Il fait trop de bruit dans ma tête Les voix de mes peurs Fouillent les blessures de mon ame Leurs braillements occupent chaque recoin Et mangent l'oxygène de ma boîte crânienne Je leur hurle qu'elles ont tort Que je refuse d'écouter leurs cris Qui veulent fendre mes certitudes Mordre le silence Dans l'enfer de ma conscience Anéantir mes voeux de sérénité Pour mieux me persuader Que je suis un démon déguisé Mais mes tortionnaires insistent et aboient Une litanie de confessions forcées Ces bêtes jappent leur perfidie Ressassent que je me trompe que je mens Que je vole que je triche Que ça ne sert à rien Que je suis définitivement perdue Je ne peux pas arrêter ce bruit Dans la douleur de ma lucidité Je peux seulement tenter de l'ignorer Le contourner d'une parenthèse Le temps d'une course salvatrice Dans un grand rayon de soleil Dans les profondeurs des eaux froides Dans quelque ligne de poésie Mais les images intrusives surgissent encore Des amas de chair Des flammes de l'enfer Ou au contraire un noir total Un puits sombre et abyssal Et je me débats de toutes mes forces Je hurle mon cri d'impuissance Pour conjurer ces visions atroces Je projette la force de ma résistance mentale Je cours de plus en plus **** De plus en plus vite Mais on ne s'évade pas de son destin Encore moins de sa prison intérieure

Incontrôlable
Les pensées ne sont que pensées, Des fantômes nés dans mon esprit, Silhouettes que je vois danser Et que je nourris malgré moi, sans répit. C’est une machine infernale, Qui tourne, invente, se déchaîne, Créant démons, visions fatales, Monstres gonflés de peur ancienne. Mais ces monstres, sous la lumière, Ne sont que pantomines fragiles. Quand j’écris, ils deviennent poussière ; Quand je cours, leur pouvoir vacille. Le soleil les fait fondre un moment, Sans les dissoudre entièrement : Ils reviennent, inlassablement, Dans un perpétuel mouvement. Je cherche la force pour enfin Éteindre la lanterne magique, Ancêtre des mirages sans fin Où ma tête se complique Pour laisser mon esprit reposer **** de ses visions insensées.

La Machine infernale
Sometimes i wonder... If the things i want are things i need If these glasses really help me to see If there was ever a need for a king and a queen What its gonna take for my insides to beam Most days I ask... Am I considering all sides of the situation? Am i the Frankenstein of this creation? Could this be blamed on my medication? Why am i filled with such frustration? But typically I'm just left feeling... Like the push and pull is uneven Like someone is always leaving Like its too broken to recieve again Like theres gotta be something I can believe in.

Ruminate
An oblique shoe string Hangs from a power line knotted through the wrong holes A baby carriage on the sidewalk just left out in the cold a golden autumn November tree sheds her last leaf she weeps and she mourns nothing left to be solved these puzzles make me sick pieces are rotted mold when you put them together its a lonely kid the letters blank ink pens run out of code The apartment I live in is still the Bloodiest brick red stained relationships I neglected Its a splattered picture on my white wall Three wolves each take turns trying to blow me down i guess these children stories held Some sort truth to them after all I just stand tall like the effiel tower im builts for world affair Im was just hoping for this morning to be a symbol of peace listen for a silent noise a whisper a vendor yelling in the street but its just loud its violent creatures and its laying in my bed next to me

Oblique shoe string
Is your bedroom ceiling, As dark as mine? Can you see in, The night? Is it pebbled, Is it flat, What do the, Shadows look like? Can you look up, And see your dreams, Or just see concrete, And beams.

Bedroom Ceiling
I found a boardwalk in the woods leading, seemingly, to nowhere, In a timberland swamp I knew from much younger days; Decaying and rotten, Most likely long forgotten. I wondered how long it had been there, abandoned to its fate: Quietly mocked by the still standing timbers, As yet spared the sawmills blade, For its needless sacrifice, useless decay As its strength is silently weathered away; used but unrequited, wasted, faded and unmade. I followed along its decrepit path as far as I could make, and so laughed to myself as I thought aloud, "Such is life's disarray."

My memories become Motionless in midnight Adept to freeze frames Still seconds of past scenes Linger on auditory loops Repeat, remix, replay Motionless my memories Become in midnight And at some point The Spielberg center of my soul Screams cut

Special Screening In Solitude
Time is a monster, that eats away your soul. A nibble here. A nibble there. Until it takes its toll. Unstoppable. Unmeasured. Undeniably the truth. Time is a monster. And it's favorite food is youth.

The Monster Eating us All
Even in the darkest night With winds cold kiss that tempest that batters I would find or make shelter and light To ruminate on all that matters Of want and needs Of those that do and don't Of good and bad deeds Of those that will and won't Of death decay growth and life Of joy and sorrow Of triumph and strife Of hope on the morrow Of dew on a blade of grass Of sunlight through trees Of critical mass Of conversations and the flight of bees ~Wes Noneya ©

Weathered Wooden Walk
To let go...to release one's grip, Not hold on anymore, Walk away, Rip it off, Break it... Though it cannot be undone. The point is...it was done, It occurred, or it happened! What was, was What is, is What is to be, will be! What we were, we were What we are, we are What we will be...well...if we are to be, will be! To let go is not easy. It could be, but... It also could not! We could let it be, Whatever that may be, However it is to be! 'To let go requires the now. What was done requires to let go now. Let go now what was done, Also requires to let be what will be! To let go and let it be is part of the process of being, It requires the now. To let it go... And let it be... Past. Present. Future. The one that stands above these is the present. The present allows us to look to the past for lessons for the future. The present is the best present! The present! The gift!

The Present
i dream of the day where i’ll be able to say i know how to enjoy Free Time, Me Time, Time Alone with no crimes, instead of yearning for hours at a job i deplore because i can’t bear myself anymore

I’ve always been drawn To the artists, The new greats, The aesthetes, The painters, The writers and the Ones who dress Like they’re out of A low budget Film from the 90s - Chic, noir, vintage, And just so strikingly Unique. But I am not Like them, and they Do not like me - I Am weird and aloof, Sloppy and silly, Withdrawn and witty, Sporadic in art and Thought. A nomad Of culture and crowds, Too deviant for them: Au revoir.

Art & Allure
Who am I? I'm nobody special. I drive the streets and give rides to strangers. I stare at the night sky waiting for something amazing to happen. I talk to God like how one talks to one's self. I kiss my kids good night or goodbye as if it's my last. I am waiting to die or for the coming of the holy king to establish his kingdom. I could come across as dull or perhaps gloomy. I adapt, but no longer... For it does not what I do because I prefer to be nobody, because I am letting go! Enoch walked with the Lord and was no more... So to I shall be!

It's warm as I settle in. My heart picks up speed, We race in the thrusting motions, Then calmly settle when I am in between you.

In Between You
'If only' rules my life. If I would only be more responsible... If only I would be more daring... If only... If only... If only... If only... If only! If only I'd rid myself of these and just venture onward! If only... I would not be stagnant! If only!

If Only's
I am lost again. Truly! I have been here before, Therefore I must be going in a circle! Then I said, "Go forth!" Only to stay. Once more I say, "Go forth!" Again, only to stay. Fear. It keeps me stagnant. There is no growth, Much less development. My voice presents me as a pacifist, But my heart is a fury! I am but one of many lost, In need of saving, One who requires guidance, instructions, indications... Perhaps a sort of map if you will. The Stars point me to the North, But my dazed and confused heart says, "Stay right where you are" And a voice within that seems to say, "For you are not lost, but only walking blindly."

Blindfolded
Lie there, On the blanket, On the grass. Watch the leaf, Hanging by a thread, Glide down gradually. See the clouds, They intertwine, Seemingly to kiss. The butterfly will do just that... Fly. And the hummingbird, It's wings hum. This may seem cheesy, And perhaps all too cliche, But I swear to you...no photo will do this justice. One must lie there, In peace, Without a phone, care, or worry.

Outside
I am not here. I do not exist. Before I proceed, I must apologize, For I have made this about me, But... It is all I know at the moment. They will not hire me, Neither will they accept the line I have thrown. They will not inquire to find out what I could offer. This is not a complaint. I am merely stating what is obvious...to me! Talent, language, and skill, These are insufficient! Might as well do away with me. Just be rid of the unnecessary, And all will be just peachy. I am not here. I do not exist.

Nonexistent
Glorious morning dew... On each leaf of grass, On each leaf of the trees, Covering the window shields, But... If only I can **** the undying noise; The mowers near and far, The mechanical birds overhead, The storming of vehicles on the highways. Still... What glorious morning dew!

Glorious Morning Dew
Last night I saw you with pristine perception. After all, a voyage of discovery consists not in new landscapes, But in seeing things differently. And how I saw you as you kissed me consistently... Bare as the Lord sent you to this world, Not as the chic would have you, But as I would, And I was as aroused as any man could... Marks of having given birth at your belly, Sagging ***** from the feeding, Skin smooth as butter, And what my eyes beheld made my mouth water! It was you who initiated the expression, Which brought me so much fascination, As you expressed your love passionately, Done so gradually.

The Expression of Love (Last Night)
It feels like I am enslaved. I am stuck in a system in which I do not know how to conduct myself. Debts lie on the table. They want to impose their chicness. Pills are in my bag, And prayer on my tongue. I am the oddball, And the oddball desires to be free.

The Oddball
Feed my children Lord!! Food ain't scarce, but work! Seems as if I'm unemployable! Send rain Lord!! First send the downpour of water, Then send 20's, 10's, 5's, and singles as necessary! I don't ask for much except this Lord! It's not too much for an omnipotent being as you certainly are! Have mercy Lord!! I believe in you, but not half the block! Many in the world believe too, but the unbelievers are growing in number! Hear my cry Lord!! Feed my children. Send rain. Have mercy.
