Alone With The Ghosts Of My Mother
The times
After finding my mother dead
Between her bedroom, and the hallway
Were stark
And the nightmares
Then the funeral
Then the after funeral get together
At my mothers flat
I have only vague memories
Of conversations
Drifting over the ether of death
Then i watched
As people slowly dispersed
Becoming ghost like
As they left
Until there was only me
In an empty flat
Full of my recent nightmarish memories
And the stain on the floorboards
Where i'd found her lying
And her ashes on the...

Scholarly Things
The darkness suffocates
as we dream of scholarly
things. Slumbering visions
of mayhem and madness,
a delicacy only the devils
can bring.
Oh to feel the beautiful
chaos violently displaying
behind these eyes,
sweating and screaming
in the depths of midnight ,
again betrayed by restful
lies.

Into the Dreaming Land
Rays of light fall down the way,
But I cannot be here to stay,
I must close my eyes and lay.
Into the black,
Into the vistas of the deep,
That is where my mind does sleep.
Deeper still into the dreaming land.
Deeper still into the roil.
Deeper still into the unknown.
But I cannot be here to stay,
I must close my eyes and lay.
Into the black,
Into the vistas of the deep,
That is where my mind does sleep.
Deeper still into the dreaming land.
Deeper still into the roil.
Deeper still into the unknown.

Close To The Windowsill
In the mind's labyrinth, the gift of being
twilight's Magi lost in darkness
midnight sable
unraveling the soul fading to the night
Blue Velvet dreaming immortal fragments
slaying the dragons
beneath the moonlight creeping
closer to the windowsill
in the mind's labyrinth
to be my playmate
twilight's Magi lost in darkness
midnight sable
unraveling the soul fading to the night
Blue Velvet dreaming immortal fragments
slaying the dragons
beneath the moonlight creeping
closer to the windowsill
in the mind's labyrinth

today in the news
have you ever had the
experience of driving
on a winters day
and running into a patch
of black ice
and all of a sudden you
lose your wheels from
beneath you
and the world feels as
out of control as a
drunken college party
and your not sure of
what direction your
going

Adrenaline
it started in 2013
seven weeks of
horrible stress
painful losses
no deep sleep
a broken doll
functioning on
just adrenaline
trying to survive
feeling helpless
utterly restless
she didn't fade
this razor blade
got more powers
as years went by
she causes me to
wake up at night
i'm tired & wired
need some sleep
i'm done with this
exhausting tornado
fucking adrenal fatigue

Hair on the back of my neck
Bite for my lips to peel
Bruises mostly teal
Reactions unable to heal
Periphreal vision clear
It's not true just because I feel
Can't trust what I hear
Always sure someone's near
Lay on the bed nerves on third gear
Never too long without watching rear
Free of terror but live in sheer
Trust my gut even when it's not real

final consequence
For I am persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor
things present, nor things to come, Nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able
to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”—Romans 8:38, 39
i won the jostle over
sleep this morning,
a night-long fight that ended
with the dawning.
discordant dreams ripped through my
equilibrium,
ere buoyant hopes bequeathed me
true asylum.

habits die harder in nightmares
It was like one of those
cigarette dreams where you smoke
(or drink or break your
sobriety)
and get pissed at
yourself
but do it anyway
Filthy habits always seem
to die
harder in dreams
So it was with us
last night
We stood on
opposite sides
of a cursed door
foreheads pressed
eyes closed
palms flat
as if we could
transmogrify
the sick regret
to anything
anything
else
through the...

Reaper
Stalk the hunter
Fallen prey
A game played in an endless maze
Walking hunted
Fall and pray
The same way against the grain
Scythe into the wheat
Blessed ergot
Sow what you reap
Delusional rot
Gone without a sound
Inhale
Then let it all out
On it's way down
In Hell
Without a doubt
Fan the flames
Sacred shadow
Predator restraint
Naked gallows
An empty rope
A waiting head
Sacrificial goat
Two coins for the dead
Spinal column broke ...

The Horrifying Nightmares
If you promise not to speak to anyone about this, I'll tell you my story. It's not out of shame or embarrassment that I prefer confidentiality. It's just that, well...not many people believe such a wild tale.
You see, around this time every year, I am tormented by a nightmare. I've tried to stay up without sleeping but I inevitably fail at my attempts each time. It's as though I'm under some menacing spell that refuses to break its hold. But I believe I may know the source of its origins.
I've been a Buddy Holly fan since I can remember. His guitar...

Bibi and Biden
The conservative hand has made it clear,
with Genocide Joe and Genocide Jew,
that their bombs don't give a shit who is who
in any young family fleeing in fear.
But Bibi and Biden are not the same.
One loves the bombs much more than the other,
to murder folks with an Arabic name
as Semite brother on Semite brother!
No longer caring when targets are dead
and by detonations reduced to paste
not even considered medical waste
but a rusty stain, (where once was a head),
provided by some weapon crafty Yanks... ...
