Fearful Signs
fear
is not the red hexagonal stop sign that means
“do not proceed”
fear
is the yellow triangular caution sign that means
“slow down something interesting is about to happen”
wear a seatbelt drive defensively
and pay attention to the signs

Recipe of Life
A bird sings in the morning
A word brings you a warning
A lot of light will shine and glow
A shot on sight for debt you owe
A life will begin and it will end
A knife within, no way to mend
A heart is broken and full of pain
A start awoken and pulled by chain
A gun is shot into the sky
A sun is lost as time goes by
The snow and frost is on the land
The soul in knots, you try to stand
The pain you feel won't go away
The stain will peel away the day
The hope inside has left you dead
The slope and...

I Drink Pain
the misery you hate
is food for my renunciation
the loss you fear
is my giving
the loneliness you dread
is my meditative solitude
the death you try to avoid
i know intimately
your tragedy
is my compassion
your pain
is my rapture
your chaos
is my transformation
your grasping
is my enlightenment
the black cat my familiar
the ladder my Pythagorean equation
the single mag~pi
my mindfulness
the sting of alertness
your lost opportunity
is my inspirational prayer

Time is now
I look at the clock as it begins to strike
I hear the devil knocking at my door
I look outside on a rainy night
Now wondering what my life is for
Some thunder claps and lightning hits
A tree may fall from just one touch
The truth is now impossible to resist
No easy way to discern and simply trust
The road in life can break your heart
The path you took could bring you peace
One dreadful move and now back to start
A fish is caught but no release
The moon and sun will cast a shadow
The soul inside will light...
I hear the devil knocking at my door

A tree may fall from just one touch

The road in life can break your heart
The path you took could bring you peace
One dreadful move and now back to start
A fish is caught but no release
The moon and sun will cast a shadow
The soul inside will light...

Vision
A cabin
In the mountains
Quiet, serene.
Visits
From friends
Or strangers
In search of healing
All who visit
Sincere in their intent
Bathing in the stream
Rituals
Incantations
Spiritual energy
Walking naked with the animals
Soaring with the birds
Swimming with the fish
Crawling with the bugs and snakes
Rising
With the sun
Sleeping
Under the stars
Appreciating the universe

One More for the Road
Tracks up my heart
where i prick myself
with the laudanum
of your promise
to save me
from something
other than your rush
~ heady
this vertigo dream
{lies i tell me}
hope wrapped in
confession
You linger
on my membrane
as i finger tip rub
deep inside
a psychotic obsession
you offer me cum
but tears are sweeter
i did too much,
now i sledge
this harsh comedown
teeth rattle
bones ache,
i can do this

The Ugly Truth
There was a time I had a love
The most beautiful woman I know
I take the blame ,but it's not enough
She left me alone without a hope
Looking back, I was lucky to be
with a beautiful one that wanted me
The only chance for me to be happy
is now just a painful memory
When you're attractive and love ends
You quickly find yourself in love again
The ugly are rejected without defense
Unwanted, unwelcome, lost, and in pain
Cliches and lies fill the air
from the ones who really couldn't care
No one...

Cliches and lies fill the air

My Own Insanity
Treasured beyond what can
be measured, a look, a kiss,
it's so hard to try and dismiss
all the emotions and notions
that compile into one multi layered
thought process, but if I am
to confess, left to my own
slices and devices, I may not write
anything down, but I have found
my own indifference's,
I can sing without talent or caring
if anyone is listening or sharing, I am
drifting back into my dreamless dreams
where being alone and unattended again
it seems...

The moon, the star, the tree and me,
The moon, the star, the tree and me,
Once upon a time it was simple poetry,
Not today, but one night
Last summer when I parked the car,
I saw the moon, it had been following,
It tucked itself under a tree
That stood watching, and the star;
My deity supreme,
I cannot speak of my pain, only
The moon, the star, the tree, and me.

Brace For Impact
Bare with me, you see I never experienced death you see.
I was living my life in the hundred acre woods,
Eating honey sipping lies, Believing life was all good.
Failing to foresee the red sea slowly engulfing me.
Life comes at you fast.
Death hit me with a upper cut, jab cross
Took out one of my brightest lights
I had no chance.
It was only 3 seconds into the first round
I was leaning, I couldn’t stand.
Grim reaper told me I was his inn keeper
Dropped his bags at the front door
He appeared eager
I became weaker ...

Shattered
My girl was there and pretended to care
As long as it looked good to others
But when things became tough
And the roads became rough
I seemed to become too much a bother
The drink and the drugs
Filled the void of a love
That no longer seemed to matter
Then piece by piece
Like broken glass at my feet
My life became incurably shattered
Shattered like a window
After innocent childhood play
Shattered like a puzzle
Thrown away in dismay
Shattered like a bottle
After each and every...
As long as it looked good to others
But when things became tough
And the roads became rough
I seemed to become too much a bother
The drink and the drugs
Filled the void of a love
That no longer seemed to matter
Then piece by piece
Like broken glass at my feet
My life became incurably shattered
Shattered like a window
