my final act you’re the last of many but i treat you like you’re the only one. you exist in my guidelines, my timeline and my space. i am your maker and you eye me with such adoration only a creation can give you love me like no other as the pink, blues and yellow sprout from your scene you dance twirl and flip with nothing but excitement. you shake twist and dance as i extend your limbs one by one finding joy in this new freedom that only i can gift to you you are my final act and i cherish you dearly you hold a special place in my heart and i will never forget you as i place you in a corner you look up at me with those curious eyes a creation does not ask why it simply watched and waits for the outcome you will be content with whatever you give me you will smile and play and dance in what else i have created you will find pleasure in it and nothing else your corners are limitless to you but are my boundaries you gallop around them with precision and make no mistake you are never bored of these corners - no each corner you visit shows you something new i love your corner i think they are perfect just for you and only you you will remain in those corners no intermingling no reaching out to touch another you are isolated and you are sad and a perfect tear comes rushing down your porcelain i remind that there is no need to fret you are my creation - i made you you are my only one and exist in my world not my entire world - just the part i’ve given you your four corners there’s no escape no change nothing new stick to those corners and all will be well For I am a mad man and this is my cell you are truly my final act - my last painting on my wall. my wall so full of others but none are truly like you my last drop of life was poured into you and now i am complete i have suffered this feat, this sentence this life for in the next one you will be my wife - my companion my everything my only I promise.

I'll take you out like postmates, my message post entropy. Your presence be bound to mine when im post atrophy. When you're still entangled even post session. I'll order you like apostrophe as a "Post" trophy. Because it enounciates possession. You can see the writing on the wall, but you'll be writhing when I fall. Post human skill as I tie up loose ends for my posthumous ****

He shaved his hair. Claims no ownership To what’s gone While he proudly strokes What’s left curled up Above his lips. “No, I will not shave it Or share it with anyone. Definitely not With a bowl of soup.”

A Clear Sense of Ownership
I used to ask all the time What you wanted me to do But I finally figured out the truth It was me not you 'Cuz instead of falling in love with you I fell in love with the lies It wasn't what you did I loved I loved that you said you'd try I fell for your words of promise I overlooked your lack of action And then I would get mad at you for my dissatisfaction But really what the problem was the thing I couldn't see Was I fell in love with your words   Not your  reality.

Blame Me
so I surrounded myself with stuff it made me feel better worthy, an achiever bolstering my confidence stuff came through the post parcels to open everyday it was like Christmas stuff was in shops where people were happy to help spend my money it was like they were jealous wanting to live through me getting the stuff they wanted but I was paying then I began to worship stuff exclusive stuff one of a kind stuff then I woke up literally opened my eyes and saw all this **** how I had coveted it no friends, no relationship no emotion, no soul I was effectively dead some Egyptian mummy preserved in a living tomb full of all all the **** I'd need in the afterlife because I had no time to appreciate it all now so I sold my **** to people who were like me and I looked at them slavering over my old **** and I hated them like seeing my image in a mirror they were so pleased carrying off their prizes not realising it was all cursed they never owned anything just stuff someone would someday prize from their cold dead fingers

The sun rises over the hills touching everything turning it gold. The dew rises from the cactus as the scorpion rises from it's slumber; surely a sight to behold.   Another day has begun another story is yet to be told. For it has been written so many times it has became a story of old. But today is no different. It is the day the world was sold. Our protaganist a young man is not carried by the plot. He is not conflicted by his emotions. He needs no changing of his thought. He instead drives the story forward with the unraveling of his soul. He finds himself pitted between himself and the world. Like a tree that is battered by the wind refusing to fold. He is no ordinary man, he himself has a well defined goal. Although his expection is not certain he has yet be told that the road ahead is trecherous; it is filled with opstacles and it has many holes. His plan is to stand his ground and by no amount of money can this man be sold. If you find this man to be unwilling to change, there is something you must know; this man has been here before. This man has seen with his eyes just how the story goes. His countrymen are in turmoil held captive by the idea that a tyrant would have complete power or complete control. They suffer from hunger for lack of rations. They trust not one another for fear that they may delivered over to the one that is in control. They our desperate for a hero But little do they know that one of them would spark a fire that would trigger a movement that no authority on earth could slow. Rumors of his valor would spread across the land. Surely this is he that would take the stand. All to soon would the time be that a man would rise to power. That there would be a new king in the land. One who could break the powers and fairly distrabute the wealth by the turning of his hand. The people were filled with hope while the weak could barely stand. His movement grew in numbers his trust would cascade in the enemies betrayal amongst themselves. Even the powerful tyrant's minions would show support for this man. The moment was here so fast as if it were controlled opposition. Now it was time for the peoples voice to be heard. It was time they take a position. Put they're trust in man or support the opposition. As you would guess the choice was all so easy, so many would say. Little did they know that would be when they gave what little they had left away. Plunged into chaos for the people had been betrayed. This man was not they're hero. He was the embodiement of they're willingness to give it all away. -RSC

The clock on the wall is busted I don't think I'll fix it What causes the hours to fly? Maybe our trespass to count it The clock on the wall is slow I don't think I'll speed it up Why am I always so stressed? It could be I am possessed The clock on the wall has stopped I don't think I'll start it Why can't I not be still? Perhaps that machinery is my ill

Broken Clock
What if I allow myself, to be myself, while still being happy? What if I stop being the bully, and become cheerleader full time? What happens when I just trust myself as a default? Well then I guess, I'd be free.

Music doesn’t belong to me It never has I thought I’d discovered it Well, actually I did It’s just that others Had gotten there before me I wanted it to be mine Because It made me feel Special Resplendent Alone but Less so So many dead musicians So many unborn So many much better than I It’s ok Because I Discovered music

Music Doesn’t Belong To Me
Who owns grief? The one who cries the loudest? The one who acts the most disturbed?      Or asshole-ish?      Or eerily withdrawn and quiet? The one who had The Best Relationship with the dead?      The most unresolved? The one who feels the most guilt?      Who feels out of place at the funeral?      Who resents the world?      Who is named in the will? How many people can have a share? Who is allowed a say on the Board of Grief?      Are children underage? How powerful are the grieving? Enough to command a neighbor’s chicken soup?      Casserole?      Cake?      Family heirloom?      House?      Family entire?      Telephone call?

This vessel is not yours, But the wheel will still turn Under your hand. She creaks at your step As though you may break through Her soft Swiss boards. She is stronger than you. And she is still yours in part. Do not forget that this Is the only reason you do not Crash below her decks. She may turn for you, But you are not welcome Under the floor you let rot.

you think that flowers are pretty and the forest smells fresh and they are all made for you just for you. you think that the green grass is soft and the seas and skies and sand are all for you. you think that nature is generous and kind and good and pure just like you i also wonder about humanity’s ever-increasing records of stupidity, their eyes blind with anger entitlement suspicion frustration the heat of rage miniature suns burning and blistering and destroying everything they see touch anything in reach, thinking that all is theirs and theirs is all they don’t see the blood on the floor and the bodies lying all around. they step on them like pillows on a road, rolling over them like the stones they are, don’t see the teeth and eyes and edges lying all around, all the traps biding their time, waiting to crush a few pebbles the true monster has yet to show, eyes shut but not asleep, dormant but not oblivious waiting in the shadows of the air and the black days that the humans pass by like the stones they are, blood pooling bodies rotting, and the humans can’t care won’t care couldn’t care less as they continue to fall time is ticking and so is their patience, a silent bomb waiting to be free of the grasps of dirt and soil soiling its body, when finally nature strikes back, strikes hard, as the humans fall ten by ten, grass blades flying and petals dying, when nature reclaims what has been stolen nature will come back, and erase humanity like moss on a stone, eating and destroying and poisoning their already heavy hearts and souls, dragging them over down into the earth, till their blood has replaced theirs and their bones have melted back where they came from, and humans finally realise the moment just before they fall from the earth, that it was all in their minds they never owned nature, they were the ones that needed her nature never needed humans they’re just mouldy stones at the bottom of a fish tank long forgotten

"A child may not be considered a piece of property- only the child possesses genuine rights the Right to be respected as a person from the moment of his conception" He was born in the year 1964 A world on the brink of splitting open, On the edge of revolution, progress, protest The stained glass windows speckled from the rain Incense and old wood covered in fingernail imprints Matching those on the sides of his arms A small choir singing hymns of Salvation and Praise His mother nudges him "stand up straight, eyes forward" A mind wandering from the homily on Sacrifice To the images of bombings in Hamburg Adorned with black and white collars Gripping an unlabeled wine bottle The children sprinted through the wooded trails Mud spattering across their legs and dress shoes The others spun in circles, as if trapped in jewelry boxes Their ankles dressed in pink ribbons This was no place for innocence and imagination But one of penance and prayer He kept his toy cars and trains in a green metal box under his bed It wasn't much, but they were his Through them locking him in the closet for hours And being told to not speak unless spoken to The times of self expression, of emotion, feeling Shamed and forced suppression - turned to repression These cars and trains, they were his Mental illness is a myth Suicide is a mortal sin We decide who you are You cannot feel Kneel down Be quiet Say your prayers

through Mirrors, or infinite reflections
Dolly, Dolly, play with me let's braid your curly hair dress you up and take you out where everyone can see Dolly, Dolly, sleep with me let's curl up here in bed I'll be your warmth if you lie still and give in to my every dream Dolly, Dolly, look at me why do you not respond? I'm calling you, Dolly, dear why aren't you returning? Dolly, Dolly, I'm sorry, dear I haven't time to wait my fingers ache, my body breaks I must be leaving here Dolly, Dolly, buried there six feet under my creation Here Lies Dolly, Beloved Plaything played to death by strangulation.

Foam and froth Ebb and flow Moon and sun To and fro You and I Yes and no You said yes She said no You blamed me I blamed you When you left I pulled through When I fell I fell hard You felt bad Sent a card I forgave Took you back All the guilt Broke your back You proposed I said yes You designed Your best dress Honeymoon, of your choosing Saw you watch teenage floosy Catered to your every need Watched as I got on my knees Taking care of someone else While you watched, and pleased yourself Now I'm taking care of me Feeling fine and feeling free Taking care of whom I please On my back, or on my knees Wistful sea or waning wave I fulfill that which I crave....

Wistful Sea
You. Are. Mine. You punctuate each word with a ****** Words you need not say But knew you must Engulfing me, owning Your warmth, your caress Like dusk devouring the day You. Are. Mine. I want your words inside me Drowning me, owning Like waltz between my thighs Keeping a pace Like saying goodbyes You. Are. Mine. Marking every inch of my precipice For one last time Before you relinquish me Like loving you was a crime

Even the best laid plans go wrong, The unexpected comes along. Before you know it, suddenly, You are in new territory. When that happens what do you do? Do you give up or see it through? 'Tis a decision you must make... To give up or a risk to take. You may decide to take a chance, To fly by the seat of your pants, You might stick with it, come what may, Just let the chips fall where they may. Or choose to play it safe you may, Retreat to fight another day, Decide the risk is just too great With too much left to chance, to fate. Perhaps it is a hunch, your gut, The weighing up of ifs and buts That helps you reach a decision That which for you is the right one. You and you alone have to choose And whether you win or you lose, Your reasoning to you is known, The decision but yours to own.
