WHEN THE HEART DIES
Who really knows what happens when your world, comes crashing down all around you mentally and emotionally even physically and spiritually. Robbing you of your own sanity replacing it with insanity. Who really knows what becomes of the deepness, within our spiritual soul, as we transcend into a society of humanity slowly becoming the walking dead. That some see nothing more and nothing less but false hopes and disloyalty, while others be cashing that all mighty dollar bill yet it is only printed paper printed by the government to feed you mere bread crumbs. Who really knows what the hurt and...

WALK AMONG THE TOMBS
AWAKENING
Taking a few minutes
to escape from the asphalt
world, media hype, and
pressure for more,
I spend time walking
through the graveyard with
tombs dating back 3 centuries.
The weather has worn the epitaphs
off hundreds; time has faded
the angels engraved in stone.
The newer graves have pictures
of the departed loved ones.
Some graves cost thousands,
vaults millions, and some free
to paupers. All share the same end:
DEATH
Millions have been spent
on fading and dying flowers.
The most...

WRECKAGE
The bridge is blown up!
The storm won't give up!
A heart is shattered,
And the pieces, splattered.
Bold, I thought, I was.
I Wish I knew the laws:
Not all that glitters is gold.
And now I'm catching cold.
Afar off, I saw you.
As an angel, I loved you.
My whole heart I lost.
With love I was tossed.
The Sugar is now bitter,
Like Bread without butter.
Pepper fritter, it is,
My getting better, a quiz.
The storm won't give up!
A heart is shattered,
And the pieces, splattered.
Bold, I thought, I was.
I Wish I knew the laws:
Not all that glitters is gold.
And now I'm catching cold.
Afar off, I saw you.
As an angel, I loved you.
My whole heart I lost.
With love I was tossed.
The Sugar is now bitter,
Like Bread without butter.
Pepper fritter, it is,
My getting better, a quiz.

UNTOLD STORIES
We all have a story to tell about our journeys and travels and walks, through this constant transformation known as life. When it pertains to love and our inner dreams of finding that one relationship, that takes us to a safe and secure place wrap within the comfort of there arms. Just as much we all come with the scars that go unseen, sometimes they never go away with the heartache and pain. Even along with the process of the hurt and falling tears of sleepless nights, that constantly keep knocking on the walls and doors of our bleeding heart. Yet we won't talk about that part of our battles...

All of No Thing (At All).
All i wish to see
when the blazing chariot
swings low for me,
is a redbird on a branch
of a blue coconut tree.
Death can think me silly.
Death can think me out of style.
Death can think whatever he willy.
Death can die / &No Body'll care why.
So let's let death have it's way.
I won't return with much more
to say.
Dead silent.
No Thing.
( Guaranteed.)

There's A What Coming?
Don’t play by the railway tracks!” he said.
“I won’t, Dad,” she replied.
But she did play by the railway tracks –
SPLAT!
She died.

truth in an uncommon coldness.
wrapped in my pseudo cold weathered best
braced for an uncommon version of chill
true coldness claws and sneers it's snark jest
frozen to bone—
sHiVeRinG
confined to an icy heart's shrill
eyes pried
to open so wide
pure.
vivid.
clear.
crystallized in sheer force
yet, with a tender-like care
s l o w l y....
beasts of burden gentle their snarling howls
the wind crawls to abscond
and all the while,
...spiked frost adorns
her cold
in exquisite glacial forlorn...

Just Morning
Tousled hair, reflection's unkempt wisps;
January's sale, strewn underwear
disheveled. like Tracy Emin's bed.
Regretted turnstile, of your nights
lay alone with just your thoughts
and so much pleasure tinged with guilt.
Conceited stains, mark the grubby quilt.
Each lover they set sail
left you crying, unrepaired.
Tempus fugit as they fled
ignored the gift that you'd prepared.
Lays the empty tanning tube
the razor blunt, that shaved your pubes.
A gift that togetherness achieved. ...

Death, you flirtatious whore
you promised to stifle desire, to extinguish the fire
through the impending ending
that only you can inspire
and yet you leave me alive
still dying inside
alone, never known,
on the living room floor
.....just wanting more....
Death, you fucking whore

Now discarded like a stillborn
thrown into a manger

CAN'T TAKE THIS ANYMORE
Where are you the one I seek when I am alone in the deepness of the night, amongst the darkness that surrounds me as it creeps from within the depth of the night. Where are you the one I search for in the crowd of the many nameless faces, that I pass silently on the street as I stare into the depth of there eyes to see. If that's you or not or just an mirage of my mind playing tricks with my eyes. Where are you the one I reach for when my heart is filled with so much hurt and pain, with unspeakable complications penetrating through the subliminal messages. That screams within the mere...

it
it has caught me, ripping me apart
somehow I knew from the start
and still, I went forward
hoping I could change a heart
I was stubborn going ahead
imagining I can better the bad
yet I've lost my head
in the devious process instead
I followed my ethics every day
thinking it was the right way
but it has caught me today
and I'm afraid I won't get away
what a shame, what a shame
my days are all the same
every one of them so lame
goes by as they came
I'm a prisoner of my own mind ...
