blank
inscrutable silence
deafens
imagined slights
and invisible papercuts
firing test shots across the bow
She sits frozen, waiting.
The latchkey kid
with a sandwich
and a voice on cassette
It was supposed to make her feel
cherished
….

flame
watch something
you cannot see,
feel something
you cannot touch,
but
like a flame,
tormenting me,
betraying
and disclosing
my pain,
fire,
i address her,
she would be
too much
for the sensation,
too much
for the truth,
my destination,
my destruction,
my once
living heart,
consumed,
those demons
may have lessened,
but it's passion
stays content
collecting
my ashes.

In this drunken state
In this drunken state I'm in
Smoking summoning the beast with in
A demon that lies asleep within
A sin
Like seeds that sprouts deep with in
Seeds of discord
That's like a sword that penetrates my heart
Unleashing all the demons Locked away within
I'm in this drunken state for the sake of pain and love
I trusted her
Now I find myself forsaking love
All because of her
Showing her all the love and affection
And she's not even in my section
If I could I...
Smoking summoning the beast with in
A demon that lies asleep within
A sin
Like seeds that sprouts deep with in
Seeds of discord
That's like a sword that penetrates my heart
Unleashing all the demons Locked away within
I'm in this drunken state for the sake of pain and love
I trusted her
Now I find myself forsaking love
All because of her
Showing her all the love and affection
And she's not even in my section

A Light Reflected
Reaching the sky
Spires to touch the heavens
The sun refracting of the glass
Like fingers reaching for a dream
Reaching towards a future
A destination unhindered
The ground roared
Shaking, a brief moment
A brief flash struck
Stones falling
Crashing to the earth, dust rising to settle
Rain came, went for days, weeks
Months turned to years
Nothing stirred, no sound to be heard
Alone the structure stood
Cold seeping into its open windows
Crawling across its floors
Warmth of life inside now...
Spires to touch the heavens
The sun refracting of the glass
Like fingers reaching for a dream
Reaching towards a future
A destination unhindered
The ground roared
Shaking, a brief moment
A brief flash struck
Stones falling
Crashing to the earth, dust rising to settle
Rain came, went for days, weeks
Months turned to years
Nothing stirred, no sound to be heard
Alone the structure stood
Cold seeping into its open windows
Crawling across its floors
Warmth of life inside now...

Masks
The lying mirror
whispers,
you are brave,
and noble,
wearing the the face we wish to see,
hiding our loneliness,
dying inside
in the masks so carefully chosen
"Does this mask go with these high heels"
Pretend intimacy
and deep communion,
our masks never slipping,
never allowing anyone inside
as false faces...

THE ENTRAPMENT
THE ENTRAPMENT
Where as much I do weep at knowing the joy, the warmth, the feeling at peace, the comfort of a warm embrace, sweet kiss, the fire
But I am unable nor want to compete knowing I know the soft caresses, the warm embraces, lucious kisses and raging desire
Where as much I do weep at caring too much, remembering moments shared that may never happen again, loving too deep
But I am unable to respond other than what is true to me, offer you what I have and then you decide, awaiting, and this is....
where as much I do weep
...

Connected Atmosphere
I’m not who I want to be
There’s too much smoke
For me to see
But hearing you breathe
Helps me fall asleep
You’re all I need
I’m tired of my mind
I don’t want you
I want to see the world
Through your eyes
I want to know why your heart aches
How’d you get all those blood stains
Tell me about all your mistakes
That you shouldn’t have made
I want to know everything
I promise I won’t run away
Dreaming in the dark
I want to know what’s like
To live in your heart ...
There’s too much smoke
For me to see
But hearing you breathe
Helps me fall asleep
You’re all I need
I’m tired of my mind
I don’t want you
I want to see the world
Through your eyes
I want to know why your heart aches
How’d you get all those blood stains
Tell me about all your mistakes
That you shouldn’t have made
I want to know everything
I promise I won’t run away
Dreaming in the dark
I want to know what’s like
To live in your heart ...

the man who wanted to be an emperor
The man who wanted to be Emperor
He was (is) a great president of his country, the two
presidents before him had nearly destroyed the country
one for being naïve, the other for a hopeless drunk.
The state was nearly in a state of collapse, thanks
to the kleptocracy before he took charge.
Who was this man? From a lowly functionary, he had
the ability to know something about the many
who stood in his way, ruthless and energic, he rose
through the ranks and won the highest price.
The country thrived under his leadership and the people ...

About----
She's a flake.
All she thinks of, is herself.
That's why she's dumped me on me.
She doesn't care about me.
She spends all her time dating all these different men.
My Dad!
He's always on tour.
Tour 2 where. I don't know.
I don't care any how.
Nobody does.
Nobody cares about me.
Not even me.
You do!
Do you!
No, you don't care about me.
All you care about is money?

Beating Up Dead Horses
So you want to beat this dead horse till you’re all hoarse?
Go ahead and be my guest
I thought this case was closed but I guess your forgot so…
Get it off your chest
again
and
again
I mean it’s exhausting watching you go around in circles
Let alone the isolation, it’s becoming quite the predicament
You’re slowly putting yourself in loneliness unknowingly
And when you find all the emptiness it’ll be your detriment
Perhaps you’re not ready to let go of the hate and hurt
It’s as if it...

DAZED & CONFUSED
DAZED & CONFUSED
I am often wandering about and I'm mixed-up & dazed.
Feeling so hopeless, empty, and so very horribly ashamed.
Not know who I'd turn to when I am feeling so crazed.
By so many who have and will continue to go unnamed.
Feeling clumsy and awkward, do I dare to even reach out?
I'm so unsure and unbalanced, riddled with self-doubt.
Mumbling on thoughts as I wander myself here and about.
Wearing my fake smile when really I wanna cry and pout.
My hearts shattered, so many pieces are lost or askew.
And my minds in...

SHHHH! BE STILL
Please be still my aching heart, try to deny myself of your sweet, precious memories
smother and cast out the lustful moans we shared and setting us both be free
Let them sink all the way back, let them calm then rest, letting them just be.
In the silence I cleanse and wipe away shadows of shared caresses & warm embraces
try not to remember the sunshine we'd bring, whenever a smile was on our faces
close and lock with a key, leaving it behind so no longer to recall or I'm able to see.
Too loud is the crushing precious moments together when you...
