His hands from me
He kept his hand from me.
So, I checked to see.
What was wrong with me.
So many flaws did I see.
And so much more in me.
He never did see.
And this brings sadness to me.
He was my want, you see.
What he kept from me.
I trust he knew what I should see.
What I felt his love for me.
I love him still I never see.
Though he kept his hand from me.
His name my heart forever beats.
Though he kept his hand from me.
He was my one and only dream.

demise
Screaming in the dark, rabid breathe......
Monsters emerge from violent shadows,
Demons over head as they tease,
bleed weeps the fields of the meadows.
Silently before volcanic eruption,
causes the shhh of the disruption
Whispers well into the breeze,
as a last love becomes demise.
Monsters emerge from violent shadows,
Demons over head as they tease,
bleed weeps the fields of the meadows.
Silently before volcanic eruption,
causes the shhh of the disruption
Whispers well into the breeze,
as a last love becomes demise.

..loneliness is a sandcastle of hollowed time
catching up with the dawn of my obsession
intoxicating my soul with rhum and coffee
listening to emptiness on a radio whispering
from the gentle side for insomniacs at 6 am
wandering lonely through unfiltered tears
intoxicating my soul with rhum and coffee
catching up with the dawn of my obsession
intoxicating my soul with rhum and coffee
listening to emptiness on a radio whispering
from the gentle side for insomniacs at 6 am
wandering lonely through unfiltered tears
intoxicating my soul with rhum and coffee

question loneliness
i have
begun to
question
loneliness,
rearrange
my thoughts,
whether
light day
or dark
of night,
i come
up with
the same
problems,
because
there is
no one
here to
help me
understand.

... Table for One - Rebirth and Redux
I went into the restaurant
Requested a booth for one
I'll be here for awhile I said
Flipped the owner a $20
He set me up with a great table
My afternoon began with this write
Even in good company
The best days are a float
Weaving in and out of people traffic
I need dialog and can be open
Yet writing verse is my voice
Somber and reflective at twilight
Quiet and ominous at dusk
Keep the chemicals away from me
I've danced and twisted fate
Piecing myself back together again
Going it alone ...

Yet writing verse is my voice
Somber and reflective at twilight
Quiet and ominous at dusk
Keep the chemicals away from me
I've danced and twisted fate
Piecing myself back together again

A Hold on Me
something’s
gripping tight
the air
suffocates
walls lean in
like whispers
and the devil's
knuckles knock
who is it inside
I’m fading away
lost in the echo
of my own voice
gripping tight
the air
suffocates
walls lean in
like whispers
and the devil's
knuckles knock
who is it inside
I’m fading away
lost in the echo
of my own voice

Asphalt Burning
Haunted kisses of arrogance lost soul
of ecstasy's obsession fading where
once was love's open book
Now just a shadow touching my lips
as if asphalt is burning holes in my heart
and the flowers unearthed
Now withered brush
suffering the absence of the roses
with a distance of the silence
that lies in loneliness
of ecstasy's obsession fading where
once was love's open book
Now just a shadow touching my lips
as if asphalt is burning holes in my heart
and the flowers unearthed
Now withered brush
suffering the absence of the roses
with a distance of the silence
that lies in loneliness

Introverted me
Lock the door and leave me be
I'm ok on my settee
Lock the door and leave me be
When I'm alone I am free
Eyes above me all like stars
Comments that leave such painful scars
Lock the door and leave me be
I'm happy with my tv
Fake laughs and forced smiles
Pointless conversation and lack of style
Lock the door and leave me be
I prefer my own company
I'm ok on my settee
Lock the door and leave me be
When I'm alone I am free
Eyes above me all like stars
Comments that leave such painful scars
Lock the door and leave me be
I'm happy with my tv
Fake laughs and forced smiles
Pointless conversation and lack of style
Lock the door and leave me be
I prefer my own company

It's just another day sitting in the rain, wondering why life always has to change.
If I could turn these hands of time, I'd set them back to when it was just the two of us drinking crown and getting high.
But those days were years ago. Sadly now I'm here trying to piece back this broken soul.
I know it's not your fault that you passed away, but I do miss the encouraging words that you use to say.
Like keep your head up and never change.
Fuck'em all and look towards the brighter days.
I still have your words ringing in my ears, but I no longer have your...

The Rising
It's evening now. I look out
into the night sky, the moon a cup
of blackness. There are no stars
to guide me through this emptiness.
I think of how my mother died
long ago. This tiny ball of a universe,
casting us off so effortlessly, indifferently.
So small we are, so alone.
My mother loved me when I was a child
but grew to hate me.
Just like my adult daughter does now.
We used to be so close.
Sharing secrets and vodka.
But today I learned I'm just an obligation.
I squeeze my toes, feeling the strange
tingling of...

Always in a daze
Always in a daze
I live the same routine over & over again
Wear that empty gaze
The one that keeps me
Sane!
Don't crucify me
You'll see
Inside I'm fragile....I'm weak
So much more to lose
if I don't try
But I cannot change
I'll just burn the ambition inside
Stared into a void
Of emptiness and a bitter feeling
Too much time alone
Leads me into darkness, dreaming
This road will take me nowhere
Suffocates my will
Today though, I will try again to be something I am not
I live the same routine over & over again
Wear that empty gaze
The one that keeps me
Sane!
Don't crucify me
You'll see
Inside I'm fragile....I'm weak
So much more to lose
if I don't try
But I cannot change
I'll just burn the ambition inside
Stared into a void
Of emptiness and a bitter feeling
Too much time alone
Leads me into darkness, dreaming
This road will take me nowhere
Suffocates my will
Today though, I will try again to be something I am not
