Last drinks shouts the tender
drink em up
it's time to be out
I need to get home
so sip the last of your beer
slam down the last shots
head toward the outside
the chill of the night
fought off by the incoherence of
alcohols numb
the wisps of the smoke machine swirls
and clings like sad fog
to the crusted carpets
where booze and blood
bile and tears have stained my memories
with exquisite times and the haunted agony
of a thousand-thousand poets ...

Destination Unknown
I am losing patience
with this giant ball
of tangled twine,
trying to find threads of purpose…
Haven’t I done enough?
I’ve been courageous:
discarded a few bits that didn’t fit,
accepted many losses I didn’t choose.
I’ve worked loose some of the knots,
hoping for clarity,
only to find others still binding me.
Now my fingers are worn
and my courage
exhausted.
What is the point of me?
What do I even want?
I have nothing to offer
but openness.
Tug and take the...

Hell
Is this what hell is all about?
Darkness flashing all around.
Lost in a world of my own.
Walking in a crowd all alone.
Why did they all have to leave?
What have I done? tell me please.
I must have deserved this strife.
For all the sins of my life.
Is this all the love I'll ever get?
Everyone gone, all I've ever met.
Hell is but a stroll in the park,
compared to this life in the dark.
Is this what hell is all about?
This must be my fault, no doubt.
Cursed to stay in this land,
with no one to hold my...

True Justice (Stony Island)
The young boy of ten was in the hospital bathroom having a hard time shitting
While his sister was in vaginal pain experiencing the dark side of female living,
“Both coming home from elementary school was kidnapped and raped
Left in an alley for dead as the sick bastards made their escape,
“The mayor tried to keep it on the low to prevent a riot
A call from DC stated this is an election year-keep the incident quiet,
“When the citizens found out, this was another blow to the face

F the Sun
Evil carcinogenic ball in the sky
I've a message for you: piss off and die
You promised to hide so we could have rain
yet on you blazed
bringing nothing but pain
Strut your radiant ass away and leave me alone
cool rainy days feel more like home
Your stupid solution
is to bring more pollution
well done i say
in the worst possible way
There's big trouble in the East
flooding and such
but would just one thunderstorm here
be asking too much?
In August I'm leaving
I know not where
but as long as...

tory britain
apparently you can only protest against this government very quietly and without inconveniencing anyone still thinking it’s a free country ?

Slothenly Jones
aggressively coming on from the shadows
eyes shine, soul binds
in the maddening eve I sing
a cult of beauties for you to partake in
single me out among the rest I dare you
I keen in the light
ridiculed by angels
an immortal joke
slothenly be good now girl
I don't know how
a heathen's price to pay
masochistic have you forgotten to beat me today?
blushing blue
pulsing jealousy
terror of hell
rising through the ranks
to be crowned...Queen
insolent little liar
fit to be tied ...

Please Do Not Block The Flow Of Positive Energy
Positive energy never dies
Sometimes we must put on the gloves and forget about the whys
Female Dog in mental heat keep attacking me without merit
You cannot compare a Cubic Zirconia to a diamond of ten carats
Your delicate poems of armor
Aged and hostile, weak soul of spiritual dishonor
Petty words, that has no weight here, no class
Spewed only as venomous trash
Close your blind eyes and let me take you on a journey to the powers that be
To close minded ignorance, that try to define their rendition of me or my creed
If what...

one of those days (parenting edition)
It's been one of those mornings
where my kiddo wants to throw down
over every little thing
And like every other bad day
the only cure
is silliness
We've had tickle cuddles
played the "where's your beautiful face?"
version of peek-a-boo
and made fairy bread for breakfast
because if sugar doesn't cure grumpiness
it shouldn't exist
My parental nerves are frayed
and I really shouldn't be drinking
a third cup of coffee
but in the absence of any real
mind altering substance ...

Taxes done, check
Laundry done, yeah
daily spill not done
sigh….. OH Heck!
Irish Coffee
not helping
me construct
or spill
a feel
of brilliancy!
At the very least
I got things done!
Lesser important
this month
yet no less
basic
basically
needed
needing
to exist
spilling on
onto
& into
future days
and
or
nights.
