Contemplations On Which Is Better or Worse; Stayin' or Leavin'
I remember how you used to tell me that you loved me, almost every day -
But now you just say "I love you" reflexively -
You used to kiss me like you truly meant it -
But now you kiss me as though it's more of a forced habit than a desiring want -
I remember how we promise we'd never go to bed angry -
But now it's all we ever do as of lately -
That's even if we go to bed together all anymore -
And whenever we go to bed together you turn me away as though you resent me -
Which has made me wonder do you resent me?
I mean do you honestly...
But now you just say "I love you" reflexively -
You used to kiss me like you truly meant it -

I remember how we promise we'd never go to bed angry -
But now it's all we ever do as of lately -
That's even if we go to bed together all anymore -
And whenever we go to bed together you turn me away as though you resent me -
Which has made me wonder do you resent me?

Pretty please with cherries on top
I wish to feel, I am King amongst the worms.
I wish to feel, I am the Prince of the peasants.
I wish to feel, I am a King of losers.
I wish to get, a taste of your Heaven.
But who am I, to dream of such riches?
Who am I, to ask for more?
Who am I, to presume to reach for you?
Who am I, but a walking, talking, creature of contradictions?
Now I am simply, your poor whore.
So let me be free, to make a choice.
Let me be free, to turn up the noise.
Let me be free, to scream it out!
Please don’t tell me, to keep my...

Untamed
Untamed, my heart
walks through
the ruins
of fallen walls,
betrayed by love
as the summer sun haults.
Uncherished,
I chain my soul,
to enduring lies,
that foolishly,
my fantasy upholds.
Disenchanted
are the dreams of those
who wander,
restlessly searching,
to sate their needs.
Yet they forget
the faithful beings who,
devoted, subsided to them,
without judgment or greed.
So farewell, I bid,
to hope and trust;
be it remembered ...

2019 Can f**k Off
Strip me back
bare to the marrow
pins
needles
hollow skeleton
empty
ribcage
where corazon
used to
hide
Hammering my coffin
a nail at a time
laying
drenched
black and white
side of rainbow
feeling like Emotos rice
the neglected and hated jars
Out running the dusk
catching the dawn
the sun kissed the moon
once
luna danced
during the day
now sol fades
bare to the marrow
pins
needles
hollow skeleton
empty
ribcage
where corazon
used to
hide
Hammering my coffin
a nail at a time
laying
drenched
black and white
side of rainbow
feeling like Emotos rice
the neglected and hated jars
Out running the dusk
catching the dawn
the sun kissed the moon
once
luna danced
during the day
now sol fades

Sweet poison
Sapphire dreams,
illusion in a net.
Bitter taste
of subtle poison;
the precious wine
masks the taste of death.
We breathe in,
as the intoxication
takes it course;
a journey never-ending,
until we fall off the horse.
We slide into oblivion,
drowning more and more.
Our sins will be our tokens
as we subside forever, deeper,
into the earth's tender core.

Second Love
And I feel you are where I once was,
Eyes open wide, dancing in the dust,
In the height of a kingdom streams color across
A world for so long gray.
But how can my eyes open wide again
For the very first time, as they did then?
My place now’s to let them half-close
And bask in the luxury of being loved.
And I can’t wait until you break
And blink as if you just awoke
To find the build-up of you broke,
That history begins today.
How strange not to be the one chasing after the comet
With all I can give. How strange...
Eyes open wide, dancing in the dust,
In the height of a kingdom streams color across
A world for so long gray.
But how can my eyes open wide again
For the very first time, as they did then?
My place now’s to let them half-close
And bask in the luxury of being loved.
And I can’t wait until you break
And blink as if you just awoke
To find the build-up of you broke,
That history begins today.
How strange not to be the one chasing after the comet
With all I can give. How strange...

The City That Sways
Bolsonaro
What you are is what
you control
YouTube
This whole world is a
missed connection
Homeland
Sitting up in dark apartments
As far from the mainstream
As you’d ever be
Sweet Prince
Two feet on the ground,
Quinn’s dead, and there
Would be no third chances
CBS
You’re facing lifelong
humiliation for
A paltry check
Wilson Park
Absence makes the heart
Look somewhere
else
What you are is what
you control

This whole world is a

Sitting up in dark apartments
As far from the mainstream

Wanting You So Bad....
I want you so bad.....
….can't even put it into words
don't know how to come to grips
with these feelings that I have
each and everyday
opens with a thought,
a dream
your image in my head
something about your presence
makes me just want to hold you
in my arms for all times
fulfill your dreams,
right all the wrongs
give you rest my beautiful wildflower
shelter you from
the “arrows by day”,
the “terrors by night”
loving you......forever
and I want you so...
….can't even put it into words

ELEVATION NOT WITHSTANDING
Through stain teardrop eyes I cry my hurt with my tears down the side of my face as my emotions pour within my soul of souls as I have become intoxicated, with the infusion of my heart of hearts dripping into my spiritual being as those feelings I once felt slowly reappears, within the depth and deepness of my spiritual soul reopening up old scars that were once healed through the process of time.

17. I'll never bee kissed
Every weekend, Humble would go to the same bar,
In the same part of the hive, with the same group of mates.
He always went on the same Friday night and nothing ever changed.
Until one day there came message that The Pollinator band,
Were playing a gig outside the hive at Bee Pride
And as Humble arrived, he saw all the honey-fungus mushroom lights!
There was a huge crowd, so Humble pushed his way through
And eventually he made it to the front.
Some bees were drunk, some babes were happily screaming
And there, stood next to Humble, was a...

4am in dispute.
You're always too
busy with your nose in that
stupid black book while holding
that pen of yours, you know sometimes
I don't think you see what's right
in front of you, you're useless
Ethan I don't know why I
bother with you, what does
anybody see in you, what
do I even see in you."
You know the shape
& colour of my front door
I'll live without you.
