2011 met it's been an adventure
my soul weeps because you will never really know me
you won't come in close enough to love me in my sacredness
you make assumptions and put a scarlet letter on me
because no matter what your soul says
you come close enough just to spy on my pain
pick me up off the ground as you're running by
I guess I should be grateful
like it or not I've been watching you
if you think I don't fit with the mainstream you're right
you do because you put business man outfit and personality
and I'm sure that is legit
but you completely cut out...

Glitter
He reaches out to me
Just when I'm down,
feeling less than steady
All that he reveals
And all he keeps hidden
isn't on the surface
He says he feels the weight,
can he stay a little longer?
Could we be just friends
Leave behind the past,
but maybe I'm not ready
And I bend until I break
Here we are right now
Will we ever feel the same?
'Cause I've realized
All that glitters in this life is
bound to fade
He dreams in golden hues
Raspberry delight, soft sheets and
open windows
Lilac in...

Don't Linger On
your ego swells in mirrors
deep within you bask in your pride
your self love are like shadows
a selfishness you cannot hide
your charm is like an after shave
all stuck in you on you and around
you look so gallant and brave
you smile with an air of elegance
you think everything is about you
the sad songs from the radio
the clouds of white on blue
the poem about love so true
sometimes you pass by
giving me that tiny smile
as if its a favour bestowed
a smile for one as I
I smile back, but its...

that which goes around
judging someone is
like hurling a boomerang
into the vast unyielding
universe
and we all know what
boomerangs do
right?

Narcissist doll
Insanity calls for a spiritual demise
Angels reject thy disease
Forgotten, they suffer
No shadow to take
For I am the god here to please
Apparent in riles
Complacent in stellar
Lain place of valiant tease
Forsaking the measure
In search of self pleasure
Emboldened by the flair of the ease
Lay waste, their desires
let them singe in the fires
I am skillful at faking good deeds
forlorn, yet persuaded
To be masterfully jaded
Well versed to this imperfect scheme
Marked place of a...

Royalty for the day, jester forever
Pat yourself on the back
give yourself a handshake
your ability to bore me is impressive
do you practice in front of your mirror?
you must have thick skin
the layers must have accumulated a horrific odor of skunk
what happens when there's no one left to put to sleep?
your obnoxious tendencies irritate me and all the others
you succeeded in being, "That guy" no one likes
Here's a suggestion...
stop trying to one up or outdo whatever I or others have to say
it's not an attractive trait
if you can't be respectable to...

Death Stroke Girl (victims of biology)
She's as dead as me
or so they say
the voice in my head
makes me act this way
I've never properly grasped
the point of empathy.
Don't you disrespect me
by making me your fantasy.
When you opened your eyes
I raped you
I thought i stole your light
but it shone right through.
The sweetest thing I can say
is that you're a waste of time
on a timeless plane.
You think you can break
my adorance of Pan?
You think you can save
this defiler of a man?
Your friends...

Phlegmatic Pig
An arrogant pig comes home from work
He comes into the house and says,
"Honey I'm home"
Silence
He goes from room to room with his revolver out
So dramatic
Like something you'd see on one of those lame ass TV cop shows from the 1980's
He stops in front of the mirror and strikes a few poses before checking out the rest of the house
No one's home
He goes into the kitchen to get a beer
He looks out into the backyard
To his disbelief, he runs out to a tree and looks up
His wife & kid are hanging by their necks
He looks...

Your Own Frankenstein
Memories crook a silent wind
in philosophies point of view
of roads less taken
as you lose your youth
and become your own Frankenstein
of a narcissistic embicile
playing the fool
in philosophies point of view

This Should Drive Him Nuts
Just answer me this one question. Do
I look sexy enough in this
bikini? The reason why
I asked is my ex is
going to be at
that pool party
and this should
drive him
nuts.

for andrew
you speak like a poet
clever and forceful intentions
hide beneath illusions of a careful nature
blossoming with innocence and pretty words
your limitless and unscrupulous chase
after something you won’t find
meets my paradoxical longing for love,
and prevalent lack of self value
my overbearing commiseration
is the premise reserving my title as plan C
i feel unworthy of being even your last choice
and this weak demeanor of mine;
it makes you smile,
revealing the cards you’ll someday play
and i hope that if all else fails ...
