What is left
Sometimes I don't know
What keeps me here
What tortures me enough to stay
I can't tell what I am anymore
A roll of flesh
Wanting nothing more than decay
To be consumed by earths hunger
or
A demon devouring itself away?
What keeps me here

I can't tell what I am anymore

you left me
You smoked from the bong
That blurred the lines
And numbed the ache
That they left within you.
The lingering memories
You couldn't help but remember
Somehow always overrode
The memories we made
While trying to fix you.
So confined in the lucid
You infused your body with intoxications
Always ignoring
My weeping sorrow
You left me
Trying to recollect your being in my head
Whispering to your ghost
“Why do I have to remember?”
That blurred the lines
And numbed the ache
That they left within you.
The lingering memories
You couldn't help but remember
Somehow always overrode
The memories we made
While trying to fix you.
So confined in the lucid
You infused your body with intoxications
Always ignoring
My weeping sorrow
You left me
Trying to recollect your being in my head
Whispering to your ghost
“Why do I have to remember?”

Journal entry - Please Come Sweet Death
Journal entry for December 17, 2024
The nights bleed into days, a blur of mistakes I can't erase. My veins pulse with the poison I thought was my escape. I've danced with too many shadows, let my body be a temple where many unworthy prayers were whispered.
The faces of my fleeting lovers haunt me. Memories of their entrance at the temple door brought pleasures at such great price. My child, an angel born of my lusts, deserves a life I can no longer give.
I'm staring down the barrel of my mortality as the reaper's whisper grows louder. I've loved fiercely,...

Like A Scene From An Eli Roth Movie
We found poor
Natalie stripped,
hanging and
dripping blood
into a candle
that's beneath her.

Putting a log in my fire
As I picked up a log for the fire.
Opening the door I looked in and saw in.
Before me was a view to describe.
Entranced I stared before me. glowing embers of fire.
Space i spied for my log to go.
Feeling the breeze, felt the glow of the heat.
The way the log were positioned.
The flames all aglow, looked like a city on fire.
Incandescent Crimson and Red like inside of hell.
Or when hell comes to dinner.
Fire , fire everywhere. Walls and buildings a blase
No escape from this. And you known it!
Yet this nightmare...

Seasons of Lust
Twigs grow tender, leaves unfurl,
Harvest comes for all young girls.
The daughters marvel at the sight,
Their bodies blooming, in nature's light.
Formed in mother’s womb now dust,
The daughter writhing, sows in lust.
Embrace the change, this season's heart,
For you, dear child, are nature's art.

For you, dear child, are nature's art.

Not Even A Memory
The tongues of fire
In bones and dust
An empire rotting
Bent steel and rust
The fall of kingdoms
Cold march of time
The age of reason
Still wonders why
Smoke and ashes…
I’ve seen the future in ashes
The world eaten by the sun
Watched my family turn to dust
Where the rivers used to run
I’ve seen the end of history
The world is just a dream
Passing through the dark of time
No matter how I scream
Not even a memory…
In bones and dust
An empire rotting
Bent steel and rust
The fall of kingdoms
Cold march of time
The age of reason
Still wonders why
Smoke and ashes…
I’ve seen the future in ashes
The world eaten by the sun
Watched my family turn to dust
Where the rivers used to run
I’ve seen the end of history
The world is just a dream
Passing through the dark of time
No matter how I scream
Not even a memory…

Time ticks away...
Time ticks away...
You want time to pass quickly at work, so you may go home or go partying? Have fun!
But those are moments of your life you never get back.
You can't wait for Christmas, Summer or that
long awaited vacation...
...or even your favorite TV shows to have
their new fall episodes...
...then Halloween, Thanksgiving and
Christmas, again - has it been another year
already?
Someone won't be at the table this year...
Their time sadly is up!
Children want to grow up fast...

May as Well be Dead
I can't remember how to smile
So many years of sadness
Piled upon loneliness
I think, a long time ago, some held me in warm arms
But I think it might just have been a fantasy
I hurt inside so hard I can't tell what is in pain
I think it might be my heart but I don't know
I don't remember what my heart felt like
Some distant echoes, a noise like a drum
But it has faded away beneath a sheet of white noise
The pain only goes away when I fall asleep
When i dream of shadows that surround me in screams
Life is only a gift when it feels...
