House of Glass

it's easy to say I might

cause in this house of glass I try

but my words melt away

and form a stone on my face

a fear a lie


in this storm of rage and fear

the silence stabs between my ears

it's too late to speak

I'm still here on my

Why are you such a dick I say?

To impress girls so you can get laid?

Or are you just a douchebag at heart?

Who must be better and play every part?

What the Dickens?

Ideas bounce around like a pinball machine

Random racking up points with each bumper hit

Some dude is talking so much

And the strange girl is spitting out responses like a broken sprinkler head

What are we doing?
Seriously

As soon as you 

stop fucking about

we can work.

Find your respect

and ill return your keys.

The smokes cleared now

but nothings clearer

apart from the exits

but their always clear.

Ill use those when

the world ends

alongside the rest of

the dream chasers.

For now  

find me by the meditating monk.

It will get worse 

before it gets better.

Yes.

But then it will 

get worse again.

Wishful Thinking.

Elementary my dear.

The bottomless pit 

doest end

but it does have 

rest stops.

Temporary calm

before commencing 

your big descent.

A pessimist or a realist?

Too often asked.

Here read the hidden traits

of the optimist.

may my ghost cast no shadow

may the years become your friends

and if you linger where you can't go

to rest until your spirits mend


and if I leave before the sunrise

don't make yesterday your home

somewhere out beyond the big skies

beyond the blood and sticks and stones

You think me a fool?

But are not all?

So why do you choose now to enlighten me?

Have you deemed necessary the twisted fingers of your rhetoric

To unbraid my hair?

To allow it the first taste of the wind's kisses?

Is this so you may feel the jagged edge of power

To be

“Not good enough” she said.

“You’ll always have to deal with that”

And as I look at her

Confused offended and on the verge of tears…

“Feeling like that” she says…

The first time my mother ran away
she took us with her.
We went north deep into rain-choked Massachusetts
until we collapsed heaving in a bed and breakfast
whose lobby had giant stone vases larger than I was
painted in diamonds
painted in black diamonds.

He was always so calm


And she always played so coy.


But there was rough waters churning

The storm was right there beneath the surface

Just waiting...


He had been  bitter


And she had been broken


The sharp glass shards cutting into her arms
