Me
Me
What is the truth?

Who are we to decipher what is hidden inside

To make up the rules of what is believed to be the truth

Prehaps mine are different then yours

Sometimes I just want to give it all up

Head out the door

So many others telling me what to do

Want to hear the truth

Smell it on my tounge

Whiskey will do it

It always speaks for me

Not afraid of ones feelings

Makes it short and sweet

You have a simple choice either accept me for me

Or leave

Shall I repeat myself so that you understand

I will not be afaid of the certainty that I come to believe

Its all I can be

It is all ME

For All It's Worth
I have nothing

I sit here searching for words

Poetic thought's invade me

Smoke filled cofee house's

I stand with the open mic

I shall talk loud and proud

For all it's worth

Tonight is my night

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
465 · Aug 2012
Exhale My Demise
A spirit so peaceful embracing life
A breathe of serenity as quiet beauty meditates the earth
Shadows flow together focusing on wisdom
Inhaling the wind as it soar’s into a winding garden
A fresh tranquil soul soothingly grasping my hand
Demise is speaking to me oh so openly
Time and light that is perfectly white
The scent of myself passes me by
I exhale for a moment
Remembering the sullen compassion that whispers in the sky
Yelling out to me asking why
464 · Sep 2012
Burden Made Of Steel
The rain came and washed it away
All, including the shame
Pieces of you that I can’t claim
The rain came and led me through
Into the night where I did not have a fight
Nothing left to offer
I carry this burden that feels like steel
When our fingertips met I could feel something real
You may think that I don’t see
But were one step away
I have drained all that I use to be
Now I don’t want to feel
I go to the side of the river
Kicking my feet in the pain
I don’t belong
Whispers that come alive
Slip inside this mind of mine
463 · Nov 2012
Over The River
Lonely hallowed summer
A song over the river
This quiet world of mine beholds the wind
Thriving like vines I could climb
Poetry seeds the winter season
As I wander and wither through sacred earth
The lonely intuition through the peace season
A gentle loves thrives beneath the dark
Leaving me with a thirst
462 · Jul 2013
Fall Away
Using the bailer to unload my anguish
Like when I was a small child
As the warm shore roughly views the mainland
Where I'd  sail free
Having to use the compass to find my way
I aboard yet I'm drifting away
I see a moon I don't recognize
The curves of the waves seem to fall apart
Running from the ship
Enduring my  pain
462 · May 2012
Order
Could I perhaps marry a poem?
Run away with the letters
Far from home
Used words that only express the truth
Could I would that be absurd?
Place my life on the line
Put it in a certain order not to be unkind
Could I write a Tanka and structure it differently
That would be wrong
What if I wrote a love sonnet and filled it with hate
That would be callous
But now it’s too late

Giving up
Love is about giving up



Giving in



Letting go



Only warm sacred sea through wild promises



Under the naked light



Together we devour the soul



Remember the kiss with a moist fear



Whispers under the tree



Worshipping the soft breeze



Embrace explore me



I shall soak with a gentle heart



Hanging on to the sweetness of the night



Painting drunk harmony



Trying to make it right



Passion imagining the moment



Through wild pain



When young hearts are shattered my life is long



I lay in bed your so far away from me



Where did it go?



What has happened to my once vibrant soul?



As I turn away the days seem to collect



A  little corner of my heart



Tucked away like a broken piece of glass



Laying shattered laying last



Let me cry



Let me sorrow



Let it go away

Paint My Heart
Would one slight kiss bring you closer to me?
Would I crave you forever on my hips?
Long to have you near
Falling in love making me alive
My skin that has been so deprived
It will suddenly rise
The candle light will dance off our bodies
Chasing the shadows in the night
I grasp for you I scream I need
I willing to sacrifice to have you for one night
I have desires that I can’t hide
Want me to make you mine
You are like art
I want to paint you with my tongue
Discover your heart
Drain the pain that invaded you so
For just tonight release let it go

Morning Brain
My mind holds me at bay  
Crawling off this planet
I can't see in the dark
I will still love you as a ghost
461 · Jul 2015
Blinded Bird
Ancient spirits, whispering into the wind
Angels staggering, claiming sorrows
Burning winds stroke the willow trees
Illusions of Galaxies concrete flaws
Blinded birds hatching sunsets
Bones of disease devoured and shamed
459 · Mar 2013
Shadow Of Hunger
I bleed all my blood for you
It spills the contents of my need
The longing to  have you hold  me
When your near
Naive and incomplete
I swallow my humanity
Beg for your touch
Kiss me lingering your fingers on my breast
Starving for you to enter me
Slowly I weep into the shadows of hunger
Exposed unaware with no sense of pride
456 · Mar 2013
Can We?
Can we be free?
Have unity
No war just peace
Accept others for who they are
Let everyone be real
Hold hands in church with the person next to you
Watch children grow,  teach them morals and beliefs  
Let them  become the future we need
So we could be proud
Educate one another about our backgrounds
Be proud of our color
Not to be ashamed of our mothers
Love and embrace
Let everyone have a chance to be strong
Go visit lost souls
The older man down the road who just lost his wife
Lost his essence, lost his soul
Volunteer your time to help someone in need
Be kind and be true
One day we will all leave this earth
And reside in a home together
Why not get along now
Lets recover

Sleepwalking Suicide
Falling into a nest, that don't feel like home
I'm going to jump
I will not arise
454 · Sep 2012
In And Out
Essence drowns my flesh
I felt the wind blow
The days weren’t mine
I would run out of my mind
Another night to dread
Yet I’m alive
But  I cant make it to far
I have some how lost my way
I once was naïve
But the past clutch’s me refusing to release
I pray on my knees the beads among my fingers
I start to bleed
Begging for deliverance  praying for me
Why so lost ? Yet not found
I don’t even recognize a sound
Could I just go and have my sins washed away ?
I just want to breathe out then in
I want to forget
That sorrow destroys all that I am
Should I stay silent to protect him?
But I desire in the middle of the night
A man to touch me until all is forgot
Heaven is fantasized
Once delicate nothing left for me
Strength you acquire when you need  
The time is limited when you grieve
452 · Apr 2012
Silently I whisper
In the depth of the night

In the still of the shadows

I yearn for your touch

The smell of your musky skin

Through tiny sacred touch

You tantalize me

Like wind through morning skies

Fresh clouds embrace me

We gaze with hunger

We dance in depth

Where beauty lingers

A sad soul listens

Entwine drink my skin

Worship my flesh with your warm lips

Use rhythm and fly

Just fly away
451 · Nov 2012
Keep
Delicious peace decays the need
Surrounding life looking through the night
Young porcelain heart afraid to break
Time has no universe for me
The sky is the secret for us to keep
450 · May 2013
Tearing My Love
The fear inside shakes me
Tormenting me
With it's cold touch
Twisting my soul
And tearing my love
Hiding underneath my blouse
Caressing my trembling raw and ****** bones

Asphyxia Blue's
The music child tasting the sound
Tucking myself into this moment
As Jupiter lies under my bed
A slender moon brushes my cheek
Pine cone fingers made of blood root sap
Lace fireflies collect their thoughts in the silver maple trees

Gulp
Gulp on rain little bird
Swallow
Enfold your breath of life
Rise to your  prayers
Let love fill your  heart
Savor your soul

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
I keep my head down and my mouth shut
You speak only when spoken to , I have nothing to say
I cleared the table and head into my room I fall asleep
I hear him approach the bed
I'm so warm, my blanket is soft
His eyes are gray with a hint of green, cinnamon colored hair
I have memorized the top of his head ,every crease every hair
His face is thin, I think he is tired
He smells musty , but he always taste sweet
I hate him but I don't want him to leave
As he takes off his pants he places my hand on his man spot
I was so unsure what to do with it
  I'm getting better he is a good teacher
I roll it between my fingers it's warm and growing
It always wants a kiss my mouth is small I do my best
His hands hold my head tight it hurts
I get so confused when he makes these sounds. He sound's so angry. When he is done he leaves me for the night
I lie rubbing myself against the pillow Confused to why do I feel like this?
My heart beats so fast and I wonder if Daddy will be back?
He is a good dad we go outside and play
He has taught me how to write and read he is so proud of me
I'm special and I get special treats
I set the table where having company
I have a new dress and feel so cute
The woman of the house since mom passed away
It's  hard to remember  the rules I don't like him ,mad, my bones hurt when bruised
Don't eat until Fathers sitting down at the table that is one not to forget As we all sit down to eat, I clench my tiny hands hiding my secrets  under there
My heart goes out to all children who have suffered this abuse. Tragic and sick I did this so quick I did not edit it
445 · Apr 2012
Right To Be Crazy
May I scream ?

So gently yet  mean ?

May I go  crazy?

May I harm something like my own heart?

Or may I just shout and pout ?

May I cry tears of anger and years of doubt?

It would flood this town

I hate to be hurt

Should I go to the hospital or take all my pills?

May I holler from the rooftops my heart is on fire?

I look at me making me unsure

Maybe I should recover?

Maybe I should come back to you?

Mommy's Blood
We sit in the car
I'm so pretty dressed in yellow
Going to see grandma
The exictement  I can't contain
I try and look out the window
I'm nervous I wring my hands
My new outfit is getting wrinkled
I want to look my best
Look through the books that I brought
Nothing holds my attention it seems
Mom is quiet
Dad is mad
I hate when they fight
Mom speaks
Yellow turns to red
Is this love?
The car spins around fast as can be
I know that grandma is anticipating our arrival
Poor mom her face is covered in red
I don't like that color
It makes me sick
443 · May 2018
Mute
Plunging to the ground
Floating no device
Speaking without sound's

Beyond Happiness
The dust on the floor
Stepped on and ignored
In a pile by the front door
Tracked around and stomped on and  forgotten
I feel helpless and weak
Not sure if I know what I’m doing here anymore
My story has been much to deep
I have sank to the core
The past I had is gone afar
Happiness I once knew
Took off and flew
Like a bird spreading its wings
Flying through the air with no need
Careless and carefree
Able to love whom ever it may need
441 · Mar 2012
Substance
Heading down the highway just me and my truck
I don’t think there is anything here that could bring me comfort or luck
To take a moment to feel my love
Where did we go wrong?
I have no place to belong
I crawl down this darkness of  this empty path
Looking behind me yet I should leave it in the past
I Pray to the lord this open road will lead me to where I belong
Free like a bird but without the wings
I shall learn to fly all by myself with just me by my side
I step out into the morning light trying to  be one with my soul
Embracing myself like it’s the only thing I know
I have isolated myself in a place where only I exist
Speaking so faintly that my voice is missed
I’m exhausted I have no fear
I have given all that I have
Made mistakes  now I’m bound here
I’m locked inside the empty soul of mine
My core has been pierced way to many times
I feel as though I may disappear
I have nothing left lost my shine
I wish I could just leave this life behind
The road is long and lonely
Collecting my tears setting it free
Did you hear the stars whisper so insistently
That my essence was uprooted
That should never be
I have no vision left yet I can see
I know what’s approaching I know it all to well
So do not tempt me
I can’t seem to find anywhere to hide
You are alive in the very substance of my soul
Please be kind let it go
Don’t make me weak don’t make me need
The light has dimmed into the night
In this place where nothing else matters
I just wish I knew what was right
439 · Jul 2012
Minutes Seconds And More
In all the days before tomorrow
I yearned  to reach you and couldn’t
Counted the days that seemed eternal
And the memories that overtook  me
I wanted to love you but shouldn’t
When my lips touched yours they felt foreign
Perhaps this is wrong
With all the minutes, seconds, and more
I can’t help but ask should we do this anymore?
As the rain danced and the thunder rolled
I one day hope to belong
Shall I go on Monday or Tuesday is that  a  better day to die?
I will ask again on Wednesday
But just don’t lie

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
437 · Jun 2013
Purify
I stuff you inside
Tasting and purging on your taste
Shoving down words that I never knew
I try and get further from you
But I come back again
My belly thrives because of you
Stripes that began to appear
When I see them I feel you
You are the trigger I don't need
The trouble I can't explain
436 · Mar 2012
Something Real
Beyond the moon is a place for me
I would like to think its nothing but heavenly
That faith will give love a chance
Where hope is the only choice
There are no holes in the heart of humanity
Where we  don't need weapons  to solve problems
Everyone has a voice and it can be heard
All the sickness disappears
All our tribulations are gone
We don't hesitate just go for the moment
Let me reach a place that I want to know well
Give me inner strenghth
Give me faith as well
Stand for what you believe
Believe in something real
436 · Jun 2012
Taste Of Solitary
I can barely breathe
When I think about you
The moon is breaking higher than my head
I see people that I should know
This town seems so foreign and unknown
Should I move would that help
Its all so undefined running in my mind
I have nothing left to lose
Rusted out like the best
The taste of solitary suits me the best
I count the blessings I’m suppose to have
When I’m doing this does it lead me home?
I see the dilapidated buildings not being  used
Broken glass like scars
Dark gray skies trying to get around
Cover the bright sky
Give me the stars
I’m so crowed in my mind
Perhaps for awhile I shall escape
There are plenty of churches for all who believe
Also taverns for those who need to fly
Push it all aside
Press up against me
Collect the sticks
Skip the rocks
Glance up and around
What do you see?
Do you wish upon a star?
A soul that fades as it unwinds
Do you in your mind?
Turn and watch as I walk away ?
Sending you smoke signals as I go
A path that is broken so you can’t return home
434 · Dec 2016
Cordially Invited
Pitifully shuffling into a pointless destination
Trembling limbs stained grey from old habits
My purpose of life is decaying, following a map with no lines
Speaking with  liquid eyes, unable to face  the truth
These walls are so bare, our bed is stamped with your smell
Sleep has become minuscule and when it does come the dreams rattle me so
I'm lacking oxygen and I could give a ****
The smell of jasmine will not escape my nose
Everyday is a scar and you're just a ghost  that haunts my spirit
I'm back to my bottom shelf selection
You're cordially invited to my scrutinize my demise
433 · Jan 2013
Slay The Joy
Beside hope we must remember
The sweet promises we once believed
The language of this universe soars through a thousand dreams
Together the morning light finds its home
We try and unite and for a second its pure delight
A tiny voice that imagines emotions
A sacred sound that belongs
We become a prisoner in the depths of our core
Yearning for youth and so much more
Haunted by a broken eternity
Concrete secrets that slay the joy
432 · Jan 2017
Insomnias Grief
Dandelion hair
Firebird eyes
Angel limbs
Barefoot in my wedding cake
Holding on to make-believe

Borrow You
My hips sweep against your body so light
Tracing the contour of your face
I don’t want to waste time
Let's make this right
My sweet full lips travel to another land
It’s foreign to me but it seems so right
My hands linger in between
I beg and I need
May I borrow your body?
What about your mind?
Can I make it mine?
Drink it up wrap it around a vine
Intertwine our minds let them love
Shall we never be unkind
430 · Jul 2018
Gulp
Follow me to the seaside
We can gulp the ocean air
Weave fireflies in my hair, so I can finally shine

Heave The Madness
Delicious beauty burns about
Kissing the shadows frantically
Void only time when bare winds blew
Smooth winter stars
Irons out the cool rusted lies spoken
I am behind my sadness
Heave about my madness
A soul that dont exist
Whisper sad nothings underneath the moon
427 · Sep 2017
Crippled Divinity
Spiny trees dissect the doctrine
Yellowed skulls howling
Graying cheekbones shimmer
Stale jars of smoke gurgling
Pock marked bird skin gasping
Lips of sea grass soiled
Palettes of black and blue astray

Klonopin Bones
I want to mind paint
although my insanity ink is dry
425 · May 2017
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.
423 · Mar 2013
Let It Be
On your bicycle you ride
Through seasons of flowers and seeds
Flying into the universe so high
With trees passing by
I may be experiencing a delusion
But for a minute
Let it be real
422 · Aug 2017
Flea Market Rings
A flea market ring set my heart ablaze
Twisting around my finger like a hurricane
**** preaching to my childhood
Writing grocery lists on my hand
Leaving red kisses on long cigarettes
Playing a mouth harp listening to Simon and Garfunkel
Living by the words and touched the sound of silence myself
A love affair with the sky
I didn't  fathom mourning
It was a journey of my own
421 · Mar 2012
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
421 · Mar 2013
My Wings
Come here
Come here often?
Sometimes whiskey on your breathe
The damage you have done can't be fixed
Come here often black and blue?
Remember all the moments
The ones I was scared to tell you
Broken hearts don't mean a thing
It's when my blue eyes are blackened from you
Angry so much
Destroys our life
A bottle at your mouth don't make it right
The next morning things are not what they seem
Its easy to place the blame on me
The pills that mess up your head
Go see your shrink I think your unstable
Why do you push me so?
Go ahead and leave if not I will
The gunshots that rang so loud in my head
That's the moment I should of ran
Instead I stay and play the games
Fixing up something so broken
What was wrong with me?
Nothing anymore
Freedom is in my soul
Heals all my wounds
As I let it all go
No more broken furniture or broken things
I was giving the strength to grow the wings
As I fly into a world I never knew
It surprises me what has happened to you
418 · Oct 2012
Eye Lid Kiss
My tears are becoming a sea just for me
I can gather them place them in my heart
Watch them cause a wave so large that its exposes my heart
I often wonder if anyone can see them perhaps just me
These words I whisper that sit on my tongue
Are they just here to stay?
When I close my eyes for the very last time
Will I be alone?  This I may deny
My eyes lids will flood with just one kiss
Where stars fall and meet the earth
Your skin will be my flight
I will dive into the clouds
Radiate the sun
Beams of hope will impress me so
The water will still flow
In circles I shall run
With your funeral suit and everyone gathered around
Slit the wrists with everyone
Conform to all the beliefs that you don’t even know
People will stand and speculate
But all along I just laughed
418 · Apr 2012
Thin Walls Cover My Mind
Feel human in this air
I shed this skin of mine
Try maybe one more time
All those sleepless nights
When the darkness seemed so bright
I was flushed and full of pain
Burning every cell of my being one at a time
Have you seen the thin walls that cover my mind?
I may have to escape
Search for me
Search for the truth
  I will look for my youth
I want to crawl out of myself
Disappear
I shall be careful
I can’t let it be
Expose my secrets and all my woes
I shall be delicate  with sleeves to cover the veins that eats me alive and makes a  mess
The pills that threaten to take  my insides out
Destroying everything so far apart
In the blood the  torment its all mine
Nobody wants to share this burden of mine
Lucid pain
Sweetness in the tall summer grass
Making shadow puppets
Time goes so fast
I run in the rain
Taste the night on my tongue
416 · Apr 2012
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
