Hurt People Hurt People
Self contentment amounts to nothing.
Emotionally unavailable, emotionally immature.
Falling in love from one look.
632 · Jan 2021
All I am
Guns, hounds and a desire for stew.
Familiars watch from a distance.
Wounded and surrounded, the blood trial betrays;
and these small feet are all l am.
620 · Oct 2019
Skylight
Pretty and extending like the night sky.
Filled with mystery and possibilities.
Decorated with scattered burning gems.
Craving to be a part of your Utopia, but
I'm terrified of the void and the freezing heights.
I look up at times, when alone and happy.
Creating masterpieces by linking the stars together,
and I smile to the peaceful and welcoming night.

Beauty
The portal to home.
Where the ocean meets the sky,
and the wind whistles.
Looking out to know.
Firm like a tree to grow.
An addict without.
A change of scenery.

A Poet's Memory
The encroaching swirl of passion.
A frozen image of two.
The lesson is a sad, lonely one.
Grinning on the way to the gallows.

Dear love
It was beautifully blinding like the morning light.
Wet eyes staring at your picture as the flames engulfed it.
Defeated I retreat to smoke out the pain,
Like a wounded lion dragging; what remains of its pride.

Sunflower
A woman who always gets her way.
Never scared of the dark,
you pour your youth on the floor.
Cherished and loved by many,
you grab with both hands;
and let yourself go out of reach.
Like a sunflower above corn.
326 · Jun 2021
Prisoners
We are chaos.
State taxed for existing.
Never committing, never saying no.
Free men surrounded by walls.
313 · Jul 2021
Getting What You Become
Confrontation is useless, Consequences are not.
304 · Mar 2022
In and On
Love lurks in life
Flesh fumes in flames
Weight weighs on will
Pain pulses in people

Death by Rock and Roll
All experiences pursued, withered the soul
Losing the leaves to the dirt
All experiences welcomed, strengthened the whole
In the wind, In the rain
287 · Aug 2021
Out Of The Cellar
Too many slaves in this world
Seeking truth in sacrifices
Tearing souls to pieces
No truth in love
All truth in solitude
Sad screaming scenery
A sign of victory
275 · Nov 2021
All my heroes
A dream stirs my soul
Truth that loved you
Wrecks my heart
Numb is all I am
Thank you.

Double Standards
Knowledge without experience.
Blind beasts corrupted by desire.
Pearls to the swine.
No one's slave, no one's master.
Unto others as unto you.
Lies screaming to be celebrated.

Shamar
Shamar is her name,
lies alone in bed at night,
with a paining leg.
I sweet talk her to sleep,
addicted to Shamar like a drug,
but she is a drug no man can afford.
There is me, cold enough to be left alone.
Shamar is her name,
An angel beneath cold sheets,
She is the south. I am the north.
We explode and laugh it off,
Shamar is her name.

The Virtue of Selfishness
My younger sister is dead
She never wore pink or red
Always crawling, walking and running ahead
Intoxicatingly self made
Taking till the very end
257 · Jan 2021
Bridging a River
Blue flames sprout from a spark.
A toast to the cook!
Wood clothed in cold shinning silver.
White or red?
Stuffing the darkened, deepest pits ever.
256 · Nov 2019
Mother
My reaction is mostly neutral and hers falls on the extremes of either side.
Living on borrowed time, she lives only for herself.
With each added year, the more roots she plucks.
Rocking herself by the fireplace, she cries for the long gone friends.
Who could have helped her drown the pain of life, and I help her to bed.
Where she stares at the ceiling, before retiring to her self made Utopia.
255 · Aug 2021
The One
Make a plan and work your plan
To marry your fan
To be their Liverpool
To never walk alone

"Till death us do part"
Perennial streams trickle down mother earth's face.
Walls dam the memories, yet they crack at the might of the infite flow.
A freshly picked bouquet of scarlet roses, translates to flashy cheeks and a beautiful smile.
Scared of the lonely void, I sleep in your clothes.
My love, always loved. Flow with the current, towards the blue ocean.
Haunt not my retreat, for your sake and mostly mine.

Uncertainty of Tomorrow
Selfless souls laying lives on the line
Unprepared for what awaits us
Chaos sweeps us off our feet
235 · Mar 2022
Heartbreak
Broken love promises
Tears overflow and dampen happiness
Hate from the hurt
235 · Jun 2021
The Shape of You
Unable to perceive the shape of you.
I find you all around me.
Your presence fills my eyes with light.
It humbles my heart, for you are everywhere.
From the movie The Shape of Water
229 · Jan 2022
Torn
So much time in futile searches
The role you play in your failure
Love's focus of attention is today
Yesterday don't matter, if it's gone
Everything will come to you eventually
227 · Jun 2021
Seeing You Seeing Me
The switch snaps, the lighter clicks.
A serene blue flame sprouts endlessly Forfeiting our dignity to instant gratification.
227 · Dec 2019
The Star
Was I untrue or you were a liability.
Choosing only you over a constellation.
I threw bits of myself to keep you afloat.
The ocean floor can withstand intense pressure, but eventually anything gives way to a sustained persistent attack
Exhausted to the bone, I let you go.
Out of time, the memories still cling on to us.
221 · Oct 2019
Addict
Smoke fills the lungs, the brain pays the price.
The ******* I snort up my nose, prescribed to cure me.
The capsules I chew, burn my insides slowly.
Off the shelf syrups no longer quench my thirst.

Final Ascent
Ascending to Fall, Descending to Rise
Good is not all good, bad is not all bad
Gravity weighing down on us to the salty seas
Evil is a prerequisite to evolving for better or worse.
Evil is Live spelled backwards
The more desperate we cling to life the darker our state of mind.
207 · Apr 2021
Sign of the Times
Crucified minorities, making their way.
Weapons of the majority, an audience for its needs.
Man stands on his choice and stumbles by it.
203 · May 2021
Knife
The beauty of life,
Is in acknowledging everything and not depending on much.
A moon in the night sky.
An island in the midst of nowhere.
199 · Dec 2019
Love
The favorites learn and play by the rules
Like couples share a life for the rest of their days
Pure love knows no limits, it extends beyond reason
Freeing shadows from our hearts and minds
Like lovers share more than a toothbrush

Altagorgeous
Altagorgeous, appealing and delicious.
A full course meal.
Sophisticated and self-conscious.
Meandering and well cut toned  body.
Armoured fearless sun kissed rhinoceros.
She ain't flawless, but surely she is gorgeous.

Happiness
Is the pursuit of a humble mountain,
without a ******.
Like Aang and the four elements.
Like Son Goku and the Autonomous Ultra Instinct.

Champagne On A Yacht
A stenching love
Sinking down darkest depths
Scared and mutilated
Awaiting to escape the nightmare
To nothing as before birth
174 · Nov 2019
The Wildfire
Overwelmed with emotion and left numb.
Love departed, never returning my heart.
Radiant hazel eyes enslaved another, for you to command.
Still your flames devour them to ashes, and the embers of their souls burn brightly
163 · Mar 2021
The Narrow Path
Treasure lies idle in these unthreaded paths.
A gift for the long suffering mind, further beyond the fold, the bend.
163 · Oct 2019
The lost love
Without nothing to lose,
The only staircase to freedom.
The taller the walls, the thicker the chains.
She wanted anything except mediocre.
He wanted a Queen willing to follow his lead.
158 · May 2021
To Be...
Some run from, some run to
Running to escape ourselves
Running towards ourselves
To be fearless, be fear
To be love, let go
To be free, be death and there's nothing left to die

Candy
The sight of it, waters my mouth and quickens my pulse. Sealed and concealed to my eye, it calls for my soul. Weak and fragile it tames beasts and monsters. Addictive and cheap, yet it always leaves a knot in my belly.
157 · Jun 2021
The Frame
Easy sailing in the breeze
The days are filled with sun
The current slowly taking me there
153 · Oct 2021
Wild Wander
I wander far and out, searching for the fix.
Sipping their remedy, lost and loved.
I found myself at the bottom of bottle.
Some hanging by the noose and I wander and wonder.
None of it matters, if your questions aren't answered.
152 · Jan 2023
The end...
Transcendence
Adding life to days; not days to life
Neither bending nor breaking
Till it happens to you
Take care
151 · Apr 2021
Burning Tree
To the wind, dance and song.
A desire as old as tale, to have and hold forever.
Throughout life and beyond death.
145 · Apr 2021
Good Guys
The best result comes when everyone in the group,
does what's best for him and the group.
Anything else is Self neglect.

Deep Great Blue
Plunged off the edge of the precipice, burning to know if I can swim.
Waves rock back and forth, the ocean whispers to me; sinking to the deepest of the deep.
145 · Apr 2021
Opposites Attract
Rivers flow to the ocean,
As bees adore the flowers, and
All your pearls to pirates.
142 · Mar 2021
Sun In Our Eyes
I used to fly high before
Anchored to bruises and scars
We just jump and skimp about.
142 · Oct 2021
Here
Around the globe, Somewhere too deep
Hope shackles hapiness
The lion runs to run again
