Naked Cold Place
Awakening in this naked cold place
wandering somberly espresso
stained caffeine bleeding red
fading into obscurity's melancholy
haunting my wretched dreams
of fog on the shores of eternal sleep
at the bottom of the demitasse

A Lullaby for Inner Demons
sleep little demons
sleep
lay your mischief down and rest
save your anger for tomorrow
slumber little imps
slumber
people can be so unkind
the world revolving around their need
dream little devils
dream
why do we worship so much greed
save your mayhem tomorrow
doze my gremlins
doze
we can burn the world when you wake
warming our toes on society's blaze
rest little imps
rest
blowing up Wall Street sounds so sweet
and the howling of corporate greed
sleep my monsters
sleep
dream of...

Sleepless
i can't sleep...
shadows dance
upon my walls
...whispering
sleep disorder
messes me up
destroys me...
the darkness
surrounds me
...chokes me
ghosts from the
past come to life
haunting me...
counting sheep
for 10 years now
insomnia, i am done.

As If I Belong
Shadows of insomnia's embrace
stealing my mind and my dreams
a sweet half of a memory kiss
echoes whispering from cold lips
flesh upon decadent flesh
with a cold cup of death
from the dirt and blood
feeling as if I belong in this place
stealing my mind and my dreams
a sweet half of a memory kiss
echoes whispering from cold lips
flesh upon decadent flesh
with a cold cup of death
from the dirt and blood
feeling as if I belong in this place

Deep Dark Vertigo
Come a little closer non sequitur, let me touch your
mind's shadow on the horizon of the deep dark vertigo
ambiguity collaborating with Twilight's narrator
with remote on Zero Waning Thirsty with a few minor
adjustments to my insomnia by listening to the
raptures call, The Morning After, non-sequitur
analysis on the horizon of the deep dark vertigo.

go back to sleep...
when the nightmares fade
and the fog of time settles in
like an old patchwork quilt
scraps of the past stitched together
in some haphazard kinda manner
blanketing history with a groggy me
muffling the internal screams
until I'm finally able to sleep
unsettled...twitchy...a little uneasy...
but desperate for a respite
a moment's unblemished peace
I lay tensed in a compact ball
occupying the least required space
waiting for sandman's call
listening to the erratic thud of my heart
and the unnaturally loud sound of my...

The Man Behind the Chaos
A hint of fire beneath the eyes
Joyous laughter amidst the fray
Reveling in the day when order dies
Indulging in the social decay
The insoluble figure stands amidst the rubble
When brother betrays brother
The adjudicater breathes their last breath
Losing the love of a mother
An age when death begets death
He draws closer, though far from defined
Screams echoe in desolate streets
Listen, and hear the dragging of chains
The stranger delights in these treats
He controls the chaos, holding war's reigns
...

No Limbo
I wish it didn't hurt this way
Wishing for it to not matter
Just feels as if I'm drowning
I come up for air at times
And it hurts worse to breathe
There's no limbo for this pain
No place to find to simply rest
Wishing for it to not matter
Just feels as if I'm drowning
I come up for air at times
And it hurts worse to breathe
There's no limbo for this pain
No place to find to simply rest

Spider Thoughts
Head full of spiders
Waiting for each floating thought
To get caught
Wrapping them in cobwebs of you
Silken sullen headache
Need an exterminator

Wrapping them in cobwebs of you
Silken sullen headache

Coffee House
lean back
cold black leather
soft and repellent
vaporous film in the red autumn leaves
will haunt
thickening clouds
wanton thought
I see your apparition and stare
down into my espresso
smokey quartz dangles
from a silver chain
your ability to scare
is present
in the eyes of posters
printed phantoms
antique ghosts
nothing burns
in the dark fireplace
cracked
coffee cups churn
the wide-eyed night
for a moment
if life could be siphoned...

Insomnia, sleep
Oh how my mind loves to weep
Sleep, mine does not keep
Oh how my mind loves to weep

Insomnia
She walked in the pitch black of the night as when she laid down her mind would start to drive her to the edge of her 4ft 6 bed . She is 5ft 8 so she thought no more of this shenanigans and pulled on her warm coat and bobble hat over her pjs and shoved her fur lined boots on to stomp in the streets to tire her brain . Wide awake, walking with a rhythm of a quick march, pounding feet wrestling with her mind . She thought if she picked up the pace her mind may fall behind to second and maybe third place and she could finally climb back into bed . The winner and instead of celebrating with a...
