Understanding what a great happiness it is to be able to take the self on a spiritual path which includes
pharmaceutical blockers of testosterone
(goddess worship)
–the me which I had locked myself into
was a shell–
I kept trying to pierce that bubble. Two
and a half years; deconstructing
my mind; going completely mad
voluntarily; losing it. Doing so because I
knew that on the other side of that, in
conjunction with following a self-
consciously defined "spiritually
transgender path," there lay a different
person.
And I knew that I would have given
everything...

Orange sunshine
Dreams are burning
Hopes on fire
I feel someone's flames
Goals become ashes

Are you fading?
Are you fading away?
Who do you see
When you look into the mirror?
Visions of your ghost
Seem to be getting much clearer
Your light used to shine
And light up the night
But it's going dim
Are you losing the fight?
Don't give in to
The eternal dark
Keep searching
Until you find your lost spark
Who do you see
When you look into the mirror?
Visions of your ghost
Seem to be getting much clearer
Your light used to shine
And light up the night
But it's going dim
Are you losing the fight?
Don't give in to
The eternal dark
Keep searching
Until you find your lost spark

Fallen Angel
I see you in pain.
Crying again and again.
Drowning in sorrow.
Today and every tomorrow.
You fall from grace.
With tears on your face.
Trying so hard to be brave.
For those you wish to save.
But you might not see.
That would include me.
Now I'd like to return what you've done.
Help you feel like you're number one.
It may not be as much as you.
Hopefully my heart is true.
Trying to show you my mettle.
Here are wings and a rose petal.
Crying again and again.
Drowning in sorrow.
Today and every tomorrow.
You fall from grace.
With tears on your face.
Trying so hard to be brave.
For those you wish to save.
But you might not see.
That would include me.
Now I'd like to return what you've done.
Help you feel like you're number one.
It may not be as much as you.
Hopefully my heart is true.
Trying to show you my mettle.
Here are wings and a rose petal.

IF YOU HAVE NO CLUE
Here I am as a woman as I fight back the tears from falling from my eyes, as they fall from the depth and deepness of my heart exposing the mere truth of my hurt and pain. For you promise me that you weren't like all the others men's I had within my life, but yet I've come to realize that it was all nothing more than lies as you broke my heart in two. As you tried to convince me that what you were giving me was love, when in fact it wasn't really love at all just another knot upon your belt. For you never truly understood what it means to love someone unconditionally with honor and respect....

WE BOTH CREEPING
Sometimes in life and through our relationships there will come a time, that we wish hadn't happen but it was something of our own subconscious doing, as it was our decision to make a difference between what is right and what is wrong. For here we are face with a real hard decision whether to stay to together are go our own separate ways, or make it about our relationship as well as our journey through this cycle known as life. For I want to come clean and confess as I know that you want to do the same thing with me, for I know that I haven't been the best that I can be to you as a man, as...

Bereft
He was sitting
By the mews
Reading of her death
The sad news
Totally bereft
And a huge hole
In his heart
It left.

Totally bereft

Oktoberfest
Was the best
But he got so drunk
On the way,
Couldn't even
Make his way out
Of the subway.

peculiar home.
ashes and soot
swirling
throughout the air,
breezes
of burned remnants
whirling
untethered— unbound
floating
around
to finally
find
a
singular
quite specifically
peculiar
home
amidst all the
painful heartache;
bones
that will
surely
rebreak
when love's
cremated
remains....

I love you both so much
Please know, I was not there, for the last two years. I was drowned. And I was not there for the 40 or so years before that. I spent every moment of that time knowing that i wasn't there, and *trying* to be, and daydreaming what it would be like.
it wasn't until the middle of covid, that i came back, but by that time, I'd already broken both of your hearts. I know this. You were both my...

Fearless
Long hair waving in the new wind.
Time changes and it’s a nude beginning.
Bowie, I only worship one king.
All that is left are the songs we are still singing.
Heroes fall under the thunder sounds.
Waterfalls endlessly come crashing down.
Inside my own existence I continually drown.
I can never find the right way out.
Primal heart; bitten Devil man.
Longing for a new wave to send me to a better land,
Where people are free from eternal suffering.
I hold aloft the heart of endless dreaming.
