alchemical
your body holds the score
of all the pain you bore before
you found the strength
to fight these crimes of treason
is it not overkill?
we’re stepping through the blood we’ve spilled
staring into the eyes of an unexpecting victim
the shackles of shame have become my grave
can I hold on to my faith?
or is it written in my fate?
the lies they told me lacerate
stripping me down to the core of my pain
can I let go of my blame?
another season another game
we are not the same. I am the rain
seeping...
of all the pain you bore before
you found the strength
to fight these crimes of treason
is it not overkill?
we’re stepping through the blood we’ve spilled

the shackles of shame have become my grave
can I hold on to my faith?
or is it written in my fate?
the lies they told me lacerate
stripping me down to the core of my pain
can I let go of my blame?

Yin & Yang
It’s yin and yang,
the dance of light and dark,
each needing the other
to keep life balanced.
We tug at the threads of blame,
claiming truth on either side,
but in reality—
neither of us is always right
nor always wrong.
We move through life,
clutching at self-preservation,
yet sleepwalking in the shadow of our own minds,
unaware of the darkness we fear.
If you fear your shadows,
know this—
you haven’t touched divinity yet,
there’s still more of you to...
the dance of light and dark,
each needing the other
to keep life balanced.

A Mysterious Existence
let us toast
toast to all the possible versions of ourselves
all in one but still only one
the ones who died
the ones we chose to ignore
the ones we let slip by
there is only us
the current
the now
in all the possibilities this is who we are
this is where we are
I chose this
my actions past defining my future
Is this the best one?
can the others help guide me
I pray and beg
cast in a world of feeling
in a world of thought
a world of choices
which is...

The deception behind the mask
Man to woman and Woman to man let's be serious about, that scenario of what is happening in today's, in society of people's and there true intentions. 🤨 For sure don't we deserve to have something, that is real evidence of love and honor and respect. 💯 FOR sure what would you rather have in your life and world, don't you think that you are worthy of that, kind of devotion and truth and genuine honesty and trust. 💯 For now let's take it farther than that in each relationship, whether good or bad did you feel that you were getting that in return, 🤔 of that what...

(47) Laced Up Thoughts 01.11.2025 @ 12:04am
This lifestyle doesn’t get any easier.
Lately I feel very distant from life.
Will I ever run out of things to write?
Can you tell I’m high as a kite?
Dashed off Crenshaw Blvd last night.
Dwelling on life and everything in sight.
My addiction has kept me from the life I want.
I feel depressed as I continue to be truthful.
I’m an open book.
I’ll tell you just about anything.
Some things will have to die with me.
Certain things we can only take to the grave.
I can’t truly say I believe in an afterlife.
In the case...

Just let me be
Sometimes I wish I was invisible
Far away hidden from the view
Of those to whom I seem so visible
Those who prey on the sensitive and make you ashamed of being you
I try to make myself small
So as not to get their attention
But their cruelty always comes to call
No insecurity, no fault or flaw they won’t mention
Their words are like dementors draining the soul out of me
Too this, too that, taking me to task
Would they feel better if I ceased to be
All these people for whose opinion I didn’t ask
Betrayal always...

Struggling Autisms
Struggling to function in a world that's dysfunctional
Struggling to view the face in the mirror
Struggling with the concept of existence
Struggling with the impermanence
Struggling to kick certain habits
Struggling to look you in the eyes
Struggling with these little conversations
Struggling with the flow
Struggling out of time
Struggling to view the face in the mirror
Struggling with the concept of existence
Struggling with the impermanence
Struggling to kick certain habits
Struggling to look you in the eyes
Struggling with these little conversations
Struggling with the flow
Struggling out of time

The Girl Who Tells The Relentless Truth
Love me or hate me, I'm gonna be me.
Princess Alia/Diana Rose.
Princess of Hell and Earth.
I give you Earth by tending to the dying Garden of Eden as the Modern Day Eve.
I give you Hell by telling you the relentless truth you don't wanna hear.
Wanna hear you're a fat loser who needs to get off their ass and staying playing video games and eating cheetos in your mother's basement?
I'll tell you.
Wanna hear that you're a fat bitch who needs to stop endlessly complaining about why you're so...

It's another year in my life
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️. 111 It's here at this moment in my life with another year in my life, coming that I am truly grateful and thankful and blessed. To be able to see another day in my life. For tomorrow is a blessing for me, on my 66 birthday. 🎉🎂 For sure it's on this day I silently reflect upon my life, as I journey and travel and walk the last four years of my own life. FOR let's go back to 2002 when I had a spinal infusion and I was unable to walk, 😭 or stand on my own two feet alone. 😔 IT was that moment in...

Make Believe
I fall asleep in a spiral
Fetal, lucid like a bad dream
I fumble in this recital
Locked in a self-destructive scheme
Renegade in ways which matter
On waves: a suicidal fiend
I can taste and still feel hunger
Obfuscate, torn enough to bleed
Hopscotch in this sunset divide
A cataclysm at the seams
A pop-up meadow override
Three-in-a-row my enemies
Wake me up from my fantasies
Lay me to rest as casualty.
Fetal, lucid like a bad dream

A cataclysm at the seams
A pop-up meadow override
Three-in-a-row my enemies
Wake me up from my fantasies
Lay me to rest as casualty.

Wind haiku sonnet
The wind whispers past
it flows as it does daily
a song synced as one
Music in the trees
sense the melodies within
they play on and on
Moment of stillness
the message is always there
go see for yourself
Nature wastes no time
the sacredness includes you
the same as all life
Look up to see the mirror
every being reflects you
it flows as it does daily
a song synced as one
Music in the trees
sense the melodies within
they play on and on
Moment of stillness
the message is always there
go see for yourself
Nature wastes no time
the sacredness includes you
the same as all life
Look up to see the mirror
every being reflects you
