Restless Spirit
To live beyond death is like occupying someone else's room.

Unwittingly
Unwittingly...
I plunged forward feet first
as though born a rebel
I've crawled along
A wavering path
Learning early in life
That there was a
Kind of safety in silence
That saying nothing
To anyone anywhere
Meant
I could survive
Letting my actions
Tell the story
Of my troubled life
I plunged forward feet first
as though born a rebel
I've crawled along
A wavering path
Learning early in life
That there was a
Kind of safety in silence
That saying nothing
To anyone anywhere
Meant
I could survive
Letting my actions
Tell the story
Of my troubled life

IT MIGHT BE UNDER YOUR NOSE
I love and use a story I heard
years ago, the source I do not
know or the author.
It had been a beautiful and fun
day, the annual family reunion.
After the crowd had left for home;
a couple of families were staying
overnight with grandpa and grandma.
Grandpa had retired to the bedroom
to escape cleanup duties and take a nap.
Two grandsons with an eye
for mischievousness slipped some
Limburger cheese and went into grandpa's
bedroom and spread some in his mustache ;
soon grandpa aroused with a few curse
words...

Why do you hurt me?
Why does it hurt me so
With every whim
You come and go
It hurts deep inside
Knowing I’m doing everything.
To keep you by my side
I tried to make you laugh
To give you joy
To give you pleasure
Instead, I get nothing
And I am not sure
Why do you hurt me so
I feel it deep in my core
It hurts so much
I feel I will break
Tell me, please
How much more can I take
I’ll sit here and sob in my knees
And try to think
What is it about me
Don’t tell me its you
For if it was
Then I...
With every whim
You come and go
It hurts deep inside
Knowing I’m doing everything.
To keep you by my side
I tried to make you laugh
To give you joy
To give you pleasure
Instead, I get nothing
And I am not sure
Why do you hurt me so
I feel it deep in my core
It hurts so much
I feel I will break
Tell me, please
How much more can I take
I’ll sit here and sob in my knees
And try to think
What is it about me
Don’t tell me its you
For if it was
Then I...

Dysphoria
i put on
the dress
you bought me
it fit
perfectly
but
i wondered
why i saw
a man
in the mirror
wearing
the dress
you bought me
the dress
you bought me
it fit
perfectly
but
i wondered
why i saw
a man
in the mirror
wearing

random thoughts at 1am...
why does the amount of coffee ingested
not align with the number of trips to the restroom
seriously...2 cups...
...6 trips to the potty...
...that math just sucks
where does the cursor go when it disappears off the screen
moving the mouse as much as you like
it's nowhere to be seen
then shows up when you're ready to give up
no explanation...like...
...where the hell have you been
who decided where monsters lay in wait
under the bed or in the closet...
...makes no sense
what if they're in your sock drawer ...

shadow tangled vines
shadow
tangled vines
wrap themselves
around
my sleep,
delicate
breathing
coming from
my chest,
my dreams
blinking
within each
direction
and
my hands
tied,
whether this
is natural
or unnatural
occurrence,
each thought
works its
way to
the surface,
awakening
i realized
i felt
this way
every time
i thought
of you
walking away.

MISUNDERSTOOD
As I hastily ponder the necessity of speech,
the redundancy of spoken words, each by each,
the answers given as so many times before,
the repetitiveness becomes hard to endure.
"I'm fine, how're you?" Robotic, knee-jerk answers,
meaningless words eating our words like cancer,
"Of course I love you" and "No you don't look fat,"
whispered nonsense gossip and loud chitchat.
Misunderstood, convoluted sentences hurt,
best to keep in silence and a civil war avert,
hidden meanings spoken and often...

Love means never having to leave
he loved her
so much
he couldn't breathe
without her presence
he loved her
to bits
he wanted
to be part of her
he adored her
and wanted to with her
in her
around her
forever and ever
he looked lovingly
at his jars of pickles
swore he saw her eyes
looking at him with so much love
he sighed, contented
she would always be there
for him
how he loved her!

Outcast Soul
Outcast confused
Soul is torn
between light and hell
I'm chasing
What is left of
my pathetic life
So let me go out
In a Blaze of Glory
Soul is torn
between light and hell
I'm chasing
What is left of
my pathetic life
So let me go out
In a Blaze of Glory
