circling the drain
this is the country where
the Eerie Canal was built
by hand using shovels,
pickaxe's, dynamite,
seniew, bone and blood
today we cant make enough
car parts to keep our
vehicles on the road
this is the country where
stores like Sears, Penny's,
K-Mart, Montgomery Wards
lined main streets in every
town
today the legacy and
memories we will leave
to our children are dollar
stores spreading across
the land like an invading
army of storm troopers
this is the...

Knitting shackles
Nervously desires knit shackles,
I squeeze my hands and thoughts flow
tearing down control heavy curtains,
how I am so close to you now.
Passionate body burns and burns,
wants your embrace, like captivity
the fire in me is enough for two of you,
I want my knees worn out to pain.
Breath, blood, disorder of movement,
and droplets of sweat are living water
to catch the reflection in each other's eyes,
and to say in languor only "Yes!".
You squeeze your hands around my neck,
bending my lower back, I want to scream...
I squeeze my hands and thoughts flow
tearing down control heavy curtains,
how I am so close to you now.

Cognisance
Loneliness hits
Total eclipse
Yet another blip rips
Into the fabric of our souls
We cry
We tantrum
We huff
We moan
We envy
We sanctum
We mourn
We grow
Life’s all about the lessons
The big
And the small
We all have a journey
That must be followed
And become known
If you can’t be at one
With yourself
Or anyone
Then you’ve really missed the point
Of cognisance
Of it all
Total eclipse
Yet another blip rips
Into the fabric of our souls
We cry
We tantrum
We huff
We moan
We envy
We sanctum
We mourn
We grow
Life’s all about the lessons
The big
And the small
We all have a journey
That must be followed
And become known
If you can’t be at one
With yourself
Or anyone
Then you’ve really missed the point
Of cognisance
Of it all

Count the corn
The anchovy, for lunch,
weighed like bronze
in the messenger's belly.
In his mouth there was a taste
to fungi and gasoline.
He forgot to see the deadline
and now the gastric juice
was to solve.
Because he had to work
spade and lime, like all
the other boys.
Each of them, another
cloth puppet under
the volley of orders
and cries of the rodent,
the one they called chief,
always on the tail.
He felt ridiculous
and out of action, like a rift
in the mold of a cube!

Bitter Heartbeat
untemded heart
will turn bitter
with each unheard
heartbeat....
love stagnates
within soft
red walls
true cruelties
of an
unrequited heart
barbed wire
retorts hide
each rejection
tasting bile
in each romantic
thought
knowing....
my heart
doesn't easily
love
or forget
will turn bitter
with each unheard
heartbeat....

Bittered Sweet
As friends go, we were quiet lovers
just a once
Absolute darkness forced our fingers
to search for help;
Found our bodies.
Your hands were so cold
that I knew they were practicing
being blue, soon.
So black, though, in the room
You didn't see my eyes teared up
from the freezing
When I put your fingers
to my lips, and blew
all the warmth
that my chest could offer you.
I couldn't see you
not smiling
Knowing this wasn't enough
to thaw forty years
of wintered life.

Descend
And i am satans slave
Dancing on my grave
Playing with my innocence
Suffering from my dissonance
We subject our souls to the night
Losing victory within this fight
As we bleed from within
Forgive this unforgivable sin
Losing faith I learn to master
Slowly as my heart beats faster
And time and drugs we consume
Poisoned mind prophecies of doom
Laughing while I'm bleeding out
Silent screams I try to shout
Echoes in the wind we're battling
The serpent and its constant rattling
The acidic rain floods my mind ...
Dancing on my grave
Playing with my innocence
Suffering from my dissonance
We subject our souls to the night
Losing victory within this fight
As we bleed from within
Forgive this unforgivable sin
Losing faith I learn to master
Slowly as my heart beats faster
And time and drugs we consume
Poisoned mind prophecies of doom
Laughing while I'm bleeding out
Silent screams I try to shout
Echoes in the wind we're battling
The serpent and its constant rattling
The acidic rain floods my mind ...

SWING
I had no idea how much you could miss someone. I mean from the morning until the dark. How you lost your happy place in the park someone took your swing and you're middle aged and acting out like you are aged five having a full-blown tantrum. Except a broken heart isn't playing games it feels like it is digging your own grave, but you are theoretically alive. Living on the outside but dying on the inside. It's hard to see the old routines when your heart high jacks your mind. You're a hostage and the taker but you can't find the negotiator.

Sinking
Sinking
I feel like I am drowning
Sinking further every day
I want to reach my hand out
But it’s best to push away
I feel that if I hold you
I’ll drag you into the abyss
It’s dark here and it’s lonely
And for you, I don’t want this
You struggle as I let you go
You fight me to hold on
I don’t think that it’s meant for you
This place, you don’t belong
I’ve tried to share my pain with you
But it just brings you down
I’m sorry that you feel that way
But you’re why I’m still around
...

Android Dreams of Electric Letters
A champagne pain painted the sky
In the opening of my eye, the dawn.
Electricity surged through my circuitry
Coming alive in my conception of the sun.
I did not understand.
I began to move, inspecting my hand
A buzzing sound vibrated in my being,
Information flooded with a demand
To comprehend, what I was seeing.
To understand what is seeing.
I knew I was being, but knew not, what is being,
Looking again to the sun, which vibrated
Rose orange, pulsated, my system awakening,
Some strange energetic force...
