The Slow Fade Of Confidence
There was a time
he never thought about it,
it came
(and so did he)
automatically...
He reveled in the opportunity
-the unspoken attraction
and the subsequent reaction
provoked by a chance meeting
or finding common ground
among a former acquaintance
The excitement of discovery
was motivation enough
and he grew to appreciate
the contrasts of others
- the differing shapes and movements
that offered that seal of delight
He wasn't reckless, by any means
or even someone who played the game ...

My Survival
I fight to survive certain
people in my family because
they cause my anger
to explode and sometimes
you want to kill them
but consequences are to high
for me so you write
poetry to get rid of
this anger inside your
soul which is causing
you pain and yes I know
they are family but
sometimes family
get on your nerves
So live life to the
fullest and the
Hell with the rest
people in my family because
they cause my anger
to explode and sometimes
you want to kill them
but consequences are to high
for me so you write
poetry to get rid of
this anger inside your
soul which is causing
you pain and yes I know
they are family but
sometimes family
get on your nerves
So live life to the
fullest and the
Hell with the rest

Bleeding Tears
My mind’s mouth kept me awake
Thoughts dripping with acidic words
A language meant to gash my being
As I watched myself bleeding tears
Echoes ringing within my head
A cacophony of whys and what ifs
Like a siren blaring over and over
With a piper, seeking to be heard
Serving myself on a dish
For my nerves to chew into pieces
Then spew my bitter leftovers
Until I fell asleep with a distant wish
Thoughts dripping with acidic words
A language meant to gash my being
As I watched myself bleeding tears
Echoes ringing within my head
A cacophony of whys and what ifs
Like a siren blaring over and over
With a piper, seeking to be heard
Serving myself on a dish
For my nerves to chew into pieces
Then spew my bitter leftovers
Until I fell asleep with a distant wish

Listening
The universe is speaking, and it scares.
Not the first meeting I was hoping for.
Taking deep breaths in between each prayer.
Fluttering butterflies ripple the air.
Unaware of what lies behind closed doors.
The universe is speaking, and it scares.
I have not blinked; I am stuck in a stare.
With tears running dry, my eyes become sore.
Taking deep breaths in between each prayer.
Worried so much because I truly care.
Curious about what life has in store.
The universe is speaking, and it scares.
The reaper lurked,...

Crackman
Vomit stains in the front-shit stains in the back
His everyday soul mission in life is smoking crack,
“His superhuman abilities from crack are uncharacteristically unique
Giving him the worldwide nickname ‘Smoke Daddy the Super Freak’,
“He has the telepathic power to eliminate soap and water on the spot
Forever remaining funky with also the ability to transform any substance into crack rock,
“His slightest touch will cause anyone to become a crack addict
Having them constantly scratching and going to the extremes to support their habit,...

weeds
the homeless grow like weeds in a post
apocalyptic garden
corporate America crawling so far up
our governments ass that not even
a nuclear enigma can unblock their
shit
lies, misinformation seeding confusion,
the plague and power of social
media
in AI. the dead will
not remain dead...
the dead will be reconstructed,
reconstituted, rearranged for
the pleasures of the stinking
bored masses
facts will become like candles blown
dead on stale birthday
cake
then...

Blood And Ink
The morning comes aglow
and so the dark gently retreats
as the sun sends morning caress
the night gathers its folds
chasing away the nighted stress
thank god still am i breathing
watching this sunlight beaming
hear the birds outside chirping
and the innocent kids, are playing
the night that passed like a tomb
cold like a stone, i did not atone
despite what i might lately have done
a torment, through which i have gone
but, my sun is still the shine
that...

Side effects of masochism
In the hearses of my damp gateways, crucifying holes
A spider web of fluids spreads between your fingers
While I eagerly lick them off tasting myself
The thoughts of lurking predators pushing me
Side effects of obsessive masochism
And a tendency to provoke violence
The abundance of punishments
Hidden under a veil of submission
Undiluted alcohol of expectation bruises and cuts
An overwhelming perception of feminine suffering
The spicy scent of cum stimulates the imagination
While the sadism of the garden is blooming
A spider web of fluids spreads between your fingers
While I eagerly lick them off tasting myself
The thoughts of lurking predators pushing me
Side effects of obsessive masochism
And a tendency to provoke violence
The abundance of punishments
Hidden under a veil of submission
Undiluted alcohol of expectation bruises and cuts
An overwhelming perception of feminine suffering
The spicy scent of cum stimulates the imagination
While the sadism of the garden is blooming

It's been.
Its been 3 days
I have not been stalked by my brain
And I count the hours.
I have not been stalked by my brain
And I count the hours.
