30/M/U.S.A If you want to know about me, read my poetry.
I am a simple mind. Striving to survive. My own intentions. I'm not one of a kind. Just the only one alive. I've no dimension. Some say that I am blind. But somehow I survive. Inside reflection. Once upon a time. My body was alive. But now it seems to be just an extension of my will and a prevention of my own perverse pretension. And all I ever wanted was direction.

God of My Sins
These tragedies that we've called love Are now anything but Now that these winding, painful paths have crossed We've been led into each other And now it is you It is your eyes I see when I close mine It is your voice I hear when the cacophony of the world dies down It is your skin I feel pressed on mine In the darkness of the night Yours is the absence I feel now Exquisitely and reverentially For the end of this absence Your absence Brings your embrace Brings your lips to mine If only for a moment This moment is... This moment is eternal

This Moment is Eternal
Relegated to a realm of torture. Destined for automated descent. Initiated into the rights of torment. Loneliness is inborn. Congenital corrosion of cathartic dreams. Forever fatal is... Forever fatal is... Ruinous. Led to the shores of cognitive dissonance. Decaying notes of common dissent. Pulsing cacophony with desolate resonance. Strumming the strings of this malcontent. Forever fatal is... Forever fatal is... Ruinous.

Ruinous
You're a dream That crawled into my bed And never came true You're a laugh About to burst into tears What you are Is vague And beautiful

Beautiful
I've been searching for a metaphor in your eyes that does not reside there Searching for the words to express the beauty of your being in a language not yet invented You are the metaphor You are the language I've written poems in your meter and rhythm on the small cracks in my heart No form no structure does justice You are free of form so I write to you in the freedom that you are the freedom that you've given There are things we cannot see nor say But in you, they are seen In you, they are said You are the direction faced when I pray The prayer and what is prayed for The question and the answer Pouring over every word Searching for perfection I've come to realize I've been searching for a metaphor In your eyes The existence of which cannot be seen In such a small and subtle beauty You are the metaphor It is in everything you are You are the poetry I've always wished to write.

Searching for a Metaphor
My ego swells As time fortells My every last contrivance. So self-aware My inner stare It lends to me a silence. Oh, what a toll To feel my soul Scrape against the hollow. And so alone With piercing tone With no god left to follow. As moral sense Constructs a fence That soon becomes a wall. To keep away The social fray And bring growth to a stall. We need the fight To bring to light The darkness of our hearts. To fill the hole Left in our soul When we let myth depart. We don't evolve When left to solve A fiction erred as fact. A book of lies To close our eyes As common sense is sacked. The demon priest Not yet deceased Still holds most in his grasp. But he shall see. There's no more need For clinging to the past. We shall rise against your lies. We shall open up our eyes. And see the truth.

Seeing Truth
Handfull of flower petals Bloodstains and twisted metal Force-fed inebriation Bright lights, strange floatation Wanted more No more now Wanted more No more now Thoughtless rain falls unending Thoughtless pain, no pretending Present tense, future hollow Here today, lost tomorrow No more now No more now No more now No more now Run free and I'll protect you I swear I won't neglect you Run now. They may select you Run now, they may dissect you Run from this place of horrors Labyrynthine corridors Creatures of four and four Step through each and every door Know more now No more now Know more now No more now Far from the place of colors Far from sisters and brothers Handfull of flower petals Bouquet of when we settled First and last day together Taken away forever Know more now...

Handful of Flower Petals
Ashtray full of ill at ease Sugar highs and nicotine Caffeine frantic ******* scene Adrenaline and dopamine Depleted of the best of me More and more and more is sure To bring us back to where we were Keep the word flow Fast and slow Please don't, please don't, please don't go Let's sing and dance, this circus show

Chemical Circus
Sick and tired lazy eye. Cold and breezy morning. Nothing left to smoke at all. And no check for a few more hours. I'm trying very hard today. To be as honest as ever. I feel the strange and bitter wind. It feels a little better than before. Nearly cried a couple times. Watching stupid flicks. Self-induced insomnia. ****** with no plants of my own. Please go to sleep so I can rob you. I'd hate to ask again. And there's an imposition downstairs. So I can't rob him. I'll make a bit of coffee. I'll have to wash a mug. Because you neglected your responsibility. Once again. And I have no end nor patience.

Half Asleep
I love this new cold autumn breeze Falling rain and changing leaves Everything this season means I love this new cold autumn breeze I feel the free and flowing fall Surround me in the chilly wind Winding all around my mind I feel the free and flowing fall I need the change of mood this brings The sullen, somber sadness sings A stranger sort of peace it brings The sullen, somber sadness sings The grey of winter soon to be A darker season soon to be But autumn is here, it's here for me Until the winter comes for me The summers past With all its sun And finally my autumn has come my autumn is here, it's here for me Until the winter comes for me
