Sleep and Death
It is the morning and I am up.
It has been weeks,
It has been months.
I feel tired and exhausted but my calmness is fading.
I don't think you quite understand,
What exactly I am debating.
Between violence or death oh which do I chose?
Between now and the spring,
I can not promise you which to do.
I have been searching and looking for rest, for sleep.
Everything coming to a halt
Maybe I am overreacting.
But I do not think I am and am rather quite pleased,
With both of the options,
Oh...

Chapter 1: Gemini
Why do they refer to me as the Gemini? Who had recurring dreams of a voice singing?
I woke up confused the shattered remnants of a nightmare inside my head remained. Slowly but steadily I begin to account the content of my recurring dream.
I used to dream of a beautiful voice singing with this letter below;
Dear Gemini,
Let me know when you tap Interpol.. I got them a job..
Hi! Mrs. Angelo.. how's downtown on the harbor?.. I had my revenge..
One day at night deep in my...

One Night At A Time
I have many demons
And they love to make themselves known
Particularly at night
When I’m so desperate for sleep
My will to keep them at bay wavers
Too tired to fight back
So I let them in
They grab and pin me down
Make me think of terrible things
Make me feel worthless and a burden
It’s taken many years to stop listening
To stop cutting myself just because they tell me to
It doesn’t get any easier
But I know the guilt would be stronger
So I resist
As much as I desperately want to fall back into my old ways ...
And they love to make themselves known
Particularly at night
When I’m so desperate for sleep
My will to keep them at bay wavers
Too tired to fight back
So I let them in
They grab and pin me down
Make me think of terrible things
Make me feel worthless and a burden
It’s taken many years to stop listening
To stop cutting myself just because they tell me to
It doesn’t get any easier
But I know the guilt would be stronger
So I resist
As much as I desperately want to fall back into my old ways ...

i need to
feed too
but what, i have no clue
i'm a dumb puddle of goo
crispy fried break through
maybe only a few care, true
my hope anew,
legs askew
i jump in leiu
of moo
and go to the zoo
thank you

FLEETING
I gave her
my recipe for sleep
so perhaps we'll dream together
it's not something
I'll remember
though isn't that just life

Quarter til 5
Morning breaks through the cracks of the shades, filtered and blurry
light pouring in from the gap between the curtains. I’ve been awake far before
the dawn stretched it’s sleepy arms over my window; the low morning light
reminding me I can’t stay hidden under the fleeting twilight cover. I miss the peace,
though.

free- fall fantasia, 'this love' in forever refrain
a see-through glassy slurry
..what this body’s succulence
of a cacti’s plumping crosssection
holds still.. in its gluey~ glowing
messy mass of a quagmiry
translucence..
this love
in an emotional stir
of a catalytic emulsion
grind... in the drizzly
irrigational mists.. each
micronizing sprinkle
holds a swelling oilwell
of a dusky musk ambergris
in its flotilla bloaty rubric
façade .. a cupric bluish
highlight rouge~ of a
peacocking iridescence

Nightshade
I'm twirling, tracing, along the veil, watercolours that drip and trail, is this world just paint by number, are we awake or do we still slumber?
I don't know why you make me feel so high, I don't know why you make me fly inside, oh I'm flying inside. I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why, don't know why, must be something in the moon, tonight.
At the precipice of everything, nothing's ever quite what it seems, if I jump will I reach the bottom, or will I cut out, just forgotten.
I don't know why you make me feel so high, I don't know why you make...
I don't know why you make me feel so high, I don't know why you make me fly inside, oh I'm flying inside. I don't know why, don't know why, I don't know why, don't know why, must be something in the moon, tonight.
At the precipice of everything, nothing's ever quite what it seems, if I jump will I reach the bottom, or will I cut out, just forgotten.

I See Her in Dreams
I see her in dreams every night,
With heavenly angelic eyes
Covered in beauty and delight
Like the most glorious sunrise,
And I bask in this solemn rite
That only a dream can comprise.
Captivated by a bright smile,
I cannot help but fall in love,
For the splendor lasts a while
As if it’s been sent from above,
Her appearance is so tactile
It’s surely what dreams are made of.
I long to sleep just for the chance
To behold this sheer fantasy
In her attraction there’s a trance
More profound than an endless sea, ...
With heavenly angelic eyes
Covered in beauty and delight
Like the most glorious sunrise,
And I bask in this solemn rite
That only a dream can comprise.
Captivated by a bright smile,
I cannot help but fall in love,
For the splendor lasts a while
As if it’s been sent from above,
Her appearance is so tactile
It’s surely what dreams are made of.
I long to sleep just for the chance
To behold this sheer fantasy
In her attraction there’s a trance
More profound than an endless sea, ...

Counting Fish
Some people count sheep
When they're awake in their bed
I count fish instead
When they're awake in their bed
I count fish instead
