Forever

I look upon you
Take your soul by desire
And stay forever

Chasing Dreams In The Night

Running from the image of you
chasing a dream so dark
it seems the light is escaping
leaping shadows
pass in front of my heart
making me doubt
the existence of dawn

because its been so long...
since I looked into honest eyes.

been so long...
since I've seen clear skies.

and its been so long...
since I felt your surprise.

when all love has ever been
was a clever disguise
for rage building inside
corrupting our hearts and minds
blinding us to the irony

of our catastrophe
the beauty and the mastery
of life's intricately woven tapestry
and fraying at the ends of my sanity

is my desire to be set free
from the demons that haunt me
images from a past that forgot me...

PLEASE GOD GET THEM OFF ME!

I just want to be...

...ALONE...

...alone...

All I hear are the echoes
of the dripping of memories
pooling and shifting...
draining....
into the very being of me...

whispers of clearing skies
whispers of love and giving
all my believing meaning
while I search beyond scars and seeing
that there is nothing here worth keeping
just forward moving leaving
needless junk in heaping
piles of tears, hopes, and bleeding...
Who needs them?
I stagger forward toward
a dim ray of light
while shadows pass
crossing my sight
head bent forward
I tread on dark night
never stumbling in my fight

...boxing shadows in my flight...
...away from you...
...while chasing my dreams in the night....

...Draining...

I'm just a Virgo chaotic poet
devoted to my own words
that surged through the gateway
of my own mind unheard
by the pen that spilled ink...
I never really took the time to think
if these lines stink
or soared to new brinks...
I'm just trying to avoid shrinks
and drink to the harmonious vibes that blink
in and out of my mind then sink
to new depths I never thought my lines could reach
I push free speech to allow missteps and misspeaks
because I always found that perfection is boring
always ignoring the beauty of mystique
by lack of creative entropy
my lines like lives are always survived
by conniving wives
and I'm lucky to be alive with all this hype
lucky that you and I wasn't the right type
2 sets of chromosomes 9 months and one night
am I only here to walk through fire?
dance through your flames and smile
3rd degree burns only hurt awhile
compared to the acid in my throat the bile
from having to stare back at your lying smile...

but its ok... I can take it...

put on a smile of my own and fake it
slip the nightmare over my sight, remake it
this feeling of deceiving I just cant shake it
what little trust I had in love is now fading

...but like I said... It will be ok...

maybe you will love me tomorrow
like you did yesterday

maybe all of this sorrow
will melt and drain away

maybe I'll fade...
...changing...

...finding a new wave length
to use and sail away...

...Maybe...

Pull String Clown

Once upon a time I felt
A seething hatred dressed in silk
I spent too much time dreaming
night time quakes images seething
Frozen memories trapped within insanity
Raw nightmares naked with no vanity
Taunting fellow dreamers haunts
Leaving only the dead to question
Consciousness with a poor connection

Winking away pain
Only to resurface
With better clarity
A charity held
For my good dreams
Barely enough
To fill one cup
Runeth over on rugs
Staining the floor
With bright red blood
An ocean a flood
Solidifying my reality in mud
And tear drops dropping
There's no stopping
the thoughts when they come
just the sadistic quick
emotionally equipped
to strip
all of my life away

What can I say?
Spoken words can't keep
Demonic thoughts at bay
I want to run away
But sooner or later
My head will have to lay
Eyes sewn shut
By visual men of sand
Sprinkling bad memories
Erasing the conscious "I am"

Dark Lullabies tempting
Silky sirens unrelenting

"The whispers come louder
when my thoughts are hazy
the taunts and the laughter
when they say I'm crazy...
I collapsed on the path

...the road to no where's fading...

I manifested these thoughts
that came to enslave me"

AHHHH

Bouncing off walls with black paint
With quaint little hieroglyphs
Shifting and bending
Contorting into unfriendly images
No 666 its just different
Than minds sickened
by nightmare conditions
Drifting off to insanity quick
Like...
super-kala-fraga-lis-tic
its sick
This shits ridiculous
Murdering draw string clown
Coming conspicuous
I'm the opposite I frown
Pulling my draw string around
My own neck
And the sound
my body hits the ground
Pulling on my draw string
and laughs go all around

HAHAHAHA

Humiliated suicide
Goes far beyond the tears I cried
And my burned out existence ignites the flames
Consuming my humanity with all of my rage
Looking back with ashy sight
I realize my day is fading to night
The sunshine never seems to be enough
To dry the glue around my heart
And as the chilly night corrupts
My image of you falls completely apart
As the darkness fills the void
From a hand me down heart destroyed
I look upon the night time sky
Hearing the whispers that come with a sigh...

"The whispers come louder
when my thoughts are hazy
the taunts and the laughter
when they say I'm crazy..."

No sand bags as thoughts flood...

No sand bags, as thoughts flood… grasping futilely at the inconsistency of dark waters, the anger and the sorrow, from long dead fathers, and the rot… within the embankments, I’m caught, drowning in between a life raft and a yacht…

In this land there are no sand bags just water you can’t drink a thirst that came first and madness on the brink of washing away all the sanity left within me…

My thoughts flow like blood from veins red with rage with no one around when the flood waters came they made for higher ground and how profound that the flood waters came to destroy YOUR little town… no sand bags for thought but my logic is sound… you fair weathered bitches I hope all of you drown!

Thoughts pool around the cracks in my heart freezing on contact and breaking apart wash away the heartache the pain and the grief a relief from my minds rain pouring with sadness over a life lived in madness…

As my thoughts come pouring out and away with no bags to stop them I’ll simply say… good bye to smiles, goodbye to cries, good bye to sanity, and goodbye to goodbyes… I can’t live in a broken heart and my minds too slippery to hold… I’ll simply exist… in empty darkness… cold.

Hearts at half mast

I warm myself by the fires of my burning rage
finding comfort that I can still feel the hot flames
scorching my inner being…

better rage than empty believing…
even though I'm blind to the darkness
beyond my inner circle of illumination
I can still imagine the demons that lurk
pulling my strings from beyond my limited sight…
an inner being of emptiness
deeper than blackened night.
But still I try…

painting smiles and staying awhile
while the darkness and unknown call my name…
I'm still the same
ever changing from the day you met me
until the day you left me…

I'm still hiding behind my face turned up
with a mind burnt up
and a heart torn up
I'm sorry I was born not meaning to interrupt
just fallible and corrupt
a being of ignorance from a universe thrown up
but now that I'm grown up

I'm constantly dumb founded
mind boggled and surrounded
by hatred unfounded
with your egos this worlds just too crowded..

not meaning to be mean
but its all that I see
when I look in the mirror
the lines on my face coming clearer
from fear that your…

going to need some relief
from the leaf don’t you see?
That your memory of me
is all there will be
when I walk on egg shells so fucking precariously…

trusting so dangerously
when I can scarcely be
imagining things
when you're dragging your feet
On the road, on the street

Emotional scaring made by road rash
Playing catch up on life's path
Ignoring those around you
And moving too fast…
Your pace just wont last…
You'll end it with a blast
Gambling with the die that God cast
We are all beings of ignorance
When your hearts at half mast...

Wilting...

I kill myself slowly day after day
walking through life like tomorrow is guaranteed
working and slaving for green paper greed.

My five year plan is a comedy show
where I'm the only one that laughs…
trying to find something creative
to engrave upon my epitaph.

Black walls around me and blue skies a memory
I chase feathers in the wind with my minds eye
even though I do get by I still see the lack… the void… the try…

when will it be enough for me?
Black walls still keep me warm
when the wind blows to hard too chase feathers…

my thoughts fall like rose petals…
dancing with the motion of the fall…
wilting when I pluck them from the ground
and crumbling between my fingers.
How quaint… how meager…
with no windows to look though
I do not need to see her…

lady light… giving me more blossoms
to wilt with my creating hands.
I wish to caress one petal of a black rose
and drop it into the still waters of my formless dreams
riding the ripples to the edges of my own wilting existence.
