Grateful
she sat on my lap
this strange bar girl
and no one took notice, really
i played it cool
and continued to laugh
no one knew how grateful
i was for her attention

Inheritance
Memory
Legacy
Call it what you will, but it is
the feeling that rises
when I see the skin on my knuckles
and remember
that my mother's hands had the same texture
when I was young.

matching my vibration with that old, painful, worn out frequency."
killing myself with that self-sabotage tendency.

As my vision wanes
With more clarity I see
All beauty's facets
With more clarity I see

I Can't Look Away
The twisted words
of a really sad world
are beinging hurled
at me.
No escaping it.
Maybe I could try, but where's the
poetry in that?

Tenacious
Trampled on dreams
refusing to die
grabbing onto the
side of life
holding on,
can't let go
even though
I want to,
I still don't
that has to count
for something.

Heritage
No-thing is corporeal
all is ethereal
Her-i-tage
Mem-or-y
Truth
Experienced.
A thousand years, a million
all now.
Now.
Now.
Now.
Now.
There is no future,
No where-to,
Come from,
Come to,
be
here
now.

Swept Over
I used to be someone
but that is no more
now I am just dust
laying in the sunlight
on somebody's
dirty floor.

Until It Runs Out
the wounds your words
left me with
have begun to fester
hatred and indifference
started replacing the loyalty
biology has burdened me with
