no good deed goes unpunished...
without warning it came
no breeze to betray movement
no subtle mumbling below breath
just the sound of lash striking flesh
and a residual ringing still echoing
the soft rhythmic pattern of retreating steps
no trace evident
like wisps of mist…
…adrift…
…wafting through dense fog
nothing to be seen
reeling in confusion
nothing making sense
words fell on stoppered ears
willfully muffled to sound
as eyes averted to painted skies ignored reality
loving smiles once graciously gifted
arms felt wrapped in warm...

I'll pretend like society isn't nothing more than a vain existence....wished that was a reasonable opinion; ultimately one's just another number listed....
the "game" has been hacked, jammed packed; peace hijacked; escape seems to be the best way of living when you're bombarded, isolated or feel attacked....

WORTH
Listen mate,
you can hide your silver in dirt
but it won't tarnish,
unlike the human mind.
think about it.
You say you're in love?
First of all,
is she in love with you too?
or is it you two???
*laughs out loud*
Lord have mercy!
Wait a moment,
Must you be the one to hold her?
you wanted to be the only one,
right?
Not to bash you but
...is that possible even?
Truth be told,
She's just an ordinary whore.
..and whores rarely think about love,
I'm afraid.
Dude, ...

Definition Of Human
Looking for a home, the information never even reaches them. People are looking for a family throughout their whole lives, as the human is a pack spirit. Along the way trying to make plain existence cozier. They are good people, lost in a void of opinions, that are everything yet nothing. Lost underneath the street lamps and digital shadows. However, facing hardships together, they spend their time greater than the monarch above.
One by one people lose their trust, and justice dies in rust. Anyone can steal esteem, letting that thief roam free. You can ruin anything, and...

Clean Slate
You can’t build a solid foundation upon a pack of lies, and then, expect it to nourish & nurture you, boundlessly.
Wrong, cannot be undone, and that’s something we all know, and oft take for granted in the moment.
Immature love says I need you, but what the fuck for, when mature love wants you. The latter doesn’t inspire codependency like the other.
Only the weak seek to control another through codependency, unaware that control is just an illusion.
You may think you have control but you don’t, particularly if you have no control over your...

suncatcher
in the bitter broken dawn, I awoke bent on destruction
anarchy in my eyes curses on my tongue
the day spoke gently to me about truth
I wouldn't heed its call
hellbent I'd made up my mind
I would have things my way
the day tormented me but I was relentless
I chased down the sun intent on catching it
you can't capture the sun's wisdom or bend it to your will
the day was bright with optimism it mocked me in my scorn
a lonely misfit born of want
the sun set rules for the day

Not To Be Had
I call him
either “C” or
Charles
and I’m either “bitch” or T
ironically, I've been introduced to a friend
who goes by the name of Albert; never
before have I made such an acquaintance
or ever had any such pleasure
shocking, yes
but it’s true...I swear...
despite all I’ve had and
still got - we’re all getting to know
each other and right now I’d have to say...
“quite well”
is what would sum that right up
yet, a certain someone comes into mind
he ultimately, may want to meet;
a playmate...

INTO LIFE WE TURN and FALL (11-15-04, Sunrise, Galveston Island, Texas)
in our collective
humanity
each of us
are slowly
spun
turned
and formed
revised
and honed
finessed
by lifes
perpetual lathe
as its
constant
silent blade
gradually shapes
evolves
transforms
us all
along
our journeys way
into
too seldom
ever truly
fully understanding
who we
wholly are
but rather
at least
into
eventually learning
who we are
continuously
becoming
with each
of us
in our
last breaths ...

Remembrance
A hopeful sanctuary within,
Death gives new meaning.
In my domain, abomination,
Left in nothing but a ruin.
A tragedy spills a poison
Not all lie need a meaning.
In my domain, abomination,
Take everything, left in ruin.
Hold my life in your eyes,
Let the word spill,
Watch me die.
Take everything, why don't you try,
Blood in your eyes,
I know when you lie.
Drown in the poison,
You don't need them anymore.
Drown in the poison,
They are not here anymore.
The sun burns brighter, ...
Death gives new meaning.
In my domain, abomination,
Left in nothing but a ruin.
A tragedy spills a poison
Not all lie need a meaning.
In my domain, abomination,
Take everything, left in ruin.
Hold my life in your eyes,
Let the word spill,
Watch me die.
Take everything, why don't you try,
Blood in your eyes,
I know when you lie.
Drown in the poison,
You don't need them anymore.
Drown in the poison,
They are not here anymore.
The sun burns brighter, ...
