ragged-edges on my breath, on my body
The living room
had that cozy fall glow
as the day waned
and my body peaked
under your curiosity
The satin robe
I’d hidden in
pooled at my feet
like melted ice cream
as your knuckles
traced my collar bone
before you took me gently
to the floor
And made a crime-scene
outline around my body
with your exhale
My hair fanned on the carpet
skin dimpled with chills
as your lips
investigated
each white line
on my long body
My eyes squinched shut
fist balled ...
had that cozy fall glow
as the day waned
and my body peaked
under your curiosity
The satin robe
I’d hidden in
pooled at my feet
like melted ice cream
as your knuckles
traced my collar bone
before you took me gently
to the floor
And made a crime-scene
outline around my body
with your exhale
My hair fanned on the carpet
skin dimpled with chills
as your lips
investigated
each white line
on my long body
My eyes squinched shut
fist balled ...

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.

The walk home...
There's a cool breeze...
chilling me to the bone...
it's gonna rain tonight...
I'm walking home cause -
I've only pennies in my pocket.
I just want my lumpy bed.
Severe weather just ahead.
I know the way all too well.
I've walked these streets...
...for a long long time...
to just the edge of the ghetto -
at the start of rampant crime!
I'll sleep good tonight...
If I make it home.
I've got a pack of ramen...
and some cheese crackers...
waiting home patiently...for me.
...where i wanna be... ...
chilling me to the bone...

empty night
That's how I did it to you
very slowly
without rambling
That's how I did it
calmly
with an open hand for you
That everything, like this, without end
no return
no sleep, no sleep, no sleep
all night without sleep
without the blessing of silence
in the palms of my hands
What everything, like this, like this, like this
like the spinning of a top
that comes to an end
sleepless, like this, sleepless, like this
without rambling
very slowly
That's always how I did it
without knowing what I was doing ...
very slowly
without rambling
That's how I did it
calmly
with an open hand for you
That everything, like this, without end

no sleep, no sleep, no sleep

in the palms of my hands
What everything, like this, like this, like this

sleepless, like this, sleepless, like this
without rambling

That's always how I did it
without knowing what I was doing ...

A Fistful Of Silence
huge fist
rapidly
thumping
mouth
tightly
gagged
no voice
words lost
in throat
scrambling
about in
forced silence
struggling
within their
noose
hood holds
the darkness
perfectly
conspiracy
paranoia
anxiety
growth
of a
demon
sniggering
beast knows
my weakness
pushes me
towards
that known edge
rapidly
thumping
mouth
tightly
gagged
no voice
words lost
in throat
scrambling
about in
forced silence
struggling
within their
noose
hood holds
the darkness
perfectly
conspiracy
paranoia
anxiety
growth
of a
demon
sniggering
beast knows
my weakness
pushes me
towards
that known edge

Lancelot
Lying here watching you sleep
Had become torture to me
Once I thought I heard a name
But you said a name that wasn't me
The smile on your face said it was a wish or a memory
Maybe of a high sdhool sweetheart
That was there at the start
Do you wish that you could build on those memories
Maybe in a world with more stability
This is a world as we know without me
I come with conversations that may go wrong
We both know I'm not emotionally strong
We live on the edge, we're complicated
Our relationship alone must be...

My Stalker
I have forgotten about the problems
And the reason I am in debt
It's been days since I have seen you
But I haven't ever slept
It's been worse than what you thought
But I guess you'll never know
It's impossible not to think of you
But I know you'll never show
It's been painful when I think about
The fact you'll never come
And i'm becoming Just so childish
When I sit and suck my thumb
I've been searching through my closet
Just to find something to wear
But found me in the mirror
Looking too lean and...

The Dreaded Question
The Swedish man knew me as a dog lover
though I happily took over the job of feeding the stray kitties
gathered by his country house door every evening
But yeah,
dogs.
I loved my beagle, Brandy Joy
and Swedish man's Rottweiler, Daisy
and his friends' dogs
and my friends' dogs
and strangers' dogs
and dogs on TV
and the dog I met once
who had a perfect German shepherd head
on a corgi body.
The only dog I can think of,
that I couldn't quite bring myself to love,
was a friend's...

Seeing Mental Health Illness Within The Shadows Of My Eyes
We are now heading upon the throne of Autumn, where, within some states we will kiss the shadows of the sun goodbye until the beginning of Spring 2024, as all eyes shall witness the beautiful transformation of falling leaves, then barren lands, we tend to spend more time indoors than out.
Please take into consideration as the day gets shorter and the nights become longer, this is the time for a mental check to keep your mind intact, your heart pure, and the body replenished with food that give us energy and can compensate the mind.
The Mind

Sometimes....
..a caring voice is all that matters
chatter about whatever...just close the distance...
.....someone needs to hear from you
chatter about whatever...just close the distance...
.....someone needs to hear from you

I can feel it
I can feel it...
the sun on my face
the breeze in my hair
the joy in my gut
the spring in my strut
I can feel it...
the dark in my veins
the shame in my soul
the wrong in my right
the cry in the night
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to feel it all
I want to shut my eyes
Let the cloak of numbness fall
To feel the love
is to know the hurt
.
the sun on my face
the breeze in my hair
the joy in my gut
the spring in my strut
I can feel it...
the dark in my veins
the shame in my soul
the wrong in my right
the cry in the night
I don't know how to stop
I don't know how to feel it all
I want to shut my eyes
Let the cloak of numbness fall
To feel the love
is to know the hurt
.
