Narcissus
I could
bleed
A million
tears
Over the
inhumanity
And those without
scruples
That feed on their own
vanity
That love
Their own
image
Hidden behind their
insanity

Insane, Primal Attraction
Insane, primal attraction.
Depraved cycles and patterns.
Enslaved, psycho synapsis.
Obtained dice rolling travels.
Engage iso-macadam.
Sustain hiero-protraction.
Enraged tight rope mechanics.
Attain Eiffel, as status.
Engraved idol of magic.
The glazed eyeballs, entrancing.
To play spiraling madness.
It gauged dyno dynamics.
Amazed rival, proactive.
His brain, idle, imagines.
Betray, twice-fold ecstatic.
Persuade triumph, reactions.
Remain spiteful, for pageant.
Portray title,...

Morning Yoga
I felt strong and asked the spirit of creation, “Will what is best in us will last for eternity?”
In her kindest voice, the spirit said, “No my dear. Even what is best in you will turn to ash in the end.”
“But great spirit, what of the passions and loving dances I’ve known. What of writhing flesh so fully possessed by pleasures? Surely my true moments of joy will dwell in some corner of the universe.”
“No, my dear,” came the spirit’s reply. “Even the purest memory of love will settle in the crust of this earth and vanish on the winds of the future. No one...

Easter
I live
Right beside
A church,
And,
How quick
The street
Does clear
After Easter service;
And remains so,
Till the next year.

David Looked Into Bree's Bedroom Window
David
looked into Bree's
bedroom window and saw
her do a strip tease dance in front
of this one round mirror on a Tuesday.

Tasting Madness
screaming in sanity
laughing in madness
fears echoing in my head
pretending I'm real
but that's not how it feels
dissipating in solution
the science of confusion
three parts per million
life devolving in dissolution
and all that's left is reptilian
mindlessly basking in the sun
tongue darting out
tasting the madness
hoping it's safe to hunt
laughing in madness
fears echoing in my head
pretending I'm real
but that's not how it feels
dissipating in solution
the science of confusion
three parts per million
life devolving in dissolution
and all that's left is reptilian
mindlessly basking in the sun
tongue darting out
tasting the madness
hoping it's safe to hunt

No Go
Back on a plane from Spain 🇪🇦
From sunshine, pull into the rain ☔
Living tha UK dream, Buenos Dias
Do tha walk of shame...🚶🏽
Letting tha beer flow, benefit street on tha jam&roll 💸
I gotta get that dough, set up shop, and start that grow 🪴
I kept my nose clean for long enough🫧
Stay off tha street where it gets rough 👊🏽
But them boys called my bluff 🤫
Start fights, blue lights, n get me cuffed 🚨
I stayed in and I wrote my stories📚

In The Mirror
I saw the boy in the mirror,
behind the man in wolves clothing
hiding in plain sight.
The devil cloaked in melodramatic costumes draped over his true nature like simple innuendos lightening the stench.
My glass is half empty
The heart in drunken stupor begging for drops of poison from his lips.
The signs ever present in the moments ignored for desperation of finding something that's missing.
Arrogance in the air, allowing a dance be had with the devil tipping his hat, in the boy in the mirror,
that never became the man. ...

The Latest Hairstyle
Kate walked in
with her hair having gone
blonde which happens to be the latest
hairstyle and we told her that she looked great as
the Farrah Fawcett of the New Year
before she saw Pam's new
hairstyle.

Attention Whore
Elon, Trump, Kim and Kanye West
and for that matter all the rest
Lights, Camera and Action
is their fix and the only way they feel any real satisfaction
There are no substitutes
for these fame prostitutes
For me it has all become a bore
because the last thing this world needs is another ATTENTION WHORE
