Mummified
He wrote for 70 days
before he got started
a single love note
within each single strip
Obsessed with the process
inoculation for preservation
of my hollowed body
with white linen
My tortured love
gently handles me
with black gloves
and quiet care
His mummified bride
leaving my heart inside
because it's aorta pipes once
played music to the tone of an organ
So wherever I go
I'll be a big fabric star
spilling into the afterlife
with trails of cloth for him to...
before he got started
a single love note
within each single strip
Obsessed with the process
inoculation for preservation
of my hollowed body
with white linen
My tortured love
gently handles me
with black gloves

leaving my heart inside
because it's aorta pipes once
played music to the tone of an organ

I'll be a big fabric star

Erosion of Time
Time has been unforgiving
to my mortal wounds.
My soul lay exposed
beneath a bone white moon.
Contemplation at the day's end.
Is time a formidable opponent
or a faithful friend?
When will it be our time?
Will a ladder to eternity
be there to climb?
Who will read my final rhyme?
We waste our days,
in a grossly over thought maze.
You may cherish a memory
Were you even present or
did your attention flee?
We are told the now
is where happiness resides
The abysmal past
is our usual alibi. ...

My soul lay exposed

Contemplation at the day's end.

Dreams, Streams & Waterfalls
This life has had it's way
This place has had its way with me
This loss that burns so cold
Won't back down it will never go away
These dying breaths are fading now
Seems like breathing has lost its charm
That flame i once felt inside
Seems the glow finally died
The memories i had of you
And the place where we ran through
Streams and waterfalls
The memories are fading now
Just like the strength that carried us through
Dreams and waterfalls
Is this what it will come to?
A drowning pool of hopeless...
This place has had its way with me
This loss that burns so cold
Won't back down it will never go away
These dying breaths are fading now
Seems like breathing has lost its charm
That flame i once felt inside
Seems the glow finally died
The memories i had of you
And the place where we ran through
Streams and waterfalls
The memories are fading now
Just like the strength that carried us through
Dreams and waterfalls
Is this what it will come to?
A drowning pool of hopeless...

I Wish I Was Aborted
Grab a rope and grab a chair
feet are going in the air
May seem careless, may seem weak
not your approval i hope to seek
Left a notebook saying why i did it all over there
Who am i kidding no one ever seemed to care
Any impact i had will just fade away
Everybody says you can do anything as a young man
Even though i tried this was the one thing that i could plan
Enjoy the ramen i had stashed away
Consume the maggots, that's the price you have to pay
feet are going in the air
May seem careless, may seem weak
not your approval i hope to seek
Left a notebook saying why i did it all over there
Who am i kidding no one ever seemed to care
Any impact i had will just fade away
Everybody says you can do anything as a young man
Even though i tried this was the one thing that i could plan
Enjoy the ramen i had stashed away
Consume the maggots, that's the price you have to pay

Kids, don't try this at home
He had seen on TV
An execution by hanging
Curious he was, he tried
How it is to hang
Execution means dying
Hanging is not a game
Execution means dying
He won't do it again
It was just a funny game
This caused his own death
An execution by hanging
Curious he was, he tried
How it is to hang
Execution means dying
Hanging is not a game
Execution means dying
He won't do it again
It was just a funny game
This caused his own death

Venomous Kiss Of His Fists
In lieu of a kiss, he used his fist
Felt that she dissed and he got pissed
Used his palms in lieu of a charm
Strangled, she couldn't raise her arms
Recited Psalms then said goodbye
Reached the finale of blackened eyes
She chose the wrong guy for a mate
Hindsight's 20/20; a twisted fate
Felt that she dissed and he got pissed
Used his palms in lieu of a charm
Strangled, she couldn't raise her arms
Recited Psalms then said goodbye
Reached the finale of blackened eyes
She chose the wrong guy for a mate
Hindsight's 20/20; a twisted fate

Bone Broth
Sometimes you’ve got to die
and somehow go on living;
plant a thriving summer garden
where winter buried your heart.
Fertilize the soil with your sorrows,
composted into lessons learned,
seasons weathered with experiences,
love tended to and abandoned;
how it all withers until it is watered
with compassion and fed perspective.
Knowing that long hours spent
under the light of truth of oneself
were worth the knowing,
and being known in equal measure.
And one day your heart, pruned
will be ripe for love and joy...
and somehow go on living;
plant a thriving summer garden
where winter buried your heart.
Fertilize the soil with your sorrows,
composted into lessons learned,
seasons weathered with experiences,
love tended to and abandoned;
how it all withers until it is watered
with compassion and fed perspective.
Knowing that long hours spent
under the light of truth of oneself
were worth the knowing,
and being known in equal measure.
And one day your heart, pruned
will be ripe for love and joy...

All The Best Guys Are Dead
Wish I could've met you
when you were still alive,
but this will have to do.
Videos and interviews--
I can see the real you, a kindred soul,
your demanding presence,
your wry smile,
behind everything else.
So now that you've skedaddled
in the middle of all your raging prime,
let's get to know each other, through the veil.
I would have laughed at all your dark jokes.
I would have been flinging my own, right next to you.
I would have waited in line for you.
Maybe it's me?
Michael died, after...
when you were still alive,
but this will have to do.

Time
As my mind traces back
voices from within
tell me to soul search
a personal energy
that resonates
changing my perspective
as multiple beings
alert me when my time will expire

Eventually [Nothing]
depression
oppression
expression
it’s all the same
creation of a breath
leading to eventual death

About to Expire
She's dead to the touch
Dead to the words written meaninglessly on this site
Dead to the eyes she looks through
She sees her reflection six feet under
