Lascivious feel of a man misguided in his triumphs enthralled with his disasters Self-inflicted are the scars Invisible to the eye But he sees them Vague imprint of a face he knew Engraved in his consciousness Chiseled by affection Memory of an effigy Vaulting spasms to the mid It's an infection Struggling for air Desperate to grasp a branch Long since cremated Suffocating infection Chokes him An echo of affection Torments him Cloistering rejection Roots him in place

The Illness of Stale Feelings
The feel of the vehicle, bitter from the night Blue light on the dash Whirring of gears as the glass rolls Eight air fresheners hang loose from the mirror Holding on to your memory Grabbing for the pack of death And lighting another nail in the coffin reticence clawing at his ears The memory of your mirth fueling the fire Indigestion strikes like a knife to the side Held by your slender hand The laughter shared obsesses the heart Beating with such vigor and plight Mind tripping on compromised pasts Tender is the ghoul from the nail Circling his head like a noose Bound by your memory In remembering solace To ease his concern Taking comfort in his rusted cage Seat embracing him Upholstered in stained fabric Shedding light on shadowed nights of old His memory of you fades No longer lancinating No longer choking In taking solace in the void that has become your memory

In Remembering Solace
Day and night One forever chasing the other Elevation to base level Naturally trying to reach that comfortable low Positive and negative Trying to balance the chaos Shadow and light One cannot exist without the other Matter produced in a black hole Still has an anti-matter counter part to settle their chaotic existence Quantum coupling The idea that particles that are smaller than our problems can be linked and effected together in real time You and I We thought this was it We figured the chaos was organized That the day and the night coexisted in a beautiful coalescence That the creek stopped flowing and made a lovely pool to swim in That this black hole called our lives had stopped ******* I assumed things were peachy because you seemed happy But then the moon ran away, the sun to forever chase it A crack formed and the pool began to flow again And that hole called my life began to slowly spin And devour the colors in my days Leaving only black and white And Days and nights

An image of one and the other
Is that it? Are there no more words worth saying? Could it be That all my cuts and gashes Have scabbed? Is that it? Is that where I derive my words? From the old stubborn pain Of a heart in shards? Is my ink not simply My life blood pouring out? Is that it? Is it so sad that I need To hurt in order to spill rhymes? Is it worth it to pick at old wounds Just so I can make a bit of Self indulgent art? Is that it? Does my mind simply become Stagnant when it has no Negative input? Can't I write when I'm full? Can't I write when I'm happy? Can't I write whenever I want, regardless to how you left me? Is that it? A question I asked myself over and over Is that it? The only person willing to listen To my pleas was an inanimate Pad of college rule? Is that it? Is it?

Over Used
Born under Artemus To the mother, Nemesis Born to fight against The hounds of hell Has earned his company In the temple of villainy Has earned his place Among the lore For the lore be written To include the villians For the lore be not a judge To cast shame on him His actions have bound His fate with the hounds His actions will decide Which road to chase Which sends his soul To a heart once his own Which sends his mind Into insanity His state on the plane, A strange domain His state on the dais A pawn to the fates Who allow him to rectify His mistakes in life Who allow the hounds To snap their jaws At the gates of hell With a familiar swell At the gates of Hades With a heart of hatred With a beautiful prize Held up with pride With a beautiful emptiness Caused by vengeance The hounds snap their jaws And click their claws The hounds move aside To grant his passage Into the forever abyss That is born from hate Into the forever His name, Eucledes.

Eucledes
I met an eccentric fisherman today He was five foot five  with a beard Seven foot seven As gant as the pole in his hands And more bronze than my shower taps He had a salty grin and six black teeth 'Ye fancy fish, interior boy?' S sounds whisled 'Aye got one ere for ye then lad' It floundered in my tender land hands It's gills flapped open like window blinds 'Relinquish me boy' 'Wet my skin in the waters of home, And I'll trade a desire for my freedom' I gazed at the fisherman He had disappeared 'Release this fish and I'll grant The deepest wish for ye, small ant. For my power is great' I'm hungry, powerfish I haven't eaten for days Could you give me that? 'A simple wish, a gift most easily given Drop me boy and you'll taste heaven' It floundered Water splashed my face as the fish Swam away from the shore. Where is my meal, oh powerfish? 'Fool hearted boy, simpleton left hungry Never trust fish or else ye angry Enjoy the hunger lad I'm the tastiest fish you could have had!'

Fishing in the wishing well
It's hard to stay hopeful Hopefull hope full Hope The adamant, stubborn desire for something better Or something more And being full of it can leave you Full of **** Who are you kidding? What a joke it must be To maintain hope when staring down shame And dismay But you have to remain hopeful Get a fresh glass of the ambrosia And fill up on hope So much hope that your **** is saturated in dreams And turn that frown upside down Hop in that boat of dreams And sail into the sun Sail into the future Build a mast out of happy And a sail out of positivity And oars to be fashioned from the finest Apple tree And float on with the hot gail Maybe you'll find that distant shore Where hope grows on trees And the smallest fruit fills your dreams

Infusion
On the stool A pedistal for the fool hearted Jilted and the shamed. Made out to be the villian In the drama you named "Life" On the stool, perched and poised To lift one more glass with the boys But they're not here To gaze on him On the stool Head in one hand Brew clenched hard As the few drops left Hit the sandy tongue On the stool Belly full of forgetfulness He stands To **** away his hopes Of being with you Getting accustomed to "Alone" On the stool Consuming another glass or forgotten memories Will he ever leave this place Of shame and disgrace And open the doors to face The cold yet familiar embrace Of failure and be left with the taste Of stale beer and old tobacco?

Humid air and the staleness Of cigarettes
The sands become my tomb As I lay staring At natures mirror Memories invade my gaze The mirror depicts a face Staring back Is this the face of the man I was? Or the glare of the stonecut man That I've become? Etched from marble Or maybe granite By the horrors it's seen This sandy grave consumes me And my glare turns upward Inflection of this mind begins The mirk above does not churn It does not waver And I realize I'm alone The Vast reflects back at the stonecut Mirroring the emptiness In his eyes and soul The realization of internal emptiness Is deafening in the silent night Has revenge done this to me?
