Practical Joke?
Someone handcuffed & gagged me to a chair
I believe I was drugged
I have no food & water
I'm in a room I don't recognize
I try & escape
It's no use
Someone comes into the room and yells HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
A bunch of other people make their way into the room
They're all blowing into party favors and balloons are all around
I don't recognize any of them
It's not my birthday
One person says to another
That's not Tim
We have the wrong person
How could this be?

Musty Wallpaper #2
In the shadows of the night, where the wind moans,
stands a dark and solemn castle.
Inside there are secrets from a dark past
and echoes of screams in a late lament.
The dark hallways stained with blood
They tell stories of unhappy love.
In the main hall a feast of horror
where death dances in macabre fervor.
Candles flicker, shadows come to life,
the full moon looks on pale and haughty.
In the broken mirror reflections of pain
reveal scenes of ancient gore.
The clock strikes, midnight has arrived.
Spirits...

She
She spent her days
wishing for water
in a world of flames
Shifting shadows,
venomous voices
all around her
in wake and sleep
She couldn't
make music
of the noise
the fire made
She was
the devil's cigarette

Seeds Planted at Night
The nightmares bare the stench
of the boats, rotting flesh and the
street lamp humming of flies
feasting upon death
Even amidst the garden of Edom
on blood soaked ground, with sun
bleached bones I worry so much
more for the moral decay
A subtle recalibration of the notions
of good and evil breeding
machines that kill adorned with
flesh and uniforms
How easily it came to put knife
to flesh, dealing death like playing
cards, aces and eights, bullets
before bargaining
In the swirling duality...

Be Healthy, Avoid GMO's
Take my order while you serve me
I don't like you or this food
How I got here, Not to sure
One bad trip, unlocked this door
I'm not feeling so fine
My stomach is cursed,
I committed a crime
Take me to that place where the elephants flew
Dolphins walked, swimming kangaroo's
I wouldn't mind if they all spoke to me
Maybe like playing charades
Sharks burrowing in trees
I've visited this place a few times in the last week
I needed a passport to meet with myself
He didn't understand me, I don't speak...

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
to be my playmate

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
well...
just turn on the
news

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
