The Night Our Lives Changed
Our lives were perfect
We lived a normal life
I was happy when we met
I enjoyed being your wife
We loved each other always
Enjoyed living our lives
Everything changed one day
That night when we died
We went out to an affair
Everything was alright
The evening turned to a nightmare
We were both filled with fright
Chaos and screams heard
People running for cover
Our minds were blurred
I just held my lover
Shots were fired there
Nobody had a chance
The shooter had no care
We...

"Perks" of being a Doctor: Part 3 - After Midnight
Five people are waiting for the radiologist to finish taking the chest x-ray of a patient who was revived back to life.
Its past midnight as I take over my shift at the ED. There are a handful of patients with their loved ones on their side, a couple of nurses and other doctors. Its a slow and quiet night as I sat behind a desk which is next to my patients. Then suddenly, an irate scream of an attendant pierced through the silence which surrounded the emergency hall. She was holding her husband as he was gasping for air and not responding. We rushed to check his heart beat but...

Another Day
Another day, another way.
Man finds something new to say.
Another life, another death.
A woman cries 'pleasure' in a bed.
Another grade, another child.
Exam stress drives them wild.
Another year, another trend.
A dare just cost you, your friend.
Blind eyes and stitched mouth.
Leaves little to be said, and many a doubt.
Another life, another soul.
cast once again into society,
an endless hell hole...

Vibrating
Off
The pulse
Of your
Whims;
Driftwood
Sheltering-
The species
Of us;
Lost in-
Never Finding
A place
To safely
Port from.

Breasts*
(Listening to Dead Red Sea - Humanoid)
And with the
Openings of
Men with
Eyes
In their mouth
Populating
An answer:
(For clarity)
Across my
Breasts: a
Deviant’s
Weakest
Possession:
Discovered in the
Debris of
Night air
Made to
Psyche this
Mind
As if we were alone-
Parts of me
Used
A means: a tool
To entertain
But more so to
Reckon with
Visibility:
Survival
Made to
Hide
Out in the
Open.

a seaman`s war
The Merchant seafarers' war
When world war two started Norway was
neutral but unsure which side to stay on.
The English thought occupying Norway
but they were too late the German army had
done the occupation.
The British sent a ragtag military force to Norway
trying to cut the country in half to stop further
advances but were told to pull out.
Norway had at this point a big merchant fleet
It was sequestrated and used bring good and weapon
for the allies.
This left thousands of seamen nowhere
to go those go tried to flee...

Bamboo Shoots*
(Well actually, we were listening to Dorian Corey going to town on it; RIP)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T3CXj9_Z_mk
There had to be some sunshine to alleviate
Some kind of pain; trying to find the balance
In this life; how to invite without
Full disclosure or surrender without dying
And we just weren’t prepared to
Sustain
Let alone bounce back from
Something like that; that
Particular kind of loss
Growing
Underneath
My fingernails: bamboo shoots
Sheltering...

Endorphins 2
Ryo Fukui - Scenery 1976 (FULL ALBUM)
Ahead
Of our time
Probably in
Need of something
To supplicate;
Electric shock to
Piece
Production back
Together again:
Coordinating
Temporalizing a
Euphoric state
When we’re in
Pain
Or even worse
Orgasming
Feels so good
Until it
Hurts kinda
Deal
Now feeling
What’s
Been
Left
Over the
Years;
Searching for that ole
Analgesic of
Endorphins
Prepared to
Activate
My
Opiate
Receptors.

Soul
(Listening to uh Rise-Herb Alpert)
Those
Decaying
Parts of me were
Inhaled
As a single
Foreign
Object
Or substance
Swallowed so
Caustically
Slowly
Ingested
Like the
Shivering
Down pour
Of
Buddhahood
Thinning the
Veil
Between the
Mind and
Body
Which otherwise
Might have
Caused
A complete
Blockage
In the airway
Of existence
If it weren’t for
Being
Housed by this
Other
Painstaking
Soul of mine.

Sacrifice
Why did we decide to drink the wine
That wasn't for us, it was a sacrifice
Aroma was so strong we needed it
Stroking his arm as our bodies fit
They all left us even after we gave it all
To see them grow so they could cause the fall
But he walked away from that retched family
To fight with us to his ultimate ending
We lean on our boulder, cry for it's death
Punishing ourselves for ever tasting it
Should have just left him as a soldier
Not a friend, not a man, not a lover, or a shoulder.
That wasn't for us, it was a sacrifice

DUP Confessional 11- Faith
(Listening to Mercury Rev - The Funny Bird)
We must admit
Some of ya’ll are uh

Straight up
Restoring
My faith in
Humanity
At large
Restoring the
Heads of state
On something
With only its
Trailing Ends;
Otherwise
Maimed
Lacerated
Deformed
Over time-
Now
Restoring the
Heads of State
On the
Need for
An institution of
Enlightened
Citizenship.
