Do(n’t) feed me

I abhor violence but I swear to god if you rattle my cage, I will lose whatever restraint I have. I want to blast a hole in the fabric of the universe or harness this fury and take this cage some...

Please...

I need someone to listen very carefully. Take me to the edges of the world. And hold my hand without a word. While I unleash this bottomless scream. I feel like I’m going to implode My body be...

Garbage day

Take me out. Out to the curb. Curb your expectations. I’ll always let you down. Down here’s where we eat. Eat our just desserts. ———— Feasting on the bones of who I used to be Leave me hungr...

There's no free

No, do not pass Go There’s no money here No, you can’t roll again There’s no luck here No, this isn’t me There’s no ego here No, this isn’t for you There’s no solace there

Different strokes

It’s the little things. There’s the things you hear, that slide and drop down into your ear. There’s the things you can see, little jabs meant just for me. I’m not going anywhere friend, I’m a st...

Slammin Sideways

When the midnight oil has burnt out And nothing is left, save the wick Find me in the darkness And I’ll lead you back To where you never belonged When noon leaves no shadow And the sun reddens o...

Last tooth on the left

Pictures are worth a thousand words So I figure you owe me At least a million apologies Ill spit in one hand Wish in the other Hoping against hope? Don’t fucking bother.

I can even, you can odd

There’s a time and a place for everything You had your 15 minutes in the lime Now set your phasers from stun to kill Cause I’m coming for you, by hook or crook And I can’t lose your scent when i...

Salsa dancing without

Feet burning holes on this empty dance floor I keep dancing while you squeal for more Sweat beads, left foot leads, love recedes Cool palms press together as you clap your hands Never really inte...

Look at my sky

There’s billions of stars All of them falling over themselves Each one eager to make a wish On a soul burning from inside Seven billion pinpricks of heat Countless people too caught up And all...

A Swelling Swell

A crimson flow from down below Sends up red flags, I’m sure you know That the grass is never greener Only leaves you bitter and meaner Trodden under foot Smashed by the weight Of countless tim...

Thunder Throat

Thunder rumbles from my throat Worried you didn’t see the smoke? Lightning cracks behind my back I’d jump but the ropes got no slack A terrific weight that’s held me down Carrying a starving past...

1K Cuts

And what it means to me Eyes peeled, all pain see And I know you can’t let it be Sadness a flavor to savor Beating wings against the cage Rats all living on rage residue Testing everything on the...

A Stitch In Time

If you’re thinking of me Let me save you some time I’m everything you want to be Your gut can’t read road signs Blinders on, pedal to the metal A full screaming ride That you can’t step off Wave...

Trip and Fall

Black over white Pains not bright Enough to carry A hung jury No ones innocent Who bothers repent When the crimes confined And nary a sad bemoan Comes from that place Born in the green space Col...

A Queasy Seabreeze

Experiments run amok Not bad or good, just luck But you’d be hard pressed To find me less impressed By round of applause Tell me how you feel Pressing palms to the sky Raising lips that can’t lie...

Harshish

Mounting pressure like a horny basset hound Baying at a full, blood red moon How many more times can I trick myself By pretending to throw love and acceptance While truly having nothing in hand? ...

That good Sad poem!

Another slap across my face Feelings bleeding into space Pain blossoms orange crimson While dead limbs rest on pins A heavy burden I’ve become Just another inconvenience A fresh stain on your old...

Winning for Sinning

Cause nobody ever survives This wild ride we call lives Just one foot in front of the other Thinking about caring, don’t bother Save your soft thoughts for someone Deserving of a soft touch No on...

This Sad! Dance

Body heat heartbeat to heartbeat If you never win is it still defeat A struggle to the end to fight for amends To right the wrongs and write the unsung songs Darkness creeps while daylight leaps ...

Je Suis Fatigue

Eyes drooping and lids so heavy This exhaustion hits like a crack in the levee Threatening to break the fragile line Between awake and asleep A twitch and a spasm And I’m back to empty here, empt...

I Miss You

Food to dirt and wine to ash You got your bill, ready to dash Leave your responsibilities behind Forget the fast forward and just rewind To the times you weren’t afraid to live When you were quic...
