The feet caress the silenced floors The eyes delightfully shriek at the intoxicating images that carve the divergent atoms The fingers dance across the tantalizing haze of consumerism. We're in the supermarket. How much can we take until it's considered **** We are drowning in a pool of tortillas Our senses are toiled away from the capability to mindlessly self-inflict We are penetrated by blissful locomotives Be practical, they say That's a mans job!, they say I am deaf. I foolishly push the masculine carts I taste the hysterical white privilege as it burns down my throat into an endless ride of heavenly ignorance.

Supermarket Bones
Insignificant chatter looms over my decaying ear. The tantalizing haze floods the hidden floor boards, the stained walls. The prevarication is located in the detrimental couches. The blissfulness of your ignorance feeds the self-inflicted smoke of their sensuous cigarettes. We're all dead. The instant gratification hovers over the greedy fingers as they dance across their contemplation of sanity. The platonic conversationalists seek more than the lonesome intoxication. And I, the flickering light caress the delicate chipped walls. We're all dead.

Death via America 2016
The moon casts a luminous light over my skin. The smoke dissipates from my cigarette into the darkened sky. My palms feel moist from the grass below. The sound of creatures surrounding me, dances between my ears. But all I can think about, is the silhouette of the trees against the cold sky.

bleu
Something I once was until, I was painted with lust until, I was splattered with deception Pure and innocent, I once was until, I was carved with passion until, I was stained with melancholy a blank canvas, I once was until I became destroyed with benign severance.

a blank canvas
If I a wayward traveler were to rest my weary bones, I fear I’d quickly find my name in a garden full of stones. So I continue trudging onward, without regard for my direction. Eyes forever pointed downward by the fear of my detection. Carrying the bags of follow travelers despite their ever growing weight. My steps harried ever onward by the fear I might be late. I can’t see my destination but I have faith to keep me strong. I can’t let my pace be slowed by the fear that I am wrong. I can’t say I quite recall even the way this journey started but I must have held some purpose on that day I first departed. So I continue trudging onward without regard for my confusion. This journey is about so much more than my self-involved delusions. If I a wayward traveler were to rest my weary bones, I fear I’d quickly find my name in a garden full of stones.

Wayward Traveler
Humanity's womb is barren The music has died away We ***** our children Lead them astray. Change marched through the streets As they lay littered and free For these corrupt eyes to see. For these corrupt eyes to see. How we bled for peace And we killed for peace But peace was power And power was peace How we bled for peace And we killed for peace Now our blood drowns us.

We, The People
Take this kiss upon the brow! And, in parting from you now, Thus much let me avow— You are not wrong, who deem That my days have been a dream: Yet if hope has flown away In a night, or in a day, In a vision or in none, Is it therefore the less gone? All that we see or seem Is but a dream within a dream. I stand amid the roar Of a surf-tormented shore, And I hold within my hand Grains of the golden sand— How few! yet how they creep Through my fingers to the deep While I weep—while I weep! O God! can I not grasp Them with a tighter clasp? O God! can I not save One from the pitiless wave? Is all that we see or seem But a dream within a dream?

A Dream Within A Dream
Radiates over me like the moon casting a luminous gleam of light over our bodies. Devours my soul like Hannibal, feasting on his most lustful, most passionate ****

your essense
As our car slides ungracefully to the beat of the music, we ponder about the theory of the universe only to discover we are a troubled, modern group of society's psychotic teenagers.

words
The feeling of a black hole fills my body like a poison, slowly but gracefully                              ripping apart my soul brain washing my mind into the depths of eternal sorrow                              all because of you
