Endless Self Torture
It’s that same song again, the one I imagine playing at my funeral.
A funeral I’m late to everyday.
Lying in bed,
I wait for someone to notice the dead body and have it removed.
But no one does because I’m not good enough to be dead yet.
I still breathe and bleed.
I’m still here, like a ghost stuck in a body.
Sometimes I wonder if I possessed this body because my soul was going to hell. That instead I’d rather torture myself and create my own hell.
The truth is what I desire the most is to never have existed.
How can one end their own...

Only Her
Im sick with knowing that its been me
I am the one who has brought this woman to her knees
Who has stripped all happiness from her eyes
Who offered this body up on a platter
to vicious men who didnt know how to even love themselves
much less care enough to handle her gently
And it was love
All along it was always love that she was in pursuit after
Forever searching losing pieces of herself along the way
willing to sacrifice her very damn soul to find
But she never did
In dark empty and silent rooms she would find herself
begging the...

Inanity
20/30
Inanity
Ever striving to be
being, becoming
licentious at everything
incorporating as a
practice (within anything)
rendering
enabling
inner essence void
As an empty vessel
I am now
quite capable
panoptic able
infinite virtuosity
At last, I am inherently
of sense, senses, self
without attachments
while still, quietly
not apart of all around
nor independently
free, existing
with others
53 unique words

Standard Timekeeping
Standard Timekeeping
There's a place of tranquility and pain;
Drenched in the downpour, reading the rain.
Life is darkness to the armor-less knight,
Destined to live with what's on her back
Forever guilty and all is right!
Desire-less to find another track.
Peaceful anguish is not subject to change.
The streets can be justice for the strange!
Meaningless suffering top off the night.
Why even try, there is no way back.
Into the doom, turning left nor right,
Like a freight train rumbling down the track.

The Torture Master
The damp basement floor
Infested with cockroaches
Through a creaking door
A maniacal man approaches
Covered in days of dirt
And a smell of rotten flesh
His untucked stained shirt
Unending torture expected next
He hobbles to the corner
And eyes up his next victim
Its too late to warn her
Pain will soon inflict them
He drags her by her hair
Over to his workshop table
Screaming tears of despair
But physically she's...
Infested with cockroaches
Through a creaking door
A maniacal man approaches
Covered in days of dirt
And a smell of rotten flesh
His untucked stained shirt
Unending torture expected next
He hobbles to the corner
And eyes up his next victim
Its too late to warn her
Pain will soon inflict them
He drags her by her hair
Over to his workshop table

last poem for "you..."
the addiction i had for you,
the intoxication i had for you
i have returned it all
yes, i have left you
i had seen you once on
the shining mountains of desires
n my empty eyes had
found peace once
i had placed
a lot of hopes on you
but i kept floating alone
in the river of hope
i kept sleeping alone
on the soft petals of red roses
i kept searching for you
in the smoke coming out of my two fingers
i wish you could see that...

Swallowed Me Whole
I tried to feel something
I loved her & she loved me
I don't know what happened
Everything was going well
Then all of a sudden, I got cold like there was a stranger next to me
I tried to get rid of the feeling but it swallowed me
She asked me what my problem was and how she can help
She was right next to me and it sounded like she was from another planet
I almost forgot her name
I still don't understand it
I was in love with her and then in a flash, I couldn't think of a single reason that I should be with her
I left her that night...
I loved her & she loved me
I don't know what happened

BRIDGES
I can almost understand why people leap from bridges,
Why they stand there, hearts heavy with fissures.
In a world that screams and shouts,
Yet never hears the whispers of despair that drown out.
The weight of silence is a killer,
A noose that tightens, makes the soul a thriller.
On the edge, they see it all:
The shattered dreams, the pain that stands so tall.
What’s it like to feel so hollow,
To search for hope in darkness, but only find sorrow?
They look down at the water, reflecting a void,

Why they stand there, hearts heavy with fissures.

Talking to Strangers about Sex and Sunsets
Whispered ectoplasm dawn
softly buries screaming ghosts,
broken are the weeping windows
thou her morning opening
swings silent doors open
If she forgets my name
by the evening rush-hour
distilled by memories of
vodka breath between her legs,
then temptation is merely another
limb in the human abattoir
softly buries screaming ghosts,
broken are the weeping windows
thou her morning opening
swings silent doors open
If she forgets my name
by the evening rush-hour
distilled by memories of
vodka breath between her legs,
then temptation is merely another
limb in the human abattoir

Not suffering alone (PTSD)
When we are under a heavy load of stress, it will take a more deeper hold upon the mind and soul, sometimes taking you where you've been and gone through this cycle of life. For sure we sometimes, have to reevaluate our own personal thoughts, on a time ⌚ in our lives that the damage has, already been done. Mentally and physically and emotionally, draining us slowly as it begins to take us back in time. When we were in a a foreign country fighting in war zone, fighting in a war zone that is not our war to be fighting for the freedom of it's own people's. YET still there is a down side,...

Overcast
Into a quiet overcast,
I am slowly fading.
With cloudy skies, half-empty gardens,
and a fresh breeze,
soothing my mind for a while
until they seep into my cracks.
Cloudy, empty,
and breezy,
are what become of me,
what my soul echoes from.
I am slowly fading
into a quiet overcast.
I am slowly fading.
With cloudy skies, half-empty gardens,
and a fresh breeze,
soothing my mind for a while
until they seep into my cracks.
Cloudy, empty,
and breezy,
are what become of me,
what my soul echoes from.
I am slowly fading
into a quiet overcast.
