Pathetic!!
Rats chewed the hands, lips and nose off a four month old baby in a fleabag apartment building across the street from me. The mother was on PCP. She had her head in the oven trying to kill herself. I asked her if she needed assistance. She said no. I helped her anyway.
People are so pathetic!!
People are so pathetic!!

whisper
pain drips like a faulty faucet
it is incessant and irritating
droning on and on in the background
until it thunders in your head
drip
drip
drip
with a mind all its own the heart aches
it doesn't listen to reason
a maniac
it will send you over the edge
drip
drip
drip
it drones on and on
picking on your soft spots
until you agree with it
there is no other choice
drip
drip
drip
in death there is...
it is incessant and irritating
droning on and on in the background
until it thunders in your head
drip
drip
drip
with a mind all its own the heart aches
it doesn't listen to reason
a maniac
it will send you over the edge
drip
drip
drip
it drones on and on
picking on your soft spots
until you agree with it
there is no other choice

Water Over Rocks
Sometimes we find ourselves involved in creating, the wrong kind of a relationship, that will eventually create an environment of despair, and loneliness with emptyness. But yet it's not a situation that you can make it right when it has been wrong. Sometimes a relationship is like water over to rocks running smoothly like water over glass. YET it's appears as thought everything was fine, but yet behind close doors 🚪 As Hell has no fury like the feelings of a lost love, due to deception filled with anger and hatred and self destruction. For the worst thing you can do to someone, is...

a modicum of spontaneous appreciation... of death(ly) blackhole's (re)birth, only in an undying search
staring
inadvertently long in nonchalance
at a surfacing dimension...
seem to lose
its all-so-till gathered -worldly
meanings & perceptions
dimming sudden
to an eerie switching off dark
blotch of gloominess
..of an unknown
blinding vacuum. (Fearful?
No, Why...
as never to carry
an ever-present shadowing swansong
of an apprehensible fright..)
surprisingly
turns out to be undoing
the ‘delusional' defining coordinates...

Lost Hope
it's cold in here
dark & desolate
worn out inside
i can't seem to
revive my drive
Life lost its glow
i look at the pills
the rope & note
an easy way to
end the torture
the ache inside
and i, am ready
3 A.M. somehow
something led me
to YouTube and to
Archive's concert
& i like to believe
it was meant to be
Archive found me
brought me hope
& the zest to stay
saved me from the
edge of foreverness
...

The Last Remains
that night we had an ugly fight
I screamed
With a guttural rage trying to make my voice box explode
All the anger caged up was trying to escape
Screaming like a demon throwing up
Until I couldn’t scream anymore
I felt self-loathing but held it against the world
I wanted to watch everything burn
I wanted to see the look in her eyes
While the barrel went in my mouth
Right before the bullet went through my brain
My tendencies were the goriest of the gore
I wanted to scar others for life
That’s how much I hated myself ...
I screamed
With a guttural rage trying to make my voice box explode
All the anger caged up was trying to escape
Screaming like a demon throwing up
Until I couldn’t scream anymore
I felt self-loathing but held it against the world
I wanted to watch everything burn
I wanted to see the look in her eyes
While the barrel went in my mouth
Right before the bullet went through my brain
My tendencies were the goriest of the gore
I wanted to scar others for life
That’s how much I hated myself ...

Threnody
The first of May was always for play
and not to ponder lost futures upon.
But now I'll think of souls in disarray
as well as spring fresh afternoons anon.
I wish the glory of the season
might transform itself somewhat, somehow,
into a surplus of hope and reason
which may uplift the downturned brow.
I'd sweep away all thoughts of worthlessness
and the frettings that fate will bring us thorns
instead of abundant mirthfulness,
and grace, amid cornucopian horns.
So when to sunshine the bleak skies give...
and not to ponder lost futures upon.
But now I'll think of souls in disarray
as well as spring fresh afternoons anon.
I wish the glory of the season
might transform itself somewhat, somehow,
into a surplus of hope and reason
which may uplift the downturned brow.
I'd sweep away all thoughts of worthlessness
and the frettings that fate will bring us thorns
instead of abundant mirthfulness,
and grace, amid cornucopian horns.
So when to sunshine the bleak skies give...

Distancing
This distance -
so much more than physical
deeper than social
The gulf between hearts
has never been so wide
And I'm falling into the dark cracks
of an ever-expanding universe
I ache
for three dimensional conversation,
the familiar oddities of tangible faces,
easy laughter
vulnerable grace
I keep bygones tucked safely
in the pocket nearest my heart,
hoping to feel their comfort
but it has faded
lifeless
gray
It would be fairly easy
to take my final step into...
so much more than physical
deeper than social
The gulf between hearts
has never been so wide
And I'm falling into the dark cracks
of an ever-expanding universe
I ache
for three dimensional conversation,
the familiar oddities of tangible faces,
easy laughter
vulnerable grace
I keep bygones tucked safely
in the pocket nearest my heart,
hoping to feel their comfort
but it has faded
lifeless
gray
It would be fairly easy
to take my final step into...

Lets Fight Together
Never let the darkness consume your light,
hold on to the whispers of hope,
embrace the strength within your soul
for you are needed, loved... cherished.
Never believe the lies of despair,
your existence is a beacon,
a guiding star in the night
shining brighter than you know.
Never forget the battles you've won,
each step forward is a victory,
your journey is a testament
to the resilience of your spirit.
Never surrender to the shadows,
for within you lies a fire,
a flame that will burn eternally...
hold on to the whispers of hope,
embrace the strength within your soul
for you are needed, loved... cherished.
Never believe the lies of despair,
your existence is a beacon,
a guiding star in the night
shining brighter than you know.
Never forget the battles you've won,
each step forward is a victory,
your journey is a testament
to the resilience of your spirit.
Never surrender to the shadows,
for within you lies a fire,
a flame that will burn eternally...

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 ...

The Dark Fires Of Miss. Saigon (Act III of Act III)
My love my whispers are getting faint to speak
The demons’ fog swirls and circles my feet
Obscuring my sight, my war for freedom is getting weak
Torrents of pain, silenced voices, weary faces without names
Sacrifices of blood on the pentagram of pain
Blackness comforting the steps of my feet
The stench of humanity’s disobedience, roasting in a lake of fire as consecrated meat
Death in my disgraced dishonor birthed in the name of love
The passage of the abyss is narrow I tarry in...
The demons’ fog swirls and circles my feet
Obscuring my sight, my war for freedom is getting weak
Torrents of pain, silenced voices, weary faces without names
Sacrifices of blood on the pentagram of pain
Blackness comforting the steps of my feet
The stench of humanity’s disobedience, roasting in a lake of fire as consecrated meat
Death in my disgraced dishonor birthed in the name of love
The passage of the abyss is narrow I tarry in...
