I passed on dessert
I can see
something
that empties
my diaphragm
and not order
from the
menu.
Just because
I want it
in me
doesn’t mean
I want to deal
with the
consequences.

Quicksand-
the more you struggle the faster you sink,
i’m sinking in quicksand.
there is quicksand all around me.
am i the quicksand?
i’m sinking in quicksand.
there is quicksand all around me.
am i the quicksand?

Echo
My emotions
Echo
In my head
Detached
From my feelings
That are screaming
To be free
To roam
This reality
Before my body
Becomes
Obsolete

Poetic death
And on my deathbed
I shall write my last rhyme
You think you know me
You don't
You want to know me
Read my poetic lines....
I shall write my last rhyme
You think you know me
You don't
You want to know me
Read my poetic lines....

Día de Muertos
Yesterday
Dead and buried
Tomorrow's a lifetime away
The only thing that exists is today
Dead and buried
Tomorrow's a lifetime away

Wet
Still thinking of you
leaves me sitting in puddles
now stuck at my seat
leaves me sitting in puddles
now stuck at my seat

Everyday Dreamer
I dream everyday.
Every moment
Of everyday
I long for change
I dream of beauty
Peace
Stillness
Safety
Love
And everyday a nightmare unfolds before my eyes.
I hope one day I wake up
And find joy.

Tenement Of My Psyche
chlorine smelling hallways
damp, cold, skin
water-logged head
claustrophobic carpet patterns
yellowing ceiling tiles
wallpaper peeling, revealing
the cracks behind
and the cobwebs
rotting roof wood
spitting and letting
the sunlight
slither back in
to the attic
damp, cold, skin
water-logged head
claustrophobic carpet patterns
yellowing ceiling tiles
wallpaper peeling, revealing
the cracks behind
and the cobwebs
rotting roof wood
spitting and letting
the sunlight
slither back in
to the attic

Restless Leg Syndrome
Feet pound along a spiral
track, toward a place
all too familiar
where I don't want to be
It's not a race
There is no win
But I keep running
track, toward a place
all too familiar
where I don't want to be
It's not a race
There is no win
But I keep running
