Waiting For The Sun
A weak midnight
where thought,
dark thoughts
take over.
Covering myself with
blankets and singing the
theme to the Smurfs,
"La la la-la la la"
trying to drown it all out.
Nightmares flourish.

Hunger
The night is calling to satiate these strange hunger pangs,
It’s nearly a full a moon and I’ve grown newfangled fangs.

The monster’s face is becoming clearer,
When I realize I’m looking in the mirror.

The Man Who Wears A Top Hat
He called me out into the cold
I said no,
I closed the door,
he turned around but did not go.

Here, But Only When I Sleep
The light dances across your skin
My fingertips trace your fragile bones
Soft touch makes your hair stand on end
I wake up and find that I’m alone
My fingertips trace your fragile bones
Soft touch makes your hair stand on end
I wake up and find that I’m alone

Amour Propre
Many shall choose submissiveness,
degrading their spirit.
Like a butterfly’s tenuous wing
disintegrating in the air your world inflames with narcissism.

Murdered
she stared at me
the wrong way
so I murdered my muse
tossed her in the bin
along with my horrible
poetry
tomorrow is garbage day

Squirm
I darkly confess
without remorse or,
empathy,
there is nothing like eating something
still squirming to stay alive.

living in the trenches ...
delving into the mind is an archeological
dig, and whatever one brings to the surface
inevitably requires interpretation,
whereupon the whole excavation collapses..
