Crippled Predator
A hungry wolf
Afraid to kill rabbits
So you know he ain't going after a deer
Self-imposed sentence of solitude
Without a pack
elk and moose have nothing to fear
Waiting...
Hungrily
Wishing...
and Sorely Lacking
Not in fang nor strength
But confidence,
ferocity
Even the hawk and owl, who rabbits fear,
will not challenge him
They laugh at him
but safely
from a distance
Just in case he remembers
what he really is
"In the...

Lover Girl Syndrome
I can fall in love with anyone if you give me 3 days and a common thread. And I think that's my problem. I don't want or like cautiously climbing for the sake of saving face or being rational. I want to love them, and I want to do so now. This most recent boy? In 3 days, I imagined waking in his arms to snow outside my bedroom window. And he said he wanted casual. What the fuck is casual? I only know seeing someone and showing them a portrait of my perspective. That's how I love people. I want to show them magic and now I am terrified to be that. I have to DM someone and ask them "how...

Frigid gaze
I felt it all,
Coming,
Bitter,
Over my body!
Prejudice shaped,
Colored in judgement,
Co-living with darkness,
death as strangulates my warm throat.
Flagrant interconnection,
if only my kind were solitary DNA,
Rumbling over the forest,
Friend with trees.
Solitary coyote.
I gaze up!
All the colors of the scenery!
The show of the stars, the dearest lullaby!
The promise of a cosmic wonderland,
Of freedom!
I got it from them.
It is all missing this day!
What is happening?
Where did all come...

Yesterday's Warmth
You're an idea whose time hasn't come.
Still from it, I've no place to run.
Shiny sparkles, that shine from here,
In reality, they are my tears.
You're an idea, whose time has come and gone.
Now I'm forever sad, & lonesome.
Yesterday's warmth, it went away.
When we parted ways, it simply would not stay.
Still from it, I've no place to run.
Shiny sparkles, that shine from here,
In reality, they are my tears.
You're an idea, whose time has come and gone.
Now I'm forever sad, & lonesome.
Yesterday's warmth, it went away.
When we parted ways, it simply would not stay.

Coffee and Scars
.. ...
The coffee is ready...
It tastes bitter
A high-ceiling bar...
Abducting my mind
I need to form...
Deep scars in my soul
I do not like my poems...
To be in the Land of Oz
And I know...
I know I find readers
My true and sustained flights...
I know those readers turn into new scars
... ... ... ...

Innocence In Infamy
If I'm to be with her? Buy it. Peering; into the eye of the beholder. Turn the lights out. My darkness masks the presentation. Funeral veil, calculated advertisement. Show, on a distant surface, like engraving a tombstone. Dim-lit projection. Popcorn for caves and flashing theater strobes. Where I hide from her audience and company.
It's even handheld. Everything, anything, infinitely, universal, all the time, drama. How to solve? The pinnacle achievement of pride, of course. Use to fuel negative reinforcement. Such misconstrued motive seems confident. Big brother...

Feelings Forsaken
Dirty syringes and rusted scalpels
Unsaid vows and vacant wedding chapels
Charcoal colored roses who have lost its hue
Crossing me will lead you to restless days and sleepless nights filled with rue
Blood spews and incense of death crepts viciously through the bodies of the decomposed
Notes written without a cause left unread and distant memories left unrecognizable to the eye of it's holder destined to be eroded.
Missed phone calls without the simple solice of a voicemail and followed by a missed opportunity that comes once a...

Kisses to floor
Face down once again
From picking sores that
Well perhaps left unsaid
Definitely no need for waiting to bleed
Even those hungry ghost need a feed
Once every full moon at least
Seems that way finder of empty wine
Bottles the feeling deep in time
Of somber beating heart
The alcohol breaks the ice
Lubricants for those social misanthrope
Malcontent wanna give a fuck
Sure why not could be fun
Or atomically methodically single minded
Self destruction anyone
Cold shivers violent shakes
Company...

Stress
Stress
Staring out the window.
Spreadsheet on the computer.
Figures for review.
5 O'clock decision demanded.
But I stare out the window.
Only figure on my mind is yours.
How you just pop up in my thoughts.
Distract me from my tasks.
Maybe it was a scent,
or work drudgery,
that made my mind wander.
Tough decision,
much pressure and stress.
But there I am laying in bed,
you caressing my chest.
Dam'it, focus!
Less I concentrate,
the more I stress.
Decision make, ...

this darkness isn't big enough for two
I don't want to be alone with you
in the dark tonight
trading scars and spilling darkness
like cheap cask wine
because alcoholics
don't buy nice things
and our souls don't know
how to aim for top shelf destruction
We are discarded art
half drawn and torn in strange places
I tried to tape you back together
but you wrapped me up
in your co-dependence
and I was too lonely to cut you off
because like every drug
that's picked me up to let me fall
you got inside and gave me something
I never...

Breaking Tide
So I say tonight, that I am breaking like the tide. No shores to find so that I could break inside. I'm a cowboy lost on the plains, without a steed to ride. My thoughts of you cut deep. That I bleed inside. I'm the face of the moon, my world is dark so I have no place to hide. My dreams wept last night, in my sleep I heard them cry. And my screams grew wings so I let them fly. Oh yes my flesh is weak, yet my spirit never dies. And at sunrise, I found no warm shores to welcome my breaking tides.
