Father will be there
Father will be there
To heal me from my sickness
Any time today
Father will be there
And put me to sleep
This night
I need that badly
Father will be there
To pray together with me
Before I go to sleep
We will pray for the countries that
Are in war
Also, we are going to pray
For us both
Father, you know me well
You can always trust me
I will never let you down
Because you hate
To be let down
Father, I will treat you respect
Also, I don't make promises
To you that I can't keep
I am...
To heal me from my sickness
Any time today
Father will be there
And put me to sleep
This night
I need that badly
Father will be there
To pray together with me
Before I go to sleep
We will pray for the countries that
Are in war
Also, we are going to pray
For us both
Father, you know me well
You can always trust me
I will never let you down
Because you hate
To be let down
Father, I will treat you respect
Also, I don't make promises
To you that I can't keep
I am...

~the trance-ease- shun #1 :: a LITT, yet TMHR moment..
it’s never easy.. this a transition
with it’s force fed death at each
of it’s dizzying hairpin bend turn..
you pin down in a flash second
the awaiting eye of a needle.. in
but to all it’s trancing.. an ultimate
liberation.. of the One hardcore
sedimentational truth, this love
when you said those.. in an easy flow
that
you didn’t love me (that much) as I do..
(a bouldering LITT ..Lump InThe Throat …
was in the sumptuous choking.. neither
rolling down...
with it’s force fed death at each

Suicide Train
Glued to soft and fine grass,
View of the sky like fine glass,
Greenery whispering without doubt,
A plan to suck my soul out.
Days and nights passed,
Sun became cold and harsh,
Grass with hay’s complexion,
Treated He with bitter compassion.
Soft touch of the wind,
Swifting over my skin,
Grass became stickier,
Deceit became comfier.
Boredom knocked on my head,
Welcomed an old friend,
Bantered about the sun,
Fatigued with its sweet burn.
Excitement knocked on my nerves,
Welcomed with joy...

Goodbye
Rest In Peace to Myself.
The final call has been made, and with it, a quiet goodbye to what's been.
The Last salute offered to the memories, the moments, and the pieces of me that once lived here.
It's time to let go, to rest in the stillness that follows the end of a chapter.
The journey has closed, and the silence speaks now, but in that silence, there's peace.
The past is no longer mine to carry. It's time to rest.
Goodbye.

Cabernet Valentine
Cabernet Valentine”
Oh my sweet silent Valentine veins flowing life
Secrets are meant to be kept my obedient wife
Luscious ruby mouth perked open for kissing
Shouldn't be too many acrylics inside missing
Most special day of the year celebrated lovers
Jack-o'-lantern face that is loved by mothers
You were stunning under your sexy lace negligee
If you hadn't screamed maybe you wouldn't be ugly
Silken raven strands stained in cherry hemoglobin
Pink blush cheeks smeared in tears, eyes bulging
...

Every hour
Every hour
I am thinking of you
My father
You blessed me
With a nice weather
It is finally sunny today
Thanks God Father
We had already lots of rainy days
During the summer
So father you cooled the earth already
For us
We must tell you that we love the sunny days
We are having a mild summer
I am thinking of you
My father
You blessed me
With a nice weather
It is finally sunny today
Thanks God Father
We had already lots of rainy days
During the summer
So father you cooled the earth already
For us
We must tell you that we love the sunny days
We are having a mild summer

Lovely Disgusted Ramblings of a Self-Ingested Being
Love sick
Dumb shits
Such as myself
Stand around
Idly by
Full of nothingness
As long as you get yours
As long as royalty succeeds
We worry about nothing
We got nothing
Yet everything
Amen
To you and your motherfucking condescending albatross of a conundrum which is not anything I condone nor does your mom nor does the Pope and so we sit in this mess eating the ember and feeling incomplete just like yesterday we got nothing so now how do you feel cause I feel like nothing is that you feeling like nothing...

The Cure That Kills
She was all sharp edges and quiet shaking,
a body built from broken glass and whispered apologies.
I found her sick with loneliness,
fed her pieces of myself like medicine,
but the cure was always temporary.
If you leave, she told me, I will shatter.
And maybe I believed it,
maybe I thought my hands could hold her together,
but my love was never steady,
never something to lean on.
She clung to me like a lifeline,
filled my phone with echoes of her panic,
her presence a storm I could never outrun.
When I stayed...
a body built from broken glass and whispered apologies.
I found her sick with loneliness,
fed her pieces of myself like medicine,
but the cure was always temporary.
If you leave, she told me, I will shatter.
And maybe I believed it,
maybe I thought my hands could hold her together,
but my love was never steady,
never something to lean on.
She clung to me like a lifeline,
filled my phone with echoes of her panic,
her presence a storm I could never outrun.
When I stayed...

My Last
For the first time,
I want to capture the sight
of a snowflake
drifting down to rest on my shoulder.
I want to walk under canopies
of cherry blossoms,
with fallen pink petals.
I want to lie down
in a vast field of tulips,
listening to nature’s songs.
I want to gaze at the sky,
unveiling its wonders,
next to the turquoise lake.
I want to watch the world
from the highest peak,
as life goes on.
Yet again,
all I want is to sigh
my last breath.

Bathe Me in Sunlight & Possibilities
Today I was told
I will most likely loose my left nipple
It’s going to just fall off
I wonder what it will look like
Laying there dejected
In my sports bra
(seven weeks until the girls will feel silk again)
Or the bottom of the shower…
I’ve lost too much in this lifetime
To be worried over a nipple
(although she was fabulous)
I’m not going to jinx myself
And talk about still having the other
Did I?
I just did, didn’t I?
Who the fuck cares?
Life is too short
To spend time worrying about...
I will most likely loose my left nipple
It’s going to just fall off
I wonder what it will look like
Laying there dejected
In my sports bra
(seven weeks until the girls will feel silk again)
Or the bottom of the shower…
I’ve lost too much in this lifetime
To be worried over a nipple
(although she was fabulous)
I’m not going to jinx myself
And talk about still having the other
Did I?
I just did, didn’t I?
Who the fuck cares?
Life is too short
To spend time worrying about...

Drift Bottle
I’ve been holding onto
your fading beams,
like the setting sun,
for too long.
Perhaps it’s time for me
to let you go
in a drift bottle.
With the waves setting you free,
and your memory,
forever treasured with me.
your fading beams,
like the setting sun,

Perhaps it’s time for me

Faded flames
Faded flames haunt my memories
A summer rain that brings reprieve
From the scorching earth heat
Yet their stay never lingers
Only the cool comfort
Of that beautiful time and place
When soundtrack sounds surround
Whisking and wishing us
To new and untouched lands
And the secret of knowing
In that moment
Nothing else mattered, but us
A summer rain that brings reprieve
From the scorching earth heat
Yet their stay never lingers
Only the cool comfort
Of that beautiful time and place
When soundtrack sounds surround
Whisking and wishing us
To new and untouched lands
And the secret of knowing
In that moment
Nothing else mattered, but us
