I am yet again lost inside myself,
Trapped in the echoing corridors of my psych,
Bound tight by the weight that is my loath,
I am the crooked puzzle piece, I am the degenerate,
I am the fallen foothold of the quickened race.
Sometimes I am ellusive to the corrosion,
I am void of the commonplace loop-
But it always seems to constrict around my throat,
That nauseating sorrow that is always there.
T...hey always try so hard to be decent,
and maybe that begins my fall-
The thought that I am just a pleasant stranger,
The same as a hook upon the wall.

I will not descend into this mirage of such bright white

Where false pretence pretends to be with bright light

As death consumes a dreamer’s heart in religious code

Truth will carry us into chasms without false chalets of gold

For distinguished in bright light is human’s coldest wet snow

The lie we die for and its passage home

I’m gonna nibble some neck

Under this red blood moon

Howl a fang sang song

With eyes in full bloom

Gonna make my mark

Two petite puncture wounds

Mesmerize your eyes

To do what I do

With juice so warm

Like midsummer June

I can wait anymore

Kissing spots of perfume

This love for life…

 

I pause at its description

For it truly is an addiction    

Unexplained by its diction

Charades, facts and fictions

 

Within our art and science

A relationship without alliance

Our acceptance of defiance

Our intermittent thin reliance

Seashells in rich red dirt,

Treasures birthed from the urban grass strip,

Hidden Honolulu.

When oft forgotten the truth last sought,

and whole dreams are no longer bought,

with daring whispers all for naught,

then there will I stand.

 

With defiant leper's glaring eyes,

cutting trenches in marbled lies,

seeking darkness in light's disguise,

then there will I stand.

Just Another Love Story (Finished)

On Nostalgia T.V.,

The Lady in the Dark Room is the most requested

In a realm of high definition.

An obsession and picture at it's most ecletic.

 

Back in a better time,

I washed up on the pier a glass man carrying shattered thoughts, in grizzled palms.

All consumed by awe of greenish-brown seas on Charm City's Amistad.

Blackened white to rust the rust colored promenade,

Laying me to rest with diesel churned lullabies

Desperate knuckles cling cautiously

Creeping microscopically

On earth’s granules and stone

Cliff scraping edge to bone

Frighten fingers mown

Unclear of this new found fear

Letting loose ever so slow

Into the nowhere below

Everything is so unclear

.

Cold coughs from cave rises

Lung surprised at cold rise and fall

Mumbled words barley heard

Slink down the mossy walls

Lonely as I've ever been,

I crave the Nirvana,

That sits right between reality,

And the dark recesses of my mind.

 

That floating weightlessness,

That feeling of nothingness,

That blackened dustiness.

 

Lonely as I've ever been,

I spend my day seething with rage,

Growing farther and farther from compassion,

My rolling eyeballs breaking in their sockets.

You acted like you weren’t aware
I acted like I didn’t care
We both act like it isn’ t there
A glare, a stare, flair, affair.

You crack a joke
I try not to notice the way you spoke
Whatever from me you took
A look, a book, smoke, woke.

What is consciousness in cloud rich memories?

Every entity is She, He, Them;

Decomposing lenses clutch these weary eyes.

 

Another yesterday passes forward.

I saw you then and now.

Maybe once more,

One of these seconds.

A fledgling phoenix wades in the ashes of the Before.

She seeks mother's warmth, only to be scorned by her misdeeds.

Twisting karmic balance, he all knowing father Time resents her defiance.

Sweet phoenix is a child complacent to his will;

Never wanting or wishing, but the chilling smell of undeath lingers.
