The Black Pond
Trapped from the start
She tried to reach for the stars
When she was held behind the bars
Hoping to see a glimpse of the sparks
With a flick of her wand
She stumbled across the pond
Wondering what was lurking
Underneath the motionless surface
She was so intrigued as it spoke
And made shapes in different sizes
After revealing its secrets
It sunk back into the darkness
The pond gently lured her in
To see the great mysteries
Beyond her imagination
Along with the greatest transformations
She tried to reach for the stars
When she was held behind the bars
Hoping to see a glimpse of the sparks
With a flick of her wand
She stumbled across the pond
Wondering what was lurking
Underneath the motionless surface
She was so intrigued as it spoke
And made shapes in different sizes
After revealing its secrets
It sunk back into the darkness
The pond gently lured her in
To see the great mysteries
Beyond her imagination
Along with the greatest transformations

Adrenaline
it started in 2013
seven weeks of
horrible stress
painful losses
no deep sleep
a broken doll
functioning on
just adrenaline
trying to survive
feeling helpless
utterly restless
she didn't fade
this razor blade
got more powers
as years went by
she causes me to
wake up at night
i'm tired & wired
need some sleep
i'm done with this
exhausting tornado
fucking adrenal fatigue
seven weeks of
horrible stress
painful losses
no deep sleep
a broken doll
functioning on
just adrenaline
trying to survive
feeling helpless
utterly restless

she causes me to
wake up at night
i'm tired & wired
need some sleep
i'm done with this
exhausting tornado

Bonemeal
It's just a skull-shaped rock
and a pile of white sticks
keeping me tethered straight laced,
head to my feet when I
look back
in the cradle of the mosaic painting
eyes follow me when I turn down this
haunted hallway
Bats on bats,
Like at least a fucking thousand of 'em.
On my skin like flies on the apples in the kitchen.
My skin is rotting off.
Black gets darker still,
and the story stays vague.
And I learn and grow
from the same damn things
same as always.

Dreadful Dream
Immobile
You are a telegram projection, single
A singular being of warmth
cold,
all your worth
sense of existence
in a wonder of persistence
everything in one
yet nothing you are none
and not a nun
Godless
Souless
Or soulful
but just woeful
Sense of being
In the dream of seeing
Conscious tension
In momentary...

Late Nights
The rising chill of the morning,
I feel cold sunlight shining through my window.
I stumble in the still too dark hallway,
Crashing noisily into the bathroom.
I flick the light switch on,
And a sickly yellow fluorescent light fills the room.
I look in the mirror,
My eyes are dark and deep.
The worst part of late nights,
Are early mornings.
I feel cold sunlight shining through my window.
I stumble in the still too dark hallway,
Crashing noisily into the bathroom.
I flick the light switch on,
And a sickly yellow fluorescent light fills the room.
I look in the mirror,
My eyes are dark and deep.
The worst part of late nights,
Are early mornings.

How Many Naps A Day?
I cannot sleep anymore
maybe I never was able to sleep
but now I just stay awake staring at the stars
until my eyes are too heavy
and the stars are blurred by my tears
maybe I never was able to sleep
but now I just stay awake staring at the stars
until my eyes are too heavy
and the stars are blurred by my tears

Restless
Unending static
The sound of a restless mind
Shuffling in its bed
Blankets kicked to the floor
It wails and screams
Scratching deep red lines into its legs
All its wants is to sleep
To embrace a comforting darkness
Hitting its head against the wall
Begging for unconsciousness
To drown its own voice
To forget its cries
A worried little creature with absolutely nothing to worry about
Unending static
The sound of a restless child
The sound of a restless mind
Shuffling in its bed
Blankets kicked to the floor
It wails and screams
Scratching deep red lines into its legs
All its wants is to sleep
To embrace a comforting darkness
Hitting its head against the wall
Begging for unconsciousness
To drown its own voice
To forget its cries
A worried little creature with absolutely nothing to worry about
Unending static
The sound of a restless child

Insomnolent
The river we drove into
does it exist
did I dream this reality
We flow into the day
open
cloudless
sky
otherworldly blue
They watched the stars
fall from your head
and become prisms
on the ceiling
on the wall
From birth we are hypnotized
by inventions
tied tighter and tighter
to clock hands
Seconds for some
does anyone know the time
Two days without a drive
yellow lines whisper the story
You crave embrace
as we flatten the couch cushions

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

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.

Gargoyles
Restless and weary,
the long conversations with gargoyles
leave eyelids and hearts heavy.
Seeing the best and worst of us,
stoic and silent they speak volumes
into the midnight sky.
How the times must have changed
in their unflinching eyes.
Epitaphs hung round necks of stone
as the devolution of change murders the
heart of our society. I love their
resolve.
Walking through sleeping city streets
gives me a heightened sense of things.
I've spoken to many of you over the years and
squirmed under the relentless...

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
...
