darkness doesn't need stars or a spark to highlight itself
gently shrinks the twilight's brimming eyes
to a bokeh of starry diamonds in fluffiness
flows from the frontally stared nothings
to the unfocusingly glanced sideways
in some subtleties
how easy it is for you
to shed this love
and wear on
those fading shades
at such rudity precision and pace
that even shames a chameleon
how whorish you try make me feel
from your roughened tongue
that's dismembered
from lively arterial strings
since unremembered times
as you spell black and white...

They Come and Go
They come and go
Passers-by
They stop to refuel and then go on their way
Some stay a little longer to browse
Shop
Getting to know the locals
Then they disappear into the highway
Some stay awhile
Make friends
They begin to thrive in this strange town
Calling it a home
And then one day, just as they came in
They vanish into the night
They come and go
These travelers
Traversing the universe
Sharing stories and telling tales
And the shop keepers
With wanderlust
Wonder what’s beyond ...

Dim
The caw of a crow pierces through
the hovering clouds of time.
Within my melancholy soul,
it's a familiar loud lonely rhyme.
A mental walk through yesterday.
The sun of remembrance
dims her rays.
Past dead gardens,
where unborn gestures roam.
Haunted by abandoned
people that felt like home.
The days of boisterous blossom gone.
Just crumbling tombstones for all we longed.
the hovering clouds of time.
Within my melancholy soul,
it's a familiar loud lonely rhyme.
A mental walk through yesterday.
The sun of remembrance
dims her rays.
Past dead gardens,
where unborn gestures roam.
Haunted by abandoned
people that felt like home.
The days of boisterous blossom gone.
Just crumbling tombstones for all we longed.

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

hanging up
there was a rope
a hook
a neck
there was something floating
over the head
there was a rope attached to a hook
around the neck
there were feet
there was the white of the walls
oblivion!
a hook

Putting You Away
The last tide of the day is going out
I guess it's a good time for our goodbye
even though you left hours ago
I waited, to watch the ocean follow you.
I knew, you had that kind of power
even if you didn't
Because you were looking away.
I walk the bartering line
where the waves recede from the sand
as several grains go with it
Thousands really, but who notices
from the millions left behind
Like my thoughts of you, like the love
that follows you
Maybe it will keep you safe.
I could never wish anything
but the...

Isle Of Man
Rain pouring down, my car broke down on side the road, what the fuck
And me with no cell phone or fucking tools, this is just my luck
This is a true test bitch of how you've lived your life
As you walk through that pouring rain and motorist watch you endure this strife
Pay attention Fuckboy don't you work with him, her, and them
They're driving by and honking their horns like you don't even know them
Wasn't it earlier today at work that they were all smiling up in your face
Ha, you find yourself praying silently that the rain washes the hate from your...

Forgotten Man
He did something weird for a living.
Something to do with coin boxes in laundromats
He lived a short dirt path away from his mother,
two blocks at most.
He went there every night for dinner,
boasting that lately he had been walking there
instead of driving.
Mama don't cook nothin' without gravy on it
said the 45-year-old laundromat man.
He also told me
in our last conversation,
that he masturbated to hardcore porn before bed
Women being hurt.
He called it taking a Sominex.
By that point I was just...

Alone
Play with me like a slave.
Tell me, we're the same.
Amuse me with your games.
I'm not alone.
Train me to behave.
Ill take all your lies and praise.
Offer me hypnotic ways.
I'm not alone.
Invite me to the stage.
Ill just pace inside the cage.
Entice me with your plague.
I'm not alone.
Ill act with no pay.
I'm the light; a distant ray.
Like a mime, ill never say,
"I'm not alone"
Tell me, we're the same.
Amuse me with your games.
I'm not alone.
Train me to behave.
Ill take all your lies and praise.
Offer me hypnotic ways.
I'm not alone.
Invite me to the stage.
Ill just pace inside the cage.
Entice me with your plague.
I'm not alone.
Ill act with no pay.
I'm the light; a distant ray.

Shape Shifter
I've inhabited many rooms
for varying lengths of time.
In each I learned
a new shape that fit,
and sometimes it felt like home
(until it didn't)
and the people felt like family
(until they didn't)
and the shape felt familiar
(until it just
didn't)
And I'd go through another door
by choice or by force
and learn another shape
in another room
and it would feel like home...
And another storm would come
and another wind would blow
and suck me out another window
into another room ...
for varying lengths of time.
In each I learned
a new shape that fit,
and sometimes it felt like home

And I'd go through another door
by choice or by force
and learn another shape
in another room
and it would feel like home...
And another storm would come

and suck me out another window

Valentine's Day 2020
Love exist
For those who put
themselves out there
Some women are lonely
So show love and respect
On this Valentine's Day
So they can feel
How special they are
For those who put
themselves out there
Some women are lonely
So show love and respect
On this Valentine's Day
So they can feel
How special they are
