The flowery mountain: Psyche, a woven garment? Acts and breeds, deeds and listening Wait on us, like a stone to lament: History... Antiquity and the skip of vice, into a vision Vertigo is a legend of caring, in a sun's epistolary Sigh with the blessed, going to heaven... The first of many The burst of a faerie The worst of a carry The curse of sharing Silence is wisdom with a dangerous puppet... Decency in a quiet avail, is to liberate a stare... Steel in love with its self, is a champion, not a harlot... The brow of suggestion is never heard, unless seasons scare... The holiday on the mountain: Is for any who would believe, an ******* smiles... Sincerity adding itself, is our only hope, the asking is plain The moon with one, is still a more cordial life than this hell...

How, An Idiot Knows The Difference...
Scar tissue It's ugly stuff Though some people say It's beautiful In its own way Like hardened lava After the eruption Of pain you once knew Tugging on your soul And heart Making it hard to beat Leaving you breathless It's like a ghost That haunts your every move A reminder of the past And of your strength That you got this far You made it through Scar tissue It's tough stuff But so are you

Scar Tissue
I watch the blade pierce my skin, yet I feel nothing Pearls of blood gather in the seams of the wound An errant thumb smears across the coppery beads of life Staining the subtle, spidered paths of my palms I lack the courage to push deeper I try not to curse the steel as I feel my hand shaking A crooked "T" forms out of the scar tissue An odd accompaniment to the fading india ink smiley face I so proudly engraved at 12 The angry pink flesh of my grief cries out for recognition With a pasty blue grin, the naivety of my youth only mocks this unspeakable pain Tears fall quietly down my face as I prepare for another wave of pretending... Another wave of forgetting    Of regretting...       Of blood letting.
