Emancipated
Backlit balcony
Molding clay

Half and half maybe whole

Etch a Sketch
Pen to paper
Deconstructing the memories

The creative juices igniting

An all out war
Art is all about
The imagination we

Choose to see

A bevy’s taking shape
Excelling at one thing
Whether seen or heard

Speaking in tongues

Tagging along for the ride
Writing on a blank canvas
Like giving birth

What an absolute privilege
To create in such mayhem

What others might see as debris
And you see the opposite

I’m cut from a different cloth
Altogether ripped at the seams
I fabricate as I see fit and always will
Empty bottles
Tell there own sorrows
Borrowed time

Wasted days

When it all falls down
Comes apart at the seams
Fault lines shifting

Harboring silence alone

Looking through
The glass
Nothings clear anymore

Kaleidoscope

Storms fill my eyes
Ground zero blisters
When the sun forgets

To rise and the clouds

Rain down on me
The botched minutes
Fall by the wayside

Seconds feel like days

Ducking and dodging
Every moment I’m awake
Clenching my fists too no end

Waiting on the fire
Too set my life aflame
Signs all around me

Holding on to a prayer of hope

Waiting on the end to come
Battlefields scattered
Endless miles they stretch

A peacefulness

Guess I’ll never know
I miss numbing the pain
Falling down the rabbit hole

Forgetting if only for a moment

Sobriety only hurts
More then the days before
Old feelings resurface

Tear me to shreds

A fight you’ll never know
Unless you’ve gone face
To face with the devil inside

Like I have
A frame of mind never
Understood far from kind
When everything
Felt beautiful
And nothing hurt so badly

Push me over the ledge some more

I wish I could fly
High above thee clouds
Feel myself breathe

Disarm the pain

I’m done drowning
In the muck
Tragic events hold there place

Yesterday’s always in my head

No matter
Where I’ve been
It’s always felt the same

Too me

Chains hold me hostage
Broken numb
Nothing really matters like

It once did

Take all my
Shame to the grave
Burn my body along

With everything else

Close the doors behind me
Lay me to rest
All the hopelessness

That once existed

Exiled from my soul
Always pretending some how
Life would pan out  

Take a different course of action

When it never did
I know the moment will
Finally arrive when

The darkness will fade

Replaced by white light
My soul and spirit will find there
Rightful place

Amongst the angels that
Have gone before me
Knocking on heavens door

Patiently waiting for it too
Open up for me and set me free
Once and for all begone
Showering me
I hear you
Calling aloud

Shiny and new like a

Pair of shoes
With a perfect fit
Metaphors & Rhythms

Interacting within reason

Kerosene ~ Like rumbling matches
Chasing away
My adversaries

Clearly your

Engaging to my anatomy
Two hearts
Beat as one steady hand

Like a ticking clock

Shell shocked I’ve become
Silky smooth
Melting me into your mold

Power in numbers

Faint clutches grabbing a hold
Of for dear life
Chances like this aren’t promised

Permission granted

Inspiring breezes
Of lust and curiosity
Would you honor

Me with your inflating presence

And let your love never
Unwrap my soul

Your voice vibrates sweet surrender
To my worst fears

A gentleness that never favors
One side from the other
I don't refuse
my sins,
I see the fog,
but my
body
goes
through
the simmer
before
the fire
of
weightlessly,
I have scars,
I don't deny,
I'm not
but trying
to be
sincere.
Not
faultless,
I see
the mafia
flashing
cameras
for
they control
this part
of town.

My old bones,
need a reset,
and calcium
or protein
drinks,
are not
the answer,
dying demons,
will answer
to business
corrupt deals.

Its no less
sadder
than
the
beating
of seals.
