The Heart I Can’t Let Go
I know when I am in my head
Stare blankly at the wall
I look but do not focus
Don’t see anything at all
My mind it drifts farther away
And so I let it go
I wonder where it takes me to
A place that I well know
I feel it coming on this time
Although there is no why
Emotions that I’m so scared of
My thoughts and hopes to die
It’s like a runaway train
And I feel I’ve lost control
There’s nothing of my life left now
I’m thrown into this soul
For a moment I forget them all
My husband and the...

And so I let it go

A place that I well know

Although there is no why
Emotions that I’m so scared of
My thoughts and hopes to die
It’s like a runaway train
And I feel I’ve lost control
There’s nothing of my life left now

HALFWAY THERE (II) (2nd longer revision of original poem; 1-29-1997, East jetty of Flagship Hotel Pier, Galveston, TX)
i took a trolly
down to the beach
at the end of it s line
walked out to
the end of a jetty
looked out over
this vast gulf of mexicos
seemingly endless horizon
and longingly
thought to myself
with a heavy inner sigh
of momentary hopeful relief
from what little s now left of me
here at this point
of my life s present
long challenging
ongoing journey
in all it s worn...

Taint
There was a valley where all the good names emerged a tongue could produce
Where the sun shone keener, where the moon glowed serener
Artlessness of the absolute reigned supreme, offering not a chance to deuce
That was a valley, where the wind blew puckishly, days passed ever merrier
Multitude of creatures roamed the mirthful haven, critters and crawlers alike
Abundant was the sustenance, absent was the neediness
Aliments unknown to remainders grew on trees, each yielded a ton belike
Such was the valley, only in tales were famine and uneasiness
...

The Birthday Party
I ordered my own birthday cake
I even bought balloons
Invited friends and family
The party starts at noon
I broke up with my boyfriend
Actually he just dumped me
He couldn’t understand my mind
He asked to be set free
My tiny old apartment
Didn’t have a lot of space
I put out food to snack on
Afraid it’ll go to waste
My mom called first to cancel
After that it was my sister
One by one, they dwindled
My best friend too, I’d miss her
I set up streamers on the wall
Even though no one...

Sin and all of his friends
I have never known of love, but I have known of sin and all of his friends; and the lust that comes with them. I am so good at it, I am the best of them all, at pretending it does not hurt, knowing that someone would rather fuck me, than love me.
And maybe that is all I am good for, and how sad, that is.
That they could fuck me, spread my legs and sink into their little own piece of oblivion, but that they could not grow the spines to stick around, afterwards; that is perhaps, the saddest thing of all.
I have never known of a love, but I have known of the lust that comes...

As Above, So Below
The morning glaring sun, cast a glazing sheen on the traffic wet road
that winds into the misty depths.From the backstage of the blinding light,
the trucks fade slowly into view, with a massive form any other but mechanics..
Shapes looming closer and closer,roaring like thunder passing by, fast
as if winter has turned every thing ghostly eerie and scaring.While the bare trees,
lazily shed their dead leaves on the muddy lanes make the view reminiscent of some fairy tales
in some old books on the shelf..
I saw the end of the road...
that winds into the misty depths.From the backstage of the blinding light,
the trucks fade slowly into view, with a massive form any other but mechanics..
Shapes looming closer and closer,roaring like thunder passing by, fast
as if winter has turned every thing ghostly eerie and scaring.While the bare trees,
lazily shed their dead leaves on the muddy lanes make the view reminiscent of some fairy tales
in some old books on the shelf..

(17) Neverending Misery 12.05.23 @ 11:14pm
Suicide on my mind.
Wishing I could reverse time, rewind.
The day will come, I will no longer be here.
Life won’t be a problem anymore, nothing to fear.
If waking up in the morning isn’t a blessing, what is?
Anger and hatred go hand in hand, what’s this?
Life’s overrated, here’s my reality.
Love is dead, death by fatality.
It shouldn’t be like this, life on earth.
What’s the concept of life really worth?
I’m tired of pretending like everything’s alright.
Eyes glowing red as I’m running from the light.
When the time...
