Machine Blood
Nearing the days departure
Upon streetlights awakening
Pumping such machineblood
Fast into her steel veins cold
Crystal gaze, formal camouflage
To everyone, she's unassuming
Ancient eyes, turning on, locking in
With her, prey will always be prey
They never fight or take flight
She waltzes between their rhythm
Two shots, no second shooter
In her hands they drop like flies
Upon streetlights awakening
Pumping such machineblood
Fast into her steel veins cold
Crystal gaze, formal camouflage
To everyone, she's unassuming
Ancient eyes, turning on, locking in
With her, prey will always be prey
They never fight or take flight
She waltzes between their rhythm
Two shots, no second shooter
In her hands they drop like flies

enough of yourself

never find you

Scrabbling for Synonyms for Skin
The dictionaries were rigidified
By certain secretions, spurted in the midst
Of our desperation to fuse two disparate dialects.
There, our separate speeches
Passed over the other, again and again,
And collected in a chasm carved by distinction.
Fruitlessly, we chafed against our dissimilitude.

mirrors
pull me in, hallucination
I see you vividly in my dreams
much more than just imagination
you give me life, you make me weep
longing, I reach for nothing tangible
sorrowed lullabies swirl around my mind
I believe I know much more than planned
you're ruined like me
you are nothing and everything
the epitome of my desire
slip through the mirror with me
the ocean is not the deepest water
there's a grave in me and I think you know
that love is not the safest harbor
I believe you know much more than planned ...

Perverts, Politicians and Pyromaniacs
Psychopaths and perverts
Linger in the shadows
Of the night stopping only
Long enough to up the ante
In the war against malcontents
And fading politicians who are
Serving up deep-fried linoleum
To the public
When they're not selling
Propane to the pyros
Spurred on by
The cosmic karma backlash
Where the weak are
being spoonfed their
Daily dose of scorn
Somewhere, in the shadows
The perverts easily commiserate
Beating on their pale chests
Shouting "The beasts,
They will not die."

Keeping Quiet
Keeping quiet
There’s so much that I want to say
The words stuck in my throat
My lips open I take a pause
I go to speak then choke
The deepest darkest secrets
Stay hidden in my mind
I want to tell you everything
But there’s never a right time
You stress at work, I worry you
You ask, I say I’m fine
The moment for me came and went
I keep it all inside
The words that want to come to me
They spill onto the page
With stories strung with memories
They never go away
I want to let you in...

I exist, alone.
I see clear, this "matrix" for what it is; only in the physical sense am I bound by it; I die every time I close my eyes, waking back up into this life that isn't claimed by me-it is not mine;
I see another human being-i lean moreso towards so inclined to utter words outside the lines-instead I know to shut myself inside a box of many designed;
I do not hate myself-I hate my built in archetype-I hate this portal's hold on lives-especially when one seeks to get away from programmed lies; and mental torment over time;

Poets, The Innocent Liars
sometimes we have to fake to live
for a nice feedback to receive
thus, our hearts are quite and calm
and yet, we express too much pain
we are liars, the deceiftul writers
wicked crafters, and manipulators
we seek sympathy and others attention
even against our own self-abnegation
but, sincerely we are very bad actors
making color movies from old cliches
outdated scripts and Hitchcock scenarios
to look pitiful in masked low-budget thrillers
the innocent words to outwardly deliver
alas ! die so fast...

Drifter
Suitable log up on my shoulders, time for a run.
Up this mountain cool morning breeze is on.
Sixteen kilometers legs burn.
Respect and pain something you earn.
Throw the log from my shoulders time to lift
Train battery on a cable, the pain a gift.
Hundred twenty kilo rocks pick up throw.
Cold crisp air good for the soul.
Strap to my suv drag across the field.
Stretch again release the stress I build.
Seventy kilo rocks each hand punch
Nintey kilo rock do a few crunch.
Throw a rope in a tree...

SCARED VETS
Sign of the cross everytime am close to cross between foes and my woes,
Standing In the middle of this war no side is winning I want it no more,
The cons outweigh the pros I feel conned everytime i bury a bro,
I worry our egos wont let us see this flaws,
No matter who wins they'll still embrace a loss,
Tears for each soldier a rose for each loss,
It went not how it was supposed wish I knew the cost,
My brother's ghost haunting my dreams why the war is been lost,
My confidence feel forced Wish I...

In the head
When it comes to this guy. They have to fight their own thoughts.
Boxed in toxic,
these people aren't,
in the head right.

WELL, I'LL BE DAMNED
You have put a curse on me
put a curse on your own self too
and also put a curse on all that
love has put both of us all through
damned by the love that I feel
even though I know it's real
Cursed by your seculant, sweet lips
cursed by your mischievous tricks
cursed me by your tantalizing tongue
cursed by thoughts and dreams among
damned by the love that I feel
even though I know it's real
cursed by forces beyond my control
cursed by the rut, the drop, the hole
these curses often feel so damn good ...
