Square One
We rode around in my F-150
back when things were nifty
Your love was my spiritual anointing
now it is totally disappointing
My hopes for us were high
now i walk around and sigh
With you I feel so alone
no more conservations telephone
Together we could have had fun
now I'm just back to square one
Together we could have had fun
now I'm just back to square one
Before I use to pick up my guitar
and dream about being a star
my nights are now in a bar
wondering how I fell so far ...

A Metamorphosis of Dichotomy
Pounding on our chests
Screaming patriotism
Our country shouldn't be
Reflecting other prisms
Checks and balances
And the rule of law
Why are you acting
Like you're so appalled
Ignoring the courts
Defying subpoenas
Dancing around the truth
Like a ballerina
Free speech censored
As long as I have mine
We're taking back our country
It's about damn time
Constant fake news
Spreading misinformation...

Closing Down Shutting Off
Through this message I speak with truth, about the deepness of the damages, that has been inflicted on so many broken hearts 💔 Filled with love and happiness once before, yet it was suppose to be honest and truth and trust. For sure we can sit alone and cry silent whispers of tears that still doesn't change how we feel behind the mask as a disguise, for sometimes we have to learn to understand, most things aren't meant to be. FOR sure some people's, are just creatures of habits. 🤨 For sure it's necessary to understand, that what we thought we had was never ours in the...

winding
Walking down that long road
I'm going nowhere
In such a hurry to end up empty
The unfulfilled path
lonely and winding
always winds up where you are
In my solemn seek
for things I can't have
interpreting silence for meaning
headed out on the next dark train
Riding is the best
until the destination fails to amuse
cry tears of grief for the voided journey
You could have taken
Relax at the rest stops
and talk to whom you're supposed to meet
On the road of discovery
I'm going nowhere
In such a hurry to end up empty
The unfulfilled path
lonely and winding
always winds up where you are
In my solemn seek
for things I can't have
interpreting silence for meaning
headed out on the next dark train
Riding is the best
until the destination fails to amuse
cry tears of grief for the voided journey
You could have taken
Relax at the rest stops
and talk to whom you're supposed to meet
On the road of discovery

The Aches Of Carrying The Dead
my wrist shakes
carpal tunnel
from that time the post in the back yard
broke it and my father beat the shit
out of me
for crying because men don’t cry
and hospital was days away
from the heavy bag
honing knock out shots
throwing with the fury of an arrow riddle berserker
as if my last deeds in life will be echoed
through the ages of wrist-spraining-shots into dented leather
I’ve been taught so often how little
I matter unless I’m doing
so I bury it using an excavator
my tears now
just...

yeah...of course
he has
started living
without me,
he has
started mingling
with others,
he has
started distancing
himself from me,
he has
started
losing me,
in whose presence
my heart
used to cry with
happiness,
and in whose absence
my eyes
used to cry with
pain...

dwindle
disasterous fiction I am enough
When I know I'm not
so very imperfect
Impulsive, my body betrays
leaves me dwindling in the wind of disappointment
hanging from despair
My weak soul chooses what is unwise
oscillating between one feeling and another
dying a moment at a time
Failure, I can't count on myself
Beholden to mercy, I cringe
darkest desires realized
They come at a price
With not enough penance to cleanse
Bloody redemption isn't for me
Bitterly, I realize my soul wasn't included ...

shadow soul
In your depths, I am a shadow soul
licking at a flame I can't fathom
Fate is cruel and did not allow
My passion quelled out of necessity
Provocation denied and repressed
You graze my sexual soul
provoking my lust
building it until bare, I squirm
My confession, I am bound
my secret is I've never been free
it is for other Mistresses of Midnight to amaze
commanding a room, Dominate
My need puts me at odds within
At best, I am awkwardly attractive
arousing passions with my magic
...

Only then we will have peace
As I sit 🪑 here behind these four walls 🧱 and stare out the window 🪟 of my sanctuary, just as the night skies slowly shift, before the break of a morning dawn, comes over the horizon, I wonder will today, will I have peace. 🤔 For sure now it's more of an statement, then a question ❓ concerning what changes have taken place within the world 🌎 For sure it's getting, to the point that now, it has become a guessing game, of what now 😞 For it's getting to be unbearable, with each day that goes by for sure it's literally has become a war zone...

Made just made for two
They say that what's in the darkness eventually, it's seen through the lights of day, for sure it holds true when things, in a relationship starts to feel different with no emotions or love 🤨 For the deepness of what love was, it wasn't no more, than empty moments of what is gone between two people once in love. But yet it's here and in full bloom, that it's over when the heart becomes, heavier and uncomfortable with inner pain that goes deeper than deep. Yet it was built on love and honor and respect, but even that slowly disappeared into, the deepness of the darkness. Replace by...
