?
Forgive me for asking you unusual questions...
Forgive me for being out of the ordinary!
Write me endless letters, when we are far away,
with endless letters and diverse meanings.
Stop being mean to me for so long.
Let me wake up far from the edge of the bed...
For such a long time and so often for no time at all.
How much morning do you still want to find in my body?

Let me wake up far from the edge of the bed...
For such a long time and so often for no time at all.

The Portrait of The Poetaster as a Man - Book V - Ingrained Attitudes
I do not know if they are attitudes
Or if indeed they are, if they're ingrained,
They might just be a form of prejudice,
Or false assumptions, those to which I jump.
They may not have a name, but they exist,
And are the kinds of thoughts I'm drawn towards
When it were best to show uncertainty:
It's these, my first impressions guide me wrong.
Although they seem to be quite innocent
These thoughts and attitudes can lead astray:
And thus I will confound the false for real
And take exuberance for beauty too.
With this mistaken filter,...

Villain
Stricken by sickening limerence
Not a moment of rest ever since
My dreams devoured by your presence
Made so much worse by your innocence
Accidental catastrophe
Hellbent on subsuming me
It’s my own God damned tragedy
I’m lost in a labyrinth of loneliness
Every turn sending me further in
Cursed to yearn for the unobtainable
This realization is indigestible
You’re the beauty and I’m the beast
Only this is no children’s fairy tail
Your splendor garners endless attention
My hunger evading my tries...
Not a moment of rest ever since

Make a change
If the time doesn't arrive when I'm alone,
and it seems I don't have the one to call my own
Don't feel that you should journey, to change my side around,
when it is that I'm higher than I'm down
If the sky trips through the dawn my way of black,
and it seems that I have no way of turning back
The way that I am facing is not going unbound,
when it is that I'm higher than I'm down
I'm no friend to a place of what I am,
when people say that I am not just what I can
They just don't understand me, I am the way I am found, ...
and it seems I don't have the one to call my own
Don't feel that you should journey, to change my side around,
when it is that I'm higher than I'm down
If the sky trips through the dawn my way of black,
and it seems that I have no way of turning back
The way that I am facing is not going unbound,
when it is that I'm higher than I'm down
I'm no friend to a place of what I am,
when people say that I am not just what I can
They just don't understand me, I am the way I am found, ...

Goodbye again
Goodbye again.
Things we seek aren't what they seem.
Happiness in August.
Colors in September.
Void...
Black and grey back and forth day after soulless day.
Did you really think this cycle was different?
Oh, dont be so difficult mark.
Cast down into forbidden memories and moments;
Colors and splashes and patches from bruises.
Wonder yesterday.
Pain today.
Empty tomorrow by filling this moment.
The blade, the matches, I don't play with fire.
Escape the world by tempting fate.
Do you wish for karma to come out and play? ...

Portrait of the Poetaster as a Man - Book IV - Complexities of occupation
In recent years I've worked in offices
And baulk at finding their environment
A social one that's harsh in attitude
Requiring skills that I do not possess.
A competence for which I have to work
Is social grace, that sought ability
To say hello and gain a kind reply,
Or use the universal gift: small talk.
I fail to make attempts at light exchange
And when I make attempts they miss the mark,
Ignoring conversation's interplay
My void words isolate themselves and me.
And thus my lame attempts to interact
Akin to walking on a...

The Portrait of a Poetaster as a Man - Book III - Squandered Opportunities
Say, what should be if it should come to pass
That child of yours abandons favourite themes
Not through their inclinations or their wish
But through a strong parental influence?
What if a father were to use a bribe
In order to encourage his own child
To choose a course and university
Because that's what he wished that he had done?
What were a child as ignorant of worth
To see this bribe as motivating cause
In blithe decision as to what's the best,
In choosing matters that mould things to come?
Ignore the questions, as this came to...

The Portrait of the Artist as a Poetaster - Book II - Objective state and hope
I have married three times above my state
(And cohabited as marriage requires);
If they were wives of Windsor they were not
Made merry having chosen me to wed.
The failing mine in each - my illness was
My fault, exacerbated by a mind
Persisting with the thoughts of malady
Beyond recovery - well yet unwell.
The wives that took the marriage vow were each
Aware of my acute and chronic faults
Although reality perhaps surprised
Their poor foresight, then ill-equipped for ills.
Not learning, it's as if I retrogressed
In passing each...

Portrait of the Artist as a Poetaster - Book I - Incompleteness of self
I will attempt comparing you with me
Although in this I feel unable to
As there's no common frame of reference
And this a feeling I should emphasise.
Plainly said, I am me and you are you,
Sometimes united by an "us" or "we" -
But these few words disguise a complex world,
The communality of human kind.
I'm mystified as to relationships
Of self and other, straight perceiving strife
And differences in place of that concord
Which leads to mutual aid and harmony.
Most differentiate or distinguish
Themselves from...

Excerpt from my diary: I keep blaming it on my diagnoses
Other people seem so strong to me until I don’t handle them properly and with care and they shatter into little bits everywhere and I’m constantly stepping on the shards and making my feet bleed.
I am trying to absorb the loneliness as a positive thing, for my own benefit, as a lesson but I don’t want to or can’t absorb it maybe because there’s nowhere for it to go but inside of me or on paper
