As you spin this web of deceit

I realize there is no way to retreat.

Barely able to breath

it's impossible to conceive

that every lie you told I believed.

Caught-up in this crazy design of confusion,

your lack of truth

brought life to this illusion.

Was it love or lust

that stole my trust?

Leading me to this path of foolishness,

sown in the silk

of ignorance and guilt,
Not wanting to feel the wrath

of loneliness.

By your many eyes

I've been hypnotized,

brainwashed to the point of no return
Passion is your poison,

and as it flows it burns.

Sanity hanging on by a thread

while thoughts of you

I strain to shed.

You left me cold,

surviving on my blood,

getting closer to my soul.

Leaving me encapsulated,

almost mummified

Suffocating in this web

...barely alive

YOU’RE JUST A WILDFLOWER

CAUGHT IN A WILDFIRE

AND I NEVER EVEN HAD A CLUE

YOU NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO BLOOM

I WAS QUICK TO ASSUME

EVERYTHING WAS ALRIGHT WITH YOU



YOU’RE JUST A LOST SOUL

WHO HAS LOST ALL CONTROL

TRYING TO GET YOUR LIFE BACK

BUT YOU DON’T KNOW

HOW TO FIGHT BACK



YOU WERE A FREE SPIRIT

AND I DIDN’T WANT TO HEAR IT

THAT YOU’RE FREEDOM

WAS BEGINNING TO CHANGE

AND I WAS THE ONE TO BLAME


DID I  LIGHT THIS FLAME?



DELICATE, THORNY WILDFLOWER

ENGULFED IN MY WILDFIRE

YOU MAY HAVE LEFT A CLUE... OR TWO

BUT I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE THE TRUTH

PLEASE TELL ME...

WHAT I CAN DO

TO MAKE SURE

EVERYTHING IS ALRIGHT WITH YOU


YOU THINK I DON'T CARE...

BUT MAYBE I CARE TOO MUCH

THE TRUTH IS, I'M SCARED

I SCORCH EVERYTHING I TOUCH...



YOU HAVE A RARE SEED

THAT THE WHOLE WORLD NEEDS

SO LET NO ONE STEAL OR FEED

OFF OF YOUR BEAUTY…

NOT EVEN ME
this started off as a song but i thought it would work as a poem too

WHY IS LIFE SO UNFAIR?
SOMETIMES I THINK GOD CREATED ME ON A DARE
BREAKING THE MOLD BY THROWING IT IN THE AIR
STOMPING ON IT WITH HIS SANDAL AS IF HE DIDN’T CARE
PICKING OFF BITS, FEEDING IT TO DEMONS AND HELL HOUNDS
OH! HE’S JUST GETTING STARTED
SO HE CANT STOP NOW
FEATURES BEGIN TO FORM
EYES
MOUTH
NOSE…
ARMS
LEGS
TOES…
THEN INTO THE OVEN I GO
WITH THE FLAMES AND HOT COALS
THE ABUSE LEFT BRUISES
THAT BEGINS TO MEND
SHADES OF BLUE AND BLACK
HEAL INTO THICK SKIN
LETTING NOTHING AND NO ONE PEIRCE THE SOUL WITHIN…
NOT WORDS, NOT HATE, NOR ANGER
TO TEST GODS WORK IS TO PUT YOURSELF IN DANGER
FOR THIS ARMOR WITHSTANDS THE POWER OF ANY MAN…
BUT LET ME ASK AGAIN…
WHY IS LIFE SO UNFAIR?
IN A STRANGE WAY -MAYBE IT’S BECAUSE HE DOES CARE…

They have written me off
They could have prevented my demise
But they would rather pay the cost
For a false witnesses lies
This epidemic
May soon have a remedy
As for me
It’s too late
They’ve already denied clemency

The power of God
In the hands of man
Leaving those who oppose
Too scared to stand
I was convicted
Before I was tried
The world rejoiced
As my mother cried
Could they not see it
From her side?


A suited tribe
Thirsty for someone to die
Feeling foolish
Because in my mind
Justice was supposed to be blind

Defense was worthless
Media circus
Where the jurors were
Corrupted clowns
Before they knew their purpose
Distorted versions,
They knew
I shot every round
Guilty!
Is what they found
I was victimized
By a victims cries
Seeing my innocence
Refusing to look me in my eyes
My sincerity had been denied

It was evidently evident
The evidence was irrelevant
Judge served no purpose
Playing God for the hell of it


Praying for the privileged
To pardon me
Pro-life defender
Pretenders
Discarded me

Waiting for the phone to ring
Hoping that it will
I’ve been denied clemency
My fate has already been sealed…

...Because you don’t know
So you can’t use it against me
Those who I’ve shown
Have created conditions
To dismiss me
Enemies

Lies thicker than blood
Spill into murky water
Images of forgetful friends
And a neglectful father
Why bother to barter?
When any glimpse of love
Has already been slaughtered

That’s why I keep you
Hidden away
In my head
Safe
Where you’ll stay…

Being torn apart

Limb from limb

Knife through the heart

But it’s not a horror film

You watch it

And enjoy it

Sending chills
through my skin

You sit there and see
me suffering

With a sinister grin

I shudder within

More people must hurt

So you can give more sympathy

Perverting empathy

Because misery loves company

Haven’t you taken enough from me?

My dreams…?

…The best of me?

You didn’t reach yours goals

So you stole the ones that were left in me



Putting a dollar in the hand

Of a homeless man

So you can feel better

About your own situation

Self- Satisfaction

Public humiliation

Inside joke

Spoke with no consideration

Of the hell I’m really facing

And the thought of me failing

Keeps your heart racing

No need to lie

I can see it in your eyes

You’re hoping

Waiting

Praying

For my demise…

The sweet aroma invites me in

The feel of soft yet firm,

Ripe, velvety skin

Holding the secrets

Of the treasured juices within


I become an addict

At the taste of the first few drips

My body thirsts for more…There’s a war

Between my tongue and lips


This greed consumes me

For hours and hours

Intoxicated by the pleasure

Of this edible flower


So sweet

With a little hint of sin

It has nourished my spirit

I shall never hunger again


A gift from heaven,

Sent to I...

Thank God for the abundance...

An endless supply ;-)
