In To The Fumes
Words flow like worms
Swept along in the silt
Of murky river beds
No match for the current
And content
Of a cluttered unfiltered head
Moments perish like daffodils
Fragile to a stiff
Spring breeze
Petals turn dark to auburn
Permiated with jaundice
Depicting decaying disease
Ferrous dust lines lungs
Along with choking
Metallic fumes
Time ticks in slow motion
Steel faced suppressed emotion
As impending doom looms
Swept along in the silt
Of murky river beds
No match for the current
And content
Of a cluttered unfiltered head
Moments perish like daffodils
Fragile to a stiff
Spring breeze
Petals turn dark to auburn
Permiated with jaundice
Depicting decaying disease
Ferrous dust lines lungs
Along with choking
Metallic fumes
Time ticks in slow motion
Steel faced suppressed emotion
As impending doom looms

Who I am
I am an old soul
I am a soul seeking to express her voice through the art and delicate composition of Poetry.
I am a muse of life and lessons learned
I am a photographer of expression seeking to capture the essence of my surroundings
I am a worshiper of the moon and stars and the child of Nature.
I am Me 100% unique I am truth I am what I am no matter you.

Dear Notepad
The one who is most trustworthy.
The one who tells no one, nothing.
The one to whom all my secrets are revealed and kept safe.
To you, guardian of the sanctuary of mind.
To you, keeper of my fragile heart.
To you, whom my last hope is with.
Betray me not, my sad heart can not withstand much more.
Dear notepad, hold me, hold me in your embrace and free me not, your love and loyalty is all I've ever known.
The one who tells no one, nothing.
The one to whom all my secrets are revealed and kept safe.
To you, guardian of the sanctuary of mind.
To you, keeper of my fragile heart.
To you, whom my last hope is with.
Betray me not, my sad heart can not withstand much more.
Dear notepad, hold me, hold me in your embrace and free me not, your love and loyalty is all I've ever known.

I AM STILL NEW
My essence are behind the window shop,
the perfume flavor of an unused selling item.
My grammar is the colorful attractive "read me",
the style and topics i'm uncertain they will suit you,
but it's up to you to get inside for fitting,...
even though you wont buy, but you paid attention.
The support and your comments might build me,
strong or worthless i may be but i am still new.
the perfume flavor of an unused selling item.

Afraid of the darkness
I’m afraid of the dark ...No the darkness of my mind that is able to capture my soul.
I’m afraid of the darkness which allows me to show myself and my true desires.
I’m afraid of the darkness because my nightmares haunts my mind.
I’m afraid of the darkness because it keeps me up at night so much I keep the light on.
I’m afraid of the darkness because that is all I’m....what I’m destined for.
I’m afraid of the darkness because I’m cursed with a sense of death that surrounds my everyday life.
I’m afraid of the darkness

Hunting For Tranquility
The demons make my head their abound,paying rent in verbal vomit
They debate loud, pass point one after another
Robbing me of all peace and tranquility
I take a shot of whiskey to try silence them
This just adds fire as their noise is magnified
I drawn a bottle of hard rum, result;Animating their debating
"First get money to earn respect."
Demon 1 puts a point across
"money ain't everything."
Demom 2 counters
"money is all shit u need."
I join in but stop immediately...
They debate loud, pass point one after another

Demon 1 puts a point across

Frostbite
My heart it's so cold it burns. It burns but not like fire. My finger tips so numb the burn is a pain that cannot be explained. She looked into the devils eyes and said I'd rather burn in your gates of hell than to die in your frozen spell. I'm not a queen, your queen of frostbitten loneliness! You've taken my trust and I cannot speak! I can't be honest, I'm just to fucking weak. I break everything around me, everyone can see! You've made me your train wreck in your own tragic mess. You violated my soul and tortured it until it left! I now sit here empty in your fucking mess. Every time I...

Loyal Customer
I can’t help you if you don’t want to help yourself, and I can’t sell you something you don’t want.
I won’t sweeten the deal, it is what it is.
If you know what you’re looking for you’ll find it.
My business is my life, and I’ll never go out of it.
It’s nice if you show gratitude, leave a tip.
I won’t sweeten the deal, it is what it is.

Untold Tax
The thought of me, is hard to fake. But for all the others, so quick to take.
All aboard, at my expense. don't you worry, I'll pay your fee.
My promised hope is on its way. But you've made sure, it's behind your fence.
Myself on sale, discount truth. No ones here, and yet I stay.
So close to end, and yet so far. Cash my checks, yet skip my booth.
The thought of me, is hard to make, But for all the others, I refuse to break.
All aboard, at my expense. don't you worry, I'll pay your fee.

remedy to my insanity
remedy to my insanity
whats this you speak
you say you can fix me
your old idea just needed a tweak
just try it and see
just talk to my shrink
take two more pills
write down everything i think
keep track of every emotion i feel
is this it, can it be
did they finally get it right
find a remedy to my insanity
is normality actually in site
will it quiet the voices
ease my fears
help me make the right choices
stop all my tears
is it really real
will i finally be ok
or will i be this way still ...

KISSED A STRANGER
I kissed a sranger in a bus
He wore green tshirt
Green pair of shorts
And green sneakers
He also looked green from the inside
He looked innocent
But do men look innocent?
Maybe i was intoxicated by lust
We tried knowing each other
So he wore green
Because his master's party color is green
So he was a political psychophant!
What if i have him
for this long journey to the countryside
And make him a psychophant of me
I guese he will be addicted
So i kissed him
And watched him
Drown in that...
He wore green tshirt
Green pair of shorts
And green sneakers
He also looked green from the inside
He looked innocent
But do men look innocent?
Maybe i was intoxicated by lust
We tried knowing each other
So he wore green
Because his master's party color is green
So he was a political psychophant!
What if i have him
for this long journey to the countryside
And make him a psychophant of me
I guese he will be addicted
So i kissed him
And watched him
Drown in that...
