Howling to the Moon
(Visual as well)
He's a lone wolf
Traveling through the wilderness
Looking for the tenderness
He can only get from love
He's lost ever battle
And has nothing on his mantle
And he howls to the moon above
He howls to the moon above
She's a little lamb
A stray that's broken from her herd
A lonely girl as gentle as a bird
Who wasn't thinking about love
He manages to maneuver her
And he finds himself using her
And he howls to the moon above
He howls to the...

And has nothing on his mantle

She's a little lamb

Struggle
I struggle with the thought of not being good enough.
Good enough to be seen or even noticed by anyone.
I struggle with wanting to hear others talking to me instead of only hearing their silence.
I struggle to keep my thoughts good instead of having my thoughts turn evil and trying to convince me everyone secretly hates me.
I struggle with am I good enough or if I should succumb to my evil thoughts and let them win.
Good enough to be seen or even noticed by anyone.
I struggle with wanting to hear others talking to me instead of only hearing their silence.
I struggle to keep my thoughts good instead of having my thoughts turn evil and trying to convince me everyone secretly hates me.
I struggle with am I good enough or if I should succumb to my evil thoughts and let them win.

The pursuit of the archaic romantic fiction of royal and aristocratic blood!
By Stanley Collymore
Oh the irony! Of the rabid
rabid right coupled with their
odious organ grinders
so ad nauseam banging on
in their chagrin, over the
right to free speech and
freedom of expression,
quite dishonestly and
disingenuously very
self-absorbedly to;
furiously angered
no noticeably-so
platform, given
for their kind.
Now look at them self-
righteously fuming.
And only because
the National Trust have in
their moral wisdom, but
these racist...

IF YOU HAVE NO CLUE
Here I am as a woman as I fight back the tears from falling from my eyes, as they fall from the depth and deepness of my heart exposing the mere truth of my hurt and pain. For you promise me that you weren't like all the others men's I had within my life, but yet I've come to realize that it was all nothing more than lies as you broke my heart in two. As you tried to convince me that what you were giving me was love, when in fact it wasn't really love at all just another knot upon your belt. For you never truly understood what it means to love someone unconditionally with honor and respect....

Repression
A memory buried, six feet under
On an unmarked grave; left a riddle
The shovel tossed out, in the ocean
Traces of blood, cleaned with bleach
Mind being protective like a mother
Cut out the once trauma I faced
Replaced the hole, with teddy bears
From time to time, the earth shakes
Innocence cracks, for hell to breathe
Adamant to jump, into inferno
Join my circle, of leafless trees
But mother tweaks my chemicals
With sleep and indulgence
In alcohol and lechery
Blue screens and THC.

Innocence cracks, for hell to breathe

Chemo
This
blood soaked
phallic symbol
dangling between my legs
is about as useless
as a statue
of St. Gianna Beretta Molla
on the corner
of 7th ave and anywhere
if a bird took a dump
the subsequent vibrations
would certainly
cause a junkie earthquake
moments later
it is all like
some top 40's song
on the radio
from a different era

Alone In A Crowd
She wanders through the crowd
As is she wasn't there.
No one acknowledges her presence
She is not but a breath of air.
She opens her mouth but no sound is heard.
She walks but leaves no footprint in the sand.
She feels no warmth within her heart
She hears no one call her name.
There's nothing more painful
As being alone in a crowd.
Nothing so crushing
As having no voice.
See her
Hear her
Feel her love
She has so much she wants to give.
As is she wasn't there.
No one acknowledges her presence
She is not but a breath of air.
She opens her mouth but no sound is heard.
She walks but leaves no footprint in the sand.
She feels no warmth within her heart
She hears no one call her name.
There's nothing more painful
As being alone in a crowd.
Nothing so crushing
As having no voice.
See her
Hear her
Feel her love
She has so much she wants to give.

Quando ti guardo negli occhi / When I look at your eyes
E ce ne stiamo seduti al tavolo,
Tu mi fissi, ma io guardo altro.
E guardami! Esclami.
No, rispondo dentro di me.
Hai forse paura? Sorridendo dici.
No, altre erano le mie paure.
Allora ti faccio schifo!
No, ma non rispondo.
Credi che sono un animale?
Ma non ti capisco.
Il tempo passa,
Si parla, non so cosa si dice,
Sfuggentemente,
Vedo un impressione strana,
Come fosse arrabbiato,
O forse sta cercando di alzare il petto,
Come a invitarmi a guardarlo.
E lo guardo, ma non vedo niente.
Lo osservo,...
Tu mi fissi, ma io guardo altro.
E guardami! Esclami.
No, rispondo dentro di me.
Hai forse paura? Sorridendo dici.
No, altre erano le mie paure.
Allora ti faccio schifo!
No, ma non rispondo.
Credi che sono un animale?
Ma non ti capisco.
Il tempo passa,
Si parla, non so cosa si dice,
Sfuggentemente,
Vedo un impressione strana,
Come fosse arrabbiato,
O forse sta cercando di alzare il petto,
Come a invitarmi a guardarlo.
E lo guardo, ma non vedo niente.
Lo osservo,...

My Own Enemy
I am my own worst enemy.
I know my weaknesses.
I know how to tear myself down, leave myself hopeless, confused, betrayed.
It's funny how I think I'm only looking out for myself,
When I'm really looking for how to make myself fall.
I cannot hide from myself.
I'm always lurking, waiting for a sign of weakness,
Predicting the next move,
Begging to pounce.
I'm addicted to self destruction.
I fuck myself and it kills me to know that it's all my fault.
Yet I'm still breathing.
It makes no sense.
It's not logical.
It's not...
I know my weaknesses.
I know how to tear myself down, leave myself hopeless, confused, betrayed.
It's funny how I think I'm only looking out for myself,
When I'm really looking for how to make myself fall.
I cannot hide from myself.
I'm always lurking, waiting for a sign of weakness,
Predicting the next move,
Begging to pounce.
I'm addicted to self destruction.
I fuck myself and it kills me to know that it's all my fault.
Yet I'm still breathing.
It makes no sense.
It's not logical.
It's not...

LAYered
Seeping through the cracks of my
Broken dreams...
Echoes of despair resound as
I hear the words ring;
Shame, failure, disgrace.
Hope betrayed me to misery,
The light...
let go of me to the deep.
Now pain is my medicine.
Broken dreams...
Echoes of despair resound as
I hear the words ring;
Shame, failure, disgrace.
Hope betrayed me to misery,
The light...
let go of me to the deep.
Now pain is my medicine.

Platitudes
I think of you like a brother
Let’s just be friends
You deserve better
I would be poison for you
Nice guys finish last
I’m comfortable with how things are
Life is complicated right now
I just don’t see you that way
I get that I’m good
Just not bad enough
I deserve someone good
Someone that’s not you
You try to be nice
Well, usually anyway
But after 30 years of rejection
I’ve had enough. I’m away.
