Of Madness and Saffron - with Grace
In the labyrinth of my mind echoing footsteps
rebelling against the lords of insanity
dark academia from Mozart to Beethoven
like skulls with candles and ravens with keys
as your flesh becomes the rapture of my love
with decadent essence of madness and saffron
listening to the echoes of your steps
walking away on sludge towards wisdom light
against cacophonous sounds of dark protest
stay with me says lustful inky darkness
rains of blackness no velvety softness
and you drown in soul-searing loving
of the insidious kind.

Invisible Illness
lost the words
lost the time
stepping out of reality
stepping out of rhyme
struggle to find
the rules don’t apply
my mind
does not
comply
trying to define
something you can’t see
how to describe
invisibility
under gravity
these laws of
normality
circumvent me
sentience
swept aside
it is here I reside
slowly losing time
to this
mental illness

SWING
I had no idea how much you could miss someone. I mean from the morning until the dark. How you lost your happy place in the park someone took your swing and you're middle aged and acting out like you are aged five having a full-blown tantrum. Except a broken heart isn't playing games it feels like it is digging your own grave, but you are theoretically alive. Living on the outside but dying on the inside. It's hard to see the old routines when your heart high jacks your mind. You're a hostage and the taker but you can't find the negotiator.

How To Disappear Completely
Darkness breathes
Like a living thing
Thrumming rib bones
Exhaling smoke
And I can smell your
Breath for days
It’s getting harder
Just to breath
I am stagnant in stale air
Visiting my hollow stare
Upon a world of pain
Of predictable delusions
I dilute my presence
As my pupils dilate
Into distant dimensions
I can’t look away
I fade
Into the shadows
And d i s a p p e a r . . .

Becoming Homeless
love died that night
working late
16 walking home at two
seriously didn't have a clue
that no one gave a fuck
slept in some bushes
freezing
curled up
just a cat nap
then kept moving
got home after four
mom had gone out you see
fucking a beau
"I didn't realize you had no way home"
a fucking lie to hide the guilt
I was on my own
the night love cried
after that it didn't much matter
where I lived or died
working late
16 walking home at two
seriously didn't have a clue
that no one gave a fuck
slept in some bushes
freezing
curled up
just a cat nap
then kept moving
got home after four
mom had gone out you see
fucking a beau
"I didn't realize you had no way home"
a fucking lie to hide the guilt
I was on my own
the night love cried
after that it didn't much matter
where I lived or died

Premonition
Premonition
I’m gonna have a bad day
I can feel it coming on
It’s been a while, a laugh, a smile
Can’t tell anyone what’s wrong
I try to not think of my faults
There are so many to name
Tried so hard to be perfect
I can’t tell if I’m to blame?
Im not sure why you stay with me
Imperfect, full of flaws
I don’t cope well
This mind is hell
You don’t know me at all
I ask you why I’m good enough
The tears don’t scare you off
The many times my smile’s lied
Will you catch me when I fall? ...

For Safety
Love, that old snake,
comes to thaw my heart
with its honey-sweet kisses.
I light a fire to keep it away
and my heart in the freezer.

Field Dust
I remember yesterday of pale skies and storms on
the arisen. The gathering of winds taking the leaves.
A shadow of silent memories inhaling stillness of
sorrow without pause. Erasing the heartaches of
gales. Now reflecting on echoes of tearful lore
and yesterday's prose. Filling a void as widdershins
return me to my exhumed plot of field dust. Relieving
me of my evidentry. In my morbid fascination drawing
the short end of a straw shaking the gravel sack. But,
who's lorry now carts me off?

Roar
Eating ravioli from a family-size tin can. Too much
life and reality in one fuckin' day. Root canal and a
sandwich at Subway. Lack of sleep and debauchery's
cliche, choking on an arsonist-filtered cigarette. My
Parakeet suffering from a compulsive disorder. A
pothole swallowed my SUV. Wondering which can
of Chef Boyardee I will eat tomorrow. Too much
reality in one fuckin' day. Whatever happened
to Captain Kangaroo?

Fear
Fears
I fear what is inside of me
I fear my darkest thoughts
I fear I won’t control myself
The battle in me lost
Tomorrow is a new day
I fear how it will end
I fear that it’s another one
A day without a friend
The fears control my thinking
I question every step
Will today I make one more mistake?
Will today hold my last breath?
I fear the end is coming
So I write down fear and pain
I share my fear with others
Otherwise I’d go insane
I fear there’s someone out there
Who is...
I fear what is inside of me
I fear my darkest thoughts
I fear I won’t control myself
The battle in me lost
Tomorrow is a new day
I fear how it will end
I fear that it’s another one
A day without a friend
The fears control my thinking
I question every step
Will today I make one more mistake?
Will today hold my last breath?
I fear the end is coming
So I write down fear and pain
I share my fear with others
Otherwise I’d go insane
I fear there’s someone out there
Who is...

Reasons
A shot to clear my mind
A smoke to ease the thoughts
A thunderstorm surrounds me
Crying with me cause I’m lost
A prayer to give me hope
A meal to survive
A coffee that keeps me awake
To write my pain at night
A husband that I lean on
A child to make it clear
There’s more to life than I expect
Although at times not clear
A heart that is no longer mine
I had to give away
I know he would care for it more
Than I would anyway
A smile to mask the grieving
A laughter made of lies ...
A smoke to ease the thoughts
A thunderstorm surrounds me
Crying with me cause I’m lost
A prayer to give me hope
A meal to survive
A coffee that keeps me awake
To write my pain at night
A husband that I lean on
A child to make it clear
There’s more to life than I expect
Although at times not clear
A heart that is no longer mine
I had to give away
I know he would care for it more
Than I would anyway
A smile to mask the grieving
A laughter made of lies ...

The Price of Depression
Depression steals so much from me
My smiles, memories
The good ones I somehow let go
The bad ones on repeat
The joy that I once felt for things
It slowly disappeared
And now there’s no joy left in me
Replaced with tears and fears
I try to do it all to smile
To give my heart a purpose
I try in vain and go insane
And deep inside I know this
My family is my reason now
Waking up became a chore
I do not leave so they don’t grieve
I feel they deserve more
I smile at the things I should ...
My smiles, memories
The good ones I somehow let go
The bad ones on repeat
The joy that I once felt for things
It slowly disappeared
And now there’s no joy left in me
Replaced with tears and fears
I try to do it all to smile
To give my heart a purpose
I try in vain and go insane
And deep inside I know this
My family is my reason now
Waking up became a chore
I do not leave so they don’t grieve
I feel they deserve more
I smile at the things I should ...
