Toxic Regime
Can someone please explain their logic?
I’m lost beyond measure it would seem
I got deja-vu the whole thing feels ironic
Once again living under this toxic regime

Hermetic Breakdown (collaboration with AfterSexDilemma)
Here I sit alone and broken
My owner is annoyed
Windows won't even open
I lay dormant here, stranded in a church parking lot
Jesus won't help me
The ignition clicks, the engine is shot
Maybe it's time to meet that junk pile in the sky
If I had wings, I'd surely learn how to fly
Inside I die.
A slow demise.
A stuttered stop.
My purpose was forgot.
My owners empathy is unwise.
My detriment is no surprise.
The church is an empty lot.
There's no god that I've got.
Just brutal sun skies.
Scrutinizing...

burn
come fiercely and burn the night
ashes on the wind keen
I'm in no mood now blow
insincerity of hope bleed truth
I am no toy
heathenistic I get from my knees and rise
insulting larceny stole my joy
petty thief of the heart
I want it back
I am willing a debt to my soul be paid
jilted storm where will you rain?
inside my pain you are welcome
twist my feelings until they are honest
lustful hex you are next to bleed tears
cold demeanor in the skies of a trickster
I hurt but I will get over it ...

Come To Bed
Why don't you come to bed?
Why don't you come to bed stop pacing back and forth?
What happened earlier and what was said means nothing in the afterthought?
Why don't you come to bed and just lay down?
I can see the weariness and the lines and the frown that you have on your face
lay down
why don't you come to bed and just forget about it?
Yeah I know it's easy for me to say forget about it
because you didn't experience anything like that before but I have
I see that you're angry and you're...

In Your Face
What you say to a poet should be
carefully measured, not edited.
Do not mistake caramel
and the sweetness
of silence for censorship.
If she is blind, she will still peel
one good layer of your laugh,
she will have an analyst come
to your window in the night
and scrape the breath
from your pane to ensure
you are not sneaking a secret --
if she is not blind she will
poke holes through the air,
a pocket to insert your 7th
grade fear of mundane,
you're exquisite talent
for evasion as a child, ...

When you one day fathom a brother,
(raised by the same father and mother),
proudly display the hat
of parochial scat...
you'll wish your brother was another!

I'LL BOTHER YOU NO MORE
YES
I am a slow
learner but
once I learn
it is never
forgotten or
worth spending
idle time trying
to go through
a dead-end..
I
tried being coy,
casual and up front.
sometimes feeling
a brief ray of hope;
BUT
I have learned another
lesson in the life
of a wannabe poet:
"Enough fooling yourself."
I
will never bother
YOU again.
P.S. No! I'm not leaving DUP. Thanks for your encouragement.

she used to look at me like she hated me
...my mother's mother...
wanted to erase my existence from her reality
mom always said it was all in my head
...that I was just being too sensitive
{I got that a lot growing up...}
until one holiday when I was 15
that woman sent a box of presents
lovely wrapped packages for mom & my sister
...complete with shimmery bows & pretty labels
each of them receiving warm fluffy robes
{they even had big pockets!}
...& matching slippers for them both ...

Hermetic Breakdown (collab with Vision_of_insanity)
Here I sit alone and broken
My owner is annoyed
Windows won't even open
I lay dormant here, stranded in a church parking lot
Jesus won't help me
The ignition clicks, the engine is shot
Maybe it's time to meet that junk pile in the sky
If I had wings, I'd surely learn how to fly
Inside I die.
A slow demise.
A stuttered stop.
My purpose was forgot.
My owners empathy is unwise.
My detriment is no surprise.
The church is an empty lot.
There's no god that I've got.
Just brutal sun skies.
Scrutinizing...

question loneliness
i have
begun to
question
loneliness,
rearrange
my thoughts,
whether
light day
or dark
of night,
i come
up with
the same
problems,
because
there is
no one
here to
help me
understand.
