Wake Up And Smell The Breeze
Some reality, is really ironic
the truth is left on the brink
shadows and twilights emerge
there's only vanity to summarize
Poetry praising ego and libido
inked whims melt in the alter ego
they only smell of dirty stench
an empty soul will never quench
Self-centered attention stressed
the hopes for escaping repressed
introvert, shut in from reality
opposed symptoms of double personality
Insomnia and hallucinating...
the truth is left on the brink

an empty soul will never quench

the hopes for escaping repressed
introvert, shut in from reality

Crimson Swan
Once white as snow
Now crimson-smeared plumage
No amount of ponds
Can purify those sullied feathers
Drops of pureness ripple
Slowly drowning into damnation
Now crimson-smeared plumage
No amount of ponds
Can purify those sullied feathers
Drops of pureness ripple
Slowly drowning into damnation

Capture the moments
Cameras tell no truths
What lies beneath those smiles?
Hidden exposure
What lies beneath those smiles?
Hidden exposure

You're Fired
Folks hot and eager to deport
will be no friends of mine
since disenfranchisement, for sport,
is evil by design.
By and large their rage is the same
as those who call for war
or play the game wherein they blame
the destitute and more.
It's always downward that they punch
like Nazis did to Jews;
divide and conquer by the bunch
then up spin in the news.
The bullies don't want us to know
how angry they can be
like when there's ketchup that they throw...
when someone won't agree.

Wish I Could Stay In This Old House
I wish I could stay
in this old house...
but I can't because
there are too many
memories in here.

The V Story
My curiosity peaks for this unknown
Wandering thoughts on what lies past this door
Mind riddled with new beginnings and endings
Lust rattles my soul as my imagination takes control
Excitement takes over my body yet fear takes over my mind
Hedonistic fantasies playing on repeat
Knowing that this waiting game will end
To be stripped of my last piece of innocence.

Mistake
no gate jeeper
in slips the grim reaper
just strip me bare
cut me without a care
in this mortuary joint
do you finally get the point
no longer wish to face the day
let this all fade away
jumping from the boat
with a lnife at my throat
there is little emotion
as i'm gathered by the ocean
in my mind i'm running up a hill
cause if i stand still
these dark rhoughts overtake
leaving me to make another suicide mistake
in slips the grim reaper
just strip me bare
cut me without a care
in this mortuary joint
do you finally get the point
no longer wish to face the day
let this all fade away
jumping from the boat
with a lnife at my throat
there is little emotion
as i'm gathered by the ocean
in my mind i'm running up a hill
cause if i stand still
these dark rhoughts overtake
leaving me to make another suicide mistake

Dandelion
sensible to the wind
easily blown away with every puff
fearful of the gale
softly lulls the air’s fury to sleep
easily blown away with every puff
fearful of the gale
softly lulls the air’s fury to sleep

Souvenir
And when that song comes on
no matter what's happening
or what's going on,
I'll always crave a
slow dance with you.

Mental Health (on hold)
Welcome to the sanitarium
We’ve got dry clothes and a bed
For you to live in
For the time being
What happens next?
We don’t know
Nor do we much care
So fix your head already
Then
get the fuck outta here
We’ve got dry clothes and a bed
For you to live in
For the time being
What happens next?
We don’t know
Nor do we much care
So fix your head already
Then
get the fuck outta here

The Slow Fade Of Confidence
There was a time
he never thought about it,
it came
(and so did he)
automatically...
He reveled in the opportunity
-the unspoken attraction
and the subsequent reaction
provoked by a chance meeting
or finding common ground
among a former acquaintance
The excitement of discovery
was motivation enough
and he grew to appreciate
the contrasts of others
- the differing shapes and movements
that offered that seal of delight
He wasn't reckless, by any means
or even someone who played the game ...

Man on the Street
Swallowed whole like Jonah
I reside in the guts of this
Beast, I can feel the heat of
its heart beat.
I can see the distension
in trembling and quivering
insides as I move around
on my feet.
I walk beside choked arteries
and down various tubes,
hanging gardens somewhere above
but here just waste and ooze.
I find a quiet cavity
and curl up on some bony surface
to snooze
but I don't get much sleep.
