The road to oz has been ransacked and paved over and the rabbit hole has become just another landfill of our waste and the stars can no longer lead us to neverland for Peter bought a suit and tie and the lost boys have been found in chairs behind desks with chains on their ankles and death in their stare and the rumors of Tinker Bell are just too much too bare and Alice is now working for the queen and between the two they have not enough love to share and the Rabbits missing foot didn't bring him or the Hatter anything but bad luck and caterpillars and butterflies are nothing but bones disappearing in the mist of a dream gone down with the ship anchored to a dead moon at the bottom of the sea trapped in the tear of the skull of a mermaid that never had the chance to swim before the oceans dried up and fairy tales lost the page with their heart and the magic of their soul
The glimmer of light
skimming upon ripples
is so bright
I squint
trying to capture
its sparkling life,
to absorb its nature
and bare witness
while it yet exist,
before it slips
away
like a passing love
you would die to save.

Ego when bruised
Walks with a limp
Its eyes watery
Shamefaced, gait wobbly
It can easily be knocked of
It’s feet, as its legs suddenly
Appear spindly, malnourished
I guess starved of necessary fiber
And nutrition. I wonder if it’s got a spine
No wonder all it does is whine
When splashed with hot water.
Methinks, for one’s step not to falter
One ought to on the altar
Of one’s well-being slaughter
In cold blood the monstrosity that’s the ego.

do you ever wonder
if you find pleasure in your sadness?
i ask myself many times if i do.
in the moment it isn't pleasurable,
but it's kept me company for so long.
i wonder if i should call it a friend.
a long distance lover
coming home for the weekend,
who will arrive soon
with tickets of tears
and promises of gloom.
maybe that makes me a special *******,
but at least i'm not lonely.
three cheers for pain.

My demons came
marching like a band
into the night in chains.
Singing songs of the
promises I once made,
waving white flags
in scripted in blood
from the secrets
that was not mine
to keep.

my life can be summed up
with a long list of
coulda beens
but I let it all slip away
to be content with average
to stay out of any light,
lurk in the shadows
and all the chances linger
like a fog that the sun
can't seem to burn away
we coulda been great. good luck with LG
