Cervical Uncarthroses
I feel my body trampled,
like after a beating...
crawling on the ceiling!
The concrete sound of an insect
takes up the ear's time.
Blurred vision, and silly version,
of all components of a drug.
Unwanted cramps.
Tight muscle!
Tendons, tensions, tendons.
The cold air makes my neck hurt.
It's really, really, really cruel.

The burden we bear
Lifeless, unborn child of death,
Suffering is in your blood,
Pain is your middle name.
Torturing everything and anything,
Scaring scars and wounds of lust and longing.
It can’t leave you alone, a new day is dawning.
Troubled and anxious, you walk your path,
A road never build, a way out, maybe not.
Endless are the days, like the nights you forgot.
There is no light, there resides no remorse in you,
Your hart, black as tar, a portal to hell.
You pull everyone in, lost, broken, a final farewell.
Lifeless,...
Suffering is in your blood,
Pain is your middle name.
Torturing everything and anything,
Scaring scars and wounds of lust and longing.
It can’t leave you alone, a new day is dawning.
Troubled and anxious, you walk your path,
A road never build, a way out, maybe not.
Endless are the days, like the nights you forgot.
There is no light, there resides no remorse in you,
Your hart, black as tar, a portal to hell.
You pull everyone in, lost, broken, a final farewell.
Lifeless,...

Wounds at Agincourt
The scars I bear
beneath my sleeves
bespeak of wounds inflicted
on my flesh
so long ago
on Crispin's Day
at Agincourt
within that battle’s fray.
And yet I’ve felt
no pain from them
in all the years since then
despite how deep
those slicings were.
For what they did,
as Harry said they would,
was Gentle me.
beneath my sleeves
bespeak of wounds inflicted
on my flesh
so long ago
on Crispin's Day
at Agincourt
within that battle’s fray.
And yet I’ve felt
no pain from them
in all the years since then
despite how deep
those slicings were.
For what they did,

The Power of Polarity
and the secrets of sequestering}
on the fringe
bordering the outskirts
far from normalcy,
is where i take harbor
sequestering myself away
shielded from prying eyes
stabbing lies,
prayers unanswered
and far too many scars
than wishes on stars
a permanent hermit
a fixture
a piece of furniture
a storied fable
a tale half told
your incandescence
envelopes my shivering hurt
long held in tears
escape down my cheeks ...
on the fringe

The melting of the polar ice caps
A non-poem poem
to avoid this theme.
A poem by whom
to say what went wrong!
The worms drag your poems
by the wet soil of crude oil.
Such a short poem...
To say who bent you.
A dead seal does not see
the bear killed by cruel starvation.
The sperm whale lost the sensation
of the giant squid's embrace.
A poem you had taken,
to confirm the error!
A migrant under the sea
does not see the land where he will rest.
A migrant under the sea
does not see the land he has...

a quiet little war
the white knight's
horse has suffered
a broken leg
there is tarnish on
the silver lining
of the clouds
that light at the end
of the tunnel?
forget it,
man
that light extinguished
itself generations
ago
dead on your
feet
feet of clay
defeated
there is the smell
of murder in the
air
blood in our
coffee
bullets in the words
of our
leaders
feeding poverty,
but not the
poor
Paris has...

Eternal Return
you who are adorned
why have you chosen me
so many years have passed
since I was set spinning in wild circles
dancing like a dervish on beaches
with beacon fires
I always dreamed that I would learn to fly
at that old mountain house set aloft
upon pine and spruce
but only now have I really seen the
vulture perched on rafters, holding the eel in its talon
do you see back into these tired eyes
with so much salt, tossed from
too many waves
beaten upon rocky shores
I have memorized the tired lines of your face
they...

Your Pain is My Pain (with Reading)
I'm your Confidant
Friends in need
Make no mistake
Bonnie and Clyde
Rifle loaded
Loving on edge
Faithful destruction
Your life is my life
Your pain is my pain
I am killing you
Do you like it?
Do you want more?
Is it fun for you?
We can do anything
You never asked why
They will find us
This is not a game
Death on the heels
It won't be easy
We need one another
Bound by suffering
I know what will happen
We don't see...
Friends in need

THE DEVILS PLAYGROUND
My life is a carousel of nightmares.
This world is the devil's playground.
And he is the God of this world.
He sometimes has control over my thoughts
Bringing in depression and thoughts of suicide.
Ready to take my final ride to the afterlife.
Not serving much of an earthly purpose.
I've always had a self destructive attitude in life.
For years everything seems to be going as foreseen.
Then, Bamm.
In an instant It's turned into shit.
Yes, i have fucked up.
Possibly lost 2 jobs within minutes of each other.
I fucked up...

Generational Trauma
Past trauma does not excuse you from accountability for what you choose to do to someone else. You choose to harm others in many different ways, like you also choose not to apologize for the same harm you've caused. Trauma does not exempt you from choosing to be a shitty person. You could have chosen to resolve or cope with those traumas in a healthy way by seeking professional help through therapy and behavioral therapy. To be properly diagnosed and medicated. But if you chose to continue the same behavior and choices to harm those who you would never think twice about or realize the harm...
