I’m Being Polite

I scrambled at my hope I was searching for some rope To bind myself & keep these thoughts at bay. I scrambled for some rope And searching for my hope Exhausted, my eyes opened after what felt like forever days. I scrambled with no hope Searching not for rope But seeking freedom from your writhing ways. I…

Egg

We both went out running We didn’t know where to We both tried at lulling But the sound bit back through Blood filled the mead Iron let to feed The rest of us to a crippling disease We both went out talking We didn’t know who to The words came out jumbled As it was…

Seraphim

Wind lifted your dress Shone light on your flesh Enthused my unrest I yearned for pilgrimage To love every inch of you Hold long in to you, lest. You saw my suit And gave in to couth Let in to the mess Held by grace & finesse Unraveling my truth Held between nail & tooth…

Pills cheap thrills

Tonight I take the easy way out Tonight we take the fall I flopped & kicked & screamed & I Had nothing left to call I let out anger, wrongs, & all Into vacant space in walls And still no end to bout This flood, your flood encased me all These ghosts still carry clout…

Pandora’s Box

These knees tremble and quake Struggle, yet keeping the pace While eluding the wake of exhumed remains Climb calling awake The stillness I’d made in my heart Time now is not for breathing Who wonts for believing? What of the comfort in seething? Anger in heeding Hand-selected clips to carry us blind into hours succeeding…

Those That Do Bloom

Your justified actions of empty transactions For now, I will let you believe But know this is truth That a lotus does bloom Chooses bravely to loom In the depths of dark water’s past leaves Lend your statistics I hear your ballistics As you cower and force to upheave This life how it breathes and…

Sliver of Greed

I want it, I need it Lend me your ear Here I am  your old friend Remember the cheer The beer that we spilled The dance, we’d revere I want it, I need it friend give me your ear Inhale then swill Life’s too easy Let me handle this bill My friend, my fool You wanted me here…

Fertile Ground

My journey breathes me alive Revived Ready to meet & greet the others Filled with life Dancing in these shifty streets The weight of labor meets the feet Ground, pulling out from beneath The rhythm in these pulsing beats Not for living lonely in these Systematic laid out retreats Caravans pour out music in heaps…

Before you wake up

Do not fret, my dear For I am always near The path is arduous, long And here I assure There’s nothing you should fear Do not fret For I am near Time, it takes Just keep the pace This path unbreaks Breeds love we’ve long revered This road, it shakes It pulls & quakes But…

Lernaean Hydra

I came in & sank All the way down Down to the very ground I had huffed & puffed my way through the day Fumbling for any words to say A churning in my gut and it’s dismay Still, “stay steady” Trust relayed. Tread on bright roads Heed clear signs I followed carefully, inching forward…

What were you?

I am your friend But this one way street Must now dead end Those girls on your screen Get more time than I’ve ever seen In years. I am your friend You know what that means? There’s more than Sharing a bed To justify your Crippling relent A friend is more than a fuck, you…

Sirens

The mornings are the bleak Engulfed in my defeat The light shines, beckons, and calls And I sink and I bury Try to fall deeper into these sheets Who knew the mornings Would bring new life And I I could fight it As you would see I’m stuck in this wild light fantasy Living in…
