THE VIEW

Look at me I'm shivering

Look at me I need you

The stirring of this strangeness
Has left me without words

The magnitude of magic
The silence from the screams

Look at me I'm broken

Look at me I'm hard

The beating of my heartache
Has filled another space

The peculiarness of permanence
The frustration from myself

Look at me I'm skeptical

Look at me I'm valued

The pot of irony boils over
Has the smoke began to clear

The view becomes reality
The picture of you is clear

A ME

Laugh at what your eyes see,
I know your wrong, don't you agree.
My hair not just right, the face to fat,
But I got the balls, so you can swallow that.

I slam my fist down on the table,
I say, you, what I do.
Brother, you ain't no way near able,
To cope with what's left of you.

Make a fun,
Drown a sun,
Kill the spirit in a me all.

Make a fun,
Drown a sun,
Watch a me fade into the wall.

Can't I learn the only lesson,
Must I force this person to be on.
I'm so tired of being pushed down,
Ready to grow up from this town.

Maybe I'll slip into a different frame,
Breathe a brand new air.
Or would it just be the same,
Maybe I just shouldn't care

Make a fun,
Drown a sun,
Smother a me tonight.

Make a fun,
Drown a sun,
Throw away a me from fright.

OBLIVION

I'm all colors

I'm your oblivion

To find what your need,
Or get lost in

Feel every colors vibrancy,
understand the life in me

This castle of ice has been set ablaze

Fire and ice mixed to amaze

The heart of this home,
Is beating for you

It will gallop, or race
It's been tried and it's true

Feet don't fail me

I come with grace and sincerity.

THREE FOLD

Three fold is a heavy load

Feeling full
More food for soul

Thoughts dont shift
To halo's and angels

All knotted up
With the twists and the tangles

Three time over
I've been scourned

Three times over
I have mourned

Voices tell me
They are proud
But
I'm hearing shit
That's not allowed

LOVE & LOATHE

She demands of me
Everything

Sometimes I love
What she's giving

Sometimes she loathes
The life she's living

Ready for the slow and steady

Love shouldn't be hard or heavy

Unmistakable connections

She is trying
To show her affections

Now everything
Is on the line

Time to grow
A backbone
A spine

Left with a love
That's undeniable

This love I know
Is reliable

She demands of me
Everything

Sometimes I love
What she's giving

Sometimes she loathes
The life she's living

Caught between
A rock and a hard place

She can see
What's written on my face

Catch a glimpse
Of her crooked grin

She wonders
Who's skin
She's been living in

SAY AWAY

Here I am
With drink in hand
And here is where I will stay

Fumes flog my brain
Till it drives me insane
And it will
Until the next day

Say! Don't you take my crutch away
Say! Don't you take my crutch away

My face stinks
Of too many drinks
And it is said
That life must go on

But is this it
I don't seem to fit
Just have to wait till the next dawn

Say! You really threw my mind away
Say! You really threw my mind away

I feel so old
My soul I have sold
So young but yet I'm so gray

For what it's worth
I dislike mother earth
I just seem to get in her way

Say! Don't you wish you could put me away
Say! Don't you wish you could put me away

Can't go no more
My body so sore
Give anything if I could get straight

No sense in trying
I'll just end up crying
So this must be my fate

Say! You've finally taken all hope away
Say! You've finally taken all hope away

So, here I am

LUCKY KARMA

It is said
that some believe
luck
good or bad
comes in three's

It is also said
that things happen for a reason
I'll give you a reason
Karma

Karma doesn't need one
she's a bitch

She travels in circles
she doesn't forget it
you won't see her coming
no one sees her eclecticness

Traveling with baggage
my best guess
working with Fate
her only repetiveness

The Con'S

Disenchanted

Lost my candor
Slipped under
my lack of manners

Staffed
Flogged
Fluffed up a bit

By your words spoken
I'm lit up
I quit

Beware of the characters
That pass through your abode

For the markings and claims
They have dropped
Will erode

Just as pieces crumble
They will combust

Not much time
Till this picture
Will try to
Frame us

Suicidal Spell

Days
when magic is in the air
Days
When the lonely stop and stare

Look at my reflection
What do you see
Despair
In the grips of reality

I can walk this plank
Its the best I can do
I swear these words
Are strong and true

In the flames
I sees your deepest thoughts
We are caught
As if in pandoras box

There's no where
We can run or hide
The last step is

Suicide

For Sarcasm'S Sake

Cook down the sarcasm
Boil to a tease

Cut the tension with a chainsaw
Teeth grind to end unease

Pencil sharpened
only to break again
Pen explodes
With spite and a wicked grin

I break him in two
For the direction.s on top
Suggested that clue

A true detective
sniffs around for a dick
I would tell him
But that would minimize his manhood

Not yet realized
The glasses colored rose
The rue of a flower
So petaled
it can not afford to get fleas

A beast of my past lifes burden
The elephant so emphatic

HYPNOTIZE

HYPNOTIZE
 

 
Leave me
Let me be
I won't take part in your disparity
 
Separated
Always on edge
This side of life
They call the ledge
 
Guarded
 by my own desire
Burning
In my own damn fire
 
Outstretched limbs
The tree of
Me
Falling
In to this cavity
 
Emotions
All have been cooked down
Left
On the path to
Pity Town
 
For they did not belong to me
When did I commit a robbery
 
A high jacked hell of
 razorblades
Can't this judgement be delayed
 
On trial for my past transgressions
Not asked
But offered
Extreme suggestions
 
Conspire
I would never do such sort
Inspire
When of this did I abort
 
Creativity
My
creature child
That lives inside me
Running wild
 
Records tell of ages past
Of spells
These so called
Witches cast
 
A brew concocted
 from
Lust and Fear
 
A potion I could
Never steer
 
I say the time is
Now
or
Never
 
Might break my back
On
This endeavor
 
Close your eyes
Count to ten
 
When you wake you won't
Remember
A
Thing
 
 

PERPLEXING

PERPLEXING

 
The ABC's of you and me
A ride with such perplexity
 
The starving heart no longer will fast
For even the loneliest mold could cast
 
It's taken on a shape and form
Not to exclude the most forlorn
 
Beauty beats it's way from within
Found beneath a sheep's shorn skin
 
Answers leave you second guessing
Take it as a fucking blessing
 
Knowledge
Power
Ignorance
Bliss
A kind of stupidity I know remiss
 
Blindsided by a sign
Made from cupids destructive design
 
Forget the talk it's mostly chatter
Talk you up then pull out the ladder
 
Rung by rung you've wrung your neck
Forgive yourself for what you wreck
 
The ABC's of you and me
A ride with such perplexity

DELIVERY

DELIVERY






I await thee delivery of
 me
high hopes sit
precariously

For I had packed my love
separately
aside
from my arsenal of weaponry

Sedated
by my left hand
spreading my ash upon the sand

Mind rampantly wondering
is this the end
I'm plundering

Sketched in the sky
my name
I  spoke aloud with such strain

Feeling like a
 worn out
 roady soaked denim jacket
Heavy with the weight
of all my habits

Save me
Soothe me
Silence me

for once

Your job description can change 
as fast as your lunch came up

SKINNY LOVE

SKINNY LOVE

Filtered facades 
Fall from grace
You should of saw the look upon your face
I tried to grasp you
keep you safe
You slipped right through
You beautiful waif
This may be the keeping of the peace
Or unleash
A horrific beast
The tipping of my hand
Freed the aces up my sleeve
Kept you guessin
I believe.

SHELTER

SHELTER

All that I never thought I wanted,
Has come around full circle, now confronted.

It now is useful to me,
As long as I umbrella my empathy.

I've been sick, been sad,
I've been confused, been mad.

I see wisdom I can not explain,
My subconscious lock never came.
LET ME SHINE

I wrote my name and number
The ink began to fade
I dare not walk the street
I disappear in the shade
The mirror shows no reflection 
Cause the bill has not been paid
So I whisper these words
Hoping to be saved
God
Keep me off my knees
Keep the tears from my eyes
I'm asking you please
Give me heart to survive
Put the daylight in front of me
The shadows behind
Strip away the sorrow
And
LET ME SHINE
I wrote my name and number
The ink flared bright red
And when I walk down the street
Everyone must turn their head
The mirror shows no reflection
except the brilliance of the glare
So I whisper these words
Knowing that he cares.

AMEN

AMEN


I am at the thinest part of my thick,
I've been around and back that quick.

Realizing my boundaries are boundless
For once I am anything but groundless

Past the part of trying to explain
When you look at me you see sane

I smell the sweetness of success
With every sin that I confess.
