Is tonight the end
Of another friend
Will his candle blow out
I so want to shout
Does he know his pain I feel
And that pain is very real
We've never meet in a place
Nowhere here but this space
But a friend in depression sealed
With the darkness so steeled
Please don't let me lose
Another one to the darkest muse

i close my eyes
welcoming the darkness
drowning in hurt unbearable

bound and motionless
waiting for time to slow
and swallow me

here i lie covered
rooted in misery and despair
as a corpse waiting for burial

pleading silently for words
to will my spirits to lift
and set my sad soul free

i finally find my way through
after each fall i eventually rise  
gracefully learning to cope

Your eyes called me to myself.
Your shelter healed my soul.
Even while my heart was breaking.
Do not trust me, for I'm  a poet  
I will analyze and read you
Stanza by stanza
hook by hook
My aim is to open you up
Enabling your thoughts to intertwine  with mine & to fall obsession towards me just by my words
Like your  favorite  childhood book.

Show me the breathless dancing
Of all the stars of time
Or,
Show me her smile

Another night

Tick tick tick
Another sleepless night
Leaving me awake with thoughts
Eating away at me
Daunting me with  my mistakes
And **** ups

Eating away at my flesh
As the  time slowly
Painfully slips by
Daring me to go deep

My mind's slipping as each  minute goes by
Getting closer  and closer
To the  edge
The edge of sanity

By the end of another wasted night
My  ****** hands
Cling to the edge
A bottomless pit looming  
below
The chuckles and laughter
of the demons that haunt my mind echo around
Bouncing of the hard rocky walls


Clinging to the small hope left,
they claw and scratch at the hard ground above
Hoping
Praying
To feel the warmness of anothers hand
Slip into the dried blooded, cold hands
clinging to the edge of a free mind

Nothing...

No one

But the demons below mocking me
For being so foolish
So stupid
To believe someone would care
Someone would help

Hope crumbles away
Into the darkness
Into the nothing
And so do I

Words will betray your mouth,
gather clumsily behind your lower
lip before walking away, stumbling on a flat surface.

Words will betray your mouth,
your tongue will trip as it attempts to curl around many syllables and shapes that are hard to form.

Words will betray your mouth,
teeth chattering in anxious continuum, individuality being sworn away

Words will betray your mouth,
even when your thoughts are the burning lava at the mount of the volcano come to known as your throat.

Words will betray your mouth
when you are not using it to convey them.
Mindless scatterings of useless words pushed together into a form or a silent mouth opening and closing around another.
I hate this almost as much as I hate myself
A STORM BEATEN old watch-tower,
A blind hermit rings the hour.
All-destroying sword-blade still
Carried by the wandering fool.
Gold-sewn silk on the sword-blade,
Beauty and fool together laid.
