His Confessional
Dear Trouble,
I know you don't understand because it has been a year since my death. You see I knew my time was short so I wrote these letters to the boys and you. I wrote to tell you the truth and things I could not say to your faces. There will be mutiple letters and they all will be different. Tailored to you and problems we faced together. My last Doctor appointment I refused to let you code along. I told you to take care of your son and leave me alone to take care of myself. Then when I came back from my appointment I refused to tell your cousins and you what the doctors said....

Let us stop playing
You want the bare truth
Will we meet with you
To provide solid proof
Cause you have worn me down
Finally after all of these years
Hunted me down until you found
Every one of my nightmarish fears
Now I've done everything
Anything to get away
But you're bent on collecting
An unknown debt to be paid
Is it wrong that I am wet
Thinking of your face
Buried between my legs
Kissing me so I could taste
Mm
I keep getting ahead of myself
With undying perpetual...

Reliving visions from my childhood
I was 3.
doctors office waiting room,
white walls.
kids play area had long narrow carpeted play castle tunnels
like a cat tree.
secluded.
peculiar,
there was a circular hole going down,
below the floor
halfway through one of the tunnels.
I traveled down, and down I went.
found myself,
in the black and red;
silhouette shadows.
I was in hell
and the devil whispered in my ear.

So much to say
about this
about me
what lies just beneath
Pretty clothes
pretty hair
pretty smile
how they beguile
The world above
so black and white
so wrong and right
now forever smudged
Color only added
smidgens in the end
meant to bend
to my will
I only allow
it
you
to see ... when the oil dries
about this
about me
what lies just beneath
Pretty clothes
pretty hair
pretty smile
how they beguile
The world above
so black and white
so wrong and right
now forever smudged
Color only added
smidgens in the end
meant to bend
to my will

Rap for the last goodbye
Hey I know it’s been a while since we started
And now it seems we have departed
You were a great friend and person to talk to
But now those memories are turning fucking blue
We probably won’t see each other for a while
Hell it might not even be in style
Seeing each other face to face
Is hard when I’m leaving this place.
Man you’ve always been a pain in the ass
Taking everything and shattering it like glass
But we put that shit behind
And a friendship we did sorta find
You’ll always be my rival
Forcing me to go...
And now it seems we have departed
You were a great friend and person to talk to
But now those memories are turning fucking blue
We probably won’t see each other for a while
Hell it might not even be in style

Man you’ve always been a pain in the ass
Taking everything and shattering it like glass
But we put that shit behind
And a friendship we did sorta find
You’ll always be my rival
Forcing me to go...

Pezophaps solitaria
I know I should not feel this way
my path or A PATH of illogical stupidity
often I find though I try to fight this -
I am a willing slave to a feel of loss
knowing She loves me, yet unable
to shake this unreasonable feeling
of missing……….
missing my Love
When she is not online the updraft
that might lift my indolent wings
ink that usually flows from tepid
to a romantic infernal flame
becomes wet to a near lava ending
barely lit blue match fire droplet
breathed out
dried to angst and anxiousness
near...

no audience
time slips away
cryptic garden
another poets grave
death breaths
eternal life
falling off
a calculated map
out to pasture
slitting throats
when relevance
is thru with you
underdog
bleeding hope
call it a noose
my eternal rope
lost soul
moving forward
denied work
common fact
so old school
take it in
punishing my
own number
this universe
thinks i’m absent
taking notes
of failure
call me
when...

between the web of veins.
I stay up late, clouds of vape,
a sleep schedule burnt away
there’s a peace, there’s an ache
that words can never explain
house lights fade, eyes awake
refrain talking to my veins.
a sleep schedule burnt away
there’s a peace, there’s an ache
that words can never explain

independent matter.
Hey barista
I see you pouring confessions
I know everybody’s got their own
I witness everybody swallowing them
Yeah people come and they go
Lips praying on pristine teacups
It’s an instant private moment
I walk away in this hymn alone
I guess we’ve all got our own religion.

About Why I Loved You, Why I've Always Loved You And Yet, Still I Was Sick
About why I loved you, why I've always loved you and yet, still I was sick. Of fiends, I read a lot but still did not know what to think, not when I was ugly. Excuse me, excuse me, I love you and I...Raged. Emergency Medical Services were proposed for all buildings suffering from low light or in a position of war. The rainy season woke, and me? I drank yours, unhurt when I traveled. You loved me through and through, and in contempt of People's' Court, your eveningsongs rang out in multiplicity across all my mobile devices. Please, don't look down on me. I am humiliated. I raged, at love.
