Bring it
bring me your enthusiasm
bring me your joy
bring me your unbridled laughter
share your indecency
share your too much
share your obscene dirty jokes
don’t hold it back
don’t give too much slack
don’t make any excuses
I want all your feelings
I want all your truth
I want all your sensitive spots
show me your passion
show me your delight
show me your secret nerd-dom
let me witness your pain
let me witness your rage
let me witness the wounds you’ve defeated
I don’t need...
bring me your joy
bring me your unbridled laughter
share your indecency
share your too much
share your obscene dirty jokes
don’t hold it back
don’t give too much slack
don’t make any excuses
I want all your feelings
I want all your truth
I want all your sensitive spots
show me your passion
show me your delight
show me your secret nerd-dom
let me witness your pain
let me witness your rage
let me witness the wounds you’ve defeated
I don’t need...

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 ...

Echo
caught in a tangle of dusted words
unheard
fading away in despair
a lingering echo from my mind
pled
don’t leave me behind—
…leave me behind…
…me behind…
…behind…
unheard
fading away in despair
a lingering echo from my mind
pled
don’t leave me behind—
…leave me behind…
…me behind…
…behind…

Blindness Of The Eyed Ones
It's so easy to write more words
vanity and levity, that say less
much the same when you talk too much
while your speech is meaningless
even at more lower level when you lie
in this mature age and awareness...............
when the child lies we blame the kid
scald him sometimes, hurt his feelings
don't we realize that they are our seed
Then, we reject the crops that we have sown
shameful when the child read our sickness,
see our vulnerability, watch how weak
we present our poetic selves....

a simple puppet
look, I live on a hill
sometimes I can walk up it
but sometimes I can’t
help falling down
sometimes I can walk up it
but sometimes I can’t
help falling down

Deadline
I'm looking around.
Trying to leave this town.
This place isn't safe.
He should take my place.
He keeps checking his watch.
Got left behind
for a deadline.
Why am I left here?
This wasn't the deal.
Won't wait for me.
Won't wait for you.
I don't know what to do.
I can't get through.
This is a mess.
You tore up the test
and threw it in my face.
This place isn't safe.
At the dead line.
That's where I'll be
waiting at the dead line.
Won't wait for me.
Won't wait for you.
Keep checking...

Imposter
Fear of being a fraud
Always been my fallout
How can I move forward
If I fear being found out
I tried in this life
But did I really?
Whether or not so
Imposter syndrome killed me
I wish for a better excuse
But no, just that
The feeling of not truly good enough
Keeps me on my lap
Move onward
No, downward
Self-induced penalties too great
Leaves nothing but a coward
Always been my fallout
How can I move forward
If I fear being found out
I tried in this life
But did I really?
Whether or not so
Imposter syndrome killed me
I wish for a better excuse
But no, just that
The feeling of not truly good enough
Keeps me on my lap
Move onward
No, downward
Self-induced penalties too great
Leaves nothing but a coward

I woke up sideways.
I woke up sideways to an awkward world.
Surfed a little porn, it was nice enough.
Shaved the head and face, slapped on some Curve.
Went outside feeling not quite enough.
Jeans and a tee today, no suit and tie.
When I dress this way I somehow feel young.
Wishing for something else I'm not gonna lie.
Since wishes don't come true I'm basically done.
Truth is I don't quite care its all a facade.
Not much to see in there beyond the disguise.
Wearing a cross having never met God.
Trapped in should've saids and useless half tries. ...

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.

Metamorphoses
The transformation from a
Walking to a wheeling person
Opened the gate to a
Dark night of the soul
How I missed dancing
Playing volleyball
Riding my bike and
Roaming the woods!
Shame swallowed me
Self-pity drowned me in tears
Self-hatred got the best of me
Failure threw me into an abyss
Looking into the mirror
I saw a weak disabled body
Craving desperately my attention
Merciless I turned away
When I was at my lowest
An angel in the shape of a man
Stepped into my life and...
Walking to a wheeling person
Opened the gate to a
Dark night of the soul

Roaming the woods!
Shame swallowed me
Self-pity drowned me in tears

Failure threw me into an abyss
Looking into the mirror
I saw a weak disabled body
Craving desperately my attention

When I was at my lowest
An angel in the shape of a man
Stepped into my life and...

Unspent Dreams
Look at all these offerings;
Flawless addictions
A paralyzing,
amplifying,
complete malediction
Inserting the defective source
in a rundown operation
Is an anonymity that captures you and
leads this solemn nation
In a flow of raucous energy
In a river of silentious screams
Casualties fall one by one
Leaving behind their unspent dreams
Obviate the presence of reality
and burn your soul where you lay
To whom this wisdom shall be odious
Changes day by day
Flawless addictions
A paralyzing,
amplifying,
complete malediction
Inserting the defective source
in a rundown operation
Is an anonymity that captures you and
leads this solemn nation
In a flow of raucous energy
In a river of silentious screams
Casualties fall one by one
Leaving behind their unspent dreams
Obviate the presence of reality
and burn your soul where you lay
To whom this wisdom shall be odious
Changes day by day
