Cardiac Arrest
I was sad one day as I usually am
Writing a piece about a boy who eats a whole ham
I heard a sound with a bass like a boom bam bam
Dr. Dre type beat without a song
I listened with the intent to sing along
The words never came because this was not a song
It was my heart beating in my chest like King Kong
Alone in the dark by the river where I usually rest
It feels like someone’s sitting on my chest
In a hurry, I try to reach home
I did
But again I am alone
I try to reach a friend
I had one
That’s a...

On The Healing Road
The ghost rider rode the longest loneliest road
While leaving melancholic shadows behind
Carrying an immense heavy burden and load
One of loss and heartbreak to bear in mind
Suns set in the west and rose in the east
But the relentless ghost rider kept riding on
Alone with his grieving thoughts finding peace
As the tormented soul writer kept writing on
He was revitalized by timeless landscapes
By what the universe had created all around
New perspectives then began to take shape
As the ghost rider rode from town to town
...
While leaving melancholic shadows behind

He was revitalized by timeless landscapes

Lost Horizons
What's left to say of what remains
As I sit here on the other side of my heart ignored
And you keep the peace of the crypt
I wear the bloodstains of another's war
Breaking from the quotes of another's script
I won't play this role anymore
When love undone proves this love is counterfeit
And who am I to call you out
When we're one in the same kind of hypocrite
Back and forth and in between
I think of what was and I tell myself that I'm over it
Till I'm provoked again and reminded
Beaten up by these thoughts, I take a hit ...
As I sit here on the other side of my heart ignored
And you keep the peace of the crypt
I wear the bloodstains of another's war
Breaking from the quotes of another's script
I won't play this role anymore
When love undone proves this love is counterfeit
And who am I to call you out
When we're one in the same kind of hypocrite
Back and forth and in between
I think of what was and I tell myself that I'm over it
Till I'm provoked again and reminded
Beaten up by these thoughts, I take a hit ...

Willow Weep
while sitting
on the riverbank
teaching
weeping willow
how to cry
she
taught me
how to
bend with the breeze

DO NOT BE GENTLE IN THE PASSION RACE
Do not be gentle in the Passion race
Where all the demons wear the angel's vest
For the end is always an evil mess
Hath thou ever been in an evil chase,
As thou walked away from the devil's nest?
Do not be gentle in the Passion race
Should her tongue be just like gelatinase
May you not get lost in her cunning jest
For the end is always an evil mess
Like father of lies, her lie is a mace
Who's sole aim is to destroy all your rest
Do not be gentle in the Passion race
If there exist a chance to take a race ...
Where all the demons wear the angel's vest
For the end is always an evil mess
Hath thou ever been in an evil chase,
As thou walked away from the devil's nest?
Do not be gentle in the Passion race
Should her tongue be just like gelatinase
May you not get lost in her cunning jest
For the end is always an evil mess
Like father of lies, her lie is a mace
Who's sole aim is to destroy all your rest
Do not be gentle in the Passion race
If there exist a chance to take a race ...

Pain
Fire through the night, I saw a candlelight lit by might, of the good old safe hold
kept occasion,
by the sense of feeling mend with the oblation.
The night came fiery through the storm
with hearts covered to fear the norm,
what road the dust the night it pushed the floor,
of random drum sets drumming
like there was no shore, in cast the mellow sound
came in to found,
and could not see the hole in the ground
was Armageddon come found so soon, or
was it but a random shooting that went wrong,
and made a big Oh Ba boom.

When Sweet Is Bitter
Is this the moment I feel most alive?
Breathing in the memory of you
I’ve got you on my mind again
But the thoughts won’t hold me like you do
Left with a crave that I can’t fulfill
And just when I thought that I could deal
Another day I wake up in a nightmare unreal
Heartache underlying is all that I can feel
Serenades of tragedy
Relating on the terms of grief
Seeking for this never-ending closure
My prayers reach across the void to seek relief
Sometimes pain, it seems, is the only connection left
When bitter...
Breathing in the memory of you
I’ve got you on my mind again

And just when I thought that I could deal

Heartache underlying is all that I can feel
Serenades of tragedy
Relating on the terms of grief
Seeking for this never-ending closure
My prayers reach across the void to seek relief
Sometimes pain, it seems, is the only connection left

pain (she fully love me )
most times when we think of pain
its those that come from
cuts burns scrapes and brakes
most times these are temporary
other pain is not so evident
there's no know medication
the pain love can bring
the sting of loving someone
the lack of return their from
with a double down shot to the heart
they say I love you, not as deep as you do
there is no trauma involved
just a guarded heart from the start
like a sculpture I have chipped away
her heart to fully open opened
after 38 years of marriage
she...

Untitled.
Hearts in formaldehyde—
Growing fonder by decay.
If I killed myself, I would be going home
Just like when I’m holding you.
All around me, petals turn,
And the dead birds sing
In a cloudless storm
That speaks without a sky.
All I know and all I see
Is the way our hearts should be.
Perhaps it is the ache my soul adores,
Side-by-side on separate shores;
Of all the drowned
I thought I could be the sweetest.
But what slipped through my fingertips
Was the hope I held.
All I know and all I see ...
Growing fonder by decay.
If I killed myself, I would be going home
Just like when I’m holding you.
All around me, petals turn,
And the dead birds sing
In a cloudless storm
That speaks without a sky.
All I know and all I see
Is the way our hearts should be.
Perhaps it is the ache my soul adores,
Side-by-side on separate shores;
Of all the drowned
I thought I could be the sweetest.
But what slipped through my fingertips
Was the hope I held.
All I know and all I see ...

To Purge
Shock rushes through your very bones
To rise and fall like waves of a restless sea
Plunging your heart deep into the cavity of an abyss
Where all those go – that are amiss
You succumb to feeling numb
The present now out of place
No trace
No hint
Not a single glint
From what once felt so real
A tangible being
To touch
To smell
To hear
…. Now you feel
As they persist to exist in your mind
You accept in vain
This insane reality that breeds fears
At last -
You...
To rise and fall like waves of a restless sea
Plunging your heart deep into the cavity of an abyss
Where all those go – that are amiss
You succumb to feeling numb
The present now out of place
No trace
No hint
Not a single glint
From what once felt so real
A tangible being

To smell
To hear
…. Now you feel
As they persist to exist in your mind
You accept in vain
This insane reality that breeds fears

thoughts & prayers
read me a fortune
ley me a line
tie me a knot
in your handkerchief
cast me a circle
call my name to the sky
light me a candle
i may be gone away soon
for a while
ley me a line
tie me a knot
in your handkerchief
cast me a circle
call my name to the sky
light me a candle
i may be gone away soon

Womb of the dying
Sometimes
death
comes
an
unfathomed
calendar
Leap year lands
in the lap of time
rear
view
mirrored
structure
basis of belief
cultivating
self
limitations
anxious to design
greatest of crushes
each day shifts
recordings
exist
of
laughter
wild timid wind
returning
in my body
I have kisses on my cheeks
from blackest bruises
of ashen mouths
your bones
will not
break
me ...
