Remembrance
Today I pass another mile stone;
another breath taken, another year gone.
I have passed so fast the gentle times
of dreams, romance and festive chimes.
The mind is fixed at my childhood days;
a chubby, teeny fool, who
did not even know how to flirt or play.
My heart still beats like a pulsing star.
My soul still rocks to an electric guitar.
My body shakes, deforming scars, flaccid skin;
cruel reality of death stirring in.
No one knows or can see, the pain of memories,
which have burnt and now, will bury me.
I have...

spaceman musings
i want to make movies in the 1930's
and metamorph into a stegosaurus,
or a spoon! to be a pelican devouring
every sea, or the first man to walk
on Saturn's ring.
i want to surf on cupid's arrow, to be the
dying bee dancing drunkenly in some
ludicrous cartoon. to be a mordern Poe,
an Arthur Gordon Pym, whose voice
is bellowing heard in the depths, whose
company is milk and tea with honey.
i want to donate all my bone marrow
and make a key out of bright...

Hidden
My hearts a pool of acid
My tears are shards of glass
I sit in the darkness
As time goes flying past.
I watch in silence
I cant breathe
As my world collapses
Was it all just make believe?
A series of lies?
Lies I told myself
Were they your design?
Was this the plan?
Manipulate my mind
And twist my soul
So when you were done
I was no longer whole?
A shadow of who I was
A spectre in my life
Floating through the cacophony
The despair
I'm Drowning now
Drown in the waves of regret ...
My tears are shards of glass
I sit in the darkness
As time goes flying past.
I watch in silence
I cant breathe
As my world collapses
Was it all just make believe?
A series of lies?
Lies I told myself

Was this the plan?
Manipulate my mind
And twist my soul
So when you were done
I was no longer whole?
A shadow of who I was
A spectre in my life
Floating through the cacophony
The despair
I'm Drowning now
Drown in the waves of regret ...

The Villain & The Dealer
Gettin’ sh!t on like I’m The Villian,
got this queasy feeling on the line reeling,
coming undone at the same time wound up and spun,
I’m done playing but stuck at the table with The Dealer still dealing,
want to throw myself up out of myself,
can escape every position except the one I’m in,
can’t escape yourself if knowledge is wealth,
then I’m loaded & still spending my winnings,
got Karma Credit but I’m morally cash poor,
because I just fckt my girlfriend as if she was a whore,
and I feel terrible or rather horrible...

Empire Emphatically Enforces Exercise
Fitness guru (grew)

Tainted Crown
I rise to my own defense in my proud arrogance
But the darkness dawns on me
As if a better man is who I can convince myself to be
And every word we phrase speaks self-doubt as if humility
But the lies of my sins ridicule is my best attempt at honesty
No one closes their eyes we’re just conditioned to perform identity
Divided against ourselves it’s self versus our own entity
I’ll rise to be a social martyr but I’ll never be a fool
Kill me with your mercy
No one has a right to execute from a pedestal
My heart is haunted by the potential lineage...

Existential Conundrum
detangling figurative philosophical,
(i.e. ineffable) thread tightly bound
most likely requires a greater capacity
(than mine) to expound,
considerably superior than
this feeble intellectual attempt,
nonetheless I rifle thru my mental
vocabulary rolodex for
minimally approximating
words to be found
in an effort to describe
this nagging mental quandary, albeit
attempting basic construct
analogous to erecting complex edifice
securely established
upon terrestrial firmament,

submissive muscles

muddy pools
