The draining of the Day
My soul is drained of all hope and light.
A dark void lurks and keeps me company.
Creeping in the cracks I showed over time,
It is trying to take me over completely.
Darker and grimmer my days become,
Slowly and surely killing the joy I once had.
Sadness, pain, my mind has reached its limit,
The constant chatter and noise drives me mad.
I’ve shown my weakness to it, it knows where to hurt,
He has shown me the way out, I know where to go.
The way is clear and my intentions are justified.
Now It’s only, when and how will I...
A dark void lurks and keeps me company.
Creeping in the cracks I showed over time,
It is trying to take me over completely.
Darker and grimmer my days become,
Slowly and surely killing the joy I once had.
Sadness, pain, my mind has reached its limit,
The constant chatter and noise drives me mad.
I’ve shown my weakness to it, it knows where to hurt,
He has shown me the way out, I know where to go.
The way is clear and my intentions are justified.

mind maze
my mind is like a maze.
one second you’re headed down the right path but then bam there’s a wall.
why is this one so hard to escape.
i’m getting claustrophobic.
my hands are shaking
my palms are sweaty
i can feel my heart about to jump out of my chest
i’m scared
now i’m so worked up i can’t tell if my breath is the same as before
i get nervous soon starting to cry
what’s happening
why am i so scared right now
i’ve been doing good it’s been months
my mind starts speaking
not speaking.
screaming.

Blues in the Key of Covid
For three years now
I have avoided crowds,
Socially distancing
Cautiously masking
I have learned the names
Of Covid viral thugs
Longed for the vaccine
Which finally came like Jesus
Apologizing for the delay.
The 2d shot pierced
My old withered arm
And the only thing I felt was
Relief, quiet joy, as if I had been stalked
For a year by something darkly
Smiling a gnarly grin.
And then the graves opened
And Delta erupted
Like a trope from ...

Lover
~ Written on the 18th of February 2018 ~~
@'~'- ⋆⁺₊⋆ ☀︎ ⋆⁺₊⋆
In this cold and starry night
On my bed I lay alone
In my head I'm asking why
do I miss you to the bones?
Once you said, don't waste your life
waiting for me there...
But that's me, for you I'd dive
into depths unknown, I'd dare!
But the night I said is cold,
as the wind blows some sorrow,
tells me, you're too bold,
he may leave tomorrow...
And the wind is right
Why my burning fire ...

Echoes of a Ghosted Heart
My love, my heart, my missing part,
Vanished in a moment, with a heavy heart.
Months have passed, and still I pray,
For your safe return, to light my way.
Your laughter echoes, like a soothing song,
Of happier times, where I belong.
But now I wander, in a world so bare,
Wondering where you may have gone, so rare.
I ache for your touch, for your gentle kiss,
For the love we shared, in perfect bliss.
But now I'm lost, in a sea of pain,
Wishing for your return, again and again.
So I hold tight, to the dreams we made, ...
Vanished in a moment, with a heavy heart.
Months have passed, and still I pray,
For your safe return, to light my way.
Your laughter echoes, like a soothing song,
Of happier times, where I belong.
But now I wander, in a world so bare,
Wondering where you may have gone, so rare.
I ache for your touch, for your gentle kiss,
For the love we shared, in perfect bliss.
But now I'm lost, in a sea of pain,
Wishing for your return, again and again.
So I hold tight, to the dreams we made, ...

Smoldering
So much in a name
Too much to save the soul
It's so hard to see sometimes
The difference in someone's demons
And their ghosts
All I am within me
Burns for what choices you forced onto me
Did you ever really love me
Or just teach me loss
Is the only true freedom?
I can see the faith
Still smoldering in your eyes
But as many times
As we say hello
There can only be
One last goodbye
Wishing well
Short one penny
Brief reflections and recollections
Are all that's left of you
...
Too much to save the soul
It's so hard to see sometimes
The difference in someone's demons
And their ghosts
All I am within me
Burns for what choices you forced onto me
Did you ever really love me
Or just teach me loss
Is the only true freedom?
I can see the faith
Still smoldering in your eyes
But as many times
As we say hello
There can only be
One last goodbye
Wishing well
Short one penny
Brief reflections and recollections
Are all that's left of you

Sometimes I Feel Like Screaming.
Among a dull, low-pitched, hypnotizing hum
of stainless steel washers and dryers,
standing like soldiers in formation;
among worn tables of fresh towels,
below a sign for laundry room rules,
he sits in his usual dull spot by the window
and waits.
He sneaks looks at the young frumpy women;
sneaks looks at his wristwatch,
and knows a worker has replaced two plants
on top of the washing machines
next to him.
Rain is starting to come down outside
on his hometown's empty streets.
It's late, ...
of stainless steel washers and dryers,
standing like soldiers in formation;
among worn tables of fresh towels,

he sits in his usual dull spot by the window
and waits.
He sneaks looks at the young frumpy women;
sneaks looks at his wristwatch,
and knows a worker has replaced two plants
on top of the washing machines

Rain is starting to come down outside
on his hometown's empty streets.

A Silent Bell
Should the light
Ever leave my eyes
Then
It will be time
For my final sleep
As my mind
Will think no more
Than that
Of an empty shell
And an empty shell
Would be
Like a silent bell
And lost time
Without a chime

A mile to go
with smog
hovering among crevices
of a sleepy city
the sun rose from slumber
heedful of rain on the way
soon, as diffusing puddles
carpeted streets
birds in flocks
flew
windshields clattered
and a lonely reveler
from the night before
braving every soggy step
could only contemplate
the last call,
the last beer,
and the girl who left
with someone else
with an empty heart,
no umbrella,
and a mile to go
the sky
in its wisdom ...

Bankrupt
Standing with the power over
As if irritation would emote to cover
I cannot hold myself above
I feel my stomach sink in love
I hate that I can't save anything
My heart beats in terminal spring
Leave myself behind my mind
I never know what you'll find
I'm falling out of work
My mind is hurting torque
I don't want to force my hand
But I don't know if I can
I feel blind in my mind forever
Eyes of black hide to tether
Passing fate and life unjust
Nothing I write clears the lust
I'm falling further into...
As if irritation would emote to cover

Ode To A Night-in-gale
'This is a true old story''
My heart aches as the storm rages
Outside darkness, swallows my pages
Little for me is left for words of morrow
Tonight is gone,peering a morning sorrow
A bird in storm trembling,wet to the bone
Perching on a branch of an old bare tree
The night is dark and the gale loosing free
A night bird the steets hear his moan
While all inside their home is busy asleep
One bird in the thundering gale
Shakes from cold and from wind
Just one bird facing a fateful storm
I saw...
My heart aches as the storm rages
Outside darkness, swallows my pages
Little for me is left for words of morrow
Tonight is gone,peering a morning sorrow
A bird in storm trembling,wet to the bone
Perching on a branch of an old bare tree
The night is dark and the gale loosing free
A night bird the steets hear his moan
While all inside their home is busy asleep
One bird in the thundering gale
Shakes from cold and from wind
Just one bird facing a fateful storm
I saw...
