Deaf Ears

Can you hear my screams?

I'm calling out.

Yelling until my lungs explode.

I cry out my voice so loud--

Silence.

Nobody responds they can't hear.

My air is mute my chest weak.

Please someone save me.

Save this catastrophe.

Hold my words in your ear--

Or do I need to scream louder?

Can they

Your passion washes over me
Like the waves caress the shoreline.
Pull me into your waters.
Soak me in your desire.

Your electric sensations pulse through my naked body
Like a lightning strike against a deserted boat.

Toss me upon your waves.
Show me everything you harbor--
The pleasant and fearful.

Lead me

Death hangs by the doornail

And leaves the love with whiskey and cigarettes

I wanted nothing but the truth

And found my repose in her auburn smoke

life lacquered
in beautiful blue
frozen rain freezing
faces of you in
thought crystals.

The piney branches bend
touching the top of my memory

My Own Prison

Trapped inside an imaginary world--

My mind.

Real it is but only to me

Others cannot feel

My pain.

Stuck like in prison

Jail of crime

These eyes they cry

But to everyone

It's pointless

These battles live inside--

Cannot come out

No one understands

My heart bleeds

Longing for the end

The end of

Words of Melancholy

A world of hurt pierces my heart

Eating my insides.

This dream:

I once thought was reality

To discover it to be false.

Like a bullet piercing flesh

Your actions kill my soul instantly.

Through my veins your words travel

Delivering the agony to my heart.

My heart contracts and forces

Heroism and Bravery

"Why is it so cold?"
An innocent girl asks
She wouldn't understand
It's what the world masks.

She doesn't know why
Why everyone seems to cry
It's something few understand
Why men must be sent to die.

In a desert far away
Heroes stand strong and tall
Though dirtied with life
The men are brave

Hits: 1885

Pulsating torment of your fist clenched around my heart
Suffocating my insides as you lacerate my body
With a gash slit slash and split I am ripped apart.

Fondle my spirit until I am incurable
Your heinous atrocity so conspicuous
To all who know me your rancor so palpable.

Manipulate my

A Brilliant fireball of yellow and orange

Blazes across the horizon.

Welcome to another day of misery

Another hour of disappointment.

The world knows all failures

Failing to recognize success.

The heat beats down

Melting everything unworthy.

Every life every species disintegrates.

Lava flows from this place called home

When they talk
When I hear them talk and say it's too hard
I say no
Fuck that!
This is coming from one who
was a proud resident of
South Central Los Angeles
And
From whom two parents
were heroin addicts

Can you even imagine the cards?
How am I supposed

Empty house with old chandeliers Hanging bright
Huge painting
Clinging on to the walls
Almost saying aloud
Never let go
The curtains loosly dance
To the melody of the wind
That blows
From the open windows
Overlooking the deep grey sea
So calm

I jerked hard her hair in my hands

Tight fisted by her plans

Her knees bleed within the pillory

In needful deliberate debauchery
