Flower Face
I night dream, I day-dream
Falling everyday
As the distance calls for me
I'm trying to cling for growth
Yet , I'm searching for my obituary  
I memorized the words
A flower face with electric taste
Tiny shadow with a fierce force

Eating the night away
With Jack on my tongue  I forget my name  
Needles,patches and antipsychotics
On this exotic edge of my release  
My waist has never been thin
My ribs have never been a bird bath
I'm to hungry to stay alive
This hollow patched affair
The shape of  anxiety drowns me
Forcing all the air from my lungs
Lost  lovers and forgotten friends
Suddenly appear
Tasting my words like never before
Death is contagious
As everyone sits in the shadows  
I'm surrendering to the ghosts
I have made love to razor blades
Had affairs with whiskey and pills
Have danced over lines I said I would never cross

Pendulum Swing
Sea salt hair with windchime charms
Fireworks in my chest the solar system in my  hip pocket flap
Tobacoo coat stained green with stones from my throat
A daughter of the North with toothpick heels
Sunken ships and bruised lips as I curse your name
Scar you with my thoughts
Regurgitate our  indifferences in this Melancholy sea
Stardust loveless and lost
I weaponize your words

Talking Stars
Did you hear the stars whisper that I love you?
I talked to the moon and he insisted I was insane
Although there are moments when I truly wonder am I?
Here I am looking up at the sky for my answers
Attempting to run but I always return
Running back to you looking up at the moon
Tell me you love me everyday at noon
Lets not repeat a thing but love so much it makes us shy
I want to discover you all over again
I’ll dive inside of you and swim like you’re the sea
Lets go into a cave and feel one another in the dark
Unfamiliar fingers exploring my untame heart
Escape into our world let our passions be free
Together just you and me

Nowhere
My love is wrong

My love is mistaken

Its frightened

Its GONE

I cocoon myself into what I perceive

I am weary not WISE

Losing  it all nobody by my side

You say you know me

What I am all about?

I wonder have you really ever taken the time?

Could you live without me?

Without my abuse?

My smile could heal and soothe if I let it

I dont have any words to even say

Words are overrated I hate it that way

My eyes speak so many languages

Some that are not real

Everyday I need and try to escape this place

Where do I turn where there in nobody around?

I am lonely and have no cause

What ever happen to the ones who needed me near?

Fragile and seperate from my very own being

I have no sense of purpose

No pride

Where shall I go ?

To continue the search for myself

When in the end I will be left empty handed

Cold and tormented and no place left to GO

Bathtub Casket
The bathtub was almost my casket
You're holding my head
I just want to leave
The water was so warm but he saved me.  I struggle everyday  to find myself.  To understand why I'm on this earth. I try everyday but the water is so warm.

Sleepwalking Suicide
Falling into a nest, that don't feel like home
I'm going to jump
I will not arise

Cold Brain
Thank for breathing
As tears drown my face
Cold bones now you are somewhere out in the universe
Did you regret closing your eyes?
I'm drinking to numb my brain
Helping me to accept my own way

Drunk Rambling
Addicted to the memory of you
Telling secrets, hiding them in my lungs
Breathing tides of our love
As my teeth drink the moon
My emotional journey makes me a dreamer
A gypsy soul rations my will
Drinking the universe,  one with nature
Bare feet taken in the earths soil
A desire for freedom

Straight To The Heart
Broken sky and fallen stars
I inject you in my veins and you go straight to my heart
It’s four a.m. and I can’t sleep
My secrets I shall keep
I  fall delicately yet severely  
I can’t remember the time
You slip me  pills
So I can forget
Forget the thrill and the shrill screams
The blood that ran almost still
You didn’t even see me ?
I was able to sneak up on you
You told me once you wanted me
So I came by to surprise you
I remember the feeling of looking into your eyes
When did you decide that you could overpower me
One little pill has no much control
I can see so much clearer
I feel like I’m gone
Should I carry on
The blades of grass scrap at my core
I stumble into the door
The thinking days are behind me
For I don’t exist anymore

Love is my religion
Love is my religion

Its what I do best

Its the hunger that invades me

Its what knows me best

Grabs me by my inner soul

Holds me tight wont let me go

The strength is has astonishes me so

You cant hold it inside your hands

Or put it on a shelf to admire

Its subtle yet strong

Sometimes may be wrong

But its what I do and where I belong

Bottle Of Ease
Have you seen my home?

It use to be a place for me  

But now it's at the bottom of this bottle

I let it burn all the way through

Touching and  teasing my tongue with ease

My eyes seep with tears make me weak in my knees

Have you seen me?

I use to be alive

Now I am not found

If you see me remind me

I use to be new
385 · Mar 2012
Taste my heart
In your head dispose me
Break the balance  
Everytime shared was time wasted
**** exposed as you tasted my *******
Your tounge exploring and longing
For what was once yours
The very symbol of what I represented
Is not what it use to be
Photographs lay scattered about
Torn and feeble like our soul
You decay
I bloom and fly away
384 · Apr 2013
My Tongue Shall Drip
Tonight I'm just a girl
A girl that nobody knows
I can be me
I can be free
Nobody to blame
I don't have to refrain
My tongue will drip with words that you don't approve of
My dress will be to tight and expose what is not right
I will see myself through my eyes
My walk will be refined
I will if I want sip red wine
You will not tell me that it is unkind
I will celebrate like its a holiday
Be silly and dance and have fun
To bad you won't be here to destroy my time
I'm just a girl

Chaos Kiss
Fingers dancing across the ribs of truth
The sternum of strength
Gritting my teeth whenever I think of you
Hollowed out heart
Whiskey hot on my lips, where you use to be
Your still my favorite taste
A tinge of you still exists
382 · Jul 2017
Poets Dress
Steeples of flesh in my nightdress
Unleashed wanderlust stirring up my sheets
Exhaling swirls of poetry
As the fire of you dips into my throat

Cock Money (Adult Content)
When I was a little girl, I  skinned my knees
I peel the labels from my beer
Bite my nails, flip my hair, lick my lips
What a ******* tease
Now skinned knees brings in money

Winters Wind
Painting winters wind, on pieces of a angels breeze
Wearing pride into the dancing sea
Unfolding the bruises  into thee

Home Again
His father passed away in May
Just an ordinary day
He lived so far away
They never had it good any way
Mother called he didn’t pick up
Headed out the door to work
Later that evening he hears the message
Thinks to himself I guess I better go
The roads seem so much longer than before
Heading north his head is full of old dreams
The forgotten the pain
But for mom I will do anything
He don’t have long is what the doctor say
I’m here that’s all that matters
Sitting in the room his eyes met mine
Son I’m sorry and I know its to late
Forgive me I know I did wrong
They shook hands later that day he passed away
He embraced his mother and stood beside his brothers
Father don’t look so strong anymore
Weak and numb tears begin to fall
After a couple days I need to go home
Mom gives me a old compass that belonged to dad
Son in case you are ever lost this is your way home

A Million Times
A million times I have touched your face

Studied you like a piece of art

Felt your skin on my fingertips

Admired you looked into your eyes

Could always tell if you lied

Never mistaken you for someone else

I remember all the tears you have shed

Loved you for long

Even in your darkest times

Held you safely when you were afraid

Embraced you

Because you are ME

Hold On
Somewhere in time

The truth is where its at

All of these moments

Perhaps were rare and that's that

When I try and discover the matter of it all

All I seem to find is nothing at all

So I ask myself so softly is this really worth it

Do I continue to struggle to prove whats meaningful

I may judge

I may be abrupt

Yet I manage to hold my soul inside my hands

Not letting it go

Klonopin Bones
I want to mind paint
although my insanity ink is dry

Untitled
Grief paints me
In  misplaced moss
Where hazy stars are red with lace
Feeble and sunken into the  rain
Hollow hopes tangling the edge
My seam is frail and coarse
Ivory flesh with a dose of despair
My voice lies dormant stamped with reprieve
370 · May 2012
Not So Clear
I’m  on the road
Going nowhere
The jack taste so fine to me
I can see the sun is following me
It may catch up I can feel the heat rise
This country station isn’t so clear
Perhaps I should stop and admire the view
My soul is singing
I stare into the sky
Feel close to home
Dirt is flying I can feel the grime
If I just had a one way ticket
I could find what I misplaced so long ago
Find what’s mine
This lonely night that never changes
Faces that stay the same  
Another reason to drink
So I don’t belong
I’ll bury myself in the bottle that heats me up so well
For the night I’ll let it all go
370 · May 2013
Murder Your Brain
I'm running
I'm running
To nowhere
But everywhere
Hear that sound?
It is me consuming your scars
This will be the last day you under nourish my love
Why do I have to be tied to your heart?
I want to sever the ropes
Of you and I
You have contaminated me
I yearn to ****** your brain
You malnourished and disassembled
Who I use to be

Worry Is Here To Stay
I have no reflection I can’t see a thing
I have no voice I can’t speak
My worry is here to stay
I’m a stone that can’t even skip
Yet here I am
Let you **** all that I need
I stand and wait for the bus that never comes
I hope it does soon
I stand here alone
Its frigid here and I can’t be put down
Maybe I need to stand on my own
369 · Aug 2012
Nothing New
I would like to set my mind at ease
Close my eyes and see my dreams
Although tonight I cannot and that is nothing new
Insomnia robs me of the person that I once knew
369 · Nov 2016
Endless Heaven
As the indigo moon chimes against the trees
Mother nature tells her story to me
Freckles etched across her dusky face
Wearing a flowing sundress standing barefoot on the stones
Hair with cornsilk weeds radiating in the breeze
A gap between her teeth and rosebud lips
With sun bleached eyes and a far away stare
Barriers of sea glass form along the kaleidoscope  shores
I love picking beach glass. I go alone and allow myself to be in the moment. I imagined this is what the sun and and breeze would look like to me. I also believe this is how their relationship would be. I spend hours doing this and get lost in myself. Before I know it's dark and the moon is speaking to me.

My Dream
Bow your head

Reach out and embrace me

This tragic moment that cant escape me

The lonely ones left behind

I yearn for strength and compassion and mind

Although when I turn around nobody is there

Pieces of my soul has blown everywhere

Leaving me fragile and vulnerable within

Do I have an answer to why

I  sure wish I did

I want to be the creator of my thoughts

Closing my eyes I want visions of a sunset in the distance

Not blood in the sand

What happened to the innocence?

What’s happened to the man?

Where is the ray of light?

That can make me forget

The disrepair has gone on to long

Lets forget about the fight

Come home soldiers

We will try and fix the blemishes of war

The destruction of our country

It is so poor

So bow your head

Put your hands together

Speak silently to the maker

For all of this to be gone

For all of this tragic despair to wash away

Lets hope that it can happen soon if not today

Sorrow On The Wind
Summer pebbles sow the profound need
As I recognized my sad spirits
I climb the wind to my demise
The warm years spent  in this blue breeze
Voices appearing from  my novel mind
Resting upon the clouds above the soft shine
Over the moss of the rain is my continued existence
Wild are those who are left to wander
Without any shade
As winter approaches things come to a halt
A fresh raw beauty that eats the day
The end must encourage the summer days to fade
Wishing for an innocent angel to help me on the way
A world  trapped between peace and pain
Soaring through the evening moon
Looking for life anew
Gathering all the strength I have
In a tranquil hallowed world
Where there in so sound
As if I knew
362 · Oct 2017
Antique Rain
Rain claws at the window
Darkness encompasses this stonework sentinel
Crimson fog signals the moon
Graphite sky interwoven with sapphire lights
Scaling the mountains of the sky, where electric Prisms echo  
Azure and turquoise ripples above  the copper depths
Morose attendant of dawning and nightfall flare
362 · Apr 2018
Summer's Eyes
Eye shadow Kisses
Strawberry sundae hair
Wind burnt cheeks
Melting ice cream
Secrets spoke into shells
Flowered dress rising in the wind
Peaceful eyes that felt like summer

Last Flight
These tears could follow me miles from home
This could be the last night unless I’m found
As I collect the dust from my pores
I’ll give it to you
It has no use not here
I’m a tourist in my own town
I have broken taste
I keep letting you run around in my mind
Taking up my space
Your mouth is all I can taste
Repeating my demise  
Who will decide ?
If I’m broken or just too late
Will you find me after I’m gone?
The walls are bottomless and bleak
Pictures of only you I keep
This is why my spirit leaks
The stars are embers that echo in my heart
Washed away and displaced
Nobody lives here  anyway
I ache as I try and  purge  myself of your face
Lost without an  escape
I have grief that is bigger than this earth
I often wonder who wrote this story of mine?
Will me soul ever meet my body?
The sun is loud the clouds are  keeping secrets from me
Perhaps they will tell me my destination
As the bird takes flight  it crashes into the glass
Blood pours from its eyes  
There is no color there is no sound
I pick up the residue its for you
As the blood  stains my hands
The bird tries to fight
It has had its last flight
Weakened and beaten
Given up to the destruction that it has caused
There is no time
To replenish what was lost
360 · Mar 2013
Taste The Greed
I added my breath to you
So you could survive for a while
I jumped inside your body and held you shut
Sleeping against your ribs causing you pain
But you insisted I stay
I used the blood that you created and flowed into your heart
I swam through heartaches and troubles
Tried to find a place that held no misery
Inside your veins I recognized you
But it was lifeless and dark, a place I have been within my own heart
I don’t want to stay out of contempt
I swallow every ounce of air you bleed
The taste of greed
But its times you release
I dive out of your core
You can’t feed on me anymore
359 · Nov 2016
Bird's Beak
The birthing ground is overcome with disease
Plucking poetry from the sea
Whiskey fed shutters pounding against me
My flesh spasms
My arms spread wide out following my track marks
You'll be so proud of me
I will let you love me

I don't need  to love me not tonight
I placed my fear of death into a jar
We can float upon the magic dust
A night we will never forget
I see footsteps in your eyes
Put on your bird tongue
With your beak , peck away at my yellow teeth

Biting my nails at the age of three

Unintended
We pray
We beg
Only when we feel hollow
358 · May 2012
Tonight
For one night I belong to you
Place your hands upon my hips
Dance with me take that step
Follow me watch my lips
I’ll say yes to whatever you wish
I have needs and I will be oh so kind
You know it will feel right
I will be careful with you
I won't let go
It will be perfect
I’ll work your body like mine
You make me wet
The connection that we have is something real
Tonight is mine
I run my fingers through your dark hair
Tasting the sweat on your neck
There is nothing wrong we will do no harm
I want you to taste me
Let our tongues move and embrace
The coolness of the night
The heat from your body
Use your imagination
There is so many places I want to touch
Lay me down place your body on mine
Spread my thighs
Relax and breathe and enjoy
Have you ever felt this way
I bet you don't deny
357 · Sep 2018
Nosediving My Mind
I'm a special girl
You promised not to hurt
As the carpet becomes a wave
My stuffed animals kept me afloat
As I force my eyes shut
Pretending to be anywhere else but here
Counting the thrusts so I know how much longer
Hiding in a box under the blanket of shame  
Questing if the lord will still receive me
355 · Oct 2016
Waltzing Carcass
Unborn fingers in the womb, dipped in sap
Upon emerald shores collecting in the cracks of my heart
Painted valleys with a warriors thirst
Braided flowers waltzing with hymns
Amniotic carcass with small town blues
Kindling wood stamped with an antique sunset
Pulling my heart into the whistling shores
355 · Dec 2017
Oxygen Puddle
Hamlet my lightening rose
Summer on my lips
I tunnel and tangle inside you
Drinking from the basin of your youth
Earths saliva scribbles upon my dust
Cosmic beauty with a creatures face

Not The Man I Use To Be
I struggle to steady my body
As I trace my wife’s hands  
I have become some clumsy over these fifty years
Not the man I use to be
When we were young at heart and danced and played
I held you everyday
I would watch you sleep
Never wanted you to slip away
Through the years we became friends
Your beautiful soul that astounded  me so
We told our children stories full of our youth
Lived life to the fullest
Taught  each other  not to hurt
As I stand here today
With our  children at my side
I weep and feel as though I died
Hands are embracing me everywhere I turn
But its your hands that I want to softly feel again
Will I see you soon or is this goodbye?
Can we make love next to the moon ?
Or will I see a corpse that is nothing but bones
When I dance with you will it be dust?
Do you have eyes that can see ?
Could you imagine the flowers and the trees?
What about our children can you  see them from afar ?
Would I look through you or would  you know ?
I might as well be just  remains because nothing is the same
I will drift around and drink your dust

Speak,Weep and Rhyme
You ask me what a poem is I shall tell the truth

What it means to me

I could  write it on  paper or write it in  dirt

It's the words that escape my mouth every time I try and speak

It's the hurt that runs way to deep

If I could make a poem speak

I would whisper all my words quietly and slowly until the end of time

If only I could weep

Touch the tenderness of the page

Watch all the letters dance off into space

Through my fingers into the air

All my memories slowly disappear

Through stars and bright skies and sunshine and pain

I engulf my sense of grace

My muse sort of speak

Makes it easy on my mind

Let is all escape until its that time

Form a sentence make it  rhyme

Perhaps this time I will be heard

And not left behind
351 · Oct 2013
Sister On The Sun
My sister on the sun
I miss you so
But I know that it was god's plan
I  know that your in a beautiful place
Sister of mine missing you hurts
But I will have to let go

Paint This Place
A empty place
I stand barefoot
Using my hands as a map
This earth will make me free
Limbs scratch my legs
Yet I move on
I surrender myself to this place
Take all I have
It's not enough
I know
Words  pound down like rain
Humanity is not free
I missed all those years
When I sold my soul
I embark on this journey
Trying to see the way

Nightly Ritual
Hollow eyed, brittle winged
My affliction is my ritual
Loops of stars interlock, colliding with my nightmares
Although I lie awake
350 · Feb 2013
Remains Of Me
Little bird with remains of me
Ingesting  my innards but who cares anyway
Lets sleep this day
Plant me as you were
I shall lay here
As the sparks fly and I flow
Humming to myself the serenity of it all
For who I don’t know and I shall not care
I travel in circles diminishing with the hilarity of it all  
The reflection is not me
But an livid butterfly that cant be free
With disheveled wings that beat on one another
A carcass made of  dust
Use them make a nest
A comfortable place for you and me
With what ever residue you may  need  
Just allow me some rest
350 · Jan 2013
Season Of The Song
Delicious color through the porcelain sky
Among  sacred desires
Untamed with velvet poison
A blanket of moss
As the fertile moon is gently bright
Deep beneath when nothing is right
A world of beautiful lonely rivers
Nature is how life grows
Withers and leaves peace between
Poetry is the season of the song
When  all feels wrong
349 · Oct 2017
The Sidewalk Is My Notebook
Poetic scars kissing my quiet sugar thighs
Ash blood hair with lungs full of gasoline
The streets has wings filled with pockets of disease
Sidewalks are notebooks recording my thoughts
Homesickness leaves bruises on my feet
Retracing lovers tears from the corners of my mouth
Petal tongue made of feathers making lovers sigh
In this muted ghost town  
I'm suffocating with the void of communication
Plucking strings and church bells my nerves doing flip flops
Murals swooning the train station amidst the shallow shores
A drinking waltz climbs my eyelids
As I pour you down my throat
346 · Jun 2013
Eating Minutes
Beneath my throat
I try and undo my wounds
The beliefs that slipped away
Eating minutes
Nailed to a tree
Desperate and lonely
Who will I be ?

Kisses that Weep
When I see you I don't know if I really see you

Turn around let me look at you

Don't let this disappear

The lack of color

The cry in the night

Love your hungry hands

So desperate and weak

We make gentle kisses as I weep

I will own your heart make it my mine

Won't put a price on it

It's not meant to be sold

I go crazy with fear

Afraid you will go leaving me here

I dream

Want to scream without you

Our worlds seem so far away

If I could just reach you and have you as my own

Unyielding deeper into the core

I go and find you there

Impatient and fevered

Naked and torrid

Strength that takes me

Dampens my eyes

Escape reaches me

And I don't know why
