A better place
The world would be a better place
if I wasn't around
I try to bring others up
but all I do is bring them down
My tongue is bitter
Poisoned by pain
I feel like it would be better if I never spoke again
I try to heal the broken hearted
by showing them I care
the fear sets in and suddenly
I can't stand to be there
It's too many deep emotions
Something I can't stand
So when the people I care about need me most
I let go of their hand
I stand back and watch them drown
Because my ability to feel deep...

My tongue is bitter
Poisoned by pain
I feel like it would be better if I never spoke again
I try to heal the broken hearted

the fear sets in and suddenly
I can't stand to be there
It's too many deep emotions

So when the people I care about need me most
I let go of their hand
I stand back and watch them drown

My Thought for Today: Silence Kills
Most often, suffering happens behind closed doors. Whatever the reason, be it depression, anxiety, abuse, neglect, loneliness, shame, serious mental Illness, addiction or addictive behavior, anything that causes a person to suffer is usually difficult for someone to talk about, so reaching out can sometimes feel near impossible. As the suffering builds, the harder it seems to ask for help and can it can become a continuous loop of anguish. The perfect recipe for that one thought to creep in and grab hold. And when that happens the people in your life may not recognize the warning signs. ...

The Marionette and the Puppeteer
Having fun on his own, the puppeteer wanted any toy to pass the time with—a plaything for his lecherous mind. There, he noticed the puppet sleeping soundly in the same room—the perfect doll, he thought.
At first, it began with stolen glances and grazes across her figure. Then, when the lights were turned off and everyone was asleep, his show started, and his costume was on, designed to do tricks for her—tricks she had never felt before, and neither did she want to feel.
Paralyzed, lying like a corpse as he fastened the strings around her wrists, joints, and limbs, she...

I Swear
The morning after the dark will be littered with ghosts,
It will smell of death and life and frosty windows.
I will rise with them.
This morning will end,
It will taste of car exhaust and mold and fog.
I will end with it.
Before and before and the before until,
After,
I promise,
Soon.
Soon the time will come when the hands begin to turn back,
I promise my mushy bones respite from the push and pull of the waves.
They creak and groan as my veins crackle,
I promise the morning will end.
‘How much...
It will smell of death and life and frosty windows.
I will rise with them.

LOVE IN MY ARMS (III)-(my 3rd revised version)-(1976; Poretto Jetty, Galveston, Texas, struggling with being GAY)
love in my arms
here then gone
comes and goes
like some rare moon tide
sunrise soon brightened
into new day
but it s clearness
only added to my
ever deepening confusions
evening arrived
only a comfortable disguise
down to the beach i walked
as night s darkness
soon fell upon me
out at the end of a jetty
from which i stared up and out
at the seawall s street lights
shining down from high above me here
reflecting mercurially out into night s ...

Goodnight: Meaning Farewell
You’ll never actually understand.
These aren’t just words,
They’re my life.
My.
Myself.
I hate myself.
I hate myself...
I hate my voice,
I hate my smile,
I hate my skin,
And I hate what’s underneath it.
My blood feels less red than other people’s,
My insides feel softer.
I don’t want to die because I don’t feel worthy of the mourning.
I feel like a bad person,
I...

PSI
So in doing some research I come to realize I have PSI
Passive Suicidal Ideation
Basically, that means I want to die
But
I do not want to be the cause
I am unwilling to carry out the act myself
I hope for bad things to hsppen to me
Like a fatal car accident
A random shooting
An uncurable disease that will result in my death
A heart attack
Being struck by lightning
Anything that will result in my death
That I can feel no guilt about
...

Why you stalling on death when it's time to embrace?
Cuz every time I close my eyes I see their face
Who? The ones who'll turn their back and leave you to rot?
You tell me they're bad for me but maybe they're not
Do you feel any better now that they are around?
Do you feel less lost now that you've been found?
Has it changed anything, does your life still not suck?
You're the one suffering, do you think they give a fuck?
I don't know, maybe they actually care ...

The Night Before
You pay attention long enough
keep your ears open
and mouth shut
there will be truths
that haunt you
as ghosts
You’ll be in a grocery store
or a social gathering
and such a truth emerges
wrapping around your ear canal
until the tunnel of listening
begins to close
No one you know
will be able to reach
the deepest chamber of your heart
sitting amid all that silence
She leans over and says
"Such a shame, isn’t it?
But you know
it’s not the gun’s fault ...

On His Anniversary
Every time my wife enters the pool, she can't keep her head above the water
It would look as though she was drowning
I would jump in and save her from the deep end
I'd say, stay in the shallow section, over here
She wouldn't say much and just shake her head
Luckily, I have a lock on the gate, which surrounds the entire in ground pool
I'm the only one that knows the code
I don't allow her near the pool, unless I'm nearby
I needed to install this a few years back, since a tragedy occurred
Our son, who was 4 years old went by the edge of the pool and...
