Longing
The highs and lows forever shape me
Even inside the deepest shade of blue
Each verse written screams to be free
With every word longing to remain true

A writer's heartache
I only wanna go
where no one's ever been
create something new
to call my own!
Give me
someone who understands my vision
flowing through me like a drug
Different stimulation
brings out
true creation
When I try to find it
some understand my views
but to most, it fails miserably
I will never set boundaries
If it connects, then great!
Usually it's a lonely, addicted frustration
Will you find me?
I'll never understand
why nobody sees my perspective
I will stand my...

????
I am trying not to cry.
But it is hard to hold back
I don’t understand what went wrong
How can I make amends
This hurts, and it’s not my pride, you see
I put out the best work I can
And it’s never good enough to see
I put up a brave face
I smile, I joke, and I even tease
Even the strongest man
Will crumble at the knees
Maybe it’s just the day
Maybe it’s just the wrong time
Too many maybe’s rolling in my mind
I went dark to see if you can see my light
I am light, and still, I cannot take flight
I will be fine;...

idiosyncrasy
chivalrous temptation,
excitable treachery don't leave me
I am in that mood again
defending my anxiety
there is need without reason
it swings inside me constantly
tortured existence I know no other
so it's for you I get on my knees
does that make me weak?
I guess it does
I can't cut it clean
escapism is my vow
I will check out every chance I get
upon your doorstep I sit awaiting my pardon
I wonder once released will I be different,
or is the problem with me?

Justice is a nocturnal animal
always watching
unseen, from the shadows
its scales wavering
may take a while
to climb
those karmic steps
but you can be certain
of one thing—
corruption
is on borrowed time
before being dealt
the same fate
that is not demeaning
what we sow we reap
if not in this life
then the next
and those behind the scenes
in...

Poetic Blues
Many a time
Writing a rhyme
Now I can't string
A damn bleedin' line
Emptying rooms
Chin hitting floor
Whining and grinding
Staring at walls
A dry thirsty mouth
Numb tingling lips
Body, head shaking
Cold fingertips
Words have dried up
Oh what to do?
Needing some love
Please help me though

if I can just hold the thought...
my mind has a nasty habit
hassling me
backing me into a corner
taunting
that one small word
guaranteed to see me spiral
...why...
as if there ever was an honest answer
can't be...you know
it's too subjective...ever changing
meant to drive me crazy
right now though...
...I'm not having it
flipping the tables
maybe it isn't that I was too much
...but they weren't enough
couldn't match my incredible frequency
maybe it isn't that I was too little ...

Echoes
Bestirred by a radio app today,
reiterating the infamy date,
I recollected what my dad would say
about how that war affected our fate.
Sick, he had stayed home from Sunday school
where thusly by a broadcast he had heard
of the sneak attack on Yankee rule
and the international afterword...
which in a few short years saw him training
with artillery to use on Japan
when their empire was at last waning
along with their co-prosperity plan...
but Russian threats, and the atomic bomb,
had his odds increase for troth...

LIKE WE THINK
Through this vortex of life we all have to learn, to walk away from the negativity, of our own thoughts and insight into the deepness of darkness. For sure it's necessary to understand, that there comes a time and place that we have to learn more about ourselves. FOR sure there's nothing really wrong, with wanna be off some where with, ME AND I WITH MYSELF. 🤔 FOR example sometimes we need to escape, from the negativity and drama and madness and chaos 😡 that's happening in the world. 🌎 But yet it's here and now I'm able to learn, to listen to the very deepness of the...

about the writing
process in here
& how it goes
it usually starts
with music a pic
and concept or
favorite quote
words on paper
left to simmer for
a couple of days
at times weeks
adding pieces &
deleting bits next
is over and over
finetuning lines
it's a nightmare
a perfectionist to
the core the bar
is set high and
the control freak
doesn't make any
concessions to the
content, format & flow
