Not Quite A Hamadryad
Last Christmas
I considered
Wearing a small christmas tree
On my head!
So i could declare
"Look!"
"The christmas tree
Is on top of the fairy
This year!"
But didn't!

emotional suction
love´s is not a lie
it's an origami cuckoo
catched by the whirlpool
of a porcelain blackhole

On A Train
Stations
Like time
Flashed past me
Small, hopeless habitats
Humdrum lego boxes
Built just the same
All betwixt
The occasional flash of nature
Beautifully intruding
Upon this otherwise
Grey landscape
Welcome to Londinium

Inpromptu haiku
Painted thoughts swirl fast
Madness shines with polished gleam
Just insanity
Madness shines with polished gleam
Just insanity

Nevertheless Haiku
In your verses deep
I find pieces of myself
Hearts entwined through ink
I find pieces of myself
Hearts entwined through ink

Rosa Rugosa
They plucked the petals
of this Rosa Rugosa.
Lusting after her bloom,
to be torn and thrown.
Her prickles, unworthy
to be found and held.
They abandoned the dregs
of this wrinkled rose.
of this Rosa Rugosa.
Lusting after her bloom,

Her prickles, unworthy

Checked Out
My mind is a scattered heap of wadded notes
Tossed aside and torn under mindless footsteps.
I cannot find words for all that is trapped inside.

Some kinda recursive stress thing.
I only get happy when I'm in these.
Liminal trance states.
Where I can forget.
Linear time.
And,
It's worse than I ever told you.
In my whole life.
Cause.
Remember.
I didn't tell you.
A God damned.
Thing.

Schizo affective
Every new beginning.
Exists more poignantly.
In my fantasy.
Than in reality.
And the grandiose delusions.
Are finally wrong.
I'm simply.
Mundane.
Important to no ones.
Story.
I have no deus ex machina.
Just personal private moments.
And poorly worded.
Psychosis poetry.

part of the crowd
let me
hurry
and rush
uptown,
let me
become
part of
the crowd,
it's lonely
being
just one.

Torpor of routine
I'm.
Not.
Missing.
Out.
On.
Life.
I'm.
Just.
Waiting.
To.
Die.
It's.
Not.
Exactly.
What.
You.
Want.
But,
I.
Never.
