Out of Control
I was young
I was angry
I was completely out of control
I had self-loathe and disgust for myself
I was miserable with the path I chose
Unhappiness lead me into depression
And depression into an even darker road
Where ending my life seemed like the only thing to do
But most of all I felt like any day I would simply implode
I lied
I cheated
I screamed
Then everything just went quiet
And when I woke up
I thought everything would be ok
So long as I was being compliant
Not once ...

Bagged Escape
She traveled through existence shattered
Everything having meaning but nothing mattered
How was it possible for her to hold so many pieces together
The gravital weight of depression and anxiety the electrified feather
But where was the median, where was the common ground
Expected to let her feet touch the earth with all these negative forces around
Why would he do what he did
Enter in secrecy and stealing from a kid
So many of his same energy wanting to become a compound
Why did he corrupt her energy deciding she should be...

melancholy by the thames
he wonders how many
have thrown themselves in at this very spot where he idly
sits, skimming stones ..
have thrown themselves in at this very spot where he idly
sits, skimming stones ..

continental breakfast
Hemingway woke up
one morning
made breakfast
eggs,
bacon,
toast,
coffee,
orange
juice
and a side order
of shotgun
legends come,
legends go
whatever the
reason
it's as simple
as that
the toast must
have been
burnt

Jane's River Swim Foiled
Jane's River Swim Foiled
She wears her best wedding gown. It feels right for her to celebrate the happiest moment in her life on the eve of our anniversary. I comb her hair not knowing her true intentions.
I serve the dish she so loves, okra, tomatoes, and brown rice. She takes her time eating to savor every bite. I wonder how we will spend the rest of our special night. We finish our dinner together.
“Take me for a ride, John. I want to see the river by Audubon Park” she tells me. We drive to the Mississippi River. “John, wait here and let me go ahead. I...

Precipice Trilogy
life is dangerous
when death is calling
and you chase yourself
to answer
death is dangerous
the seductive void
when life is giving you
too much something
Indecision
is one foot in the grave
oops, don't trip
when death is calling
and you chase yourself
to answer
death is dangerous
the seductive void
when life is giving you
too much something
Indecision
is one foot in the grave
oops, don't trip

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

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...

Diamond Plate Bones
Dark conversations go round and round
Inside my head when no one’s around
Walking around searching for trees
Strong branches with lots of leaves
Beauty of flesh rots eventually
Cast it aside and you will see
Life is hard full of misery
Should I stay or should I go
Slide into the wind that blows
Leave you my Diamond Plate Bones
God’s ganna hate me
Devil's ganna save me
Understands me better after all
He’s embracing my fall
From the branch up high
The noose held tight
Yeah I took the flight ...
Inside my head when no one’s around
Walking around searching for trees
Strong branches with lots of leaves
Beauty of flesh rots eventually
Cast it aside and you will see
Life is hard full of misery
Should I stay or should I go
Slide into the wind that blows
Leave you my Diamond Plate Bones
God’s ganna hate me
Devil's ganna save me
Understands me better after all
He’s embracing my fall
From the branch up high
The noose held tight
Yeah I took the flight ...

A mom's despair
I have a child who tried to take his life a couple of years back
There is no larger pain for a mother to know that her son wants to leave this world.
It breaks my heart to know he still thinks about it.
It pains me when he rejects my help or anyone elses for that matter.
He had a wonderful childhood, loving parents and grandparents.
In his younger years, he was such a vibrant and happy kid. I think it all changed when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 5 years old.
He refuses to aknowledge that this disease affects his attitude and...

The Steps (Suicide content Warning)
I stand at the bottom of the cliffs
A staircase winds up
Through the gorse and bracken
Its night, I'm alone, I can smell the sea.
Each step up brings me closer to the cliffs
Closer to the memorial benches
The rabbit nibbled grass
The rickety wood and wire fence
The sign warning of the drop
Up I climb
Rising closer to the top
When I am half way
I feel like turning back
I don't. I climb
I reach the top
Metres from the edge
The breeze from the sea is cooler up here
The orange lamps...
A staircase winds up
Through the gorse and bracken
Its night, I'm alone, I can smell the sea.
Each step up brings me closer to the cliffs
Closer to the memorial benches
The rabbit nibbled grass
The rickety wood and wire fence
The sign warning of the drop
Up I climb
Rising closer to the top
When I am half way
I feel like turning back
I don't. I climb
I reach the top
Metres from the edge
The breeze from the sea is cooler up here

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...
