Heads your dead
I have two choices
Should I pull the plug or not?
I should flip a coin
Should I pull the plug or not?
I should flip a coin

Decisions
What I have done now
Choice without reservation
I regret nothing

When People Don’t Talk
When people don’t talk
The space between words widens
What’s left unsaid takes on new meaning
All the things I thought you meant
Now mean…something
And I’m left to fill in the blanks myself
Because you choose not to say anything
Maybe you think you’re protecting me
Or you’re ashamed
Or you’re angry
Or you don’t want me to have feelings for you
You might have misunderstood something I’ve said
Flawed humans mirror flawed humans
We’re all clinging to the same life raft
So we tango
But we...
The space between words widens
What’s left unsaid takes on new meaning
All the things I thought you meant
Now mean…something
And I’m left to fill in the blanks myself
Because you choose not to say anything
Maybe you think you’re protecting me
Or you’re ashamed
Or you’re angry
Or you don’t want me to have feelings for you
You might have misunderstood something I’ve said
Flawed humans mirror flawed humans
We’re all clinging to the same life raft
So we tango

Shaken and Stirred
Finally not wondering why I don't seize to breathe..
I will go on living without a breed..
Laying on my back to feel the breeze..
Asking myself is the role I played a bit?
Is the time not yet due in this life of sin?
My nights of prayers refuse to lead..
I can't even sip from my drink of beet..
I received the shocks I cannot absorb..
These missiles of misery I cannot abort..
In the business I choose to deal..
No amount of therapy for me to heal..
Precious time we spent I cannot recall.. ...

Just shut up and listen
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ We all have been in a situation for one reason or another, 🤨 that we let what we say cause you to act a certain way not be heard. 🤔 Whether you are wrong or right in what you think and say to someone else, I say that to say this which ever the way you may take what it is I'm about to say to you. 🤨 When you don't agree with what someone say to you, how do you respond for do you begin yelling and cursing, 😠 yet you still not listening and thinking that they are wrong, for speaking to you in a calm...

The Door
Severely silent night.
An open door.
To a quiet nocturnal world.
There stands a paralysis of
gaunt empty branches.
Stone chances.
As the haunting
sterile white moon stares.
A door to nowhere.
Everywhere.
Somewhere.
A chilling choice.
Void of voice.
Step through the door.
Breech the membrane
of life's mysterious worlds.
An open door.
To a quiet nocturnal world.
There stands a paralysis of
gaunt empty branches.
Stone chances.
As the haunting
sterile white moon stares.
A door to nowhere.
Everywhere.
Somewhere.
A chilling choice.
Void of voice.
Step through the door.
Breech the membrane
of life's mysterious worlds.

Cold Chamber
You're freezing
Struggling in chains
I'm in my warm watchtower
Eating sushi
Raw

Raw
You pay for this
Masochistic

CHOICES FOR 'ALL THAT COULD DIE'
(Inhumation)
All that could die
Six feet under lie,
Turning unto bone
Under a tombstone
(If not unmarked be
So plant life grows free).
(Cremation)
All that could die
Makes smoke in the sky
While I turn to ash.
It saves my folks cash
And the need to tend
A grave without end.
(Anatomization)
All that could die
To science leave I,
That men may dissect
To learning effect.
What's found under knife
Might save other's life.
All that could die
Six feet under lie,
Turning unto bone
Under a tombstone
(If not unmarked be
So plant life grows free).
(Cremation)
All that could die
Makes smoke in the sky
While I turn to ash.
It saves my folks cash
And the need to tend
A grave without end.
(Anatomization)
All that could die
To science leave I,
That men may dissect
To learning effect.
What's found under knife
Might save other's life.

Working Out
it gives me insights
and quite a lot too
thought there was
little strength left
in my leggy body
while i'm Stronger
than i thought i was
it gave me a huge
confidence boost
i knew movement
improves mood yet
it came as a shock
how fast changes
occurred how huge
they are and how
long they stayed
yet more than that
i find myself making
better food choices
healthy foods that
nourish & nurture
i'm...

Oracularity
The French gave us the word cliché
and so to honor Gallic grace
let's urge cliché to be passe
so no more discourse will debase
from any verse or any pen
where some foreseeable trauma
repeats its ugly life again
to flare into a melodrama,
or kindle more calamity
with ideation raised anew
antipodal to amity
which most of us already knew...
but still would not associate
a lack of tact with repeat fate.
