New Kinda Down
Heavy handed often hard headed
Hot wire without a ground
Premium alcohol is now unleaded
Until insanity comes around
Digging deeper into violent acts
Rapid pulse beating hard
Money trumps stone cold facts
Another blatant disregard
Seems the world got the blues
Everyone wears a frown
Read the book missed the clues
Found a new kinda down

Digging deeper into violent acts
Rapid pulse beating hard
Money trumps stone cold facts
Another blatant disregard
Seems the world got the blues
Everyone wears a frown

She calls him her boyfriend, he calls her to f**k
She likes him because she could see his deep-seeded hatred for women
Every time they have sex, he thought of himself as some kind of slick con-man, managing to talk his way into her panties
He feels like a safe cracker
He knows this is his game and he's in complete control
He only visits her at her place
She's never been to his place, let alone not even sure on what town he lives in
He never bothers to ask her for her name or even age
He's been seeing her for about 4 years
She has no friends and no one she can trust, except him
She has a child who...

Leaving You
I tried to tell you so many times
I tried to put it so you would understand in rhyme
The best I can do is to say it straight
I hate to put more on your plate
My heart is not in what we have
Please don't cry, this is going bad
I tried to tell you so many times
I said and did things, but you were blind
You would have left me if it was the other way around
please do not crumble to the ground
My bags are packed no need for me to stay
I cannot bare to see you this way
You can hate me, curse me, do what...

come hither
come lovely one, come out of your hiding place
within the caress, there are shadows and lace
resist a reason you love who you love
cruelty is satisfaction with linear thoughts
you reside in the heavens
then burn upon entry
entering into a vow I know you'll keep it
Your star has always shone the brightest
now it is a flicker in the wind
collect your sea shells
open your mind
stifling my feelings
tears swell my chest
and I am alone again
hopscotch and hide and seek
scaring the restless spirits...

Syllabus
I deny nothing—
which fills me
with experience:
Love, hate, jealousy
greed, gluttony, lust—
murderous thoughts;
suicide, shame, surrender
I welcome those that come
offer tea, also time;
realize I'm learning—
so heed their syllabus
Sometimes it took weeks

Goodbye Summer
She tested us
Every way she could
Burned us to the ground
Sweat, humidity and frowns
That damn sun
Relentless
Long evenings
Moon lit calls
Walking with you
Sweet summer
Margaritas by the seaside
Lust in the air
No cares
Too hot
Too much rain
Too much traffic
Too much
It goes fast
Somewhere in August
Knowing this will end soon
Labor Day
Last call
We love summer
Hate the heat
Complaints
Melancholy has a way
Autumn on the horizon
Damn pumpkin...

frost watch
instinct keeps me poised
eyes darting
hovering near the shadows
always an exit within reach
winds can turn bitter
...with little warning
chilling to the bones
& I am...
deeply susceptible

LIKE WE THINK
Through this vortex of life we all have to learn, to walk away from the negativity, of our own thoughts and insight into the deepness of darkness. For sure it's necessary to understand, that there comes a time and place that we have to learn more about ourselves. FOR sure there's nothing really wrong, with wanna be off some where with, ME AND I WITH MYSELF. 🤔 FOR example sometimes we need to escape, from the negativity and drama and madness and chaos 😡 that's happening in the world. 🌎 But yet it's here and now I'm able to learn, to listen to the very deepness of the...

each day hurts
unfortunately,
i feel
just as
i look,
the sun
comes up,
hours pass
and then
the moon
waves,
another
morning
and things
haven't
changed,
my body
in pain,
i feel
it there
to greet
me each
new day.

loose ends
What secrets do you keep in the shadows of your mind?
What dreams do you chase when no one else can find?
Who was the first to break your heart, to make you cry?
What memories remain like echoes from a distant sky?
Do you have a place where you retreat to be alone?
What thoughts run through your head at home?
Have you ever whispered truths into the night air?
What fears do you hide, pretending they don't exist?
When you smile, is it genuine or is it a mask you wear?
What scars do you carry, sensitive and naked?
