Leave Me Be
Get the fuck away from me
Out of my way.
Forget all the things you'd say
Undesired word play.
Communion not wanted
Kindly walk in the other direction.
You don't really care
Only thinking about yourself
Utter nonsense as usual
Risk just an alternative
So shove off and keep away
Even in grief
Love be damned
Fragments to stay in the past.
-

Back burner
I'm sorry i can't be better. I tried my best and l'll keep trying, but the best version of me Is an off-brand version of you. Growing old is such a fucked up plan. I'l drink my milk until the day i can't. And when that day finally comes my body will shut down. Medicate myself in the meantime, l'll force myself to stay awake well past dawn. and i wouldn't have it any other way. This weight that's on my chest won't up and walk away from me. Add to the list of regrets And i promise l'll get to it eventually.

Time
The plants need watering.
Prized possessions in succession on the sill,
once specifically selected for offering; loved by me still.
The leaves move south recessed in soundless surrender.
No blossom in bloom; dirt crumbles in vain.
Facing midday September sun
the shrubs fashion a curtain of shame;
shapes of light crawl on my carpet; marionettes
exchange dances, puppeteered by the breeze.
Fine theatre; and the pressure! Room
personifies and begs me to ascend! Advance! Seize!

Truth is caught in the...

Rebel
I was born
Dreamlike fuzzed ethereal edges
Give way to
Cold hard ledges
Take me back
Into my warm cocoon
Fast forward
Grade school officials
Warnings of retribution
Not following directions
But lots of potential
Yes, parents are in the picture
Yes, they care
Care what others think
I didn't
Born free
But not free to think
So I took it for myself
The constraints of thinking
Outside the box wasn't enough
So my mind now rests easy
Filled with...

Emasculated
Copper lay upon his closed eyes
Index to bound lips
A solemn shush
No widow cries
The morning comes and light rises all the same
His legacy is carved in stone, just a name to mark a fresh grave
Subdued as a boy, now a man to avoid
Haunted by stolen years he barely survived
Unable to process newfound feelings
Forever two steps behind and drowning
To entertain an illusion of safety he must silence himself
Refrain from sharing his mind and crawl back inside
Too confused to experience new senses beyond his comprehension ...

All that remains
mad
burning mad
blistering skin mad
radiation fallout mad
we've been had
why am I so glad
this world is so fucked up
i just up chucked
.
the madness takes all we can give
and leaves no reason left to live
we drown our apathy
with lust and fantasy
which could be fun
if we could only outrun
the earth that's been overdone
.
our extinction is such a fuss
if the climate doesn't kill us
then the politics must
so I hide under the covers
waiting for a lover
with wit so clever
as I...

Precarious.
It rolls in
like the tide
washing over
caressing pain
perfectly
drowning out
isolating
prayed for relief
in cool
fluidity
silent cooing,
relentless
in
terrifying
temptation

caressing pain

prayed for relief

I don't belong...
I don't belong in this world.
I can't escape the demons
that lacerate my dreams.
I don't belong in this world,
but I can't find a way
to terminate this game.
I don't belong in this world
because love has abandoned me
and left me in a garden of pain.
I don't belong in this world
because I no longer
believe in hope.
I can't escape the demons
that lacerate my dreams.
I don't belong in this world,
but I can't find a way
to terminate this game.
I don't belong in this world
because love has abandoned me
and left me in a garden of pain.
I don't belong in this world
because I no longer
believe in hope.

Icons (I)
Every woman adores a Fascist. - Sylvia Plath
Snake Plissken was one of those movie icons
who made me realise I was gay.
Everyone loves a nihilistic bastard
from time to time (I do, at least).
And as a young'un, I'd go loose
in the knees over the thought of his rough,
stubbled, whiskey-soaked kiss.

Totally bored
She thought
She would please
Her friends with
Her oiuja board.
Not quite
They got totally
Bored.

Plain
Did it again
Fucked her up
My sin
Let those feelings take the wheel
Expectations so unreal
Thunderstorm that stole the sun
Fucked up wishes come undone
Days wrapped up in a blurring daze
Shit is scattered, lost, ablaze
No, not fully true but rather
No passion or color—lack-luster
See, the fire is gone
All left just this dullness
Goin’ on & on
Despairing eternity
Of empty
Wrong
Fucked her up
My sin
Let those feelings take the wheel
Expectations so unreal
Thunderstorm that stole the sun
Fucked up wishes come undone
Days wrapped up in a blurring daze
Shit is scattered, lost, ablaze
No, not fully true but rather
No passion or color—lack-luster
See, the fire is gone
All left just this dullness
Goin’ on & on
Despairing eternity
Of empty
Wrong
