Fading Away Our Love (collab with Vision of Insanity)
I knew the end
Before it has started
A cold wind
Freezes my heart
And the pain tears us apart
Always weeping
inside my chest
I had to tell him
I couldn't string this along
Our two hearts were once one
Now only emptiness
I call home
Our time will fade
The end of all today
A blackened sun
Shines my next day
As the stars come out
I want to be with you
But the next day
Realization shows through
We were no good together
You know this to be true
Nothing harder ...
Before it has started
A cold wind
Freezes my heart
And the pain tears us apart
Always weeping
inside my chest
I had to tell him
I couldn't string this along
Our two hearts were once one
Now only emptiness
I call home
Our time will fade
The end of all today
A blackened sun
Shines my next day
As the stars come out
I want to be with you
But the next day
Realization shows through
We were no good together
You know this to be true
Nothing harder ...

I'LL BOTHER YOU NO MORE
YES
I am a slow
learner but
once I learn
it is never
forgotten or
worth spending
idle time trying
to go through
a dead-end..
I
tried being coy,
casual and up front.
sometimes feeling
a brief ray of hope;
BUT
I have learned another
lesson in the life
of a wannabe poet:
"Enough fooling yourself."
I
will never bother
YOU again.
P.S. No! I'm not leaving DUP. Thanks for your encouragement.

Intimacy Blockade
Intimacy Blockade
Where to begin
When
The mascarade
Ends,
What's the use
Of pretending?
It gives
The appearance
Of everything's
Sending
That message
Of perfection all day.
When the lights
Come on
And the bar
Shuts down
And the ring
On the finger spins round,
What was the point
Of starting
This
Fling
When the darkness
Was all on the ground?
Where to begin
When
The mascarade
Ends,
What's the use
Of pretending?
It gives
The appearance
Of everything's
Sending
That message
Of perfection all day.
When the lights
Come on
And the bar
Shuts down
And the ring
On the finger spins round,
What was the point
Of starting
This
Fling
When the darkness
Was all on the ground?

Rearranging my range of (e)motion
I stay away
walk on the periphery of people
keep to myself
stay small and nimble
strengthening
what I've learned
needs to be stronger
Trying to lose the penchant
for long distance damages,
where my depth perception
perceives things much smaller in the mirror
than how they actually appear
Forging along
each siren step—
a muscle flexed
under weight
that bears down
in welcoming
transformation
How it permeates
each cell,
lifting...

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!

tired young girl drinking espresso in a cafe
San Francisco
1987
Cafe Babar
tired young girl
sipping an espresso
waiting for the sun
to stop sunning
waiting for the clouds
to stop clouding
waiting for the rain
to stop raining
waiting for the poets
to stop poeting
waiting for the tic-toc
of the clock to stop
ticking
waiting for her heart
beat to stop beating
waiting for the ache
of love to stop
aching

some days my fears are louder than my sanity
Your silence is so loud
I hear everything it has to say
but none of it's true
it's just my fear filling in the blanks
Just because I feel like a ghost
doesn't mean I want to be one
there is nothing beautiful
about being made of glass bones
everyone thinks they can see through
like my existence is obvious
yet irrelevant
You found my haunting place
and turned the lights on
and told me my shadow
wasn't my reflection
it was just science my imagination forgot
I thought you were magic ...

A place of distance
Where belief seems like make believe
Reason finding no concrete purchase in alone
There is no saying
For whatever speech might be
Doesn't change a thing
Just dark muttering
Forlorn
As the weight upon the soul now borne
The world, indifferent, has no cause to pause
It knows no pain that naws
I know the broken end of things
The hollowness of truth that rings
A blackness knelling
The soot, the ash, the char of...

You don't need to hide.
I wasn't hiding from you.
I let you do what you do.
It helps, if you're here too.
Ill help you out.
I have secrets to shout out.
Come hear the symphony,
Of me crying out loud.
I sit and brood.
Wishing you were here, too.
There's no privacy as you intrude.
With your calm, quiet attitude.
I find you like the truth.
Come out of hiding and introduce.
Your distance is abuse.
Don't cut me off of this noose.
I like to sway in the nude.
The weather decays as they view....
I wasn't hiding from you.
I let you do what you do.
It helps, if you're here too.
Ill help you out.
I have secrets to shout out.
Come hear the symphony,
Of me crying out loud.
I sit and brood.
Wishing you were here, too.
There's no privacy as you intrude.
With your calm, quiet attitude.
I find you like the truth.
Come out of hiding and introduce.
Your distance is abuse.
Don't cut me off of this noose.
I like to sway in the nude.

and so loud
yes, I was lazy, but also scared
working in the factory, everything and everyone seemed so hard
to remember it now

Losing one’s Mind
Losing one’s Mind
A fading darkness behind the eyes
Leaving behind a pillar of lies
Exposing a framework of cries
And a crown of bone
The deep sparks of the mind
Begin to lose their bind
Cutting out the ability to find
A mind to call your own
Great circuits fall quiet for ever
Leaving no more endeavor
To banish the skin of night in the never
And no sight in the light shone
The gears soon turn without guide
Purpose is gone to hide
A blind and rumbling thing to side
With whatever...
A fading darkness behind the eyes
Leaving behind a pillar of lies
Exposing a framework of cries
And a crown of bone
The deep sparks of the mind
Begin to lose their bind
Cutting out the ability to find
A mind to call your own
Great circuits fall quiet for ever
Leaving no more endeavor
To banish the skin of night in the never
And no sight in the light shone
The gears soon turn without guide
Purpose is gone to hide
A blind and rumbling thing to side
With whatever...

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...
