I climb into bed
in the early AM's
and then struggle to get
one leg out of my blankets

I look up at my ceiling
and realize I forgot to turn on my fan.
I don't usually admit it
but without noise in the background,
the dark leaves me feeling scared.

Hold onto that Faith
When others mock and see faith in God as foolish
When you're told your final destination is the cold, dark grave
When you are branded as illogical, uneducated and ignorant
When Doubt is knocking at your front door and demands a foothold

Hold onto that Hope
When you sense you are in a downward spiral
When you are tired of the long uphill
When tears threaten to drown you
When you just don't see the sense of life

Hold onto that Love*
When you encounter those who have none for you
When you have the desire to be unloving
When you know this world is nothing without it
When you know it what makes life bearable and true

Memory is like a sunset
                    for once it fades....

You only have recollections of it elegance
but never again see it the same..

His warm hands embraced hers
and her heart melted away,
she was no longer starving
but felt content and full.

Did we run out of words?
Is that why they rhyme so much?
I mean did we just get lazy?
Is the English language only like this?
I don't know

Luck...you're fortunate
Truck...remove the L and add TR...and now you're going places
Use  F instead and now you are being ******

Words can be confusing
Flower - flour
Son - sun
one -won
hour - our
Who was asleep on the job when this stuff happened?

Words are a writer's best friend
I couldn't be one without them
They are food for the eyes and the mind
I love the study of words
I could swallow a dictionary whole

Words can hurt
They can curse or bless
And words can also heal

Don't give up
You can make it
You matter in this world  

Some words I wish I could take back
But good memories don't forget
Some words I wished I would have said
But didn't

I love you
Please forgive me
I forgive you

Long ones
short ones
Their origins borrowed from foreign soils
Some have gone extinct for lack of use
Others were conquered by invading tongues

Pity
For words are wonderful
I love words

They connect us, the world over

Sword and shield grants no one title of knight,
Neither pen and paper the skill to write.

there was a boy
about 16
he found the love of his life
or so he had thought

there was a boy
about 20
she left him to die
on a sleeting february night
walking the barberton street

a year later
there was another boy
in the same body
21
who made two decisions

to love
and to serve

there was a girl
age 18
who met the boy
far away from her

she was him

they talked
they played
but he had to leave for a little bit

a little bit turned to a long bit
he saw her struggle
he kept trying
it didnt work

he kept waiting

he kept waiting

he kept waiting

he kept waiting

she appeared

he made his move

she took him back!

she made her choice
he'd made his
________
there might be more
than a mile or two
from here to there
but really
its only the distance from his camera
that keeps him in focus,
right?

Pleasantly I remember,
that time when we were together
and my heart races all over again as I think,
*the back of a wall never felt so comfortable.
my heart is yours

Through my cranial cavity I spear head
this needle of desperation unto the
vacant nasal spaces and without
another thought I hear the meaning
of pain in my solitude where no other
sees i inject the fluid pressing down.

This exhibit of denial that I'm an empty
shell, I'm more, I just need that shove to
ignite that stagnant membrane to existence.
I pull the empty needle out it descends
deceased in its use, as it rolls across the floor.

I can feel it filling the empty *** holes
in a road of thought which was to unstable
to traverse my wordings upon. Now all is
onyx and I have a seizure of unimaginable
reflections that spin in to a vortex of revelation.

The pages that were like suicidal white gowns
of nothingness now express the very essence
I am. But after hours of unknown dialogue
that even I am unsure of its complexity.
I feel a tear descend and its slashes on the page..

Smudging the white with abstract images that
have fallen from my being, I question there meaning
with but sight no words gain ground. That time of
ecstasy seems to be waning and I'm once again
becoming less than before as my heart writes me a message.

This last piece of white is crushed in my palm as
I fall silent to the floor, onyx bleeds from my being
and my eyes are cradled in soundless gazes.
The paper that I had whispered my words upon now
drift around a room of my muteness.
    
Ink dries upon the pages and my being and both
are now silent, my inspiration was exhumed but
now is once again buried within myself. I wrote
a masterpiece of stimulation that will never be
read as all is in a box of stillness and when the
ink fades once again there will only be white.

I just sit here, wasting my thoughts on
nothingness, technicolour images are
viewed but never given reflection in
to the views of reality...

My lessons of deliberation leave my energies
of expelling of any significance woefully stale.
I'm just going to let some things linger inside,
never to view through the window, only a shadow.

I remember leaving the car and walking towards you...
My heart was pounding,
and my thoughts were blurry.
I have goosebumps remembering how I felt then and how I still feel now...
I'm ecstatic, you always solve my heart's quadratics.
I'm happy with you, and you're happy with me. Sorry if I make no sense, I'm about to sleep.

We are a teddy bear
                but some just like to pull at our stitches,

But they don't just pull they try to retch the stuffing out...
                a stitch is fragile bond.

Don't let them pull to hard
                       to leave you open to there prying words...

We entertain the idea that it is but a moment of
joyful bliss,
But did you share that sting?
              Was it too much for a whisper of kaleidoscope
                                                    ­                     pleasures.....
There is but one ending to this eclipse of the senses.
                              "Either,
You float on the butterflies of enthral bliss,
                    Or when that needle penetrates
Its like a  bullet to the brain....


                          There is only silence and stillness
and blood lubricates the nasal.
     They say an overdose is like a bullet to the brain
                    but one only some are revived from....

Do you wish to play roulette to see which shot
                                                         ends your life.
