Patient's Protest
I have a problem.
Let us start with that.
A severe psychiatric disability.
I don’t particularly wish to share too much…
but…
Care in the Community…
I prefer society to hospital,
although of both I do not know
which prefers me least.
If only the tablets and injections…
would, so to speak…
have desired effect…
I’ve tried my own solutions,
treating fire with fire,
balanced trick of alchemy.
But then some years ago and still…
the haloperidol…
straitjacket of psychiatry…
...

The Death of Poets
Is it any wonder how writers,
even so young -
their faces tight and bright with sun,
their eyes agleam -
how yet they still succumb
to emptiness?
Their faucets dripping dry;
an empty sky,
no air; nowhere to run,
no thoughts to dream?
Then, let the bullets fly.
Let blades invade the vital stream.
Let souls depart.
And in ascension seem
to find their heart
even so young -
their faces tight and bright with sun,
their eyes agleam -
how yet they still succumb
to emptiness?
Their faucets dripping dry;
an empty sky,
no air; nowhere to run,
no thoughts to dream?
Then, let the bullets fly.
Let blades invade the vital stream.
Let souls depart.
And in ascension seem
to find their heart

Result of Overdoing The Wine And Orgy
She had to sleep nude
for she got so drunk and joined
in for some group sex.

A Gruesome Affliction
As I experience dehydration
My body faces trauma
this progresses into suffocation
Chronic infection
echoes my demise
out of body experience
reduced to ash, hear my cries

A conversation in my head
So , listen Rob, I really think you and I should have a conversation
Ive been sitting here quiet giving you time but Im starting to lose my patience
You brood and you sulk and pity yourself
And frankly its not good for our health
Youre dragging me down, always depressed
Just being around you is hard to digest
Im craving something more from life than this miserable existence
Everything's crashing down around us and you put up no resistance
Do you think the world just revolves around you?
That what you do doesn't affect me too? ...

On Suffering
Some kinds of suffering will make people mentally stronger
While needless torment can be just a waste of time
Useless afflictions will numb some folks from enjoying life
But misery, that can have a lasting effect on the mind
Certain misfortunes will come our way everyday
Depending on the card you, it may not be your luck
Suffering teaches us to learn and stay away from the pain
It’s a harsh necessary lesson so that we won’t get stuck
And though there are those who relish in the woes
But most of us avoid the torment of a physical agony ...

Oh, No! What Was I Thinking?
After waking
up hungover,
Rita saw Greg still sleeping and naked.

Another Year Gone Wrong
Memory’s splinters pain,
chaotic fragments never fuse,
failing to create a self
beyond psychotic illusions and delusions.
A front? A pretense? A maddened dream?
To explain requires some understanding,
but unformed self and wholesome others share such slight overlap
that lack of comprehension is the sole result -
any narrative requires a thread
beyond a desire, a whim, to alter stasis from within.
The chances of success
when isolated, incoherent thoughts of one,
which failed any test of rationality,
possessed ideas of superiority...

That Cheating Jerk Just Can Not Quit!
Emily looked out the window.
She saw Kevin naked in the jacuzzi.
And Grace was with him.

Kidnapped
The rickety bus jolted as we were driven across the only real desert in Africa . I'm trying to stay positive pushing back thoughts of how easily it would be for the old bus to break down at any moment
I decided to dismiss the thought because we had finally reached Cape Town. I couldn't wait to see all of it and film everything in sight
But it wasn't in the cards as things changed in a split second. Suddenly , I feared the worse as our bus was flagged down by two men
They were white men that climbed aboard with guns in hand wearing nothing to disguise what they...

As A Result Of Todd's Birthday Rave
Andromeda
woke up so
hungover and
discovered that she was
sleeping naked on top
of her ex-husband John
as a result of Todd's birthday rave.

Safety Bubble
Within this safe bubble
I remain
Nursing my
Wounded heart
After you walked
Away from me
I remain
Nursing my
Wounded heart
After you walked
Away from me
