A toy
I was just a toy for you,
you broke me more than once,
jokingly strangled by a pillow,
stabbed with a hot poker
Arms and legs were torn off,
a big gash in the head,
and I was thrown by the road,
at the mercy of fate
Do you remember the day
You brought me home,
do you remember playing?
we did not know the end to
happiness
But one day you changed,
Began to play in a different way,
and honestly you knew how
to take out your pain on me
I know that you just forgot,
I don’t blame...

Struggling
There was this lady stifling in her corset
Dancing, twirling and suffering to the very last set
But she dreamed of killing the dressmaker
Who lured her and spoke of her looking smarter and sexier
Yet she would never stoop so low as to go on a stupid diet.

neglect's child
stir emotion
let it have its say
little broken bone feelings
with hairline fractures of sorrow
they mend but never heal
scarred anguish
speaks from the depths
there is a little girl frozen
inside the blue room of regret
she cries for yesterdays
never forgotten
born as tomorrow's
latest abortion
they died before given a chance
to exist
each named hope
were crushed inside of denial
the breath strangled from them
by this great liar
he the grim reaper
for...

Untitled Words
I suggested
maybe making art
is making love...
Well then, I'm obviously
not an artist
he said
Then proceeded to
sing my heart
in arpeggios of red
and broad brush strokes of black,
Rhyming notes
with colours
in a furious dance
Until my fumbling words
suddenly fell into harmony
making sense
resonating
not alone
maybe making art
is making love...

Apocrypha Of The Soul
we can live in our truth
all damned day
but at the end of 'that' day
we always have to juxtapose our truth
with the truth that reigns supreme
as Consequence
yeahhh..we can bask..submerge in our truth
luxuriate in homemade baths
filled with all that opaque lathery nirvana
full of rainbow bubbles..
ohhh..they're sooo bubble-luscious
ain't they?
then ...one by one...
the bubbles begin to pop
bloop....bloop...bloop-bloop...bloop
a series of bloopers begin to...

LAUNCHING INTO REJECTION
LAUNCHING INTO REJECTION
Launching myself into the idea of something hopeful,
throwing myself into the notion of possible happiness,
jumping head first into something that could be.
Each and every time I usually recieve a REJECTION
a steady reminder that I am not truly wanted,
that sharp feeling of not ever being choosen,
a constant pain and ache of not being worthy.
Unworthy of being seen and loved, of being picked
not considered to be desirable enough to take a chance,
someone willing to jump all in with me, what could be,
...

a need to remember
secret winds,
soft voices
remembered
between
each breath,
restless depths
afraid
of crowded
streets,
abandoned
in shadows,
my loneliness
is everything,
soft voices
remembered
between
each breath,
restless depths
afraid
of crowded
streets,
abandoned
in shadows,
my loneliness

White, Uptight, and Out-a Sight!
Yoked to a worthwhile endeavor
Perhaps even hatred might be redeemed
But to live in that fashion forever
Would be a nightmare forever redreamed.
If such a status remained persistent
I'd consider the Grim Reaper's blade
And ponder becoming nonexistent
Than put up with the shit that rude people spade!
Oh, I hear arguments from those that hate
The "mean old" politically correct...
That America will somehow be great
When courtesy itself gets no respect!
Yes, it's inconvenient to be diplomatic,
Especially, if you...

1957 DeSoto
Premonition in the ignition,
neath the moon's quinine
reflecting off the taxi hack
hearing the rods knocking
listening to the raven's squawk
no chrome between its teeth
in the corn fields near Tupelo
near the zombie stalks
a rusted-out DeSoto
once a beauty now no lining
where I sat and listen to the radio,
to Wolfman Jack,
coming to me from WDUP
neath the moon's quinine
reflecting off the taxi hack
hearing the rods knocking
listening to the raven's squawk
no chrome between its teeth
in the corn fields near Tupelo
near the zombie stalks
a rusted-out DeSoto
once a beauty now no lining
where I sat and listen to the radio,
to Wolfman Jack,
coming to me from WDUP
