held tight in its grip
the wine sheds
it's skin and the
morning is sick
with a hangover
the birds in the
trees are snipers
waiting to take
the kill shot
the grey smoke
rising from my
Italian cigar is
tired and listless
there are no bulls
around, but there's
bullshit everywhere
I would like to escape
to a place where the sun
sings and the drinks are
poured deep and strong
I do not know when
laughter will
return
I do not know when
daylight will
return
...

"TO ALL THE HUSTLERS "
I remember, when 🤔 all I ever wanted to be in my life, was just a hustler!
Some don't get it, and some its all about the dollars!!
No matter how you put it, anywhere in America, most of us street scholars!!
Never even bothered to attempt to follow the rules!
No excuses for let downs, take backs, back-biters, double minded, consumers, keep consuming!!
To all the hustlers, here's a prayer, hoping 🙏 it touches, to all those so called players!!
To happen to fall back, and repeat this hustlers prayer! ...

Battle of my mind
I contemplate my existence
Question the path I lead
Look for an inner voice
A way to plant a seed
Because shrouded in the darkness
Is a light I yearn to find
A dream of a star
As I try to break the bind
An eternal flame within
But lost within a storm
Fighting to be on top
But my head is filled with scorn
A battle of my mind
Unsure of what to do
Going day by day
And hoping to make it through
Question the path I lead
Look for an inner voice
A way to plant a seed
Because shrouded in the darkness
Is a light I yearn to find
A dream of a star
As I try to break the bind
An eternal flame within
But lost within a storm
Fighting to be on top
But my head is filled with scorn
A battle of my mind
Unsure of what to do
Going day by day
And hoping to make it through

Sharing is Caring
I’d love to let you read my poems dear,
But I worry they’ll tell you all my secrets.
I just cant risk us finding out who I am.
More tea?

Person with a Trash pin on their coat
I feel like ima faint when I work the mid shift at a god forsaken convalescent Home
I never have time to eat
I wake up at 1, having come in from the noc shift at 7am, take a shower and brace myself
I always need long periods of time where I’m just thinking and completely inert
I think of nothing, everything and all in between
My stomach hurts
I recognize the back of my mothers head more than the front in childhood memories
Where did our friendship go to die?
Is my friend usurping my personality and mannerisms, albeit poorly?
Today I think about...

Mm... The Sorceress’ Sultry Spell
Elvira yes, I am okay.”
I am walking through the forest back to my castle, since it’s such a beautiful day
My time trapped in that mirror, I would say, time never moved
I had to summon the storms, the mist of the fog, and my surrounding elements from the bed of earth as my voice softly soothed
Girl, the Sorceress’ Council sent out a search party for you however, without ado
We looked until darkness fell
Some of the members tossed gold coins to find you in the wishing well
That was nice, what an ordeal, I suppose that’s life... oh well
What...

Mask and Mirror
There is nothing clearer
than this mask and mirror
to sum up all
that I resolve to be
while I wear a disguise
from even myself
dust gathering upon a shelf
yet polishing the looking glass
so that when I do finally pass
I may come to truly see
everything that is not me
than this mask and mirror
to sum up all
that I resolve to be
while I wear a disguise
from even myself
dust gathering upon a shelf
yet polishing the looking glass
so that when I do finally pass
I may come to truly see
everything that is not me

Shirley Was Spotted In Her Room
Shirley was spotted in her room
looking in the mirror to
bloom with her new red
bikini on... and smile, too.

Reflection...
It is a deadly game
when it always ends the same
leaving just me
facing off against myself
These never-ending hours
are like weak wilting flowers
yielding once more
to the weight of my truth
Such secrets I do keep
burying them ever deep
meant to remain
covered up by a clever smile
So I use these words I say
to always get my way
opening up new doors
cracking heavy windows
Doubling down to the end
on this life I defend
with one solemn pledge
while I...

Invisible Again
Like a ghost
Unseen
Unheard
Perhaps absurd
The only time
It's no crime
I get seen
Like an unseen beauty queen
My features
Etched in charcoal
On virgin white paper
Wearing just my skin
Perhaps
One day
When artists portray me
I'll be invisible
An empty page
Not a wise old sage
And one day soon
Perhaps
I will no longer
Cast a reflection
In my old dusty mirror
Nor a shadow
In the sun
My silhouette gone
As i become
Completely invisible
Perhaps the last year ...
