Scarlet man
In a blue velvet suit
Seeing red
Looking at you
IV.
Scarlet man
Whimper “I need you”
Lilacs on the midnight breeze
Under strong moonlight
III.
Scarlet man
Always just behind
My rustling kimono robe
Whipping up black earth
II.
Swing by tonight
Scarlet man
I got a new trick
That’ll blow your mind
I.
See, I learned
To see through
Hazy midnight
And I remember you (we all remember you)
Bang!

Skin Wars
Who told you that the color of a soul was skin-deep?
That it had to lose its pigmentation in order to get a spot where you sleep
Who told you that the beauty of a soul had color in the first place?
What reality are we living in where hatred can just shit in our face?
Who told you that we were allowed to see a soul in this way?
Who told you that this was ok?
That it was ok to write your self-appointed and twisted views into the book of man
That you can control and play God under the one true being who created man
Who told you that it was ok to sleep with...

Nightmare Written in Blood
Nightmares
Is it possible to write away
a lifetime of pain and rage
stabbing every inch of the paper
with my pen
Could each slashing stroke
form letters that spell a path to
forget the abuse, those sneaky
bedroom visits to "check in on me"
Will the ink bleed and the pain
somehow pour onto this page
forming a river of suffering with a
current that flows away from me
Should I let the tears go
that form a well of anger within me
writing a watercolor masterpiece of
innocence lost,...

Daddy, Did You Know?
Daddy, did you know life is about choices
About finding and raising our own voices
About finding our OWN place in the world
No matter how curvy or straight or how it swirls?
Daddy, did you know that EVERYTHING is not about RIGHT or WRONG?
Did you know some things are matters of preference all along?
Did you know this when you threw your tantrum fits
Or did you learn all this bit by bit?
Daddy, did you know I swallowed your toxic drink

Tick Tock
You don’t watch the time
so why would I build you a
clock
I won’t build sandboxes for
someone else’s toys
My swing set was a gallows
but then daddy always said
keep something sharp with you
a few ropes with frayed edges
From hot blooded to fade to black
Indian summers feel good
during a fall
No souls bring peace for
the sorrowful, a hurt placed
properly lives forever in the
hearts of children
I used to roll in the sand
at the beach, it touched me

Factory Reset...
Rarely do I give voice to thoughts from within however I can't seem to out run these ones so here we go:
Everybody knows cell phones even if only a wee bit
Their settings ones to tinker with and ones that mostly require a factory reset
Their capabilities now a days versus when their time began imagine how much advancement in such a small amount of time
Lastly every single make and model have their own annoying special bits of egadsnessess
Imagine how shocking it is that...

Check The Bishops Mate!
An arch bishop of Canterbury,
did not tell
Of John Smyth, who came from
some place in hell
Who regularly abused
young boys
Yet Justin Welby
made the choice
Of withholding evidence,
which deserves time in jail!

A Fickle Twisted Mind
Frustrations trickle into rivers of thought
leaving deposits of doubt in an already
fickle mind
In the deafening silence I see my hopes
and dreams, leaning against unmade
choices in the box of a life not lived
The mirror sees only the victim, never the hero
Eyes whispering of a strength unremembered
they speak to a heart of stone
filled with tragedy, waiting for the beat of
its own death
Sadly the harmonies lead not to suicide,
but to the murder of the once was child hanging
in the wardrobe choking on...

Violence and Sex
She hated violence and sex
She believed to much of it was ruining our youth
She made sure her two sons aged 11 & 14 weren't exposed to this smut anywhere in life
She has a drinking problem
Often, she would monitor their phones, their friends, their music and tv
They went to church every Sunday
They carried & read the good book everywhere they went
Their father left them when they were very young
They were altar boys at their church
One night their mother drove to the church to pick up her children

The ways of the lost
In and out of consciousness, they lay…
Spread-eagled upon a bed of scorn
Waiting for you to defy their preconceptions
Holding their breath as you ponder such naive innocence
Cat like eyes narrow in concentration
Your impenetrable focus centres on them
Poised for the kill,
call it love under will
After this night, will they survive still?
They can’t begin to understand how this will feel
Stripping clothes
Hurting them while no one knows
A hand navigates the forbidden
No mercy for you, the unforgiven
Not here...

Flying High
She has a problem
She worships drugs
She has a boyfriend who is a dealer & user
She just recently gave birth to a baby girl
They live in this crack house that you wouldn't send your worst enemy to live in
Filth, roaches, fleas, violence, and death are in the air daily
They had no food or clean water
Always had money though for the hard stuff
Her baby was suffering with medical issues
She couldn't take care of herself, how was she caring for a newborn
One drug induced night, she believed she was the messiah and her boyfriend was a demon in...
