Fade
falling through memories I watch you fade
touching your soul we come close, then pull away
darkness of faith I love you utterly
captivating my heart you charm
spilling my secrets I tell you everything
my closest confidant
I need to tell you there is something missing
caress the feeling and talk to me
of today and always
my sorrow grows when you leave
with the knowledge I can't reach
to touch all the places you hide
my soul seeks yours
we fall apart and then make up
old hurts grow and distance is caused ...
touching your soul we come close, then pull away
darkness of faith I love you utterly
captivating my heart you charm
spilling my secrets I tell you everything

I need to tell you there is something missing
caress the feeling and talk to me

my sorrow grows when you leave
with the knowledge I can't reach
to touch all the places you hide
my soul seeks yours
we fall apart and then make up

Do you have compassion
I will always follow you to the end of time, for I will follow you in my need to sustain my life, for I will follow you as you have inspire me to think for thyself 🤔 in all my life situations, that seems to have me feeling like I'm drowning, in the sea of death and fear. 😨 For sure I will always follow you, as my thoughts become dangerous, to my own well being. 😞 For sure I will follow you as my life, becomes filled with nothing but confusion, and negative vibes, driving 😕 me on a two way street, yet going the wrong way. 😕 AS if I got a death wish that...

Down bad enough to ice the red wine
I’m on the floor
half drunk at noon
Merlot
with ice
A sin in wine world,
but it’s hot.
I want a cold drink.
Wine works
best for heartache.
Something about the way I
want to die after too much,
and how that feeling lingers…
yeah, that resonates
in my
stale bones
today.
I want to roll around in
my own shit,
my back against the
kitchen island
as my cat nudges my hand
I have a half full
bottle and an
empty heart
again
...

Me
I am on my hands and knees
Crawling through the soft earth
Feeling life beneath me
I am on my hands and knees
Crawling on the concrete
Manmade on purpose to control me
I am on my hands and knees
Crawling through the shards of glass
Being torn through without a care for me
I am on my hands and knees
Crawling, crawling through the sand
Too soft to stand, why don't you save me?
No more crawling, this was it.
I sunk down in the sand, the pit
Suffocating on my last respite ...
Crawling through the soft earth
Feeling life beneath me
I am on my hands and knees
Crawling on the concrete

Title, Poem, Refrain …
You always come back even though you never left
Heart
Irregular
3:30am love poem
Emotional
That’s the dreaded word
The audacity of wanting
I can’t sleep
Better to write
You think you’ll remember it in the morning
You won’t
You always come back but you never left
Great line
Went to take a leak
Did so
Got my phone
Writing this
Maybe I’ll sleep now
Maybe not
You always come back but you never left
The refrain
Poets are often song writers that never sing

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...

Broken
A hollowness in my chest
is filled up with
my tears
that no longer
have the power left
to barge the barriers
of eyes,
so now it's imprisoned
in my heart forever...
This ocean is turbulent
with my emotions,
I can't temper the tempest ;
a tornado has been forming
and my soul is being
sucked deep into this vortex
is filled up with
my tears
that no longer
have the power left
to barge the barriers
of eyes,
so now it's imprisoned
in my heart forever...
This ocean is turbulent
with my emotions,
I can't temper the tempest ;
a tornado has been forming
and my soul is being
sucked deep into this vortex

September
there's a stillness that reeks of...
...something not fully decayed
a haunting
darkness lingers
curling around awareness
crowding
trying to get a chokehold
as charcoal shades
blot out vibrant colors
not yet chilled by winter
yet no longer summer
& memories anchor to its existence
no matter how long
...or hard I try...
to forget them
constant guard
I cannot afford to slip
into the muted melancholy it offers
a fall beyond bearing
waiting for the first bright dying...

One of Them
Cold shadows collected, strewn through the night
Like a dark trousseau full of mourning and grief
As the remnants of ghosts and specters past
Gather around like a den of thieves
But my eyes could not distinguish life from death
The very fabric of reality has been lost to memory
With an emptiness that seems to weigh a ton
Where the silence feels quite deafening
There, secrets are whispered in frayed threads
Fractured and broken in mnemonic tones
Lost forever in the echoes of time
Knowing I’ll become one of them
Like a dark trousseau full of mourning and grief
As the remnants of ghosts and specters past
Gather around like a den of thieves
But my eyes could not distinguish life from death
The very fabric of reality has been lost to memory
With an emptiness that seems to weigh a ton
Where the silence feels quite deafening
There, secrets are whispered in frayed threads
Fractured and broken in mnemonic tones
Lost forever in the echoes of time
Knowing I’ll become one of them

Phallus Aforethought
Am I the only one who thinks it odd
that in all the annals of creation
there was once some strange craftsmanship from god
of darts incarnate by blood elation
and that love depends on circulation
of cocktail ingredients from parts...
in... genitourinary station...
subservient to all pulse pounding hearts
ever to find themselves a slave to love
and by such a bond seek the pleasure
thricely as thrilling as some god above
all of the other loves that we treasure...
and thus the links twixt love and...

A Song That Captures Our Rapture And An Individual Perspective
electricity oscillates
runs rampant as if alcohol is a super conductor
and we're the circuits linking it together
arcing from one to the next
until we vibrate the same frequency
the same harmony
tuned to her voice
we the milling rabble
await the next note
to play
try to fill empty ambiguities
that dance a moment before heading toward the
next high
the tune's amplified
hundreds of metres a second
a crashing wave of lightning
sparks a note within the collective
goose bumps raise on...
