Awake All Night
Last night I could not sleep
I don’t know what is wrong with me
Last night I could not sleep
I don’t know what is wrong with me
When I go in to bed and close my eyes
Only bad things rolling in my mind
Maybe something in my history
Maybe everything in my memory
Maybe nothing, maybe that full fucking moon last night
I don't know, but I want sleep
This is driving me crazy
I need my sleep, I need my sleep
During the day I'll be lazy
I need my sleep, I need my sleep
Have a dream, to sleep forever
I need my...
I don’t know what is wrong with me
Last night I could not sleep
I don’t know what is wrong with me
When I go in to bed and close my eyes
Only bad things rolling in my mind
Maybe something in my history
Maybe everything in my memory
Maybe nothing, maybe that full fucking moon last night
I don't know, but I want sleep
This is driving me crazy
I need my sleep, I need my sleep
During the day I'll be lazy
I need my sleep, I need my sleep

Discovery
What is the true purpose of
Me
From the day I opened my eyes
Into the unknowing world
The immediate world
Mom, Dad, and Me
Like a bud
Precious and new
Timid to push forth
On a planet that is skewed
With plans for me and you
I grow as I must
Ingest and trust information
To go on and survive
To stay here
To stay alive
Then, the brutality came.
Constant like unforgiving rain
In the form of laughter and judgment
Pain
This is just a season I must endure
To...

Penny Candy Thoughts
My throat burns sugar
Hot cinnamon thoughts
Unraveled my dreams
Love in a clear glass jar
Twirling frizzy fire hair
Gaze darting
On tips of saddle shoes
I choose wisely
My sad candy
Hot cinnamon thoughts
Unraveled my dreams
Love in a clear glass jar
Twirling frizzy fire hair
Gaze darting
On tips of saddle shoes
I choose wisely
My sad candy

utterly
dwindling thought withering in context
my mind ceases in ideas and gets angry
withdrawing from the lense
I don't wish to be observed
shaken epiphany I am cut off
from who I used to be
evolving utterly different
I wonder did that version of me die out of necessity
keening hope she was so beautiful
she was not me but I share her memories
grief burdens me, I wonder did I kill her, one thought at a time
drain her essence and discard her in the past
the present knows only me
it's a curious thing, I...

Three thoughts before getting out of bed.
1.
Homeless with a roof over your head
Horny with pussy there in your bed
Hungry with meatloaf there on your bread
Alive and still breathing but notionally dead.
2
I'm getting hard as I write this
I don't want the slow dance today
I want to tear your panties off
No kissing, no gentleness
I want to throw you on the bed
With no desire for head
I just want my hunger to plunge
Violently in and out of you
I don't want to care if you cum
It's about me today
Five minutes of selfishness and greed ...
Homeless with a roof over your head
Horny with pussy there in your bed
Hungry with meatloaf there on your bread
Alive and still breathing but notionally dead.

LAUGHING AT MYSELF
ME!
Every day I pause
to visit my comedy club
where I laugh at myself
out of honest reflection.
There are a lot of things
I laugh at, mostly the
dumb things I say and
the things I forget to say.
My favorite laugh comes
when I forget where
I left my keys or not
realizing I didn't set my alarm.
Then there's telling
the same person the same
story over and over not
seeing their boredom.
I don't think I'll share
the sexual laughs I
have at myself, it'll
be a tell-all...

Warrior
I wake long before light slides
into the sandboxes of my eyes.
There is always more to night
than sleeping. I lie still, listening
to the furnace breathing, something
deeply distant clearing its throat
in the driest corner of darkness.
Jets on the concourse, engines
rumbling with discord circling
the REM of sleep. Kachina glass
rattling, a stampede of buffalo
through the marrowed tunnel
of my bones, their hooves caked
with corpuscles of memory;
the smell of splintered wood
pasture...
into the sandboxes of my eyes.

FROM OUT OF THE ASHES
Sitting here as I stare up at the ceiling and look around at these four walls that surrounds me my mind slowly drifts to a place and time within my life when I was young wild and dangerous, but all it costed me was time as I found myself locked up in a cell behind steel and stones doing a 5-10 with time to think if only I would of just stop look and listen and told someone of the abuse.

NAKED CORNER
I long thought 'Not going to happen -
me going nude in my back garden;
there just isn't enough privacy
when my upstairs flat neighbours can see!"
But I found if you choose right time of day,
where there is a will there is a way!
I lately took up my pre-dawn run
as me-time exercise and for fun.
Once back at my side door, from lit street,
I see my backyard shady, discreet,
If upstairs neighbours' windows aren't lit
I know where to go to leave off kit.
I slip to corner behind my shed,
there slip off my run...
me going nude in my back garden;
there just isn't enough privacy
when my upstairs flat neighbours can see!"
But I found if you choose right time of day,
where there is a will there is a way!
I lately took up my pre-dawn run
as me-time exercise and for fun.
Once back at my side door, from lit street,
I see my backyard shady, discreet,
If upstairs neighbours' windows aren't lit
I know where to go to leave off kit.
I slip to corner behind my shed,
there slip off my run...

Blood Raw
I don't fake shit, I come blood raw
If you knew me then, then you know I'm just as before
No puffed out chest, that shit will get you kill
But you can tell by how I carry myself, I'm the real fucking deal
True I live by a code, live life while I live
Look death in the face and don't fucking give
Think of everyday,every breath as a punch in his fucking face
Laugh to your dam self as he battles to keep pace
What I did I consider the shit done
I don't have to look back at my life to see that all battles weren't won
But I consider...

Please, stay
I find my voice
will not cooperate
for the task of asking
you to stay.
It feels weak, a failure
knowing I need you.
Of all the situations
life could possibly present
this would be the last
I’d employ, yet~
“don’t go”,
screams my mind .
I know you hear it.
Looking away
is the only action
that feels normal
as your eyes burn
into my soul,
I see your arms lift
to wrap around
my shoulders
but they feel heavy
and
burdened.
