The Storm
1-16-12
Slowly falling down
Beneath thy smile a broken frown
The bright in one’s eyes
Shades over and dies
Silence covers thy mouth
Drawing mind to a forbidden south
Ears strain to listen
All that’s heard Is words of sin
Hands reach for the star
Though seem too far
Clouds of sin fog one’s vision
Shielding warmth of bright sun
Thy blood runs cold
Smiling warmth no longer taking hold
Words of fear scar thy tongue
Spitting venom at those minds yet young
Dark clothing drapes thy skin
Fading away from kin
Cries not seen clouds thy eyes
The you that once was dies
Watching as old dreams fade
Thy believe this must be paid
Is this thy end?
Or will thee find a friend?
To share the thoughts that kill
Surely this must be thee will?
Memories~

Today is just a day
Another dream gone a fray,
A thought of life,
Scarred and Stained-
But who am I anyway?
Who is it that walks the streets in search of something;
In search of anything, everything-
Am I just a memory,
Floating on eternity,
With knowledge so precious,
A mind so cautious;
And an existence so
Dull?
Who am I, who am I, who am I-
Am I just here,
To learn and to love and to be,
Close to the ones who are near?
But what if I want more,
What if I have given up this chore-
I'll scream my lungs out so that one might,
Hear me in my flight-
A memory is all I am,
A memory of knowledge so dull,
A mind so full,
And a love so damn.

My thoughts, circling.
My mind, hurting.
Will it ever end?
I try to speak my mind, but it seems my lingo is lost on the ears of every passerby.
Can I only speak with cryptic text?
Why, thoughts, do you deter me so!
Such a quandary, a confined space, with no mercy.
I can't break free.
No matter what I do, no matter how I say it, it's always the same.
Lost in the Limbolic nature of my mind.
Do you understand, or is this, too, undefined?

Vivid, sweaty, hot body- liquid oozing, wet inducing, oh so woozy heat-
Indeed, silent plea, to unbind my knees, and enter me~ passion, frenzy, flee~ palpitating glee! Anticipation hurries south, never could amount, as haunting as this hunt- Cupid, mercy, Wolf- blood and pain is sure; too pure: not at all! Innocence is as children be, and I the horrid wretch~ come tame my ruined heart, or say Goodbye to Me!

My Mind, Raped
By Words that Patronize
I, contorted, smile and nod
While, beneath, I'm fuming
With an Unkept Rage
Kindled by your Ignorance;
And yet, I buckled, beneath the weight
Of Words
And now, I struggle, between Obey:
And Answer to None.

Dismayed, enraged, out of range-
Dismayed, enraged, in a cage-
My mind seems to pop and snap
Little cells withering away
Little lives tethered to mine, wasted
What am I doing Here?
Numb, cold, lost- no Voice
Stringent, struggle, faltering- Vice
Where is Victory in This?
Everything blurs as time moves ever onward, and I, like a deer, simply stand
Dismayed
Friendless Fool
9-7-18 15:01
Leaping to converse like some
desperate beggar
Avidly engaged with words;
Then, I remember myself
The sudden realization pulls me back
To Reality
'Who am I to say Hello?
Does she even realize,
I'm a Friendless Wolf,
A Mouse,
An Outcast.'
Then she sees it,
For her words stop,
And my eagerness melts,
With each fading silence,
And I begin to wonder the point;
Apt to try again,
I turn to her, but she is Gone;
Tail between my legs, I follow abjectly,
But Her Friends Crow around Her
And I'm left in the Shadows
Like some Homeless Beggar
Sniveling for Scraps of Words
Only to be met with Silence
Foolish is I Who Dreams
1-18-19 05:00
the day arises
as the sun sets
where night contends the day
and the moon devours the sky
foolish is I who dreams
careless is I who loves
foolish and careless
heartled and wretched
Lover of Dreams
night devours the day devours the night
dreams become my day
as I forsake myself for the night
mares
for I belong to them
as they whisper their promises
that they will never ever keep
I belong to they
who will always forsake me
love me
and hate me
the night devours the dreams devours the day
if ever a fool ‘tis I
for I’ve loved and lost within the same breath lostness lover wandering dreams
carelessly hoping
ever wondering
as the night devours my mind as my dreams forsake the day
foolish is I whose lover
Is never what he seems
Never Mine

I spin a line, I spin a web, and wonder why, I’m in debt
I flip a coin, I drift along, and ponder when, I’m alone
I carry on, a measured mind, and wander where, never mine
I skip a beat, a hapless feat, and flounder here, among my mare
-
I keep in line, I never dare, and thinking there, I’m always scared
I leave today, a hopeless road, and feeling how, I’m in doubt
I get the rhyme, I bid the time, and looking up, among the muck
I weave the lace, a threadbare heart, and shutting down, torn apart
I spool a line, I spew a lie, and wonder where, I’m defined
I find a tool, I am adrift, and finding folly, among the shift
I drop it off, a maddened mine, and wander why, never mind
I beat my heart, a hopeless art, and blinded by, a foolish lie
Strung Upon these Broken Bones
6-26-21 20:41, 20:44
To be left alone with your thoughts
To have them pound against your brain
Talking of the things that were
Taunting you with the pain
To see you in a crowd again
To hope to hear your voice
Only for the faces there
To stare without a noise
To be standing at the edge of a cliff
To be screaming my heart out loud
To be asking god what’s the point
When there’s no one left around
The sinking feeling at the dead of night
When the crickets mourn the day
And you’re stuck inside your mind
And then you wish to pray
You hope and plead to a god
You still do not believe
Yet the sinking is so vast
It’s all that’s left to fake
Then you find you’re lost inside
Lost inside a fading mind
Lost among the ghosts and ghouls
A simple, ugly, wanton fool
And then you feel the knowing now
The dreadful truth that the soul somehow
Strung upon these broken bones
Will always be alone
I oft wonder who I am

I oft wonder who I am
I never dared to greet my soul
It laughs a song I’ve come to know
About a life I hadn’t lived
It speaks a language I cannot hear
It splinters with a flagrant fear
And never have I ventured far
Nor as I’ve sunk beneath the dark
Thought to grasp my spirit lost
In the shadow of a soul I’ve not
