Mr. Grinch
Honestly since you asked
I’m disgruntled
enjoying today alone cup near full
Quick temper galore
I’m typically Mr. Freeze solo
during holidays
it's a dagger in the ice chest
that goes ignored
Intoxicated subzero don’t do toxic stupid shit
like suicide or murder
that’s poison ivy black rose debauchery
just one more dark problem
Life is perception some perceive demons
I make tea for mine
when not decimating them,
urbane Alfred: Batman & Robin
I been embrace the shadows
depress at least 20...

By the light of the fire we write
Tears refuse to fall
Words remain unspoken
The potent mind
Rusts in soulessness
The aces are held
So are the kings and queens
Held as they deal
Without faces
Everybody loses
Details, details in truth
Crash of sensibiltiy
Mowing the grass
Pulling out the flowering weeds
Sheltering the undergrowth
For reptilian love
What should be done is forgotten
What is done is murderous
What could be done, is buried
Under tons of wasted thoughts
All we need is taken
Stolen and...

It Seems
It seems everyone knows best
My way or the highway
My politics are the only way
And I won’t accept you feel that way
I understand and you don’t
And so we will be enemies
I cannot accept your point of view
It affects me too much
I’m not a snowflake I’m just right
I’m sensitive, my mental health is fragile
And because of the way I feel
I can’t trust my fellow humans
You were wrong
And to hell with democracy if it doesn’t go my way
Hang on that’s a bit religious hmm
American against American
It’s so sad ...

Frayed
A frayed rope
held by thin thread,
on the brink of tattering.
I’m baffled
at how it hasn’t
snapped already.

No One
No one cares what I say
I say it everyday and twice on Sundays
Do you hear what I say when you look away from me
I hear what you say even in my sleep and my
Not nightmares
Wake up in the middle of the day
Try to find a compass
I hear what you mean even in the in between
I see what you see in your daydreams
I realize it’s not a dream but real life
No one hears me so I scream
Yell out from the rooftops
And to the ocean
But no one hears my plea to save me
But no one hears...
I say it everyday and twice on Sundays
Do you hear what I say when you look away from me
I hear what you say even in my sleep and my
Not nightmares
Wake up in the middle of the day
Try to find a compass
I hear what you mean even in the in between
I see what you see in your daydreams
I realize it’s not a dream but real life
No one hears me so I scream
Yell out from the rooftops
And to the ocean
But no one hears my plea to save me
But no one hears...

Shallow words
Don't want to believe it, embrace it
anymore
Don't want to get caught up, end up
anymore
Don't want to allow it, accept it
anymore
Shallow words,
they come so easily
Each time they use them
they become more empty
So easily they lie,
true colors expose it
Their actions are real
and they don't even know it
Don't want to lean on, look for
anymore
Don't want to let it, trust it
anymore
Cause I can't keep trying, keep fighting
anymore
Shallow words, ...

Dinner with the devil
The devil came, to dinner one night.
He was a man, all dressed in white.
Light in manner, confessed a sinner.
Proved good manners, all through dinner.
Soon the devil, showed up often.
So thought that, I could help him.
He seemed to share, my every thought.
He filled up all, the empty spots.
To look the devil straight, you see.
A man that's vulnerable, I his need.
And since my thoughts, are always good.
I'd protect him, as I should.
Then the day, he showed late.
Dinner cold, made...
He was a man, all dressed in white.

And since my thoughts, are always good.

a cry from the carriage
there’s scaffolding all over the city,
as though the structures might fall
down any minute, but it’s only
the bloody trains that are held up ..

CREATURES OF HABITS
As we exchange our own personal chains of thoughts and insight, into this senseless mindless trap between the lines of your own personal. REALITY of what is right and wrong 🤔 For have you ever been in a relationship or situation, that you have felt like a outer experience. FOR your thoughts and insight and imagination. 🤨 Become slowly something that you have or not never had to expected. TO ever happens to just you yet there is no longer a exception. TO the rules of what is known of your own personal life. 😞 AS people are creatures of habits. For a snake sheds it's...

What are you doing tonight
When I saw you waddle past me with your four kids, I felt sorry for your husband
Imagine him trying to get excited over that wide, blubbery ass of yours
I bet he feels like a man whose life has ended way to early
Well, shut my mouth!!
Who the hell do I think I am talking like that?
I have no right!
Maybe your husband is a fat piece of shit like you and he doesn't notice
Maybe you turn him on
Maybe that 10 mile wide ass of yours gets him going
Maybe he thinks that's the best thing he's ever seen
Come on, let's not kid ourselves here
I...

enough is enough
sitting on a park bench
in the late
afternoon
being mindless of the
world around
me
a robin lands in front
of me
he starts his song
so beautiful
it is free on the confines
of the human
imagination
I close my eyes and
let it pour over
me
time goes on and
he is still
singing
twenty minutes
later
the skies grow
bluer
the sun shines more
proudly
and the singing drones
on
...
