God Doesn't Take The Bones
Of course Lele would do her suicide cleanly
that was the German in her taking over
Not the Irish' destruction; Break as much
as possible and get blood on everything
They'll remember that!
No, she took a tiny army of little pills
and swallowed them as she walked out
on the rainiest day, across the wow-
greenest field she'd ever seen
She took a nap, smiling as she fell asleep
waiting for God to do that god-thing
Where the ugly clouds part and a soft golden hand
lowers from a white cloud-door,
and gently scoops her up by her...

dust
swirls,
their specks
reflectively float
glistening amidst
morning sunshine
just like that day
before
these hands
joint-ached
wrists and knees, too
signs of an inevitable

of fall
fastly approaching

when certain aches

steeped of a particular pain

This girl I met at the
tavern today told
me she’s trying
to get out of
LA,
but she didn’t want to
move out of California
I asked her why she
wanted to get out
of LA and she said,
she made money working
here, but didn’t want to
do that anymore
I asked her what she
did and she said, I
make pornos, but
not for any of the
big companies
I said, no shit?
then I told my friend, hey,
she’s from the bay area
and they started talking
about how...

Apologies
What if I told you that I'm truly sorry Lady
That I really love you Lady
I know that you've heard this all before baby
But could you please forgive me once more, maybe
What if I promised not to ever do it, not to ever make you cry again
I know now that I should had felt your pain
For whatever reason sometimes life isn't properly prioritize
The most important things end up on the bottom of the list, and you don't realize
But this time I know things can't remain the same
I know that I have to change, my list has to be...
That I really love you Lady
I know that you've heard this all before baby
But could you please forgive me once more, maybe
What if I promised not to ever do it, not to ever make you cry again
I know now that I should had felt your pain
For whatever reason sometimes life isn't properly prioritize
The most important things end up on the bottom of the list, and you don't realize
But this time I know things can't remain the same
I know that I have to change, my list has to be...

Mistaken Slacker
Have you ever fucked up, I mean really fucked up
So fucking bad you don't know how you fucked up
Lately it seems simply awaking and my life has ran amuck
Once I was totally in the groove, but now my needle is stuck
I'm surprised at my contiuous ability to piss her off
Hell we had sex, we went to sleep, I went to work and all was lost
I worked two hours over and when I got home the stove was cold
She's on two computers and the cellphone with a bitch on hold
She raises a finger in the air letting me know to get in line
She gave her finger...
So fucking bad you don't know how you fucked up
Lately it seems simply awaking and my life has ran amuck
Once I was totally in the groove, but now my needle is stuck
I'm surprised at my contiuous ability to piss her off
Hell we had sex, we went to sleep, I went to work and all was lost
I worked two hours over and when I got home the stove was cold
She's on two computers and the cellphone with a bitch on hold
She raises a finger in the air letting me know to get in line

Premonition's Wake
The visions rip below the gleam
of twilight tinted eyes.
Their memoirs gleaned from realms of dream
where knowledge mortifies.
An inky murk of ages old
invades your reeling mind,
bereft the glow Aurora holds
and nature redefined.
Remembrance dons an aftershock
that shivers down the spine.
A backwards spiral ‘pon the clock
as echoes redesign.
A semblance wrought in ebon hue,
defies the flesh of man,
like angels made a rendezvous
with creatures of the damned.

Their memoirs gleaned from realms of dream

bereft the glow Aurora holds
and nature redefined.
Remembrance dons an aftershock

A backwards spiral ‘pon the clock
as echoes redesign.

When Love Hurts
How many apologies have I spoken
And if you doubt my reluctance after I fall
My words lose their weight in meaning
Will you doubt them all?
Despite how many times
Repentance speaks whole hearted intent
With halfhearted efforts to see it through
Please believe me
Even if you don’t when I say I'm sorry
Believe me when I say I love you
And I'm still learning to
How long before I fail
When the countdown finds me fated
As if to repeat the same mistake
And erasers find my past is still the residue
The debris in...
And if you doubt my reluctance after I fall

Despite how many times
Repentance speaks whole hearted intent
With halfhearted efforts to see it through
Please believe me
Even if you don’t when I say I'm sorry
Believe me when I say I love you
And I'm still learning to
How long before I fail
When the countdown finds me fated
As if to repeat the same mistake
And erasers find my past is still the residue

Raised In The Dark
Caught between dimensions of loss and love
Born the offspring of former affections
Walking dead inside my memory
Buried in the aftermath of what never was about me
No less a casualty, the innocence that I once knew
Though in truth I bear the burden of my own corruption
And I'm unjust to blame my sins on you
Nevertheless the culture speaks and I instigate the defects of identity
When I'm still learning to bear the weight of it, predator and prey
This wicked way that resides in me
Infiltrating the spoils of our broken homes ...
Born the offspring of former affections
Walking dead inside my memory
Buried in the aftermath of what never was about me
No less a casualty, the innocence that I once knew
Though in truth I bear the burden of my own corruption
And I'm unjust to blame my sins on you
Nevertheless the culture speaks and I instigate the defects of identity
When I'm still learning to bear the weight of it, predator and prey
This wicked way that resides in me
Infiltrating the spoils of our broken homes ...

Heals
I used to hate walking in heels,
but the pain of a 6 inch spike pertruding from my heel in comparison too a 6 inch blade to the heart makes it more appealing.
I can walk in pain,
but fall in broken..
Tripping over my own two feet is a talent I hold dear to my sanity,
he was clumsy with his hands,
I was eager with my perceptions...
I was lost in his eyes,
they clouded the deceptions.
I have curves but not enough to render him honest,
enough to fill his hands,
but not too keep his eye.
I was...

Love Stumble
You handed me the knife
I died upon partaking
Every word is severed
When integrity is faking
Learning to believe in me
Cultivating the public display
Behind closed doors I'm slumbering
Alive and yet still wishing life away
Circumstantial dictatorship
Values best preserved
When everything is ideal
Lock me up behind the obstacle
Until who I am is real
Transmitting diseases
You drew your scars on me
Skin cancer contagious
Moral degradation by way of company
Pride swells overlapping ...

Cold Hearted If You Have One
Up against your loaded eyes
You speak in a language of silence
As your bitterness is coming through
Offenses derived of inadequacy
As if I should live subject to the approval of you
Mutual insecurity contrived of lacking
Compensating
Take to the stage of our social role play
Scripted after policy puppetry
From corporate marionettes
Is this a dance or a war?
Finding harmony in the dissonance of a common ground enemy
Skip the pleasantries and lay it out
Abusing need to manipulate
Advantages taken
You are a...
