there's an undeniable texture to violence
so it makes me wonder if i can taste it
theres a feeling i get when you grow silent
i take it in so now i breathe it

the flesh that was once filled
with rosy splendor
now a cold pale shell
waiting for me to
dismember
the steel will be

1 slash 2 slash 3 slash 4

how many cuts can you endure?

drip drip-to the floor it will drop

let the blood flow baby please don't stop.

?

will it be arm or will it be thigh?

O My Luv was like a red red rose

              'til she swelled like an autumn creek.

O my Luv was like the melodie

              ‘til the chords hit flat and weak.

As fair thou

The swelling of my empty breast

Blood warming in my heart

The peeking of a golden crest

The coldness can depart

Stillness as the shadows pass

Time has ticked away

Doing seconds job at last

New warmth is here to stay

Drudgery has left my mind

I found El Dorado Candide;

it meant something special to me.

I rode on your blood rams

all laden with diamonds

but riches inspired me to leave.


I tasted your fruit my dear Eve

I wanted to know of a sin.

It stuck in my belly

forbidden fruit jelly

A Distant Love

And will I ever see you again?

Along the path of Grecian-men?

Adieu adieu adieu.

Long-last our love did yearn

And yet like sicklied leaves

It faltered turn-ed still in light

Our passion fought

And lost with all its might.

What is people's problem with weed?

Don't they realize it's the medicine they need?

So many options for prescription drugs

docs give 'em out like moms give hugs.

They take pills orally sometimes even anally

it just seems so wrong.

I prefer my meds administered by bong.

Love don't cost a thing

well that's half true

but be careful

that saying can play tricks on you

love does cost so please don't mock it

Just because what you lose

doesn't come from your pocket

It's the loss of  love

The loss of tears

The loss of hope secrets and fears

it was the summer?i learned regret and
how to rise above it?with august heat
clinging like too quickly smoked cigarettes
and the boy held closer than intended??
with his paper doll kisses that burn burn.

Don't be the cloud.

Be the wind

that pushes the clouds aside.


Don't be the creek

or the river

following the path

of least resistance.

Be the ocean 

that takes it all in.


Be neither valley

nor mountain

but the highland

that lies between.


Be the moon

Gaze deep into my eyes and you will see
Stare into my soul and you will know
You will know the hell I have endured
You will know the heartache I carry
You will know burden of forced charm
These eyes have seen atrocities committed
by seemingly mild-mannered family men
Car accidents

Talk to you? Are you crazy?

Do you think that I don't know what you do with my words?

You're a f*#@ing verbal contortionist!

I already know this!

I own no sense of privacy between you and I

Didn't I make this clear to you?

No trust exists no proof that you won't betray
