A Bout of Madness
O Aphrodite, you callus and cruel god, I know now the madness of you,
I saw her face and thought her a radiant dawn,
I gave her my words, so simple and basic, nothing to me or her,
And she cared, to my jest she joked,
And something stirred,
Some arrow of madness.
I moved with haste, I made motion to meet her,
Manifest was my heart to bear, for her,
And the sting of scorn, for the hare is not to emulate,
What hubris of me, I know only her image,
Her voice a song yet for me to her, her person not mine to covet,
I knew this, I am no...

The Thing. That Voice. This Darkness
Hallowed Hells
Midnight bell chimes
Whispers on the wind
Something came in
Click. Clack
Steps on stone
Measured, patient
Drawing near
Scratch. Scratch
Nails on wood
A slow, deliberate greeting
Creak. Groan
Shadows swell
Heavy with breath unseen
Hush. Hush
A voice, dry as withered leaves
Calling a name I’ve never spoken
Drip. Drip
From nowhere, from everywhere
The scent of earth, of rot, of time undone
Thud. Thud
A weight against the door, ...

Will You Be My Person
Are you my person?
When I need you in the dark
When the nightmare won't leave me alone
Even in the day
When I need to be held
Feeling the security that life doesn't give me
Make me feel like everything is OK
Will you be my person?
When I need you in the dark
When the nightmare won't leave me alone
Even in the day
When I need to be held
Feeling the security that life doesn't give me
Make me feel like everything is OK
Will you be my person?

March of Ides are Afraid
March of Ides are Afraid”
Something billowing haunts March
Torturing the essence of the heart
Unknown the smithereens it brings
Lies upon Hades’ heathens wings
Shallow are ones smothered in regret
Dancing jagged thorns never to forget
Numbness flows within hollow veins
Will infinity forthcoming be in flames?
Way of the warriors extend your blade
Take out evil-doers consumed with hate
Crawling the skin just chillin like a villain
Eden's fruit beget sin, wikked was forgiven
Enraged...

Skeletons out of the closet!
From a very young age
I've always loved skeletons
and I kept all those I found
along the path of this life...
I have no idea why but apparently
they all want to come out of the closet
so suddenly... unexpectedly.
In the next minute, probably!

I am working my way back to you Father
I am working my way back to you Father
I am very sorry for all my bad behavior
But I was frustrated
With the poems I was writing for you
Because I was stuck
Writing poems for you
I started writing some poems for you
But I couldn't get right
So I had to erased it and started again
A few times
Because I wasn't satisfied with
The way it was coming out
Maybe I need to put my brain to rest
And start to vent a little
All day today
I am very sorry for all my bad behavior
But I was frustrated
With the poems I was writing for you
Because I was stuck
Writing poems for you
I started writing some poems for you
But I couldn't get right
So I had to erased it and started again
A few times
Because I wasn't satisfied with
The way it was coming out
Maybe I need to put my brain to rest
And start to vent a little

Her Picture
HER PICTURE
“Here it is Lyle,” Gary said handing him the picture. Lyle reached up from the hospital bed and
winced. The pain was excruciating.
“Who is she?” Gary asked. “I know I've seen her somewhere.”
“She's special,” Lyle said, looking into her crystal blue eyes smiling a little.
“Do you know her?” Gary asked.
“Yeah. Yeah I do,” Lyle said. “In a different sort of way maybe we all do.”
Gary grunted. “How you feeling buddy?”
“Okay,” Lyle said looking at his friend. “Just a little weak. It's...

mercy.
swore to myself
I won't fall for your pleadings
will ignore you when you cry for help
leave you there all alone
just how you did to me
but one glance at you
and my heart yearns to help you
even if it means
breaking myself again allover
you knew it,didn't you?
I cant leave you suffering
to fix pieces of me
so here i am again
going in circles
you hurt me
I fix you
My brain begs for mercy
my heart wishes for your well being
you knew it,didn't you?
I cant leave you suffering
to fix pieces...

Only myself
Only myself
Living in one bedroom
Apartment
Here in Toronto
That is all I need
Now the phone is ringing
Non stop
I will not bother to answer
Because it is late already
I have no Idea
Who is the craziest person
That is calling me
At this late hour
I am still praying for my Father
At the late hours of the
Night
Now is time to take my
Medication
I can't take my medication
On an empty stomach
I need to take with food
Now I am having some
Popcorn
That was microwaved
Yes I am...

Hope's fires
The fires burn on the Santa Ana
It was inevitable in the night
Like a stranger in a bandanna
Bringing nature to the fight
There is no justice in the wind
Broken glass and bloody peril
Plans can break and will can bend
Chaos singing out natures carol
Uncertainty brightly riding the wind
Can you feel the future coming down
It was inevitable in the night
Like a stranger in a bandanna
Bringing nature to the fight
There is no justice in the wind
Broken glass and bloody peril
Plans can break and will can bend
Chaos singing out natures carol
Uncertainty brightly riding the wind
Can you feel the future coming down

Stay out of the darkness
As the days turned into night a shifting is taking place in the world in our lives as well, for sure it's getting to the point that it's becoming more darker by the minutes as time. Slowly passes by the like day into night, through this realm of what is happening to our very deepness of what is life. Now let's just a minute to analyze, what I'm saying as you read between the lines, through my unspoken words. ✍️ FOR when we are facing a situation, that we will have no real control over. THAT we start to feel some kind of way, feeling trapped in a place that only shows, us the...
