Luce
brother of mine
What say you of misfits and rebels?
Seeing is believing; freedom rings true for some
unrelenting pain is garnered
and I lost sight of you in the mists
sacred art is to know you
unforgiven on the path
resurrecting old demons
my thoughts observe and interfere when you need
my vow kept
I'll see you in the eternal
void of valor it was for naught
seeking truth in all you say
slaughtered without sight are the innocent
created to fight and nothing more
vulnerable honesty
now...
What say you of misfits and rebels?

Calling About Tuesday
Calling About Tuesday
I hung up on him twice
but he kept right on calling
all through the night till the sun
began to rise.
'Rrrring Rrrring Rrrring Rrring!'
“Won't you please leave me alone!”
'Rrrring Rrrring Rrrring Rrrring!'
From the telephone.
I unplugged the phone from the wall.
Still it would ring!
I threw it against the wall
shattering the thing!
I went out for a walk to relax, clear my mind.
The park near my home always my place
to get away from it all for a while.

sarcastic
trying my hand with shadows
tying my wrists I bind letting my demons fly
sacred art to touch the immortal pine
interesting homage to the unseen that move among us
disturbing nor trespassing I observe
fleeting thought to look away
but the closer I look instead
creating mischief not to be mistaken for horror
This is a familiar game
the unseemly are family
and we play in jest
Sharpening our blades but not cutting too deep
Sarcasm drips sardonic rule
If you are too friendly, they won't think you're one...

Dead Inside
to say i'm utterly
devastated is an
understatement
i feel crushed
The day after
i saw our home
will be closing
its doors i was
told Two of my
supportworkers
will have to stop
due to protocols
and regulations
the government
who Wants more
money & power
they always do
it means i'll lose
3/4 of my support
system including
the deep site my
lifeline & you guys
everything familiar
feels like i'm walking
on...

The Aversion You Live
Fields of delight
Smell the lie divine
Right this way
Do not decline
Taste the deceit
Your version that might
be more sweet
than the aversion you live
Standing outside the fire
Standing there you lust
Virility smolders into
a tepid perversion of
an orange sky
Your ashes into it
Smell the lie divine
Right this way
Do not decline
Taste the deceit
Your version that might
be more sweet
than the aversion you live
Standing outside the fire
Standing there you lust
Virility smolders into
a tepid perversion of
an orange sky
Your ashes into it

sunrises and monsters
feeling the arc of pain playing out on my weary bones
who screams no not now
strong and willful my soul batters at the constraints of hurt
entering the need of the moment
it needs me to be strong
wrestling with demons I know well
sharpens my instincts
the spirits are restless
and i with them
my soul aches with a feeling
you know the ache
the one that keeps you up at night
fearing sleep cause of the monsters I will meet there
they're waiting for me
entertain the feeling it gets brighter by day...

Them
When the ugly people band together,
They actually feel like they're better.
But, you just watch them.
And mock them.
When the women band together,
And try to act like they're better,
I just let them.
I know their intentions.
When someone disappears,
And I still know they're here,
Do they know I've caught them?
Ill throw them in a coffin.
All of these ears still couldn't hear,
My fake coughing,
Laughing at their convention.
Always needing attention.
Hide! While you...
They actually feel like they're better.
But, you just watch them.
And mock them.
When the women band together,
And try to act like they're better,
I just let them.
I know their intentions.
When someone disappears,
And I still know they're here,
Do they know I've caught them?
Ill throw them in a coffin.
All of these ears still couldn't hear,
My fake coughing,
Laughing at their convention.
Always needing attention.
Hide! While you...

Show & Tell
A puppet and puppeteer.
Is what this story is about here.
Imagine a lively puppet with light blue eyes.
Her pink dress,now fantasize.
You pull by her strings,to force her into doing things.
The puppet asks you,is this not enough?
What do you want of me,and aren't I tough?
The puppeteer pulled her strings.
The kids brought her to show and tell.
They showed it to the teacher,and the kids liked it well.
She is on display for all of them to see.
The story behind her wood is snot something you can clearly see.

Intrusive thoughts
I was on the top
of a Civil War fort
with no guardrails
as the Georgia
sky shone cold
blue sun at my
wind-chapped face
I looked over the side
and spent the next
10 minutes imagining
if I accidentally
cannonballed off
the ramparts
to the
grass/cement/tour guide
below
Intrusive thoughts
Brain burps
little blips of
cerebral gas
and tonight
we broke the
bed frame
then put
the mattress
on the floor
to sleep
but my...

stay safe
my sincerity bleeds honesty
my fragility answers you
from hurt spatter, I talk to you
emerging is vulnerability
my thoughts are turning
and I speak in whispers with a soft voice
this is who I am
truth be told I hid myself away
but you noticed me, didn't you?
me with sparklers in my hands
a child who never grew
lost in neverland
abandoned in the dark
with thoughts, I made it to safety
not knowing what happened in the dark
my mind never lets me see through the haze
don't tell me what...

Black dressed crowds
Read this out loud to the black dressed crowed
Im sorry if this letter is the way you found out.
Blow me a kiss to the skys
Or
Peace sign to the ground
Find me in the mirror
In the shadows out the way
In the wind thru the mountains
In the sounds of the rain
Im sorry if your sad
This wasnt for you
I just couldn't cope alone in the head of which I've grew.
