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 ...

Burnt
More and more cuts keep notching the board
as grace falls flat on its face in the forest
such tenderness fades
to rest in the soil
Nothing comes up anymore.
No growth.
No flourish.
as grace falls flat on its face in the forest

Paintings
I've set my brush in the
deepest obsidian.
Black paint that runs down the walls
at breakneck paces.
You either die too young
or watch yourself get too old
by the day
as the paint stains
and the faces
well they're just
background space
such a waste.
I'm buying all of my
friendships lately.
The more I spend
the more it feels like family
photo finish for this
sordid hallucination
I'm not shaken.
I'm just coming to terms
With the way that shit is.

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...
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 feel like a bad person,

She was tricked
You and me
Let's do it!
The rooftop tonight
Life hasn't been so good to us
She agreed
We arrived at the top of our apartment complex
10 stories down is the sidewalk
I looked at her she looked at me
I turned away
She threw herself away
Let's do it!

Life hasn't been so good to us

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
...

Buried Alive
These are the words of a man who's broken,
Speaking of change but the change is unspoken
I wake alone each morning to an empty home
The silence mocks me , I have no where to go,
My thoughts are my fears and they haunt me , taunt me , tear me apart to my core and it's rotting.
Trying to find peace in my mind is like clawing my way out of a casket
Six feet under and a pressure sealed gasket,
I know it's no one else's fault
I know I can't live on hope
Changing my whole lifestyle is hard
I believe I've been delt my last card
I'm the...

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 ...

I'm Back!
It feels so fucking good to be back
Now its time to paint this fucking world black
Suicidal thoughts and suicidal tendencies
Fuck the attachments and these bullshit dependencies
Sinking further every day stuck in an ocean of debt
Slowly drowning inside a river of regret
Its all fucking pointless and I no longer care
I sit alone every fucking day, there's nobody there
Tired of the worrying and I'm tired of pain
Tired of the people and tired of rain
There's no sunny days when you live as a storm
Time for...

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 ...
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 ...
