looking for your scent
I spend time
looking for you
trying to find out
where are you
where are all the wires
your feet-thoughts
your mouth-regret
where are you?
where is the ecstasy?
that you knew how to achieve
that you knew how to hide
that you knew you didn't know
time passes
glued to your feet
penances
quiet on your lips
flames
I waste my time
lurking for you
where will you be
when I'm not
looking for you?
looking for you
trying to find out
where are you
where are all the wires
your feet-thoughts
your mouth-regret
where are you?
where is the ecstasy?
that you knew how to achieve
that you knew how to hide
that you knew you didn't know
time passes
glued to your feet
penances
quiet on your lips
flames
I waste my time
lurking for you
where will you be
when I'm not
looking for you?

deplnt
tears falling through blood shot eyes,
wish all could go counterclockwise.
answer back to the echo of my wails,
before you know it i'll be nothing but tales.
so don't leave me rotting as im in pain,
don't test my patience when i say im insane.
begged you to trust the love we built,
coaxing you through nothing but guilt.
so here we are again, quiet whispers of i love you's,
purely empty words filled with nothing but excuse.
wish all could go counterclockwise.

coaxing you through nothing but guilt.

A Dummy and his Man
A man and his dummy
(Wayland and madame)
Ran into a ventriloquist
Wanted to get both sides
Man and his puppet
But he said I had to decide
Who I wanted to talk to
I thought they were…one and the same
But he had two sides
The side of a dummy
And his true life
Didn’t think I would have to make a choice
But it’s clear to see
That the man and his dummy
Are two separate beings
They’re two separate beings
Just two separate beings
The man puts him on the shelf
And then the...

we work in secret undercover
Waiting in the shadows
Double agent breaking codes
Captive of your beauty
Air thick, humid and smoldering

switch
infidelity of my heart talking
I won't silence my soul
you seduced me with your attitude
but then you hid
I could see you
it took a while to pick up on your movements
In Between the lines
you were being wicked
sarcastic poetry I took personally
then you said you loved me
you left me wondering why
I'm curious I was blind to you
the first few years
romance my verses if you want
forbidden love maybe
but I think you like things the way they are
or perhaps you're onto the next one
I prefer people...

Four Walls Surround Me
My house has secrets
Tortured thoughts always remind
I've tried to escape
Tortured thoughts always remind
I've tried to escape

Something's inside
You wish you were asleep.
You wish you weren't alive.
You wish so many things but you haven't opened your eyes.
You aren't real on the ground.
Just look at that beast in the mirror.
Don't you wish you could be free?
It couldn't be any clearer.
Sounds around you.
Are you scared?
Shrieks and screams ring.
Flesh and clothes flee.
Ripped from their homes.
Shhh...
You're safer alone you think.
But soon you realize.
That subtle note sings every time in bed you lie.
Bloodshots reappearing old...
You wish you weren't alive.
You wish so many things but you haven't opened your eyes.
You aren't real on the ground.
Just look at that beast in the mirror.
Don't you wish you could be free?
It couldn't be any clearer.

married life
God isn't who you all think he is
or at least he's not like I thought
I'm having issues with my man
I ask God to help and he brings this harlot
practically on a plate
I ask God why he would do that to me
he said I don't understand how a man is made
he says he loves you and I should look the other way
I cheated on my husband once
and God threw the guilt at me
I said why is it okay for him?
he says do you want me to get him over his cheating
I said no I just wanted him to stop but my father said he won't
it's free...

Ashes
You’ll find my ashes suffocated there,
under the rug, where you swept
everything, leaving dusty truths
hidden beneath.
I’ll always sense those ashes, lingering
in the darkness, lost in hallucinations,
while you dismiss yourself,
indifferent to the mess I'm left to clean.

hidden tomes
drawing breath from a sigh
gentleness please release the still-life charcoal you dance to
quietly expressing your need
whispers turned inward is your expression
creating honest landscapes of grief
your sorrow the sunshine your sunflowers sing to
tiny lilting faith will you face the day in honest approval of yourself
an injured ego and shattered child
broken splinters your expression that failed to talk
in the dark of the shade, I catch you in a glimpse
walking the balance between reality and memory

Oh, star – brightest star –
Oh, star – brightest star –
That's first in the sky –
I don't need advice;
I just need an ear.
Nobody else must know
But I feel terrible.
You seem quite capable
Of fighting evil's blow.
Shine for my heart –
Let your fire burn my strife
With resilience tonight;
Shine on with luster.
The sight of you is crisp –
Your wisdom is your silence;
I lay this up to heaven
And trust it upon your lips.
That's first in the sky –
I don't need advice;
I just need an ear.
Nobody else must know
But I feel terrible.
You seem quite capable
Of fighting evil's blow.
Shine for my heart –
Let your fire burn my strife
With resilience tonight;
Shine on with luster.
The sight of you is crisp –
Your wisdom is your silence;
I lay this up to heaven
And trust it upon your lips.

An inhospitable truth I have
An inhospitable truth I have
To carry throughout my life
That must stay buried in my heart –
What a terrible truth!
It dances on my tongue
When I feel somebody knows.
On the scale of history – it nags;
On a bone – it gnaws.
It’s the shadow that follows
My genetic path incurably.
It will follow me into death
And be the Ghost beside me.
To carry throughout my life
That must stay buried in my heart –
What a terrible truth!
It dances on my tongue
When I feel somebody knows.
On the scale of history – it nags;
On a bone – it gnaws.
It’s the shadow that follows
My genetic path incurably.
It will follow me into death
And be the Ghost beside me.
