blank
inscrutable silence
deafens
imagined slights
and invisible papercuts
firing test shots across the bow
She sits frozen, waiting.
The latchkey kid
with a sandwich
and a voice on cassette
It was supposed to make her feel
cherished
….

"imaginary friend"
i imagine i wouldn't have to think so much, if you weren't so imaginary; you at your best help give color to the grey-and flavor to one's mind; each day is a journey through the tunnel with barely seeing light
i still imagine your embrace-while wanting to cuddle through the night; who wouldn't want that sort of thing minus the cost of a hefty price....
i imagine i wouldn't have to stress so much, if you weren't so imaginary.... imagining what you actually look like.... no longer imaginary-finally...

At the end of my rope (03-10-2022)
Again the pressure is building up inside my head. When am I going to snap? When will I reach my limit? I can’t hold this inside for much longer. My mind is racing, crashing against the walls I have built myself. Walls raised for protection, raised to appear normal, raised so I can function, strengthened by the knowledge of past borders I protected. Stretching the periods between outbursts. But knowing that it has been quite a while that it happened. The voices are driving me crazy. Getting louder each day and night. Unable to sleep properly, unable to think clear. Insomnia is driving me nuts....

Sorry, I have to leave you
I can't stay on this path
I have to change the road
Life goes on
Some things have to change
Nothing is completely black or white
If you want to take the good
You have to take the bad too
It hurts me so much
But I have to leave you
I can't tell you this because you wouldn't understand
Please believe me I still love you
I have to hope you won't believe I've abandoned you
Cause I never could
Cause I still love you
I hope you can cope
I hope your life can go on
Without too much rain ...
I have to change the road
Life goes on
Some things have to change
Nothing is completely black or white
If you want to take the good
You have to take the bad too
It hurts me so much
But I have to leave you
I can't tell you this because you wouldn't understand
Please believe me I still love you
I have to hope you won't believe I've abandoned you
Cause I never could
Cause I still love you
I hope you can cope
I hope your life can go on
Without too much rain ...

Laying achingly cold on my bed with the box fan pointed right on me.
Set on high, it provides the most sense of privacy I’ve ever felt, even from behind a locked door. No one can hear me inside this whirlwind pocket of air.
Maybe one day, I will brave it all to finally get warm, if only for a moment.

Masks
The lying mirror
whispers,
you are brave,
and noble,
wearing the the face we wish to see,
hiding our loneliness,
dying inside
in the masks so carefully chosen
"Does this mask go with these high heels"
Pretend intimacy
and deep communion,
our masks never slipping,
never allowing anyone inside
as false faces...

Connected Atmosphere
I’m not who I want to be
There’s too much smoke
For me to see
But hearing you breathe
Helps me fall asleep
You’re all I need
I’m tired of my mind
I don’t want you
I want to see the world
Through your eyes
I want to know why your heart aches
How’d you get all those blood stains
Tell me about all your mistakes
That you shouldn’t have made
I want to know everything
I promise I won’t run away
Dreaming in the dark
I want to know what’s like
To live in your heart ...
There’s too much smoke
For me to see
But hearing you breathe
Helps me fall asleep
You’re all I need
I’m tired of my mind
I don’t want you
I want to see the world
Through your eyes
I want to know why your heart aches
How’d you get all those blood stains
Tell me about all your mistakes
That you shouldn’t have made
I want to know everything
I promise I won’t run away
Dreaming in the dark
I want to know what’s like
To live in your heart ...

Evening Landscape of the Soul
I could never dream of hell
as pure as this uncertainty.
The coffers of the soul
are holding dust and little else.
Hell in this cloud of mind is then
the grey and pregnant skies,
above the cranes and scaffolding
that I can see from work’s window.
A sense of rotting, time stretched out,
an emptiness where life should be...
The crypt is yawning, tiredness
the weeds that choke the ancient lea.
Divorced of human hope,
the tower holds just years, and rope.
as pure as this uncertainty.
The coffers of the soul
are holding dust and little else.
Hell in this cloud of mind is then
the grey and pregnant skies,
above the cranes and scaffolding
that I can see from work’s window.
A sense of rotting, time stretched out,
an emptiness where life should be...
The crypt is yawning, tiredness
the weeds that choke the ancient lea.
Divorced of human hope,
the tower holds just years, and rope.

Sewer its home.

Killed myself a thousand times
I’ve killed myself a thousand times
with callous words or silly rhymes,
thoughts that hide and go unspoken
leaves a lonely man heart broken.
I rise each day and hone my skills
but time is all that’s left to kill,
no more wars or battles fought,
memories are all I’ve got.
So I sit and write each day
in hopes that sadness slips away.
Will someone stop and chat awhile,
or walk my shoes a country mile.
Understand that I’m alright,
I work each day and rest at night,
A life played on the metronome,
rhythmic...

Placid Strangers
He’s sleeping on a bench
Waiting for the end
Blocking out the distant noises
He ran out of choices
Now he’s getting lost in their voices
Giving into the poison
He’s wasting his life
Sitting in the morning light
He doesn’t care
But I think he’s a lie
Lost all his dreams
He’s the scenery that breathes
Trying to get back to who be used to be
He blends in with the trees
People come and people leave
No one knows anything
He doesn’t have anywhere to go
Left his paper home ...
Waiting for the end
Blocking out the distant noises
He ran out of choices
Now he’s getting lost in their voices
Giving into the poison
He’s wasting his life
Sitting in the morning light
He doesn’t care
But I think he’s a lie
Lost all his dreams
He’s the scenery that breathes
Trying to get back to who be used to be
He blends in with the trees
People come and people leave
No one knows anything
He doesn’t have anywhere to go
Left his paper home ...

Tangential travels; love's desolation
If I met you
on this journey
All aboard this train of thought
intertwining time
betwixt barren remoteness
explorers scouting out need
whistling discovery of remote landscapes
Across desolate plains
windswept valleys;
where jackals wander
and vultures glide their
searching glides
We'd travel through
sleeping towns
where at the dead end of the day
dust swirls
curling apricot twirls
Sparks sending scatter
from greased tracks
as...
