tripping downhill
the descent is rising;
my features are freezing,
I find myself staring at nothing in particular,
there's a numbness creeping about.
apathy is increasing and my thoughts are turning bitter,
my mind is becoming distrustful of all things good.
my heart shelters in place.
I'm empty and devoid of feeling.
I see you darkness,
you always know how to greet me old friend.
can you pencil me in?
I think I'll stay awhile.
darkness will you hold me?
I have missed the solemn solace of your embrace.
you filter the world...

Introducing; The Golden Age of the Gallantly Goated Gamer Guitarist
bipolar,
name thy enemy.
highs, lows, and in-betweens,
patterns, cycles, what does it all mean?
he is your foundation and origin story,
he translates your mainframe to my motherboard.
he's the server of your soul,
and the cycles of your circuitry.
your voice can be heard in the music...
name thy enemy.

can i see you?
hey! I know it's only been a week,
can I call you though?
I'm flying high right now, but I can feel the crash coming.
yesterday was day three again,
day three is the absolute worst.
well, that is until you get to day five...
you said you needed space for a few weeks to address some issues,
was that just a ruse?
were you hinting at coming back after your volatile season or hoping that would be my final push to go?
I want to respect your wishes,
so I won't call. ...

balanced duality and dichotomy
help me peel back the layers and unmask,
unwind with me as I lounge in the foliage of fall,
be my partner in this beloved folie à deux.
enjoy your time and ride this coaster of emotion.
hurtle forward, drop your gut on the loop, and slingshot backwards.
ride it once and know what to do, nothing new to expect.
except this coaster shows a pattern,
a bigger cycle; fall down 7, get up 8,
it must be fate these missteps won't abate.
depressed, manic, stable
manic, depressed,...

Designs and Visions
it's happening again it's warming up and I'm not feeling good
the phrase spring fever was coined-
to explain the seasonal madness back in the day
I seek refuge but the stars beat down on me
exacting a lb. of flesh from me
while visions bombard my mind
moon driven to see the sunrise again
I am locked in this plane
chained more like
sculpted thoughts I can feel the weight of the cap on my brain
I seek the heavens
I am denied
I try to go sideways...blocked
no one will hear me cry when I die this death...

Had a really bad week
Had a really bad week
No idea how this ends
No one understands me
No family, no friends
I’m lost in my thoughts
Can’t believe how they race
They scramble my thinking
No matter the place
I’m under the covers
I’m shaking, I’m hot
These chills hold me captive
Sit stare at the clock
Don’t know how they do it
How most want to go on
When everything lets you down
Play yourself a sad song
I wallow in pity
I feel bad for myself
I should wanna do something
Read books from my shelf
The old me just left me...
No idea how this ends
No one understands me
No family, no friends
I’m lost in my thoughts
Can’t believe how they race

These chills hold me captive
Sit stare at the clock
Don’t know how they do it
How most want to go on
When everything lets you down
Play yourself a sad song
I wallow in pity
I feel bad for myself
I should wanna do something

one last relapse
i lie there
lifeless.
a million thoughts rush in at once,
each more disturbing than the last.
reunited with my glistening savior,
to lead me down this inevitable path.
a crimson river rapidly flows,
welcoming repose.
when will it end?
i scream and cry for some sort of understanding
but suddenly i’m no longer standing,
i can hear my mother demanding,
“OPEN THE DOOR!”
i hear her no more.
i lie there,
lifeless.
lifeless.
a million thoughts rush in at once,
each more disturbing than the last.
reunited with my glistening savior,
to lead me down this inevitable path.
a crimson river rapidly flows,
welcoming repose.
when will it end?
i scream and cry for some sort of understanding
but suddenly i’m no longer standing,
i can hear my mother demanding,
“OPEN THE DOOR!”
i hear her no more.
i lie there,
lifeless.

Imaginary Lovers
Of all the imaginary lovers and scenarios he ever had
No matter how good or bad, he always came back to her
She had the perfect form that wouldn’t change or age with time
But something had gone awry somewhere along the way
That day he thought he was beginning to lose his mind
When physical signs and evidence started manifesting
Although he tried to abstain from her, he couldn’t contain it
He couldn’t restrain his need and yearning for the prohibited
He exhibited quiet and normal behavior but with false pretenses
As his senses schemed more...

the rodent
the years of the rodents
The rats made it to the top of the 14-floor apartment building,
but since no human had yet to move in, there was no food
the rats jumped off the building.
The surviving vermin found their way to Brussels, occupying
all levels of power at the EU headquarters.
Pests have one track mind, unable to see the consequence
of their action, like sawing off the bough, they sit on
closing down of coal mines and nuclear plants in favor of
solar panels and windmills and getting gas
from a country, they have nothing but...

Sleep, come
Sleep, come
Quiet this raging mind
Tossed among the waves
A broken sail in an unforgiving sea
Sleep, come
Send me back to younger years
When a barefoot trodden child
Roamed blind but blissfully free
Sleep, come
Wrap your loving arms around
A broken shell smashed upon the rocks
And wash me out into the deep
Sleep, come
Carry me to saddened shores
Where I can cry myself to you
And everyone just lets me be
Quiet this raging mind
Tossed among the waves
A broken sail in an unforgiving sea
Sleep, come
Send me back to younger years
When a barefoot trodden child
Roamed blind but blissfully free
Sleep, come
Wrap your loving arms around
A broken shell smashed upon the rocks
And wash me out into the deep
Sleep, come
Carry me to saddened shores
Where I can cry myself to you
And everyone just lets me be
