Frank Sinatra-ism
I know you mean well
I really do
but goddamn
everything I do doesn't require
your "expertise"
do you enjoy being a nag
or is it hereditary?
your mouth all mighty tongue everlasting
can be such a drag at times
makes me wonder if you were always
an old hag in disguise looking for
someone you can henpeck
into an early grave
you met me being me
being free
it was my sovereignty
that made you wet...made you sweat
or did you forget?

Patient Zero
As if by a vampiric bite
fresh rage transfers from brain to brain
in right cerebra fight or flight
as undead psychic virus pain;
bloodborne by iron pathogen
the right cerebra thinks it's right
to act just like an ape again
when rage will one more rage invite
like Dracula into the home
of probity, peace, and its joy...
to spread, like rabies in a foam,
or Trojan horse Greek troops deploy
when plunder is the main conceit
for rapacity and its deceit.

The Chase
Got my eye on a prize
And I won’t stop til I win it
Gonna give this shit my all:
I’m removing all competition.
I’m intoxicated,
Infatuated and some more…
So I’m gonna chase this one down,
Make sure I get her for sure.
She seems like a nice girl.
Let me pretend to be the same.
Seems like her heads on straight,
Wonder if she’ll see through my game?
Ima just tell her something good.
Ima tell her something sweet.
Ima buy her some flowers…
Maybe take her out to eat.
Mmm.
Can’t wait to get in...
And I won’t stop til I win it
Gonna give this shit my all:
I’m removing all competition.
I’m intoxicated,
Infatuated and some more…
So I’m gonna chase this one down,
Make sure I get her for sure.
She seems like a nice girl.
Let me pretend to be the same.
Seems like her heads on straight,
Wonder if she’ll see through my game?
Ima just tell her something good.
Ima tell her something sweet.

Maybe take her out to eat.
Mmm.
Can’t wait to get in...

The Drama
It's just another scene
Going down in the drama of my life
This one is supposed to break my heart
But I find that I don't care
Too much drama has deadened my emotions
Too many tears and way too many raised voices
I can't bring myself to get mad
You might just as well save your breath
I guess it's goodbye
Hello hello
Do you hear what I say
Over your strident cry
And the tears fall hot and heavy
But I don't care about any of it
It's nothing new to me at all
So I close my heart to it
Goodbye...
Going down in the drama of my life
This one is supposed to break my heart
But I find that I don't care
Too much drama has deadened my emotions
Too many tears and way too many raised voices
I can't bring myself to get mad
You might just as well save your breath
I guess it's goodbye
Hello hello
Do you hear what I say
Over your strident cry
And the tears fall hot and heavy
But I don't care about any of it
It's nothing new to me at all
So I close my heart to it
Goodbye...

dark romance
solitude
has
left me
barely
breathing,
twisting me,
pressing me
into wine,
my debris
considered
and scattered
through
what was
a dark
romance,
i saw
nothing
when i
became
nothing,
until i
came up
for air.

Mumbly-Peg With The Elf
Playing Mumbly-Peg with the elf
in séance with a smartphone
communicating with one's self
wondering where the time went
waiting for my English Muffin
and my omen's to pop in
spooning me marmalade
in séance with a smartphone
playing Mumbly-Peg with the elf
in séance with a smartphone
communicating with one's self
wondering where the time went
waiting for my English Muffin
and my omen's to pop in
spooning me marmalade
in séance with a smartphone
playing Mumbly-Peg with the elf

Intense Nature
No, no, don't get me wrong
I am intense as intense can be
As intense as when thunder and lightning play together
As intense as that first taste of a really good, hot meal
As intense as the taste of pure sugar and caffeine
I am intense and I am loved for my nature
Always you have made me feel that I am too intense
When the truth is I am too intense FOR you
I am intense as intense can be
As intense as when thunder and lightning play together
As intense as that first taste of a really good, hot meal
As intense as the taste of pure sugar and caffeine
I am intense and I am loved for my nature
Always you have made me feel that I am too intense
When the truth is I am too intense FOR you

finding closure alone
I told you I couldn't make us work anymore
...and you just walked
not a sign of remorse
no questions asked
just gone
if I would have had a chance...
...this is what I would have said...
I never should have been the only one carrying us
the truth of you...
was more than you shared
less than I deserved
as you led me through your tangle of half-lies
feeding me beautiful words...
...on the stinging edge of a whip
crowding me...
into the darkest corners of my own mind
the perfect prison...
for...

Ghost of The Dobsonfly
As the twilight faints to a draconian sky
over the moon of my Shaddai
thinking Cheetos a gift from the Magi
choosing between tails and life's samurai
veiling the windows in winter's ossuary
awakening ghosts of the dobsonfly
mocking the dysphoria of the walleye
as twilight phallus slobbers night's rabbi
with soundtracks of the codified
turned loose in society without an alibi
as the twilight faints to a draconian sky
listening to the mynah birds aye
over the moon of my Shaddai
thinking Cheetos a gift from the Magi
choosing between tails and life's samurai
veiling the windows in winter's ossuary
awakening ghosts of the dobsonfly
mocking the dysphoria of the walleye
as twilight phallus slobbers night's rabbi
with soundtracks of the codified
turned loose in society without an alibi
as the twilight faints to a draconian sky
listening to the mynah birds aye

TAKE TIME TO HEAL
It's funny no one ever told you that the most hardest thing that you, will have to go through is finding someone who does understand. WHAT it means to be consistent and commitment, to be able to have real communications even if we have to agree to disagree. Yet it's strange that it's not easy, but yet anything else is not acceptable, for sure the hurt will be a very heavy factor as there is gonna be pain, that is heavy upon the heart resting upon your shoulders ❤️ Which gives you the time to experience the healing process of rebuilding your life as you learned that healing...
