How many writers today...
Try being a
typewriter
looking at a blank
sheet of paper
that's already
daring you
to throw it away,
you wake each morning
already knowing
that the
piece of paper
is going to show
up in your heart.

internal
in touch, yet out of touch; attached, yet dettached.... it's as if the only thing that seems to make sense is getting wasted within one's solidarity....
and being taken for a ride.... spiraling within one's mind....
i feel like Nicolas cage from Leaving Las Vegas.... wasting away in alcohol.... in tears.... like why the hell must I be here....

Contemplation and escape...
A thin trail of coffee aroma touched her soul strings.
And the rays of the spring sun played in a light haze in the quiet of the apartment.
In the soft foam of the airy drink, she built her castles.
The smell of coffee, caressing her thoughts, carried away far from the earth.
Dreams of happiness swirled over her, making her forget about the world and herself.
A cup of coffee in itself embodied a sensitive trembling, exciting fear.
And in a pleasant woody haze, taking a sip of fragrant darkness,
She wanted to become invisible, not to feel the severity of the...

Reset
What am I doing here?
Nothing really seems to make much sense
How have I found my soul
Living in such ignorance?
Is there anything I can do?
Is there anything I can say?
Is there anything I can do?
To hit reset on
This game I'm playing
(So-called "reality"
It’s pure insanity)
What is this world I’m in?
My God, what’s happening?
What is this world I’m in?
Tell me what is happening
In this existence
Tell me, what is happening?

Souls from another world
as i lay and stare into space; there's got to be someone like me out there practically feeling the same way; someone whom with one could make a great escape from this masquerade;
upon meeting our heartbeats racing at a similar pace; sharing the ability to captavate one another despite the mountains, pits, and valleys in our way....
talking more than just the capacity to resonate; sounds like the kind of stuff one could only imaginate; wanting to disappear with ? and start a clean slate....

Excerpt from 1st Children’s Book, Unnamed. From Pt.2
Kansas City had a rich
jazz culture.
There were snazzy
venues all over the city,
displaying their open
& welcoming marquees; a magnificent
floraculture as a whole. The neon lights were striking.
But Ben knew there
where none
like the scene
in the extraordinary
18th & Vine district
where he was from.
Of an evening, he would ride
his bicycle down through
the twinkling lights
crisscrossing & strung ...

"promise land"
i fantasize about a "perfect" environment; where it's easier to socialize and get along.... where isolation would be by choice; where one is embraced with open arms....
some where within reach; where one wouldn't have to travel so far or especially over seas.... i fantasize about this frequently....where comradary/intamacy came easily-instead of like pulling teeth....
no worries; where one could settle peacefully; where one's soul feels free; that if there's "overseers" of the community-one wouldn't feel on a leash or subjective to...

Shuffling life's deck
They say we have to live with the cards we're dealt,
bullshit,
I'm going to shuffle the pack,
Bring the ace to the front,
The jokers to the back, they're wack, ain't nobody got time for that,
I'm looking forward to making new news, and leaving bad vibes behind in rearveiws, No more fights, plenty more flights, reaching for the sky, aiming for higher heights ...

bliss with a mushy twist
I'm all for some bliss with a mushy twist....
tinted lights; I'd personally like to go with a dark blue; her on top of me-i'd admire her "body work"-tattoos(wordplay); her hair smells of a fruit mix shampoo....
I'd like to get lost in you; time? what's that? we don't have a clue; drowning in the bliss like the deep blue;
tinted lights; now you choose; what's your favorite color in our escape room? I just want to stay here; and screw....screw the daylight and the nightlife-this room-there's nothing quite like.......

near perfect
prep work is the pits.
it makes me think, be near
perfect.
i don't want structure; it is
unbearably hipster;
it brings mountains to bear and
i am finished.
perhaps meeting a maker is the
salt of my crust- he is lunar, majestic
and perfect as near can be.

a lady's dilemma
A lady’s dilemma
Her mind and body are restless
she is in her late-middle-age
a difficult time for a woman.
Her long relationship with a well-off man
has made her economically safe
but she is bored
thinks there has to be some more
before she loses her looks
and disappears into elderliness.
She has grown up with children
they don´t need her as much as before.
A part of her also likes to be settled
married and have a home of her own

Embrace The End
My hand touches the iron latch
I run into my room
I hide beneath my bed
To escape the evil doom
I hear footsteps in my head
I see feet on the floor
I look over to my left to see my iron door
I panic, worry, don't know what to do
I panic, worry, throw my right shoe
Bounces aginst the window
Distracts the evil feet
I take this chance to run
A pace at my own beat
Once I've run far
I look back at my iron latch
I see Death step outside
