A Hapless Occurence
Who is that knocking at my window
Not real sure
Please don't come in
You can use the front door
Your unappealing
A threat to me
Please don't come near
Let's have a cup of tea
Stay away
How many more times
Please don't come around
Hating you is such a crime
Don't threaten my life
Put away the gun
Please don't approach me
You & I always had such fun
You fatally shot me
Down to one more breath
Please come closer
I'll avoid you through death
Not real sure

Hating you is such a crime
Don't threaten my life
Put away the gun
Please don't approach me
You & I always had such fun
You fatally shot me
Down to one more breath
Please come closer
I'll avoid you through death

Dark Dreams
She breaks his heart,
For each night they spend apart,
Feeling the weight of loss and despair,
Sobbing in the pages,
That now seem lost in ages,
The lovely dream seems like a nightmare.
Now he writes in vain,
Sitting and writhing in pain,
Thinking his letters somehow will get to her,
But the ache is so deep,
As each night he loses sleep,
The sight of his beloved is becoming a blur.
He takes all the blame,
As the ink bleeds her name,
Pouring all his emotion on every leaf,
With each tear he drops,
He sighs and...

the grid
things shift and I feel it
I'm here on Earth but things have changed
I'm unplugged from the grid
and I have no choice but to look
see visions and alter my course
things are provoked inside me
and I wonder where have I been,
the person I believe myself to be
then I think is that really me
or who I was conditioned to be?
assigned to carry this name and this face
sounding so much like a valley girl
but what of my soul
who was I before I journeyed here
in the stellar light do I sound the same
my...

red petal flowers
muddled,
red petal
flowers
bright
and dried,
using
the paint
from
her veins.

Love and Pain
I was always a rogue with you
Then I started to love you
Still in that phase
I wanted to see you bound
Just sitting next to me
Occasionally leaning over to twist your nipples
Hoping you'd do the same to me if I ever untied you
Yeah all kinds of bdsm pleasures
But then you got religion without the religion
That sounds weird but it's me
No matter what I say or do short of daggers
You always come back to me
To which I'm grateful
Purity has its moments
They don't last long
Winter just started
I long for your heat
Then I started to love you
Still in that phase
I wanted to see you bound
Just sitting next to me
Occasionally leaning over to twist your nipples
Hoping you'd do the same to me if I ever untied you
Yeah all kinds of bdsm pleasures
But then you got religion without the religion
That sounds weird but it's me
No matter what I say or do short of daggers
You always come back to me
To which I'm grateful
Purity has its moments
They don't last long
Winter just started
I long for your heat

The Albatross
I used to think
those hanging an albatross
around their neck
were serious about penance—
those standing their ground
saying, I refuse to retreat
but will go down with this ship
because that's how much I believe;
or, deeply loved—
because any other behavior
would mean I did not
Yet, sooner or later
some kind rebound lover
bearing gifts and poetry
appears in shining armor;
or, perhaps another...

Kill the Pain
surrendered to
the elements
earth below
storms above
i lay, i pray
Kill the pain
reign over me
rain through me
cleanse this body
heal my bones
cold as stone
Kill the pain
clouds release
soul breaks free
surrendered to
the elements
i embrace the
purging power of
the cold october rain

need is defined by those who don’t...
I keep pulling up files
entering data into accounts
feeling my blood pressure rise
one by one they stack up
"not medically necessary"
denial after denial
...of serious needs
and I'm getting incredibly pissed
disgusted with the health care system
so I'm letting off steam...
taking it out on the machine
hitting rep after rep
knowing it won't change a thing
people will still be there...
...still suffering
and I feel so powerless
just punching numbers...
...into an impersonal screen
so I'm...

Thoughts I ponder
are there salves for wounds
the heart sustained through life
poultices to soothe the pain
years in the making, unhealed yet
are there healing dewdrops
from saps of magical plants
herbs to stop the gnawing pain
the recurring fever brought by memories
are there comfort from words
uttered by insincere lips
eyes sparkling with amusement
even as voices drum their sympathy
are there anything more
than mere silence
holding back the tears
smiling through the dusts...
I wonder.

Kamp AmeriKKKa...
Where MAGA machine guns on every block
With razor wire and sandbag schools
Try to teach by conservative rules
Stupid enough for the angriest jock
Who worship a thousand Ben Shapiros,
Eager to shoot us all for God to sort,
Since sniper fire is their darling sport
Where center mass aim quickly makes heroes
Who never question their master's command,
Or vassalage to the peck order chain
Fettering the white supremacy brain,
Or the secret boners for the books they banned;
Whose triggers aren't like the rifles and Glocks
The MAGA dudes...

don't think they won't
just when you think
that powers and
and principalities
cannot take one
more pound of
flesh
they
do
right when you believe
there isn't another drop
of blood to be siphoned
from your barely beating
heart
they push the
needle in a
little deeper
and if your flesh
and blood isn't
enough
they will go after
your soft white
bones
and finally...
your human
spirit
