Train Tracks
Train Tracks
Timeless numb-ness only causes more pain,
The train that runs to a final end of its rails,
All the blood fully washes down a drain
in a life of some success before the fragile.
The belt that squeezes for its needle,
the searching for one last vein,
Blur-ness of tv cartoons of weasels
A leader emotionless of reign
The fluttering of final eye-lid seeing,
Disappearance of flesh bleeding,
One day, you irritated the fuck out of me
and now I miss as you disappeared.
My brother,...

Dope You Know?
Here I am no surprise, checked into rehab again
fucked around and thought the drugs were my one and only friend.
Yet they left me so empty and sicker as can be
clouded my judgement, made it impossible to see.
That this addiction wants me till I'm blue and dead
it will NEVER let me go, just like they always said.
Bag after bag I shoot, hit after hit after hit
to the point where I'm nodding like a zombie and can't stop smoking this fuckin shit.
Numbing the pain and all the feelings I hate

Reverence
I built a temple in my chest,
A sacred place for you to rest.
Your name is stitched beneath my ribs,
A whispered vow, a life to give.
I am the altar, you the flame,
Devotion bound in endless pain.
And every breath becomes your prayer,
A hollow hymn left hanging there.
You write your scripture in my veins,
A litany of sweet remains.
Each word you speak, a curse I crave,
A holy wound, a shallow grave.
I begged for light, you gave me night,
And still, I bathe in your delight.
Consume me—
Take my flesh...
A sacred place for you to rest.
Your name is stitched beneath my ribs,
A whispered vow, a life to give.
I am the altar, you the flame,
Devotion bound in endless pain.
And every breath becomes your prayer,
A hollow hymn left hanging there.
You write your scripture in my veins,
A litany of sweet remains.
Each word you speak, a curse I crave,
A holy wound, a shallow grave.
I begged for light, you gave me night,
And still, I bathe in your delight.
Consume me—
Take my flesh...

(Man In Black) Tethered to my Body by a Johnny Thread
(Man in Black)Tethered to my body by a Johnny thread
Been poppin pills
Til the sun rises
Cash is in trouble
Can’t walk the line
It’s in a cave
In Tennessee
Fighting the demons
Heroin numbs him
June comes along
He can’t resist
His secret crush
She’ll save him
Folsom prison blues
San Quentin too
But my name is Sue
How do you do
Rosanne said daddy you gotta
Go to Betty Ford
Can’t have this no more
The man in black
She said no more
...

I Still Don't Like Kerouac, Papa
When your father dies of an opioid overdose,
your stepmother will call
at 1:27pm on a gray and freezing January afternoon.
She can't articulate much of anything,
or you can't hear much of anything
or all words are caught and suffocated into a quantum vortex
because you can't remember being told
"your father is dead, and he died from an opiate overdose,"
you only remember suddenly knowing, as the truth
rises from its depression cave
stretches its long limbs,
complains about its back,
puts on thermal long johns, ...

The Seamstress
We used to make potions
her and I
The tub would swell with bubbles
Emptied the shampoo bottles
and our cauldron overflowed
Now she mixes dirt with water
in a little plastic cap
and then sews it into blood embroidery
Sallow lace, scabbing eyelets
I ask if it hurts
If I could follow pains gradient
to back before she became a seamstress
and we were two little witches
stirring pink magic in our tub
she makes one more eyelet in her hand
it is a gaping mouth that speaks in her place
It tells me that one day all I will...

Love on the point of a needle
It’s like love on the tip of a needle
I look at you you are gone you drift away
Firming up your arm look for a vein I can connect to
I connect to you you drift away from me
It’s like looking for love on a point of a needle
We dream and string out long it’s ephemeral
How come you can’t treat me like I’m love in a needle
We connect and it’s like I’m in a carnival
But after a few minutes I can’t speak
Looking for love on the point of a needle
I look at you you are gone you drift away
Firming up your arm look for a vein I can connect to
I connect to you you drift away from me
It’s like looking for love on a point of a needle
We dream and string out long it’s ephemeral
How come you can’t treat me like I’m love in a needle
We connect and it’s like I’m in a carnival
But after a few minutes I can’t speak
Looking for love on the point of a needle

Poison and Flame
There is a serpent, and there is a dragon,
They bargain for mind and heart,
With tongues and scales,
Through shedding skin and ashes,
Broken promises of euphoria.
In their witching hour,
Hypnotic, manic induction,
Feverishly driven,
A temptation and tease,
Replaces abundance.
With the moon behind the sun,
As shadows darken,
Purpose is plundered,
Through fascination,
A wondrous curiosity.
Stubborn and boneheaded,
The battle with eternal conviction,
Control and choice are...
They bargain for mind and heart,
With tongues and scales,
Through shedding skin and ashes,
Broken promises of euphoria.
In their witching hour,
Hypnotic, manic induction,
Feverishly driven,
A temptation and tease,
Replaces abundance.
With the moon behind the sun,
As shadows darken,
Purpose is plundered,
Through fascination,
A wondrous curiosity.
Stubborn and boneheaded,
The battle with eternal conviction,
Control and choice are...

Shooting for the scars
Discusted by my self
Mirrors make me cringe
Cant stand my own reflection
So I left on a binge.
Suspended in a void
breaking all the rules
Yet I just keep pushing
Disappearing from view
I’ve been foolish this far.
Deceit creeping among shadows,
bitterness and toxicity
Leading my way aimlessly through the shallows
Now completely alone.
Trapped by myself in this place I’m alone
The longer I’m here, despair finds me faster. As if from nowhere, stopping abruptly in place.
A Sitting duck,...
Mirrors make me cringe
Cant stand my own reflection
So I left on a binge.
Suspended in a void
breaking all the rules
Yet I just keep pushing
Disappearing from view
I’ve been foolish this far.
Deceit creeping among shadows,
bitterness and toxicity
Leading my way aimlessly through the shallows
Now completely alone.
Trapped by myself in this place I’m alone
The longer I’m here, despair finds me faster. As if from nowhere, stopping abruptly in place.

A Habit Forming Love Story
"Tie me off sweetheart", she said.
Sure honey sweetie baby, I love to watch you vomit
Don't get any on my shoes
Oh fuck it, I'm so in love with you
I even love your puke
You have the cutest drool I've ever seen
I think you're the coolest junkie-musician-poet-visionary I've ever shared a needle with
It would be an honor to get a disease from you
I have herpes scars from the best of them
Let's look for a new vein for you
The others are so flat
WOW, you've really been around
I love a woman with experience.
Sure honey sweetie baby, I love to watch you vomit
Don't get any on my shoes
Oh fuck it, I'm so in love with you
I even love your puke

Scourge of the elixir
The scourge of the elixir
The potion of fate
The purge of the fixer
seven seconds too late
Minute by minute
And hour by hour
The salve to be swindled
From the seeds of a flower
Chasing the dragon
from his chalice, we sip
Unsheathing the needle
In search of the trip
The guise of the wired
The skin of their thrones
Their emotions misfire
To cast vie to their bones
Farewell, my reality
Force my mind to a place
Where I’ve really got nothing
In that world there to face
...

Where does hope lie
Where does hope lie
In a broken mind
Disheveled room
Shadows absorbing light
Where does hope lie
In forgotten promises
Disappointed loved ones
Left alone at night
Where does hope lie
In unreturned calls
And unanswered knocks
Refusing to fight
Where does hope lie
In a tub of tepid water
Needle on the floor
Searching for another high
Where does hope lie
Water a pinkish hue
Cuts to guarantee
This was the last time
Where does Hope lie
Green glassy eyes ...
In a broken mind
Disheveled room
Shadows absorbing light
Where does hope lie
In forgotten promises
Disappointed loved ones
Left alone at night
Where does hope lie
In unreturned calls
And unanswered knocks
Refusing to fight
Where does hope lie
In a tub of tepid water
Needle on the floor
Searching for another high
Where does hope lie
Water a pinkish hue
Cuts to guarantee
This was the last time
Where does Hope lie
Green glassy eyes ...
