Day by Day
Emotional memories
flood my existence
like a structurally
damaged dam
Forcing me to face
the man that I am
Or at least what’s become
of this shallow and broken
vessel version of a man
Whose reflected image
was nothing but so much of an
enclosed sham
Rebooting and resetting
as if I were an infected program
When did it all go wrong?
When did I go wrong?
Early mornings encircle
my miserable conundrum
like maddening hunger enraged
vultures on the prowl
...

A Moment Please ...
Finding the way past that lump in your throat
Can feel like the hardest thing you ever did
Finding the way past your own boundaries
Can scare you into paralyzing stillness
The world stops
The stars stop shining
The air gets too thick
Your absentmindedly smiling
Caught in that moment
Before reaction
Suspended inaction
Before it ever happened
Sitting comfortably there
With your cup of coffee
And Nicotine
Glancing through your memories
Breathe deeply
Take that moment,...
Can feel like the hardest thing you ever did
Finding the way past your own boundaries
Can scare you into paralyzing stillness
The world stops
The stars stop shining
The air gets too thick
Your absentmindedly smiling
Caught in that moment
Before reaction
Suspended inaction
Before it ever happened
Sitting comfortably there
With your cup of coffee
And Nicotine
Glancing through your memories
Breathe deeply
Take that moment,...

We Survived Their Attack Part 2
(Yesterday’s News). Page 3
I cower in her sands
Burying my head in her hands
I’m transported back home
Harkening to little footsteps roam
My wife is out with her friends
In search of her afterparty cleanse
The night is still young
I taste its intentions on my tongue
Time for my daughter’s dreams to ascend
Playing back my naughty thoughts as they suspend
I don on my maid
Purifying our quarters for a romantic cascade
The feng shui must compliment the mood
Candles and rose petals elevate my servitude
She...

Post Apocayptic Echoes Of A Still Beating Heart ... Still
Posting bits of the past
Exposed like raw nerves
For you to ignore
Those echoes of great happiness
Exposing deep secrets
Breathing life into old wounds
Ripping scars to bleed more
Applying the salve to move
Paralyzed in the spotlight
Naked before the masses
Vilified before your peers
Your pain barely contrasted
A thread of light
A breathe of life
A distant noise
A morning grows bright
Repeat
Repeat
Repeat ....
'The Number you have reached is no longer...
Exposed like raw nerves
For you to ignore
Those echoes of great happiness
Exposing deep secrets
Breathing life into old wounds
Ripping scars to bleed more
Applying the salve to move
Paralyzed in the spotlight
Naked before the masses
Vilified before your peers
Your pain barely contrasted
A thread of light
A breathe of life
A distant noise
A morning grows bright
Repeat
Repeat
Repeat ....
'The Number you have reached is no longer...

Head Space
There was a time
I believed your tongue
Silvered words chime
In my head they hung
Hot-air balloons
Swelled my ego’s delight
Outside buffoons
I ignored on site
I believed everything you were
Ingested every lie you’d slur
I questioned myself when the truth was right there
Because ignorance was grand when I lived in fear
I saw no reason
To abandon your love
Blind to your treason
It fit like a glove
Blind to your deceit
I cared not to look
I marched to your beat
A controlled opened book ...
I believed your tongue
Silvered words chime
In my head they hung
Hot-air balloons
Swelled my ego’s delight

Ingested every lie you’d slur
I questioned myself when the truth was right there
Because ignorance was grand when I lived in fear
I saw no reason
To abandon your love
Blind to your treason

Blind to your deceit
I cared not to look
I marched to your beat

Retrospective Regret In A Sea Of Love Empty Still
Is it me or you I see when I look in the mirror?
I can't tell anymore
Is it me or you speaking when I talk?
I can't tell anymore
When I cook that dish you like so much is it for me or you?
I can't tell anymore
When I save that last piece of cake is it for me or you?
I can't tell anymore
Damn, I can't tell anymore
Is it for me or for you or for what was once us?
Is it the echo of you that haunts my mind missing that bus?
Infecting my soul until I'm completely blind
Never to you just to me once upon a...

Solitary
When the echo stops
Because you're all alone
When the other shoe falls
And there's no one home ...

Intro to Crazy
She saw injustice, double-standard rules, unfair favoritism, and was treated like an outcast, though she physically lived among them. Day by day, she looked for ways to spread her wings and fly away. The more she tried, the more they clipped her wings with negativism and implementing guilt and fear in pursuit of discouraging her wish to fly and create her own world.
Sadness turned to anger, but she kept silent and bore the beatings until she could no longer contain all the build-up inside her. Anger had turned to rage. They thought she was crazy to begin with, but they had seen...

Where's My Baby?
Part 2
The earth devoured her crimson wine
Fossilizing her spirit in a perfect brine
They wrap her baby in the goat’s remains
Scrutinizing its body for its mother’s reigns
They cut the umbilical cord and save the placenta
Jarring the afterbirth for a special agenda
They adopt a couple to protect their prize
Fully aware of the residual from her demise
They baptize the child in a nearby lake
Preparing the village for its mother’s wake
The child never cried not even once
Haunted by a blood moon for unknown months
She...

Dead To Me
The stench of your composure
Sealed your coffin of closure
The tea party is over
Every bone has reaped exposure
That gurgle you speak
Which you think is interpreted to me as speech
Dive to their deaths off your beak
Drowned in your bullshit creek
Every advance you make is cold
A candle snuffed out but never old
Always ventured-never sold
Guilty ridden-predatorily sowed
Sealed your coffin of closure
The tea party is over
Every bone has reaped exposure
That gurgle you speak
Which you think is interpreted to me as speech
Dive to their deaths off your beak
Drowned in your bullshit creek
Every advance you make is cold
A candle snuffed out but never old
Always ventured-never sold
Guilty ridden-predatorily sowed

I Exist
I write this four-page letter
In response to your ignorance, I endure
Despite your cruel and harsh endeavor
My intentions for you are still pure
I cannot deny these feelings exist
They pull and twist my heart like clay
My hatred folds, like flour it sifts
I pluck my pain at the end of the day
Your vanity dismisses my earthly looks
Your swords bite down like poisonous snakes
So dense, so shallow, misplaced in fairy books
So selfish, So Hot!!, characterized in sour grapes
You ignore my presence when I enter your circle
Like some...

We Survived Their Attack
(All is lost). Page 1
I python a deathly grip
Dramatically ensuring they don’t slip
The frame cracks from my pressure
Almost severing my treasure
Four years of married life
A beautiful daughter and a loving wife
Her fourth birthday was just around the corner
The echoes of her laughter in my heart are now stronger
Her thirty-fifth birthday came in fast to quickly vanish
Her sole desire in life was to learn Spanish
Glass pulverizes under my feet
