These words are for me,
For I'm the one who's hurting,
I'm just healing myself.
I often wonder why we can't understand other's poems sometimes, but deep down it is the one who writes it knows the value of it.
Kept under your bed is a rope of dried twigs,
Elderflower and lemongrass,
Exudes from the chipping paint.
Go, now;
Away from those who remember you leaning upon the neighbourhood postbox,
Next time, Iโ€™ll have younger skin.
the lakeview diner
as i look through my window
i cannot find his light
heโ€™s nowhere to be seen
iโ€™m all alone tonight

his presence calmed me
silent and serene
his warm yellow shine  
a sight unseen

oh please come back soon
i miss you so much
iโ€™m off to bed now
please stay in touch
Desire Disgusts Even The Likes of Me

The moon, shrouded in a veil of clouds,
Cast a pallid glow upon the scene,
As they, haunted by their own yearnings,
Found themselves entangled in its embrace.

But lo, as the shadows lengthened,
And the air grew thick with unease,
They recoiled at the touch of desire,
For it was a foul and wretched thing.

It was a night of eerie whispers,
When desire, with its tainted allure,
Crept into the hearts of those
Who feared no sin, no darkness.

Even those who knew no fear
Were repelled by its twisted form,
And thus they turned away,
Leaving behind the stench of their own loathing.

See me as a man not as the monster you came to know
Iโ€™m not crazy just a little unwell
My mind is not for rent, but it sure the **** is for sale
Make me an offer
One I canโ€™t refuse
My mind is for sale
Gently abused
It comes with bipolar, schizophrenia too
Itโ€™s got a history,
Forever Feeling blue
how many times can I google The words
Ways to tie a noose
You could say I'm suicidal
Mental
Crazy as glue
Iโ€™ve got so many problems
Come on
Iโ€™ll sale it to you
It comes with roommates
And some ****** up points of view
Iโ€™ve got issues and voices too
There telling me itโ€™s over
Iโ€™m as worthless as poo
Absolute Mush
My mind is nothing but goo
Iโ€™ll sell it cheap
Sale it to you
.Iโ€™ll make you an offer
Throw in my dignity too
I lost my mind
Itโ€™s for sale
I want to THANK YOU!
Thank You
I truly do
I would not be here without my you
Living and learning to love as we go
I am your John
You my Yoko
Without love
Lost and wondering
Just to lonely souls
We are better together so the story goes
When things get crazy
I promise to never let you go
I will follow you down
Wherever you may go
Weโ€™re chasing everlasting love with its magical glow....................ย ย 
Never again will my heart be alone
