Heart Flame
Sing yourself to me
deeper than before
first
and
final
breath
From silent blood moons
I swam adrift your waters
Mine heart glistening
in your presence
from where we existed
yet not
bereft of all salt
sea no longer weeps
your name
skies no longer
shape
that vastness
immense
sequence
Fold
your eyes
close(d)
away
deeper than before
first
and
final
breath
From silent blood moons
I swam adrift your waters
Mine heart glistening
in your presence
from where we existed
yet not
bereft of all salt
sea no longer weeps
your name
skies no longer
shape
that vastness
immense
sequence
Fold
your eyes
close(d)
away

Casting Shadows
There is no light
My shadow no longer follows
I feel it leading
I feel it breathing
I watch it leaving
It does not reflect me
Any longer
And i may simply turn away
The sky is grey
Potential rain
Shadow soaked
Two cents for emotional tolls
Heavy from the downpour
So much weight on my shoulders
With every step i take
Every step it replicates
Mirrored in the moment
My steps are yeilded, it moves on
So long
Stretching from the setting Sun
As it returns the next day
To...

Silent Nobility, Observed By One Not Worthy
I bend into driving wind
grit stinging the skin
sun long since set
a forray into moonlit streets
where asphalt blends into gravel
the echoes of every footstep
ripped from the ground
and flung skyward into the
dark refrain
I come upon a meadow
where the boughs of eucalyptus trees
creak heavy with age
limb droppers
widow makers
bearing the wisdom of sun scorched
droughts
absorbing every last drop of moisture
they can
striving to survive amidst the harsh reality of natures cruel...

autumn
now it gets dark earlier on
I'd been enjoying the sun ..
I'd been enjoying the sun ..

stagnant potential
there's a shadow hanging over me
and a ledger of all my failures
take a pound of flesh
a piece of my light
fireflies in a jar
dead by sunrise
as they disappear from the atmosphere
everything is dying
or becoming a soulless automaton
the rot is there
I can feel it seeping into my roots
the people that watered and fed me
are fading into the distance
and I have no one to blame but me
I ran from the very things
that were meant to keep me alive
now I'm stuck in a dead end hell
with nothing but...

North Star
People don’t see
They’re dying to diagnose my sanity
But there will never be
A cure for the monster in me
Dormant beneath the surface
Unheard and unseen
But she speaks indelibly
In whispered screams
The path between this beast and me
Is steep, offbeat
And we walk together since
Shadows never leave
They’re dying to diagnose my sanity
But there will never be
A cure for the monster in me
Dormant beneath the surface
Unheard and unseen
But she speaks indelibly
In whispered screams
The path between this beast and me
Is steep, offbeat
And we walk together since
Shadows never leave

The Holy Hit
The holy hit
The dark gloomy street
Ignited memories bittersweet
My heart skipped a beat
As a stranger popped out
From the backseat
Hello dear do not fear
Greetings from your pal
of yesteryear, travelled a
Light year to present you
The treasured elixir
Scorn your sorrow
There’s no tomorrow
Drop your wit
the evil writ
The so-called sanctioned shit
Into the infinite pit
For it’s time to take
The Holy Hit .
The dark gloomy street
Ignited memories bittersweet
My heart skipped a beat
As a stranger popped out
From the backseat
Hello dear do not fear
Greetings from your pal
of yesteryear, travelled a

Scorn your sorrow
There’s no tomorrow
Drop your wit

i See You in the Mirror
a step behind
your essence always a fleeting spark in my wake
but tonight i turned
and i encountered you there
a flutter across my existance
leaving ripples of grand design
but your ripples no longer disorient me
I see all your stinking sign
so sip your glass cautiously
it's rimmed with the fruit of your own vine
will death be merciful, or riddled with pain born of shame
the choice is yours
for mine has been made
no anger, no malice,only gratitude
I HAVE NO SHAME!
I am just me and...

The Other Side
I’m trapped here
Between heaven and hell
Here in the darkness
Only evil and the righteous dwell
I follow foot prints
As i walk along the shore
In search of my final destiny
Left by the one that carried me before
I see all that once was
The true colors of a loved ones soul
The emptiness is a endless hell
When you have everything to feel and nothing to hold
I’m a spirit with the power to fly
Unlike a ghost that’s no longer alive
I stay here in the shadows wherever you are
Protecting you from the...

The Night ~
Inside,
Hollow, but one,
One thing,
A lie kept untold,
It keeps,
The cripple of,
Silent tears.
Inside,
The shadows of,
Corner walls,
Subtle at the,
Edge of sleep,
Whispering clouds,
Above...
Waiting.
The eyes,
Hazy with mist,
Staring,
At hands with,
Cold palms.
Nervous,
Lonely alone,
Frozen to stone.
The night…
And I,
Couldn’t see that time,
Had gone...
Cunning...
Hollow, but one,

Soot(hing) pool
Contractions ago
Moon birthed
her reflection
I carried her womb
towards birth
Escaping
each
nine veiled
truth
washing lies
as tears
hung
to dry
thorned
silence
Attains
Atuned
Until
your
heart
incarnates
again
Moon birthed

I carried her womb

Escaping
each
