Of harping misfortunes hidden behind a knowledge eye;
Their sorrows are of nocturnal winds blowing the roofs,
Passing in a same dirge in ancient eyes weary and irksome.

What to say, when you're all out of breath
What to do, when you're so close to death
How do you live on, when the machine says you won't
When your family says do, but the doctors say don't

I'd Go back to a time
A time when I was young
So careless and free
When all that seemed to matter
Only mattered to me

In a same line;forthright with stern contempt
Making way for a rebukation then I sigh
The inevitable amiss I cannot avoid myriad to count.

Newly sprung with a stagnate year;
I picture evocations of reminisced mirth
We re-lived yesterday with high humour.

a morosed soul
a stifled spirit
he loiters on the decrepit lot
ransacking peckishly for hoard
donned with sleazy drabs
slumbering in curbs and culverts
the morrow mundane with stagnancy
beseeching their modus operandi
hovering the prospects their status quo
to them a siver-lining is but a reverie
hope a four letter word
tranced in gutter wretched for ever
trill`ng dirges mock their faculty
the living dead
the dead weight
the loafers
the smouldering pyres
all span marked to ruin
...signifying nothing.

My catalyst.
My lack of strength,
I deem you Melissa –
For the one who brought me to this party,
Then disappeared
And left me here alone.
How did I let you become so important
To allow myself to choose this,
To turn to something I'd never –
Something I'd always viewed with disgust?
And even still,
It's disgusting
And dirty
And beneath me.
And now I am what I disgust.
I let it seep in,
And now it's in my skin,
Under my skin
It got in.

I think you found my missing poem,
An accident I assure you,
And now you're reading me all wrong.

Eager
Far too eager
Sliding into the empty barstool
Beside me

Am I good enough, am I happy, or am I better off dead
Sometimes I can't control these thoughts that take over my mind
To others they seem so silly, but to me my sanity is on the line

Petrified, peculiar and punctual
She was there
Night after night
Same dark room
At the same damn time
