My Mind Is A Prison
I cannot stop
Waking up in cold sweats
Remnants of my terrors
Fading so quickly
I can hardly grasp what they were
Waking up in cold sweats
Remnants of my terrors
Fading so quickly
I can hardly grasp what they were

shadow tangled vines
shadow
tangled vines
wrap themselves
around
my sleep,
delicate
breathing
coming from
my chest,
my dreams
blinking
within each
direction
and
my hands
tied,
whether this
is natural
or unnatural
occurrence,
each thought
works its
way to
the surface,
awakening
i realized
i felt
this way
every time
i thought
of you
walking away.

Dreaming of Home
I woke up beside you, in a house that we own,
sobbing and broken ‘cause I couldn’t find home.
The dream was so vivid, the feeling so raw;
an aching realization I’d been here before.
No one to guide me, found my way on my own,
following my instincts, somehow I knew the road.
I set out across the water, though I couldn’t see the way;
unseen creatures threatening, but I kept the fears at bay.
When “HOME” finally appeared as if out of thin air,
I could tell everybody was already there.
They’d gone on without me, not thinking to wait, ...
sobbing and broken ‘cause I couldn’t find home.
The dream was so vivid, the feeling so raw;
an aching realization I’d been here before.
No one to guide me, found my way on my own,
following my instincts, somehow I knew the road.
I set out across the water, though I couldn’t see the way;
unseen creatures threatening, but I kept the fears at bay.
When “HOME” finally appeared as if out of thin air,
I could tell everybody was already there.
They’d gone on without me, not thinking to wait, ...

Naked Cold Place
Awakening in this naked cold place
wandering somberly espresso
stained caffeine bleeding red
fading into obscurity's melancholy
haunting my wretched dreams
of fog on the shores of eternal sleep
at the bottom of the demitasse
wandering somberly espresso
stained caffeine bleeding red

bad dreams
stalked,
those tremors
prepared
the nights
through
sleep,
bad dreams
lay thick
bare pinnacle
shallow
breathing,
shaking in
the thin
air.

Something Whooshed...!
Something Whooshed…!
On a planet, in a country, in a state, in a town,
on a street where a lampost shines
and the houses, very warm, quiet dreamers in their sleep
like a hush after church bell chimes.
Something whooshed on the wind in the distance.
Something galloped in the lime moonlight
and its wings cut the air into slices of Fear
which it tossed in the night with delight.
And I shivered with a tremble and began to disassemble
with the fright now fused to my bones.
Slices landed on the rooftops, slid across...

the Feather
Softened and surrounded
bedsheets like a welcome
sorrow that brings me
to sleep
Slumber now, be gentle
nightmares flow
like currents
I'll drown if you
follow their lead
wake me in the blood light,
a moment when the Moon sighs
and watch the tremble
as Her daughter speaks
I'll lay to waste her temple,
words to soak in toluene
burning down the curtains
drawn to keep the monster
from my dreams
Im sorry, I can't hold it-
The wrath that's like a feather
torn from...

burning down the curtains
drawn to keep the monster

Im sorry, I can't hold it-

Between Seams
Between seams beyond dreams tiptoeing in life
listening to the death's creeping obituary draped
in a dark piñata filled with a broken heart
moseying on down to Worm Town in a box
wishing I could have been a bit more rigor
before the Big Guy pulled the friggin' trigger
as moths dance in neon's blinking lights
between seams beyond dreams tiptoeing in life
listening to the death's creeping obituary draped
in a dark piñata filled with a broken heart
moseying on down to Worm Town in a box
wishing I could have been a bit more rigor
before the Big Guy pulled the friggin' trigger
as moths dance in neon's blinking lights
between seams beyond dreams tiptoeing in life

Night Terror
I want to go to sleep now
But my mind wants to play games
It’s really dark, the dogs they bark
No night ever the same
I feel things as they crawl on me
My scalp begins to itch
My clothes no longer comfortable
Up on the bed I sit
I look out into darkness
Hold the covers to my eyes
I feel a finger touch my back
Jump up, let out a cry
The lamp it comes to life
I look around to a bare room
The room is dim and heavy
Almost like a darkness looms
There’s no one here, he’s out of town

Trapped In, Do Wah Diddy
Dark poetry is but bending the elbow
with broken pieces of memories past
sewn together in torment's flesh
into the midst of forgotten lore
screaming from a grave's imagination
saying it darkly, saying what a friend
with my Bic pen trapped in...

go back to sleep...
when the nightmares fade
and the fog of time settles in
like an old patchwork quilt
scraps of the past stitched together
in some haphazard kinda manner
blanketing history with a groggy me
muffling the internal screams
until I'm finally able to sleep
unsettled...twitchy...a little uneasy...
but desperate for a respite
a moment's unblemished peace
I lay tensed in a compact ball
occupying the least required space
waiting for sandman's call
listening to the erratic thud of my heart

The Ghost Within
In the realm of dreams, once more I beheld,
A solitary night, within shadows dwelled.
Amidst the darkness, elusive and light,
It lurked, playing in the veils of the night.
Vanishing before my eyes, a spectral dance,
Reappearing in dreams, a mysterious trance.
Is it mere imagination, a play of the mind,
Or a tangible presence, elusive to find?
In the vast expanse of the universe, I ponder,
Does the spirit exist, in realms yonder?
Yet, perhaps, when my journey finds its end,
The answers unfold, the mysteries transcend.
A solitary night, within shadows dwelled.
Amidst the darkness, elusive and light,
It lurked, playing in the veils of the night.
Vanishing before my eyes, a spectral dance,
Reappearing in dreams, a mysterious trance.
Is it mere imagination, a play of the mind,
Or a tangible presence, elusive to find?
In the vast expanse of the universe, I ponder,
Does the spirit exist, in realms yonder?
Yet, perhaps, when my journey finds its end,
The answers unfold, the mysteries transcend.
