Dissolution
The streets tonight
are covered by a thick
cloak of fog;
the misty air hides
the true essence
of the being.
The faceless creature,
who's shame goes
beyond space and time,
finally can retrieve
from his life without
having to face the slaughter
of his agonising soul.
He can shout out his delirium
without being judged
a failure by his peers.
Let him be. Let him fade away.
He wants a forever sleep.
What others see as life
is a false illusion created by death.
Useless emotions seeping...
are covered by a thick
cloak of fog;
the misty air hides
the true essence
of the being.
The faceless creature,
who's shame goes
beyond space and time,
finally can retrieve
from his life without
having to face the slaughter
of his agonising soul.
He can shout out his delirium
without being judged
a failure by his peers.
Let him be. Let him fade away.
He wants a forever sleep.
What others see as life
is a false illusion created by death.
Useless emotions seeping...

Shamatha
Cumulus clouds obscure the clarity of mind.
I pay no attention, these thieves of my abide.
Invading, pervading make vague the perception,
Make hidden the sphere of clear apprehention.
One wandering thought, or dull heavy sense,
Disturbs a pure balance of calm brilliance.
The jackals and wolves of the base inclinations,
Strip adepts' quiescense of stilled penetration.
The wanting and hating of mere gross illusion,
Make sway of the peace and cause restless delusion.
No centre to find and lacks any circumference,
But...

Sonnet 1
Upon his soul he is rich
But lonely grows the feast,
Without love, it is the least
No prayers could unfix,
There to be none to share
No fairest one within sight,
Completely alone, day and night
Abundantly left without care,
So well he doth turned old
As the years steadily build,
Leaving him unfulfilled
Until his last breath turned cold,
The earth, one to accept
In it's grasp, he so gently kept.
But lonely grows the feast,
Without love, it is the least
No prayers could unfix,
There to be none to share
No fairest one within sight,
Completely alone, day and night
Abundantly left without care,
So well he doth turned old
As the years steadily build,
Leaving him unfulfilled
Until his last breath turned cold,
The earth, one to accept
In it's grasp, he so gently kept.

Seasons
Seasons come, seasons go
Look for the sun out my window
Colours come, colours go
Look for the sun out my window
The stars are so far away
The night sends her love
She keeps me locked away
I am her lover, her concubine, her bitch
Daylight she brings the pain
I am a slave to her icy touch
Curl up beside her empty heart
Longing for a touch that never seems to come
Seasons come, seasons go
Look for the sun out my window
Colours come, colours go
Look for the sun out my window
Look for the sun out my window
Colours come, colours go
Look for the sun out my window
The stars are so far away
The night sends her love
She keeps me locked away
I am her lover, her concubine, her bitch
Daylight she brings the pain
I am a slave to her icy touch
Curl up beside her empty heart
Longing for a touch that never seems to come
Seasons come, seasons go
Look for the sun out my window
Colours come, colours go
Look for the sun out my window

Tired, Exhausted
Tired, exhausted
To fall asleep, rest my eyes
My heart, my head
To keep moving I must
My legs grow heavy
Moving slow thru this quicksand
Swallowing, suffocating
I will lay down only for a few... “NO! I have to keep moving”
But sleeps comes and I must fight...
The mountain grows higher, darker at times
Must find shelter from this ongoing storm
I scream but the echo off the emptiness
Fades till it is swallowed
Entombed in this lost world of despair
Sleeps comes with a price
Nights and the days bleed...
To fall asleep, rest my eyes
My heart, my head
To keep moving I must
My legs grow heavy
Moving slow thru this quicksand
Swallowing, suffocating
I will lay down only for a few... “NO! I have to keep moving”
But sleeps comes and I must fight...
The mountain grows higher, darker at times
Must find shelter from this ongoing storm
I scream but the echo off the emptiness
Fades till it is swallowed
Entombed in this lost world of despair
Sleeps comes with a price
Nights and the days bleed...

Blueprint For Despair
The void inside me is so vast I am
amazed that a delicate breeze
doesn't knock me over.
I am lost, alone, and misunderstood.
A crust of self defense so thick that I
smother inside, and still I continue the act.
Pacino's got nothing on me, baby.
I cry alone, punch walls, and scream in
raging frustration because I don't exist; I
fucking hunger to exist.
I did not create a life; I allowed life to destroy me.
This, my friends, is a blueprint for despair.
amazed that a delicate breeze
doesn't knock me over.
I am lost, alone, and misunderstood.
A crust of self defense so thick that I
smother inside, and still I continue the act.
Pacino's got nothing on me, baby.
I cry alone, punch walls, and scream in
raging frustration because I don't exist; I
fucking hunger to exist.
I did not create a life; I allowed life to destroy me.
This, my friends, is a blueprint for despair.

To blame
My music's on
That familiar beat
But I'm alone
As I fall asleep
Tv turned on
Its to loud
Look upto the sky
Another rain cloud
I try to laugh
I try to smile
I tell myself
Everything goes bad once and awhile
All to often
Its all the same
I ask myself
Are I to blame
That familiar beat
But I'm alone
As I fall asleep
Tv turned on
Its to loud
Look upto the sky
Another rain cloud
I try to laugh
I try to smile
I tell myself
Everything goes bad once and awhile
All to often
Its all the same
I ask myself
Are I to blame

Address: Anywhere
I know so little
oblivious, serenity
sipping chamomile tea
gentle waves lick corridors of the mind
whirling my thoughts
to heap of hurt
down the street
somewhat..comforted
seeing him
night after night
curled on the cold cement
ten feet from the corner, aslant
to a headstone
anchoring the vanishing warmth;
suitcase bulging with secrets
the chipped stars glimmered
in his silver hair
peeking from thin layers of frayed covers
colorless as dishrag canvas
the porcelain moon in its bedrock ...

New Safe Place
One step forward, two steps back
it's never enough, there's always something I lack
Give and give until there's nothing left
losing pieces of myself I should have kept
Not recognizing myself is my biggest fear
more falls away and I feel that point is near
The point of no return, leaving only a ghost
my soul lost, a bleeding heart resides within a dead host
Cut off from that which resembles or induces peace
my mind in overdrive, a tornado that will never cease
It feels as if the world is closing in
crushed by my failures and my...

My Days
The days are dull
And full of sadness
Sinking further and further
Into the depths of madness
The days are long
And getting longer still
Leaving me with my thoughts
And not enough will
The days keep going
And still I feel I'm behind
Stuck in this place
Where I am confined
The days that I count
Keep on adding up fast
Leaving me with memories
Of nothing but the past
And full of sadness
Sinking further and further
Into the depths of madness
The days are long
And getting longer still
Leaving me with my thoughts
And not enough will
The days keep going
And still I feel I'm behind
Stuck in this place
Where I am confined
The days that I count
Keep on adding up fast
Leaving me with memories
Of nothing but the past

My Heart
You've locked the doors
You've locked your heart
Refusing us another start
You know our parting
Lays so heavy on my heart
Tho you still remain so very hard
Everything I feel
Everything I felt
Is now slowly beginning to
Fade away and melt
Cause you hurt me
My heart is not strong today
Now I just look then turn away
But I still find the strength to pray
That you may find what your looking for anyway
You've locked your heart
Refusing us another start
You know our parting
Lays so heavy on my heart
Tho you still remain so very hard
Everything I feel
Everything I felt
Is now slowly beginning to
Fade away and melt
Cause you hurt me
My heart is not strong today
Now I just look then turn away
But I still find the strength to pray
That you may find what your looking for anyway
