Spinal Tap

6 hours of slow drip reminder.
Dull pain, numb hands, and confusion.
Fog in my head,
can't get out of bed.
A hug from a demon who visits every couple weeks and stays for a day or two.
Invisible illness and insecurity about interval intensity.

Exsanguination

Every time I start to climb out of the hole
Archons pull me back at the speed of light
toward the abysmal memory foam at the bottom.
Some frolicking genie tramples on my fingertips
on their way to grant a wish to someone more deserving.

Microscopic

Miny things are very cool to me
I love looking at how strange it is sometimes
Could i use all my money to get microscopic things
Right, but it cost money
Only downside is i would be in crippling debt
So in order to not go into debt i have to...

Found

A fair heart once found
In a place of darkness and fear
Sought a peace
That could only come from love

A fair heart once hurt
From a lover's betrayal
Sought to hurt
That would only ease his own pain

A fair heart once broken
From a...

What OCD means to me

I haven’t figured you out just yet, Whether you are harmless or a threat.
You always have to be in control and it has definitely taken its toll.
I have no choice but to do it and the same way each time, to do it differently just feels like a...

IN A SURREALIST DREAM


A familiar, suffocating mass of uneventfulness drastically overwhelms everything. It's chewy, stretchy, and chewy, which sticks everywhere. Compromising betrayal is already rotting on the creaky donkey ladders of careers. Visceral career desires...

Steel Bars

All the hate they gave me
Made it so easy to give in return
How I truly felt inside
Was not a main concern
To me or to them
The hate grew on
Anger in my heart so strong
Knowing I was not where I belong
So blind to who I truly am

The man by the lake

"Do you have a family?"
I asked him,
The man by the lake.

"I had a father,"
He answered, in his usual monotone.
"Alexander."

"Why do you call him by his first name?"
I asked him.

"He adopted me,"
He answered.

I did not ask anymore...

A stream of glass.

The stream of glass. 

I see dreams of you and your blue eyes too, and streams of glass. This cannot last. Then I see a ring of gold that can't be sold and daffodils on a lilac hill. I think to myself, I will give her a whirl! I see your golden...

Memorial Day

At the tower, midnight glare of an NVG in a distant stare,
Smell of cigarette smoke in the desert breeze we share,
Posted for a little while chatting up while listening,
Handling a browning that hits like a gavel rapting,
Unknown bogie, quick...

Where Most Young Folks Are At

As a writer of nonfiction.
With a taking of poetic liberties.
Taking what I observe to see.
Seldom do I express an opinion.
Given thoughtlessly.
And I must admit,
There are times I could use fiction.
But...
In these tumultuous days we live...

The Other Side

I was sitting on the edge of the lake
when I met someone.

He was staring at the lake,
emotionless,
monotone.

I did not like him
because he was boring,

But I talked to him anyway.

I found things out,
From the emotionless fellow,

Christian Consistency

Look carefully at how you walk,
Not as unwise but as wise;
Making the best as you talk,
Days of evil full of lies.

Redeem time days are evil,
Not foolish in what you do;
Heed to avoid the devil,
Understanding what is true.

Perceive the...
