Acceptance
Hurt me
Scratch me
Smash me
BREAK ME
Pain is nothing new
More of what I've been through
Do not refrain
Add to the wreckage
Use hands
Use teeth
Use claws
Every ounce of pain
Give it all
Every flaw
Every tear
Every sound
LET ME DROWN
Feed the void
Break my silence
Roses and thorns
Blood and wine
I accept it all
I take your pain as Mine
Scratch me
Smash me
BREAK ME
Pain is nothing new
More of what I've been through
Do not refrain
Add to the wreckage
Use hands
Use teeth
Use claws
Every ounce of pain
Give it all
Every flaw
Every tear
Every sound
LET ME DROWN
Feed the void
Break my silence
Roses and thorns
Blood and wine
I accept it all
I take your pain as Mine

The Enemy's Name
II.
Not some single figurine, some deity,
Not a constant, but personalities -
Building character unto this display.
A display which at any point may contain
Agents of democracy, agents of duty.
Willed sacrifice, shameful enterprise
Composing.
III.
The possibilities, never outcomes nor complete,
The regrets and the hopes – short precedence.
Hungry for more, a bitter taste,
The bit between my teeth
That I cannot remove.
The celebrated in silence,
The onlooker once looked on.
IV.
The transgression...
Not some single figurine, some deity,
Not a constant, but personalities -
Building character unto this display.
A display which at any point may contain
Agents of democracy, agents of duty.
Willed sacrifice, shameful enterprise
Composing.
III.
The possibilities, never outcomes nor complete,
The regrets and the hopes – short precedence.
Hungry for more, a bitter taste,
The bit between my teeth
That I cannot remove.
The celebrated in silence,
The onlooker once looked on.

A wish for all of you
In this moment
After three years of pain and sometimes inner agony
I found a haven
Where everything is as it's supposed to be
Going to work during the day
Sinking into games and books by evening time
It sounds so much like ordinary living
It's what I wanted, it's the perfect ryhme
All dreams of "something special" are now resting
Under the golden blanket of self-understanding
All of those dreams where just a craving to belong
But for me this ambition is now sleeping, almost gone
What more is there to say?
It is...
After three years of pain and sometimes inner agony
I found a haven
Where everything is as it's supposed to be
Going to work during the day

All dreams of "something special" are now resting
Under the golden blanket of self-understanding
All of those dreams where just a craving to belong

The Epiphany
There’s beauty in deception and vileness in authenticity.
Your arms around me at night, the empty space next to me in the morning.
It was never your deception that shattered my inhibitions,
Never a fabrication, never a falsity that you uttered.
You were authentic from the beginning, never faltering.
What we had was a season of passion, unbridled and unashamed.
But seasons end, and the autumn of our love turned into the dead of winter.
Your heart was frozen from the beginning, but your embrace warmed my soul.
Your hands all over my...
Your arms around me at night, the empty space next to me in the morning.
It was never your deception that shattered my inhibitions,
Never a fabrication, never a falsity that you uttered.
You were authentic from the beginning, never faltering.

But seasons end, and the autumn of our love turned into the dead of winter.
Your heart was frozen from the beginning, but your embrace warmed my soul.

The Vortex
On hallowed ground I walk, unphased by those who came before me
Unafraid of what lies ahead, terrified of the ghosts walking behind me.
Time is frozen, but the days keep going by
Maybe I’m just frozen, eclipsed by the beautiful lie
That every road leads to somewhere you’ve never been
But maybe this road is a vortex, banishing me back to where I’ve already been.
Humbled and proud, which will be my demise?
Am I too proud to look my weakness in the eyes?
Or will my insignificance cause me to fade
Into the dust where all my dreams are laid....
Unafraid of what lies ahead, terrified of the ghosts walking behind me.
Time is frozen, but the days keep going by
Maybe I’m just frozen, eclipsed by the beautiful lie
That every road leads to somewhere you’ve never been
But maybe this road is a vortex, banishing me back to where I’ve already been.
Humbled and proud, which will be my demise?
Am I too proud to look my weakness in the eyes?
Or will my insignificance cause me to fade
Into the dust where all my dreams are laid....

Pink and Blue
I grew up pink
Pink blankets swaddled me in the hospital
I rode a pink tricycle
And played with pink dolls
I wore pink dresses in a pink house
And when I stopped being little you still wanted pink
I tried red
I tried blood rubies filling wine glasses
I tried red velvet with white lace
But I’m not red
And you wanted at least red
So I tried purple
Cloaked in grapes and the colors of royalty
Wore an amethyst crown
Let myself be swallowed in grape juice and plums
But I wasn’t purple
And yet you still pulled me to...

Think
Stare at the ceiling
Think
No - Nothing
Roll
Chin to Sheet
Stare at the pillow
Think
Memories
Uncomfortable
Stir crazy
Go outside
Smoke
Bored. Bored. Bored
Eyes tired
Lay down
Stare at the ceiling

Indented Charm
There is a pair of pants
reserved for a certain evening
a slim burgandy cut
that pairs with white or black
The fit appeals
to any movement
that may happen
and gives a bit of flare
to the predictable
fashion choices
that haunt this place
Some men will snicker,
but a rebellion
doesn't always take place
in jeans
and I already expect
a snide comment or two
But I'm not wearing them
to impress the brothers,
these are solely to invite
a feminine perusal
To see me in...

Tomorrow ...
Today is like no other day,
for today has never been.
Today will pass, it can not stay,
and can never be again.
Can one measure the value of a minute,
or the price tag on an hour?
Will you fully throw yourself in it?
Will you give in to it's power?
Will you accept how small you are
in the face of everything?
What is it we are living for?
What is the sense of being?
For as today will surely pass,
soon so too shall we.
How does one leave a mark that lasts
on the face of eternity?
for today has never been.
Today will pass, it can not stay,
and can never be again.
Can one measure the value of a minute,
or the price tag on an hour?
Will you fully throw yourself in it?
Will you give in to it's power?
Will you accept how small you are
in the face of everything?
What is it we are living for?
What is the sense of being?
For as today will surely pass,
soon so too shall we.
How does one leave a mark that lasts
on the face of eternity?

The Negotiation To Reinvent
I am no longer sorry
that truth escapes
those lips,
kissed so many times
when I was palpable
to the progression
towards a union
that I thought
could be everlasting
Our hearts have merged
in the smile
of she
who navigates
this world
under our watchful eyes
But our world broke open
to the influences beyond
the normal expectations
and with those changes
a division from the romantic
but not the soul
I can't fully comprehend
how it happens,
but it does
...

Strawmen & RainDogs
rain dogs howl
in the thunderstorm
to hunt the hare
taxi splashes
dirty rain water
from the curbs
I heard the rain dogs
barking at parked cars
the mothership arrived
to damn soon
in the cool air
of the midnight hour
strawmen light
their innards on fire
ghosts in the darkness
coming in from the storm
matted and mud caked
fur
keep these mutts
away from me
beam me up
Scotty
these bitches keep humping
my acid washed jeans
rain dogs...
in the thunderstorm
to hunt the hare
taxi splashes
dirty rain water
from the curbs
I heard the rain dogs
barking at parked cars
the mothership arrived
to damn soon
in the cool air
of the midnight hour
strawmen light
their innards on fire
ghosts in the darkness
coming in from the storm
matted and mud caked
fur
keep these mutts
away from me
beam me up
Scotty
these bitches keep humping
my acid washed jeans
rain dogs...

Letting Go
I thought it would be painful letting go;
Heartbroken and completely lost
From the eyes that once admired you
To the lips that once spoke so fondly of you
With nights turning to days
And days turning to night
You were the anchor I once formed my identity upon,
The compass that showed me the way
The light that illuminated my path
But one day, I just knew.
That the shackles that bound me to you were broken.
And at that moment
Your opinion of me, your affirmation and your approval did not matter
Finally awakened to the...
