Why
Why, oh why
Why, oh why, do I?
Why, oh why
Why, oh why, do I?
Let myself down
Leave myself open to your ridicule
Fake through a frown
Wake up feeling so miserable
My conscience has drowned
Downing shot, after shot, drinking round, after round
I’m on top,
not for long,
then I drop,
to the ground
Pray the fog
In my conscious
I’m lost in for now
just a cloud
That will pass
But my grasp
Is at half strength
I’m gasping
Drive fast
And by chance
Send my car...
Why, oh why, do I?
Why, oh why
Why, oh why, do I?
Let myself down
Leave myself open to your ridicule
Fake through a frown
Wake up feeling so miserable
My conscience has drowned
Downing shot, after shot, drinking round, after round
I’m on top,
not for long,
then I drop,
to the ground
Pray the fog
In my conscious
I’m lost in for now
just a cloud
That will pass
But my grasp
Is at half strength
I’m gasping
Drive fast
And by chance
Send my car...

Departed
I dreamt of beginnings new and free clear of a fated past.
To break the hold of a fractured life whose condemned to ever last.
What was lingers on to haunt my nights and curse the gift of day.
By the seemingly harmless casual inflictions that are his loving ways.
I wanted so much for you to know how close we might have been.
How different our life could have become if you had let me in.
You’ve taken my flesh in ways no one has ways others won’t dare.
Each drop I savor that quenches the thirst that I can hardly bear.
You’ve taken my soul for my need is...
To break the hold of a fractured life whose condemned to ever last.
What was lingers on to haunt my nights and curse the gift of day.
By the seemingly harmless casual inflictions that are his loving ways.
I wanted so much for you to know how close we might have been.
How different our life could have become if you had let me in.
You’ve taken my flesh in ways no one has ways others won’t dare.
Each drop I savor that quenches the thirst that I can hardly bear.
You’ve taken my soul for my need is...

World of Incomplete
Sometimes I'm glad people can't see the world like I do
Melancholy and all the patterns people use to lie to you
Everyone is so thrilled being swooned by the Haikus
But I find hatred's depth coming on quicker than I'd like it to.
Being bored to reason never solved a thing
But neither is being broken over and over again
I use to find beauty in my emptiness
Because I felt something would come and fill this abyss
But it never did.
Melancholy and all the patterns people use to lie to you
Everyone is so thrilled being swooned by the Haikus
But I find hatred's depth coming on quicker than I'd like it to.
Being bored to reason never solved a thing
But neither is being broken over and over again
I use to find beauty in my emptiness
Because I felt something would come and fill this abyss
But it never did.

What a Maniac
What do you see?
Tell me,
Do you see the Maniac in my eyes,
Or the broken mind?
Tell me,
Do you see the Monster who did his worst,
Or the Man who tried his best?
Tell me,
Do you see the Demon in my eyes,
Or the Man in sorrow?
Today, when I got out of the Tobacco Shop, I got eye contact with a woman who bypassed me with her friend.
I heard Her whispering;
"What a Maniac"
Tell me,
Do you see the Maniac in my eyes,
Or the broken mind?
Tell me,
Do you see the Monster who did his worst,
Or the Man who tried his best?
Tell me,
Do you see the Demon in my eyes,
Or the Man in sorrow?
Today, when I got out of the Tobacco Shop, I got eye contact with a woman who bypassed me with her friend.
I heard Her whispering;
"What a Maniac"

Agony!
I wonder if our sins could ever be forgiven,
I wonder what we did, could ever be undone.
An ineffable pain is aging inside our heart
What left behind is our time to realize!
Under the shadow of our egos, we clenched his heart,
And drowned his soul into the whirlpool of our pride.
…………………………………………………………………………
I miss him! I miss his touch over my face,
I miss the time when I felt he was so real.
I could see the stardust dropping from the sky,
When his tiny little fingers touched mine.
He enfolded our lives with happiness and joy,...

Snow
Smooth and heavy as snow silence pierced the moment violently.
Escaping its intent to destroy is a fable... traumatizing completely leaving nothing but what appears as water and air frozen into a coffin
Delicate and copious as snow.
Sullenness pierced the destitute violently.
Cramming all these overpowering hellions inside.
Shivers blow intricate snowflakes into my lungs making my breathing freeze... leaving me still and aware of the tiny sounds.
Listening to the insults seductively whispered.
There's this vicious scratch inside my voice box...

Fading Legacy
you speak as if defeated
and reminiscent of hopelessness
as you phrase longing on the terms of what you're heartsick for
and I've got advice easier to give than hear
when hindsight hopefuls sell wisdom on the premise of experience
and all you've got left is the will to believe in a light you can't see
in the midst of the shadows that keep you company
and I was you but I wont live in a sorrow blind to the blessing
contending with the weight of the past
find something to be thankful for
before you lose vision for the...

Mess
I wrote a poem today
I hate it so
I hate it so
The words sound like nonsense
And I've gone and fucked up the context
Broken things need not be fixed
Sometimes beauty can be messy
Sometimes beauty is purely empty
I hate it so
I hate it so
The words sound like nonsense
And I've gone and fucked up the context
Broken things need not be fixed
Sometimes beauty can be messy
Sometimes beauty is purely empty

lines leading nowhere ..
remember seeing poppies
on railway embankments
as the train hurries past
but now all one sees are scrapped
cars ..

The Truth About Goodbyes
Couldn't fathom such notions
While you held me in your strong arms
Dancing in the moonlight
Cat Steven's swirled in the air
Laughter and smiles filled
Your tiny cabin
Daddy's little girl
I wish I held you tighter
I wish you never left
Goodbyes are sprung
Upon us
And we are left
In sinking emptiness
I hate goodbyes
But how I wish
I could have back that
One night
Cherish your moments
For all is fleeting
And tonight
May be the night
Someone you love
May...
While you held me in your strong arms
Dancing in the moonlight
Cat Steven's swirled in the air
Laughter and smiles filled
Your tiny cabin
Daddy's little girl
I wish I held you tighter
I wish you never left
Goodbyes are sprung
Upon us
And we are left
In sinking emptiness
I hate goodbyes
But how I wish
I could have back that
One night
Cherish your moments
For all is fleeting
And tonight
May be the night
Someone you love
May...

Desolation
desolation gazing inward
across my expanded form
and finds me here, supine
struggling while accepting
these incongruent paths
twisting and curving
with sexy lines and a wicked
pair of eyes into a singular
cohesive, bloody train wreck
the aftermath of destruction
bringing grief
swallowed whole
dysfunction snapping
with its bared, sharp teeth
at rough un-pedicured heels
a suspicious, old stray dog
with unkempt, matted fur
