Suicide ain't no solution folks
(This poem actually helped a few to rethink suicide and dissuaded them from committing it. So I like to post it, you never know who it might help)
When life
seems all hopeless
still don't you loose
all scope of hope
for there's
this thing
dangling
in the air,
Reach out
for God's sturdy rope.
For how
sure can
you be
that
death will
take you
to a better fate
What if [font=Verdana]
you are
plunged
into a
plight
much
worse
where...

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...

Coping mechanisms
Lately I've been feeling low,
I need to find a way to cope.
I've been seeing myself dangling from a rope.
There's a hole in my soul.
It gets bigger every time I realize I'm all alone.
All my bottled up emotions are about to explode.
I'm drowning in an endless ocean,
Depression and anxiety on my shoulders,
I can't seem to stay afloat.
They say happiness is a decision and I've been trying to live it so,
But after one too many failed attempts I don't have much of hope.
As I'm getting older,
The world seems to get...
I need to find a way to cope.
I've been seeing myself dangling from a rope.
There's a hole in my soul.
It gets bigger every time I realize I'm all alone.
All my bottled up emotions are about to explode.
I'm drowning in an endless ocean,
Depression and anxiety on my shoulders,
I can't seem to stay afloat.
They say happiness is a decision and I've been trying to live it so,
But after one too many failed attempts I don't have much of hope.
As I'm getting older,
The world seems to get...

Buttons
dirty ankles
skirt edges flapping
adding mud
on muddied legs
sloshing on water filled puddles
hurrying home
to prepare supper
but her thoughts were elsewhere
binding wounds
on bleeding hearts
one of them hers
the others, her children's
he didn't have to leave
he didn't have to dive
he could've hung on
until her strength
lifted him up
but he didn't
and wounded their souls
with his freedom
skirt edges flapping
adding mud

sloshing on water filled puddles
hurrying home

he didn't have to dive

Flowers for Confessors
after TS Eliot
Anne Sexton was obsessed with death,
That bellringer, this gravedigger.
In stylish dress, with gin-smoked breath,
Her corpse lolled in the gas-drenched car.
Cocktail sticks poke out her eyes,
The housewife’s life in grim surmise.
Measured out in olives, parts,
Domestic violence, artichoke hearts.
Plath, I guess, preceded her,
As death begets, like rabbits breed.
She sought a solace in the slur
Against fathers, the daughter’s need.
She knew the pain of too much sense,
The flowers...

If Suicide Had Eyes
If suicide had eyes,
it would possess a paralyzing stare.
If suicide had a face,
it’s ugliness would vacuum the air from my body.
If suicide had hands,
it would would lay its cold claws on me.
If suicide had a tongue,
it would lash the air with hallucinations.
If suicide had any promises,
they would all be empty as the air around me.

desiree
she was just a child
at her momma'a side
combing that coal black hair
until it shined
she asked momma what
does it mean to love
momma said it means to sacrifice
poppa said you know
it's just too late to cry
he's dead and he
never should've died
it was a bullet in
his head his momma cried
it was bound to happen anyway
all she ever wanted
was to love him
all he ever did
was look her way
now she cries out in
the middle of the night
lord, his dying
must be...

Out of Ash
I do so tire
of the revival
no taste for the elixir
Unaware of what it is
that underwhelms
knowing not what is right
Numb, uninspired
without feature
remove the mask you place
Take leave of me
my flesh to hide
off to the cellar
Bearing no peace
I call for you not
to breathe me to life
No honour do you gift me
attempting to control
actions for me alone
All this is me
in the mirror
not for you to imagine
Not for amusement
or your God complex ...

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...

Suicide Attempt On The Beach
After watching the
sunset, poor sad Holly stripped
and walked into the water.
