With these four walls around me
A ceiling above and floor below me
I am the dead and forgotten.
With no memories left to entertain me
No dreams left to comfort me
I am the dead and forgotten.
With no sign of life coursing my veins
No

faces fell off long ago for me
in the land of giants
but yours
i remember when it did though
and i was never quite as sad
and you were right when you said
that i never had one

He was talking of colors that fell from the sky
the kind that paint the streets with the blues
that’s all he ever wanted to sing
and play with the way the colors fade away
into the crooked concepts of yesterday
into those same watered down streets of color
unsure folks glare into

THE ‘UNWANTED’
WE ARE NOT ASKED AND NOR DO WE REQUEST
TO BE SCATTERED UPON THIS EARTH LIKE SEEDS TO THE WIND
BUT FROM A TRIUMPHANT UNION AND A MILLION TO ONE SHOT
A NEW LIFE IS CREATED AND THIS IS WHERE I BEGIN
EMERGING INTO THE CONFUSION I

Time walks on
waiting
Bodies to catch up
to brains
The mind traveling –
old age and back again
No sensitivity to
the owner
And yet…
Still…
I’ve seen myself by Time
lost baby selfish wants
a child to play
an old woman in bed
a teenager popping pimples
myself…
Catching up to
my own

Penetrating
This is fight and flight poetry
I'm still on the run;
Where there's a fraternity
There ain't yet a one.
Can't fathom the truthfulness
Can't play the fairway
As torture is to torture-
Oil goes to flames.
Knowing numbers are one

The Creator envisioned
His doll-like human creations
Homogenizing our species
Who says we have to only
Fall in love with those
Who look just like us
Or speak only the same
Language as the place where we were born?
We are meant to
Cross-pollinate like the bees;
Flower-to-flower;
Each one teaching

I am no longer who I once was but something new
someone reborn in flesh unfamiliar
to long parted from she whom bore me
to long chained by he whom owns me
my debt
time time to think and realize
that highs and lows belong

I try and try
but I can’t let go
I hold my breathe
But I don’t know.
I hope for air to seep deep through my skin
and into my lungs
but it’s a smooth pain
that makes me collapse
into a relapse

rain falling and awaiting sneaky fibers. hiding the truth i lie on finding the lies i trip on. when will i know? reflections in the mirror nothing but particles of light finding their way through my dreary face. it is the morning that catches hope. and night that seals the tomb. (enclosing what is left).

When you get up to go
I will hopefully not quiver my lip
or stand to bite my nails
as I lean against the railing to push you off
gone for life
I'll always be glad
I guess I'll never know
what it's like to
