PHOSPHENES
You see it when you close your eyes
Harder
Press harder with your eyelids
Maybe press your hands into your eyes
Try that
Push against the thoughts
That are telling you to stop
Push until you see them
The glittery sparkling phosphenes
The lights that let you know
You are still alive
Push out all the darkness
The blackness that hides
beneath your skin
Bring forth all the light things
The bright things
That pulse, a ringing in your ears
Push to forget what you’ve seen
Harder to put it away
Harder until...
Harder
Press harder with your eyelids
Maybe press your hands into your eyes
Try that
Push against the thoughts
That are telling you to stop
Push until you see them
The glittery sparkling phosphenes
The lights that let you know
You are still alive
Push out all the darkness
The blackness that hides
beneath your skin
Bring forth all the light things
The bright things
That pulse, a ringing in your ears
Push to forget what you’ve seen
Harder to put it away
Harder until...

Tangle
Was it a statement?
Or a question?
Some sneaky form of suggestion?
Standing near me
Is this a dance?
Push pull shove
Boo
Do I dare ask?
Oh, I know you
So surely not
We've danced before
The steps
Wont stop
Better just
Keep my mouth shut
Cause...
The pain
Passion
Consuming lust...
Let us not
In this tango
Get lost.

Them & Them
They have organized sports;
They have street level fisticuffs.
They have University Fraternities;
They have Criminal Organizations.
They have tropical vacations;
They have extended vacations.
They have hard knocks;
They have golden parachutes.
Perhaps…
But this is what you must know;
All is motherfucking sorrow.
All is a quest for meaning;
Amidst the lies of material being.
All is interposed with tears;
All is a confrontation with fears.
All is the shedding of blood; ...

Monday Morning
I woke up before dawn in a confused state of mind
And I stayed awake until daylight
It was a Monday morning and I had nothing to do
I couldn't cope with the trials of life anymore
Contentious people kept looking for trouble
I wanted to find happiness and serenity even for a day
So I left home in a hurry for a long walk
It was the first time I forgot to wear a mask
I bought one from a female vendor on the roadside
My shadow was right under my feet
I wasn't sure where I was going,
But I had to go somewhere to meditate
I was...
And I stayed awake until daylight
It was a Monday morning and I had nothing to do
I couldn't cope with the trials of life anymore
Contentious people kept looking for trouble
I wanted to find happiness and serenity even for a day
So I left home in a hurry for a long walk
It was the first time I forgot to wear a mask
I bought one from a female vendor on the roadside
My shadow was right under my feet
I wasn't sure where I was going,
But I had to go somewhere to meditate

Fire we made
Hidden in the ice lies a burning flame.
Look me in my eyes & solidify to me where your place stands.
Intrigued by the verbal reassurance you gave.
We were cold to the world without question.
The heat between us couldn’t be denied.
Burned by our own creation we built each other up be solid monuments that we tore down.
We look back on a past that killed a part of both us.
Split down the middle you question should you go back?
(Nothing left to give)
Look me in my eyes & solidify to me where your place stands.

EEKS !
It just happened
they all saw it
there was no hiding
it was right there
out in the open
they all pointed.
Look, Oh my goodness...
everyone was there
everyone stared.
They all saw it.
they all saw it
there was no hiding
it was right there
out in the open
they all pointed.
Look, Oh my goodness...
everyone was there
everyone stared.
They all saw it.

Tonight
As the night sky intertwines with the cold, the lights starts to dance throughout the city like fireflies, only shining momentarily, following the lead of time, as it gradually tiptoes onwards. And yet as the lights fade, a certain type of calmness befalls my mind.
As I sit, outside, with the cold as a blanket, I sense an overwhelming peace, knowing that the colder it gets, life surrounding me retreats away, and slowly loneliness will keep me company, along with nostalgia replaying short flickers of home.
And as I sink deeper into the night, my mind dawdles along with...

Happy new year?
It's a new year
Amazed and astonished
That I'm still here
Despite my best efforts
To find a hasty demise
I awkwardly awaken
To find I still have time
Each year that passes
My grip seems to loosen
And with incompetent ignorance
I still can't fathom what I'm losing
So with an inexperienced clumsiness
I'll walk through this world
Foolishly dumbfounded
By the logic of
Why me?
Amazed and astonished
That I'm still here
Despite my best efforts
To find a hasty demise
I awkwardly awaken
To find I still have time

My grip seems to loosen
And with incompetent ignorance
I still can't fathom what I'm losing
So with an inexperienced clumsiness
I'll walk through this world
Foolishly dumbfounded
By the logic of
Why me?

Sanctioned Pain
It's irony I think in this
That long ago it was different
The only thing that kept me alive
Was a needle held over fire
The gasps of pain filling the air
As I pressed it to my flesh
Now needles holding burning medicine
Is what keeps me alive today
The gasp after injection
The hidden thrill...
That I can hurt myself again
That long ago it was different
The only thing that kept me alive
Was a needle held over fire
The gasps of pain filling the air
As I pressed it to my flesh
Now needles holding burning medicine
Is what keeps me alive today
The gasp after injection
The hidden thrill...
That I can hurt myself again

The water
I am angry
Because of those who don't think
Because of those who don't care
How can you just live?
You don't appreciate what you have
You don't look deeper than the surface
You're just living in the now
You're just seeing what's right there
How can that make you happy?
It's an illusion
It's a veil
It has to be…
If not, why can't I?
Why do I need to look further?
Is that why I'm never satisfied?
I always dive into the water
But I can never find the bottom
Maybe that's the illusion
Because of those who don't think
Because of those who don't care
How can you just live?
You don't appreciate what you have
You don't look deeper than the surface
You're just living in the now
You're just seeing what's right there
How can that make you happy?
It's an illusion
It's a veil
It has to be…
If not, why can't I?
Why do I need to look further?
Is that why I'm never satisfied?
I always dive into the water
But I can never find the bottom
Maybe that's the illusion

I NEED THAT MUTHA FUKAN WEED
My lungs I need to feed
With MJ's green
I need.... That mutha fukan weed
Breathe Breathe Breathe
No no sleep....
Baby tease me with your kiss...
Let me feel it deep....
(Laughing While High)
I'll show you how to get high
Smoking it's toxic air
Baby please don't be shy
All you have to do is try...
Cannabis as it touches your lips and hair
Mmmm ooohh, there you go...
Baby now you know
The rest goes slow
(Laughing While High)
I'll show you how to...
With MJ's green
I need.... That mutha fukan weed
Breathe Breathe Breathe
No no sleep....
Baby tease me with your kiss...
Let me feel it deep....

I'll show you how to get high
Smoking it's toxic air
Baby please don't be shy
All you have to do is try...

Mmmm ooohh, there you go...
Baby now you know

I'll show you how to...
