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!

blind spot
it never comes with a warning
that fistcrushinglungs
skip of a...beat...choking feeling
suddenly startled
ghosts brushing spectral fingers across overly sensitive skin
raising pained bumps that never seem to rub out
unaware of danger's approach...
until it has you by the throat
...did you know...?
if surface is all you're seeing...
betrayal can be found in the conscious
allowing you to naively believe you have any semblance of control
simply because you will it so
while behind the scenes...where...

Real
A touch you can't see.
A feeling no one would believe.
An image that deceives.
A world of savages and kings.
Flies that keep spawning.
The lights flicker; haunting.
A child that remembers things,
That they have never seen.
A drone in the sky.
Twinkling; red and bright.
A God that watches day and night.
A mother bracing for the fight.
I swim in the ocean of the sky.
The sharks circling by.
Ignoring the joke of life.
To protect robots from the fight.
A child that might be real.
That God...
A feeling no one would believe.
An image that deceives.
A world of savages and kings.
Flies that keep spawning.
The lights flicker; haunting.
A child that remembers things,
That they have never seen.
A drone in the sky.
Twinkling; red and bright.
A God that watches day and night.
A mother bracing for the fight.
I swim in the ocean of the sky.
The sharks circling by.
Ignoring the joke of life.
To protect robots from the fight.
A child that might be real.
That God...

Fear of Success
I had thought about returning to college for several years
But the fear of success had kept me in the dark for a while
“It’s too difficult, I’m too old, I don’t have the money or time”
All the excuses I had in my mind filled my heart with anxiety
But for far too long I was feeling I had hit a glass ceiling
The lack of a degree kept my career stalled or at a stand still
Until one day I decided to go back to the old campus
Seeing the buildings and students gave me an old thrill
So that day, standing there on the university campus
I...

One with the fog and night...
When night fell on the city,
When the light of lanterns spilled over the streets,
When it was pulling away from the house,
A dense fog fell to the ground.
He, slowly moving along the houses,
Sliding along the sidewalks and roads,
He lay down like a carpet on the expanse of night courtyards,
And that night he reminded me of many things.
Slowly stalked by my fears
And eerie shadows cast in the dark,
Was filled with a mystery for me
Alluring, sweet, timid...
I, sitting by the window, tried to
unravel the Foggy...
When the light of lanterns spilled over the streets,
When it was pulling away from the house,
A dense fog fell to the ground.
He, slowly moving along the houses,
Sliding along the sidewalks and roads,
He lay down like a carpet on the expanse of night courtyards,
And that night he reminded me of many things.
Slowly stalked by my fears
And eerie shadows cast in the dark,
Was filled with a mystery for me
Alluring, sweet, timid...
I, sitting by the window, tried to
unravel the Foggy...

Life Is A Struggle
People Today! Oh boy!
There's something happening here...
It's all of us. What is your kink, perversion, addiction or mental illness? Do you cope with alcohol? Drugs? Sex? Are you addicted to food? Do you gamble? Are you afraid? I can go on! You may know what makes you tick or you might spend your entire life trying to figure it out!
A 17 year old shoots up a school!
The model-type young woman with flawless skin has sex on camera with over a 100 guys online on her onlyfans account.
The married female school...

Narcissistic Faberge
Between the sacred and profane
recitals of blurred lines and relics
in narcissistic Faberge and debris
exhuming the body of St. Leon
in a carnal revenge
that still bleeds from his tongue
fading into obscurity
ridding himself of the corpse
hearing the voice of St. Leon
between the sacred and profane
in narcissistic Faberge and debris
recitals of blurred lines and relics
in narcissistic Faberge and debris
exhuming the body of St. Leon
in a carnal revenge
that still bleeds from his tongue
fading into obscurity
ridding himself of the corpse
hearing the voice of St. Leon
between the sacred and profane
in narcissistic Faberge and debris

Cruel World
We were thrown together
Working a temp job we were both overqualified for.
He, a recent college grad soon to begin a master's
And me, who had gotten my bachelor's
somewhere around the time his parents were in kindergarten.
We talked about everything
Movies
Music
Politics
What the future of the world might hold
What America would be like in fifty years
Even ten.
It turned depressing from there.
Cruel World, young guy said, shaking his head
How long have you known that? I ask
