I AM
I AM...
I am an addict, and I have been to some fucked up places in life. I have been hurt and I hurt others, I became what I hated and betrayed myself countless times. I was the Judge, Jury and Executioner of all around me. Nothing anybody did to me was worse than what I did to myself and the false salvation I found in a substance kept me blind to the endless darkness I was entering into more and more with each intake.
I used to love being outside, suddenly the sun was too bright. I used to love climbing trees and playing in the mud. Suddenly I couldn't even see the...

All the Gathering Magic
Hey
So, I guess,
By now,
You know,
That I’ve been thinking
About you
And what I’d say
To you,
If ever
I saw you,
Again
There are connections we understand:
Physics, causality, kinship,
Shared circumstance,
And time
Then, there are connections
We do not
Understand, they
Emerge,
In kismet, coincidence,
Synchronicity and
The timeless abundance of
Cyclic
Being, where smooth
Symmetries
Seem
To coalesce, just
As if
They were intended, ...

Love, and You
I've spent too long hating love being wrapped around your name
So deeply, in fact, that I created self trick games
I said I used the word because it fit better in poems and songs
Some of that may be true, but how much of it is wrong?
I've spent such little time really thinking about the facts
Because the last place I wanted to go was anywhere that led me back
I've been plagued with affliction in fear of that position
But there's no solution in fiction, just mind body friction
Now I know how holding onto this
kept me holding onto remnants

Backdrop Of Eternity
I want to hold you against backdrop of the promise of eternity
Dip your head back, gaze at you with sincerity
Run my hands through your hair
Like we would blades of grass lying in the yard
No blankets, who needs them
It's a false sense of security "protecting" us from the world
Darling, this will not be easy and it will not be painless
This life, and this world, and us people, are not good to each other
But despite inherent flaws we take leaps and we take bounds
And I becomes we effortlessly
The habit is so hard to break
When you learn...
Dip your head back, gaze at you with sincerity
Run my hands through your hair
Like we would blades of grass lying in the yard
No blankets, who needs them

Story Poem, Nr.24 — Dogged Grace
Aunt Mabel visited one day
and managed in her usual way
to skewer all the homely chat
by bringing her obnoxious cat,
a spoilt beast as one may guess
and here’s the story to confess:
The family time was Sunday lunch
a pleasantry, but here’s the crunch
for when it came to clear the table
watch the actions by Aunt Mabel
deftly as the scraps go round
with scrappy-scrapy type of sound
the plates on reaching table’s end …
she grabs them quickly to defend
the tasty morsels for her...

The Lost Solace
He adourns his face with a veil of confidence, collectedness and content.
Everyone who knows him praises his successes and a will that is unbent.
The tattered shroud of pride upon his shoulders, threadbare with years of hidden anguish, jaded.
Outwardly it’s suit made of the finest fabrics but like the empororer he feels naked
like a lottery ticket, you purchase, scratch the surface and what you unearth is …failure
Like an Amazonian king he has it all, but to what cost
His heart is like a...

I Accept It
I will remind myself on this day forward, no matter what happens - there will always be a solution.
I will gain more of my Self Awareness and it would give me an entire new outlook, for my own sake.
It won't be easy because nothing comes off simple.
It’ll involve an enormous amount of difficulty and patience to overcome the time being for my suffering.
I need to accept it.
I want to accept it.
I will accept it.
I have to honor the circumstances, which I'm currently facing today because it'll help me grow to become a better person for tomorrow.

Ageless
I am old " she said
This body that I never controlled
Now makes me a stranger within it
Now revolts against its own cyclic discipline
Now burns, now freezes, now ceases to flow
Its purpose past
It strips me of what makes me woman.
My skin wrinkles, my bum sags
My belly bulges
Fuzzy-cheeked, my passion dwindles and even my sweat seems
Not my own.
Is the ending of two thousand years the ending of the woman that I was?
I look on. I cannot share this painful mystery.
Yet I know too the mystery that is a woman's body is not...

marcescence over the music box
i want to write something happy. a little bit of blooming before the rot withers it all away. before all i have is marcescence and silent determination. something soft, something gentle.
i wind up the music box that rests on the corner of my desk and i let it play, soft and chiming and reminding me of the smallest fragments of life. how the winter snow falls down like tears and the rain screams as it drowns us all out. i want to write something happy, as i try to fill the decaying compost with something that can breathe it in and morph into something beautiful.
how tired i am, of...

Bi-Polar - Through the eyes of a complex Mind
Update* Thank You Candor for helping me with this in the critique forum. Very appreciated. Thank you everyone else for the help aswell truly I am very grateful.
You're a living performance trying out for a part, while inside you're broken and falling apart.
Mind is clouded with judgement-reality strikes.
Life's an emotional rollercoaster ride: your views morph to shades of black and white.
Daily struggles of pain, weakness a curse.
This is me, myself, and I.
Scars of pain, torture, neglect,
have given me this complex mind.
As...

Prisoners of War
These rings I believed would unite a devotion
Honey if I only could describe how it has divided us
Magnetic lines quivering the grounds we march to
Past wounds never healed surrounding us in mines
Push with words & pull with enmeshed emotions
Trying to get one to cross a line to set off a chain reaction
Hollow points dispensing unresolved memorials
A atmosphere so toxic I wear a gas mask to suspire
Shadows of ourselves have brought us to the darkest hour
I've gained a night vision to perceive in this dark desert storm...
