My Books
I have read so many books
over my well read years
More books than everybody else
I shame you all to tears
I keep them sitting on my shelf
like trophies bright and glowing
With every new title that I add
I feel my I.Q growing
And because I’ve read so many
that proves that I'm the smartest
The most intelligent intellectual
The most insightful artist
I try to impress the women folk
by showing them my collection ...

Closest
Who could've known
Those closest to you
Can hurt you the most
Those you let into your heart
But keep theirs locked away
They didn't care
Those who promise to stay
Said you mean the world
Always there by your side
They lied
Those who gave you purpose
Taught you love
Showed you friendship
Gave you hope
They felt nothing
You gave them your trust
Let them see your soul
Showed them true emotions
They didn't understand
You opened up
Let them read your pages
Showed them your soul
They...
Those closest to you
Can hurt you the most
Those you let into your heart
But keep theirs locked away
They didn't care
Those who promise to stay
Said you mean the world
Always there by your side
They lied
Those who gave you purpose
Taught you love
Showed you friendship
Gave you hope
They felt nothing
You gave them your trust
Let them see your soul
Showed them true emotions
They didn't understand
You opened up
Let them read your pages
Showed them your soul
They...

Cold
I'm cold.
The winter's rain plays a
melancholy melody upon my
window sill.
Gazing out into the gray.
Howling winds are reminiscent of
memories blowing open the
shutters of my mind.
There are far too many.
They project themselves onto the
screen of my subconscious.
Looping reels of loss and pain.
I notice the trees.
Stripped bare by the harsh season.
Wearing only the icy reminder
that these are bitter times.
Drawing a deep breath, I
close my eyes to the storm.
As the images fall...
The winter's rain plays a
melancholy melody upon my
window sill.
Gazing out into the gray.
Howling winds are reminiscent of
memories blowing open the
shutters of my mind.
There are far too many.
They project themselves onto the
screen of my subconscious.
Looping reels of loss and pain.
I notice the trees.
Stripped bare by the harsh season.
Wearing only the icy reminder
that these are bitter times.
Drawing a deep breath, I
close my eyes to the storm.
As the images fall...

Abandoned Lanes (Part 2)
Following the lane
No where to go
Except the blood stain
From a sliced heart of stone
Town of the dead
The aroma so nauseous
It is only ahead
And now in losses
The remaining consumed
In the digestive system
And a severe wound
Left to gisten
The perching crows
Congregate in this very place
Where the meadows
Have an exaggerated face
No where to go
Except the blood stain
From a sliced heart of stone
Town of the dead
The aroma so nauseous
It is only ahead
And now in losses
The remaining consumed
In the digestive system
And a severe wound
Left to gisten
The perching crows
Congregate in this very place
Where the meadows
Have an exaggerated face

Dark but devine
Like a noose around my neck, it constricts with every breath.
And I hang here like a wreck in the hungry eyes of death.
I must have dropped my purpose, maybe it lingers where I fell.
Or is it just below the surface in my self inflicted hell?
I'm frightened for the ending, so I would never close the book.
So till then I'm sinply pending, as I'm swaying from this hook.
I hate the truth inside this ink, for it holds depth beyond belief.
And at times I even think it's my only real relief.
Why can't I be conent? Make the broken pieces fit?
There's...

Little Bird
Little bird, little bird, wherefore art thou?
Little bird, little bird, who's shadow lies glued to the floor.
Little bird, little bird, who caws in the night, and who's hunter's efforts you slough.
Little bird, little bird, of legend and of lore,
Little bird, little bird, high above my head,
Little bird, little bird, who feasts on the worm of the rotten love apple,
Little bird, little bird, who feasts upon the dead.
Little bird, little bird, at the unfortunate you cackle,
Little bird, little bird, who vanishes from sight by nary a word nor a prayer, ...
Little bird, little bird, who's shadow lies glued to the floor.

When I Needed You The Most
It feels like a life time ago
When you came to me
Letting the heart glow
Only for you to see
Your eyes stare
Where an old tree...
Stood all bare
As it is winter as you see
The time of year
When I needed you the most
To be near...
To be close...
When you came to me
Letting the heart glow
Only for you to see
Your eyes stare
Where an old tree...
Stood all bare
As it is winter as you see
The time of year
When I needed you the most
To be near...
To be close...

Doing the "right" thing
Temptation pushes me to the brink;
it often brings me to drink;
doing the "right" thing,
seems illusionary the more I think;
I am only a human;
trying to withstand,
social demands;
while before I head into that mundane land; the towel is the first thing always in my hand....
" what are your goals?"
"what are your long term plans?"
"what do you posess as a man?"
"why aren't you taking a stand?"
my time winding down;
pain I often anticipate;
I don't own...

Nibbling Conscious
Nibbling conscious, hurtful and honest,
Nibbling conscious, lonely but bonded,
Nibbling conscious, author of nonsense,
Nibbling conscious, uncontrolled never thoughtless,
Nibbling conscious, doubtful to progress,
Nibbling conscious, tenacious the synopsis,

For Sale
I'm closing soon
Going down
Everything is half off
So reach down
Inside me
Grab my heart
Take my eyes. See
how beautiful you are
Peel my skin
Put it on
Bend them
Break my bones
Listen
To my last song
Then take my lips
Off

Giving Up
Don't you hate it when you don't have control over a situation?
Where you don't know which move to make or which direction to take?
Do you ever feel like the world is against you and the only time you feel alive is if u feel pain
When you feel that tingling feeling of deep hurt that makes it all sane
She actually did feel all those things
Unwanted, unneeded and the only time she felt the opposite
She had to act like she wasn't alone
Steps movements all those seemed seem less cause no one noticed
Thanks to her king-sized bed she had a pillow to cry...
