Roads to Nowhere
Roads to nowhere
Now that sure sounds ominous...roads to nowhere, Damn!!
Not really
It's not the roads to nowhere that are giving me trouble
It's the roads to everywhere that are driving me fucking crazy!
Literally!

Decision Made
It finally happened
The universe put a hard stop
On a life going off the tracks
Two lines appeared
Gleaming in the light of the bathroom
Positive
Death and life at once
Breathing and not breathing at once
Immortality and inevitability at once
Alone surrounded by four walls
An unusual silence encased itself around you.
Decide!
Pulse is beating so hard it hurts.
Heart squeezed by ribs that are meant to protect
Hot then cold then…..

Mob
dictate the madness
we march in step with the vibrations
hailing from a maelstorm
wicked little itch to appease the demonic need
hexing the night I come in
stop time for a moment
watching it fall heavy on everyone
evil feasts opening it's dark eyes
grievous error thinking to avoid it
into the maw, now mob for the hell of it
rising on the winds I take flight
a witch with you on her mind
Mr. zombie commanding an army
with your ritualistic offerings
an army of dread celebrating life
my humblists...

Little Exercise
( After Elizabeth Bishop )
—for Clewless and those suffering anxiety
Poison oak grows beautiful on the vine
its lush leaves inviting to the touch,
think of this as life, at times: biting.
Behind that velvet green lies a subtle itch—
its urushiol blood birthing blisters that will not last,
yet, stake their claim in pain nonetheless.
For everything there is something—
nature ensures that, Calamine eases
the stinging of rash, Moringa a restless...

Ms Prose
The most disturbing slums
With many problems
About to face my clone
An open street I stood alone
Bounded by earlier defeat
Loud and clear I need not repeat
When the only thing that pops into the mind
Is also something you've to write
By so doing..
I got seduced by a beautiful maiden, who called herself Ms Prose..
We tied the knot in a shocking narrative of instant rise and fall..
I dialled it rang she picked and hang
Deliberately, she went missing my single most important call.. ...

When we remove the negativity
How many of us have felt the vibes of the negativity, that comes into our lives, and felt like there is no escaping, from the deepness of the mind affects as it slowly begins, to drain you and take a hold of us just draining, us of our thoughts and strength. For sure it's necessary to revaluate the situations, that we find ourselves involved WITHIN in our lives. For sure no one is sent to you by chance or accident, 🤔 as that goes for when dealing with a relationship, that has BECOME a negative instead of a positive that can also, have a profound effect on you as well in mind and heart...

Anxiety
Beyond the chipper cheerful rays of sun.
Lies a dark and hungry oblivion.
Where horrors shed obsidian garments.
Nightmares claw at your hidden compartments.
To unleash terror's shadow,
upon your thoughts distorted glow.
Behind every sun is a dark lark.
Laced with fear's song to sink your heart.
Lies a dark and hungry oblivion.
Where horrors shed obsidian garments.
Nightmares claw at your hidden compartments.
To unleash terror's shadow,
upon your thoughts distorted glow.
Behind every sun is a dark lark.
Laced with fear's song to sink your heart.

Black Box
This black box
I keep my soul
Thoughts kept locked
In control?
Behind the smiles
A heart of glass
The agony piles
All things must pass?
The pain and tears
The ticking clocks
All thoughts and fears
In this black box
I keep my soul
Thoughts kept locked
In control?
Behind the smiles
A heart of glass
The agony piles
All things must pass?
The pain and tears
The ticking clocks
All thoughts and fears
In this black box

How long do I have to say happy new year?
I write this poem every year
I'm already sick of good cheer
Optimism is another no go
Sullen and Sulky is my usual
When I'm being a sarcastic fuck
Then you know I'm happy
I'm already sick of good cheer
Optimism is another no go
Sullen and Sulky is my usual
When I'm being a sarcastic fuck
Then you know I'm happy

The Incapable Peasant of OZ
There once was a pitiful Stalinist
whose brow was not sufficiently high
which let Democrats get him super pissed...
at pedos and Nazis and crows, oh my!
He was on the internet, all alone,
worried about some collectivist guy
who triggered him into a bitch and moan...
at pedos and Nazis and crows, oh my!
The skies grew dark with flying Trump-pan-zees
dressed up like Bonaparte drones in the sky
but having a hard time capping the knees...
of pedos and Nazis and crows, oh my!
They spent their money on...
whose brow was not sufficiently high
which let Democrats get him super pissed...
at pedos and Nazis and crows, oh my!
He was on the internet, all alone,
worried about some collectivist guy
who triggered him into a bitch and moan...
at pedos and Nazis and crows, oh my!
The skies grew dark with flying Trump-pan-zees
dressed up like Bonaparte drones in the sky
but having a hard time capping the knees...
of pedos and Nazis and crows, oh my!
They spent their money on...
