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...

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...

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

Alive So Many Times
People kill themselves over financial loss
I chose to work harder
People kill themselves over lost love
I got over it
People with complicated brain chemistry have a high suicide rate
I haven't succumbed
People kill themselves over maddening injustices
I wrote more poetry
Close to one million people
die by suicide every year
That could have been me
so many times over
It could have been so many of us
But we're still here
Grateful

Wrong Choices
staying out for the night
playing with matches
arsom favours unhinged minds
creating coctails of pills and booze
keeping everyone waiting
whether i live or die
another selfish act
verifying my asshole credentials
cause it fails every time
nothing falls alone
as hearts hit stone
like falling raindrops
leaving a blood red ringed rainbow
precious little breaths
makes this void so much worse
blindly coming undone
still life upon skewers
biting hard on bone
stops rising throat screams
...

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

Sympathetic resonance
I cannot say this aloud,
as I risk making it sound
like someone else's tragedy is about me.
And it's not.
It's about a devastated family
and their loved one.
We are reeling from the shock.
Away from the epicentre,
I can't help feeling doubly shaken
as current events make old ones reverberate within;
in much the same way
that piano or guitar strings will vibrate
in sympathy with a sudden loud noise.
It's struck too close for comfort
and I wonder,
will it always be this way?
Will that hidden, most...

DEEP WITHIN THEIR EYES
I would like to take this opportunity to shed some light on something, that doesn't get talk about to much in life as it gets sweep under the rug. Yet it does exist in the world as does the sick derange individuals, who commit these kind of crimes as it happens sometimes and somewhere and someplace in someone else's life. Systematically destroying countless lives in the process, leaving behind broken spirits lost and confuse sometimes feeling abandoned, by those family members and friends that are suppose to protect them. Yet instead they are going through the silence of keeping quiet, not...

Ashes to Dust
Your father gave you no grave
Just as he gave you no life
He took my books of poetry
and like you turned them to dust
But still you have a resting place
Where love and warmth give comfort
For you are forever buried deep within my heart
and if I can carry you to Heaven
When my time comes to rise
I will pray to the Lord
I will get right up in his face
I will let him know if he won't let you in
He might as well send me straight to Hell
Where I can shield your light from eternal darkness
Where I can keep the fire from your skin...
