FACE THOSE FACTS
Face these harsh facts
he is never coming back
the slamming of the door
should tell you that and more
than his words will ever do
this should be your first clue
he does not truly love you
the two of you are through
face those harsh facts
remember how he acts
when you ask him to say
I love you he turns away
he already has someone new
that should honestly tell you
how he treated you so bad
he was...

River of Sorrow
All that you have, even all that you are,
Will one day be lost
If not already, 'tis yet to come
Each loss feeds a dropsl of sorrow
Into the stream that bubbles beneath the surface,
Coloring each day, each moment, in a slightly off-color hue
Until it grows into a raging torrent
That when least expected, bursts through with a stunning eruption of sadness,
Paralyzing the mind, the heart, the will to breathe
There is no escape - to wish it were otherwise
Is to wish to be other than human -
To be other...
Will one day be lost
If not already, 'tis yet to come
Each loss feeds a dropsl of sorrow
Into the stream that bubbles beneath the surface,
Coloring each day, each moment, in a slightly off-color hue
Until it grows into a raging torrent
That when least expected, bursts through with a stunning eruption of sadness,
Paralyzing the mind, the heart, the will to breathe
There is no escape - to wish it were otherwise
Is to wish to be other than human -
To be other...

The Chase (Part Two)
The Chase Part Two
Finally got the pussy.
Fuck.
This shit grip.
… wet as shit,
So good.
Had me moaning like a bitch.
She made me wait a lil bit,
And I was getting a lil impatient,
But she was with all the freaky shit,
So yeah, this was worth it.
But now she’s in her feelings,
Tryna “what are we”
After I hit it…
I didn’t know what to tell her so
I told her to just chill…
Then I gave her some more dick.
Once she was falling asleep,
I told her I had to dip.
Told her I’d be back later, ...

HER (Mary)
Hi Everyone!
Hope this finds you all well and staying blessed, strong and encouraged!
I am writing to inquire whether or not anyone has heard from 'HER' (Mary) as of late!? I have written her a few emails that haven't been replied to..that's very unusual behavior for her.
Take care and thanks for reading! 🥰🫂💯❤
Ps. Just received this email....
Hi Philis.
I’m extremely fatigued but doing well actually. Biopsy scare turned out to be okay, now my foot surgery is scheduled for February. I’m pretty much home bound now, so...

SPILL YOUR INK
Spill your ink on blank page. Express your rage.
Suppression only leads to mental pain.
Without catharsis, art is trapped in cage.
Trauma will stain, as you age.
Gain your stage.
Sage soul smiles.
It's worthwhile to tame your flame. Poetry is perfect for thoughts to drain.
Sane words flow to show feelings have no shame.
Mute charcoal clouds, hail chord sounds.
Tear drop rain.
Brain feels free.
Peace now reigns.
Clear skies bring glee.
Release of burdens cleanse untouched debris.

sun in your eyes
Sun in your eyes
in the white sea of sun-bleached straws
I saw a crow struggle and drown
in the glare
I was given a chance to see and hear
intimately to know
an eddy of hot water hotter than lava
running down the drain
the Australian way
This was hell, escaped.
From the struggle of the past...Dancing
in obscene sexuality
I heard the raw laughter from the mouth
of a toothless whore
like gaping sores of syphilis
I also heard sweet music
In the evening
I was salvaged by a crow
in the white sea of sun-bleached straws
I saw a crow struggle and drown
in the glare
I was given a chance to see and hear
intimately to know
an eddy of hot water hotter than lava
running down the drain
the Australian way
This was hell, escaped.
From the struggle of the past...Dancing
in obscene sexuality
I heard the raw laughter from the mouth
of a toothless whore
like gaping sores of syphilis
I also heard sweet music
In the evening
I was salvaged by a crow

JUST FOR A LITTLE WHILE
You say I'll never have you as my own nor your heart,
And so, to me, it seems I'll never find the peace of mind
I know in all my dreams, if I can
never know your love, I'll settle for a smile.
At least, I'll know I crossed your mind for just a little while.
For just a little while let me hold you close to me.
I won't pretend it's any more than you will let it be.
I have to let you know I want to make you smile -- I'll be around.
If you fall down, I'll be right here to catch you.
For just a little while.
You may not want me...
And so, to me, it seems I'll never find the peace of mind
I know in all my dreams, if I can
never know your love, I'll settle for a smile.
At least, I'll know I crossed your mind for just a little while.
For just a little while let me hold you close to me.
I won't pretend it's any more than you will let it be.
I have to let you know I want to make you smile -- I'll be around.
If you fall down, I'll be right here to catch you.
For just a little while.

Not just Birthdays.
You hurt me in ways that stays
It’s parked in a pick up truck
It’s not just being remembered
on birthdays or Christmas
It’s so much more than that
It’s every day on this earth
It’s found mostly in the little
things that seem so insignificant
Until you feel that way . Then
It’s becomes significant to
you and nothing feels the same .
It’s parked in a pick up truck
It’s not just being remembered
on birthdays or Christmas
It’s so much more than that
It’s every day on this earth
It’s found mostly in the little
things that seem so insignificant
Until you feel that way . Then
It’s becomes significant to
you and nothing feels the same .

My birthday.
There is 365 days of a year . I am sure that’s correct as I have felt every one by myself . Triple interest rate rise on your mortgage when you can barely survive as it is but you know this is life . I mean what are you going to do about it suck it up and shut up . Your health takes a nose dive as stress mounts up it’s not a hill now it’s a mountain. Your cat of 14 years that makes five thousand and one hundred and ten days was your text messages every one of those days with you got this with paw prints of love . He didn’t miss a single one even though food truly was his first love . Now as...

To the heart that resonates with mine
I guess I've just
Romantisized my heartbreak
I can't look you in the eyes l now
Unless I get my mind straight
And now I don't know what to think
I feel like I am on a brink of some-thing-per-fect
You won't stay here and I know it's worth it
Days are blur-ing in just like the fa-ces
I can't keep on switching pla-ces
I know the shoe won't fit take my perspective
Brag on bout locking this one down for certain
It's not 'bout no one new come on let's face it
The mask is slipping just a matter of time
No one...

Hitler, the artist
Hitler, the artist
It is Christmas Eve, and the TV has nothing to offer
but sentimental tunes and the endless stories of how
a rich man became nice and gave a poor family
succor for the evening.
I wonder what God gave his son for his birthday?
He had suffered in his name
a lot Flicking through the Internet's many channels
I came across Hitler's drawing of Santa Claus
A haunted, suspicious Santa casting a side glance to see
if anyone was making fun of him
and the revenge he would take if anyone dared.
