Rememebering loss
TD Rucker Nov 2016
There was a day the world stood still.

I saw the future held in your eyes.

It seemed to good to be true.

And alas, it was.

Ripped from my world,

To dwell in a house of anonymity.

Truth it reaches inside your soul.

At least this is a dream I hope you hold.

Tomorrow is another day,

And passed another year.

And you won't ever hear

The falling of this wounded tear.

Fire Ice part 3
TD Rucker Jun 2014
Now the spirit raised
By a ******
or two.
Through hell
and back
But back
is where i choose.
A program of abstinence

Of ****** to ******
They know of this fire ice
thick and chunky.

The death
of one life
Birth of another.
Now i live
I give
No longer do i play,
But pray
For my brother
Who still desire
The fire.

the truth
TD Rucker Jun 2014
I Speak and write only the truth.
The previous sentence is a lie.
I move throughout life without couth
I hate that word and this fly.
Simplicity at its best
Here in these words
A blue Jay in his nest
On my car, his turds.

drugs lost my son
TD Rucker Jun 2014
a destructive force
that provides power
has resulted
in my darkest hour
The Sun has been hidden
And forbidden
from my eyes
through flaming hoops of despair
I must realize the son's eyes
worry for care.
sacrifice today
with tears of fear and pain
to enjoy a better tomorrow
       without sorrow
from the destructive games
the days will brighten
as the Sun clears the clouds
I will move the Sun
if my emotions are loud
one more day
allow me to stay
then plunge me into darkness
until I can bring the world
for
     which
            the sun
                       exists.

A Short Love Note
TD Rucker Jun 2014
I saw the sun today.
it did not rise nor did it set,
it lingered
in the air
at first my thought was of despair
then it turned
turned
Turned
to you for whom I care
the lingering sun then made me smile because i knew
you
could enjoy it for a while.
so when you feel the sun
gently touch your skin
Know I'm smiling from within
this horrible place
dark and dank
still
smilin'
in my prison

Thoughts of a criminal father.
addict thief impoverished loss of riches gained.
wanting better for my only son
and only sin has brought us close
to our goal.
Thoughts move forward
putting criminality behind
while we are lowest in our life.
Overcoming these roaches and rats
no friends have come
and THEY have my son
I want my son.

go with what I know?
or take my time moving slow?
these are the thoughts of a

Fire Ice Part 2
TD Rucker May 2014
Now I wonder how high the flame
when I think of those of Fame
how much better shooting ice
I draw it up and roll the dice
I register a fluffy vein
excitement excuses to pinch of pain
the flow is felt from pinch
to brain
and not just one
but every vein.
the burn in my body
is a foreshadowing event,
up in flames my will is spent.
I use to desire
"nice" and "higher"
now my soul wants ice
and it better be fire.
my life is gone
full of despair
only mama prays
or even cares
of course
she only prayed twice
since I died
from the

Fire Ice
TD Rucker May 2014
My mind had started to slow.
    Reverse this process
                     Let me go
                              Fast
My lungs become a freezer
           To hold the
                           Fire Ice
Close my eyes and feel the crystal-
                                     -ized
Ether poison of horridly wonderous taste.
         Feeling better
Not fast enough in my haste.
   While this is nice
              I want to FEEL the
                         Fire Ice
Rock to powder
               Powder to lines lines lines
          Lines that lie
With the promise of power
                Exhale, inhale
The burn I yearned
     Tears
            Feeling better burning higher
      From the
                            Fire Ice

New born (Christopher)
TD Rucker Jan 2013
The beauty and joy
In the eyes of a boy
Fresh flesh with a loss of rest
Needed from the journey of darkness to light
A long fight is still ahead, But
I'm here until I'm dead
Christopher
a guide in this world
Is all I am
To show you how to be a man
The world is cold and unfair
I'll give you a piece if kindly you'll share
Simplicity is key
To accepting life with dignity,
Integrity is yours to make
Choose wisely as it is also your fate.
Forever with you in your being
Even when nothing is what you're seeing
I'll give you whatever your heart desires.
For love is an all consuming passion of fire.
Today you cry and I console.
Tomorrow I'll die, and watch over your soul

TD Rucker Nov 2012
Pain that suppresses the soul
is a pain that brings forth reality.
Where can we go when all we want and know
is dangling you over a pit a vipers.
Venom seeps through the veins
of hate as we ingratiate our will
into that of another
a brother
or a lover
the world is as I see it.
For it can be no other way.
To alter that vision is to be you
then individuality is non-existent
We may not agree on everything
and trust may be cracked
But facts are facts.
The less you know
the more you believe.
And receive these words
from a soul lost in a world
Where people are flawed
and perfection doesn't exist.
I accept you encompasses all
When you think I lie
I die inside
But the past can't be changed
I'll be alright as you so gracefully said
and stoicism is eaten on bread
The life ...

Failure
I have failed again
I try to move forward and
Failure
NOthing lasts for me
Momentum begins to build
Failure
NOthing wants to stick
my thoughts are muddled and thick

Something must be said and written

A Luck Chance Killing
TD Rucker Sep 2012
Enjoying my evening stroll
I catch a glimpse of beauty.
Through a window and soft red light
Tonight may be a fulfillment
I detour through the yard
Excited, and rock hard
I peek into an open window
Moving the curtain I begin to climb
My heart is racing
I should turn around
Passed the table and up the stairs
I see her reflection in a mirror
slowly I creep to what I had peeped
Her scent wafted in the air
From the shower and her still wet hair
Another step
A creak
she spots me,
Startled, she screams
I run to her
Hand over her mouth
Her naked fighting body flailing
I slam my **** inside her
pain surges from her *****
violently I pound away
She stops her fighting and succumbs to my will
Her limp catatonic body bounces lifelessly
I release my self inside her
Oh ****
now what
Was it worth it
Oh yes
Standing over her I contrive a plan
To the kitchen I drag her
My other mind does concur
a butcher knife to slice her parts

Sick Mind of an Artist
TD Rucker Sep 2012
Her body was bound to a bed,
Lying naked and a shell of her former self
Arising from my lower self
I only want to help
Send her to a heavenly life
With silence, a knife.
A hole in her side
for me to put my piece inside
Arousal from her applause
A sick and twisted mind of laws
her screams of agony and pain
Until in her mind, only I remain
Her ankles were bound with rope
And a crimson river flows from a wound I created.
I created.
I am artist
Regardless of society
This is incomplete because I'm doing it from my phone. The idea struck me after watching a movie called "A Darker Reality " when I get to a computer I'll finish it if I can put my mind back in this sick place.

a man and his will
TD Rucker Aug 2012
What is a man who has his will stripped away?
Manipulated by the wiles of the essence form,
Rushed with flesh and breast to be denied
An onslaught of fleshly desire
overwhelming the senses
Consequence of the life sentence
Shame
Anger begins to boil with trouble brewing stew
Regret garnishing the platter of one's just dessert
Now the man is punished
inside and out
For his will being stripped
But alas I ask again.
What is a man who has his will stripped away?

The World Before You
TD Rucker Aug 2012
The world before you is bound by two roads.
Dense thoughts stop the mind from working.
A desired outcome bound by codes.
And devil in the shadows lurking.

The god of our time holds our fate,
every so slightly in his hand.
Creating an illusion of hate,
While sitting on his stand.

Martial Law
TD Rucker Aug 2012
The lines have become blurred
between lawlessness and legal
Shot in mid-air, the American Eagle
the symbol of our freedom dismantled
Big Brother can't handle
the fury of Liberty within the mind
of the time
of those that rise
Neighborhoods are war zones
each house a prison, overhead are drones
So Uncle Sam can listen.
We give up our rights
for our house and lights
Forgetting those who fight the good fight.
Patiently we wait
at the government gate
with a rumbling stomach and an empty plate.
Our words are weapons
that are kept in line
with threats of a fine or prison time
Road blocks or baracades, they're both the same
So government control
can remain.
Shooting an American seems routine
and daily life,
a twisted dream.
War is on our doorstep, just outside
from Big Brother there is
nowhere to hide.

Poverty, Life, and My Son
TD Rucker Aug 2012
How does a man express his dreams?
hopes and aspirations ripping at the seams.
Today we hope for tomorrow
for today is a time we borrow
the words I hear are violently violating
but they are just words
Words lack meaning so I've learned
and with time a promise is a lie
situations and circumstances dictate our lives
and control is as futile as scrating at hives
But we move forward in hopes of following through
and dreaming that tomorrow's forcast is bright and blue
Some of our moments send us into a depression
and we begin with the mental depredation
Raking ourselves over the coals
for being human and banking on our goals
Our goals move us forward and it's where I place my stock
but then I fail, and lie, and i hear a silent mock
from the sidelines of how I failed
but when I thought it, I saw how it sailed
high in the sky and success was a certainty
but failed I did, miserably.
Failure after failure I try to move on
only to stumble and wish today was gone.
Why can't life come with instructions?
Being born into this destruction.
It seems intuitive that someone would know
What this is for and where do we go.
I have a son almost here
and now it's for him I fear.
He is coming into a world of love and being poor
and odd combination and a spirit sore
I am losing my resolve
too many problems to solve
and the end is almost here
and the beginning of life is near
I must stand up and accept this fate
of poverty, and poverty I hate.

Rape

Soft and ivory
Her skin excited me
Her eyes aglow with light and life
Unknowingly seducing a beast
Thoughts not caring in the least
a feast of Passion and of flesh
my mind refusing to rest
My  heart is racing
My  feet are chasing
Under the lamp posts
I'm getting close
She has been caught
and is all I want.
Her eyes are filled with fear
whispering sweet ending in her ear
as her lips grasp for air
one last moment we share
struggle
power
force

The world has shined it's happiness upon my soul!
The light glistening off sweat in the mid-summer heat.
Beauty embodied in the emotional waves of pleasure.
you sacrifice for me
your body bleeds passion
as I whisper in your ears.
The love we make
Has yet to forsake
Extended through the years.
Tears of joy fall rapidly from my face
As it seems, I have won the rat race.
Not with money and riches
But with love and physical fixes
the sun appears high and bright
Day in and day out goodnight

My Latest and Last Muse
TD Rucker Aug 2012
The world seems dreary and dark
The light of a gentle spark
A new life to lead against the past
A forever shadow over me has been cast
Through the tunnel maze of life
A Muse of light appears
One of no direction
Yet a fulfilling perfection
My soul burns anew
My temperature as though I have a flu
The morrow brings forth a breath
Like no other of any depth
Passion flaming within my being
unto this Muse for which I'm seeing.
A lifetime of material
inspiration of the surreal

We are Americans
TD Rucker Aug 2012
We are Americans, confident and condescending, never pretending. Pretentious with a fictitious flare. Apologize? Cauterize our past
We will always be and forever last.
Past the hatred that spewed from our bowles. ******* and ***** disliked but grow. A show of force divorce from the norm.  
A new norm. A storm from the top to dismember the bottom. Mathematic and Systematic relief of liberty. Care from elite, delete, delete.
Depopulated with information. Education dedication a lie.
Down the rabbit hole of darker days. We stay,
Unblinded by the pictures they wave.
A flag.
The towers.
the showers of bullets
turrets from afar.
A star.
This is America
We are Americans.

As others are pulled away.
True to you
Through and through
You are from me
And I, apart of you.
When the walls seem to cave
And you need to be saved

Without fear
To protect you and watch you fall.
The days can be bright
And when all seems right
The illusion of perfection
Needs a correction
I am here
without fear.
Yet I'm scared that I may fail
That I can't be the wind in your sail
but you will never know
You will never know
How far I will go
Just to show

The shame that follows, out of place.
Deep inside you try to hide.
Escaping the pleasure of pride.

A Reality that has been forced.
Coerced
You are worthy and worth more
Let me remove your pain
Your tears are all that remain.
Let them fall upon my shoulder
I hear the sobs, as I hold her.

I love you without any fear
Tear by tear
sear your wounds
Let him die in your minds tomb.

With tiny legs and arms
helpless in a world that harms.

on faith alone.
I know the truth but renew my faith.

or shall the heavens open up

Given no light
Through the tunnel we're sent
No instruction or hint

wishing for property
for freedom comes
with ownership
Having just self

And to think

Will make myself disappear

Prison**
Prison, creates the deepest thoughts
Money, love, and respect  
You gain new aspects. Poverty, hate and power
Remain strong, never cower. Life is given,
Then must be taken.
This is the beginning,  
Don’t get shaken.
This life is free
And given to all The life takes everything
First of all.
The goal of living
Is to accept this life.
And to do what’s needed,
Reap all as it has been seeded.
To get the life
None will offer help, To live the life?
**** the troubles, struggles, and strife
The life is not free
By any means
But this life is done  
Scene by scene People often mistake this life
For a life The difference is pain
Shame and life.

Looking for a woman

I'm a perfectionist
   I'm perfect you see
I assure you none  
equal to me

Drifting on a cloud to a girl

Lost in this forever moment of time.

Holding tight so not to fall
Then the inevitable call
One day my eyes will clear
And release me from fear
So open your mind
Find the time

Waking this morning I see the sun raise the grass
I play with the idea of how to watch time pass
A sale in a yard to **** a little bit
Then do something legal
   and hit a little bit.
See my mother and her smiling face
or write about the horrors of the human race
What ever I decide will be a choice to enjoy
and toy with the boy
that seems so confined.
refined to a point of ilussionary lies
that have murdered my insides.
but Happiness are the clouds in my sky
and pride since I'm so fly.
touching the heavens with a goal of goodness
I'm rejected from my hoodness
But today will be what I make it
Maybe I could get a girl to fake it
But goals push forward against my being
And it's Mother's Day
So you know Who I'm seeing.

There's a man with no face
amongst an empire of apes

made of concord grapes
I carry the worlds weight
with enemies pursuein
but the king of the jungle

Now you can call this my sedition with semantics
or satanics toward the nation
but let me advocate this adverse scope.
And holla at my brothers who's down
and salvage hope.
we neglect our abilities
to comence to be
masters of our destiny
we choose to stay tantalllized by the streets
get lock up stay wishin we was free.
Ballisitics takin' away all our family
these anomalies
got us lookin stupid
forgetting we're not aboriginies
of this land oh man
we can never bow to the man
Choosin to bang
instead of abstain
from this
belligerant babble
the system rattles your cage
with rage
we anhiliate
assimilate
the emotions it produces
abstract thinkin causeing back lash
abysmal thoughts of how to get that fast cash
when cats dash past
we take everything
even all their back stash
but we tend to abnegate
the zenith
to which we are
entitled
archaic ways are the axiom  
so we need to absorb this alchemy
and abandom them
alliviate
this absentmindedness
and abtruse forces as our accomplices
There's a man with no face
amongst an empire of apes
that spill blood like fine wine
made of concord grapes

Right Or Wrong
TD Rucker Jun 2012
The apology that should be forth coming is shortend by truth.
When the world you know explodes before you,
and there is no fault but the insecurities of another,
There will be no apology.
I've seen the world through the eyes of those who believe as I
and seen it in reverse.
Here I sit with my fate to be determined
by the hands of morality.
When I do what I've always done.  
Yet I sense the blame on me and have no defense.
Since I know I wouldn't believe you if you were in my shoes,
What is wrong when it's determined outside of yourself.
And how can a man ever be right.

Ego? Yeah Right!
TD Rucker Jun 2012
I wish my world was in sync with what I am and what I want
but its not nor will it ever be.
To be loved is to be wanted, needed, accepted.
Trust is a no brainer too for those that are true,
too many nights I lie awake wondering what I can do
But the day comes as sleep takes my mind
and in the morning light I find
a woman that wants to be mine.
Forced by the forces of the world to remain the same
I look deep into the back of my mind and once again find
a love that is there but refuses to cross the line.
why can't I have everything I want?
Others do and are content with what they have
because they have what they want.
I wish I was a simple man that wanted simple things
But I'm as simple as a deafening silence.
Oxymoronic with a demonic emotion that remains selfish
yet selfless in all I do.
May my ego be taken from me someday
and on that I shall lay
upon my grave.
My ego is all I am that keeps me moving
and daily it is attacked without regard
I had a belief that I was great at something.
But then I *** to find out
I'm not even great to be looked at.
Here is my ego on display for the world
and here is a man broke and broken.

Jealousy
TD Rucker Jun 2012
Jealousy is a strange demon.
I go through my girlfriends pics and I find exactly what anyone would expect to find.
Memories.
How can I ever be jealous of a memory?
I mean she had a life before me
I wish she didn't.
It would be nice if everything disappeared.
He's specter that won't go away.
She holds him in my minds eye
closer than she wants
but further than I believe.
There is nothing I can do.
I can't mention it to her because its irrational
and built on jealousy;
which has no place in what her and I are building.
The days ahead are going to be harder
than the ones that have past.
Joy may be the outcome
or devastating sorrow.
As for me on this night of sleeplessness.
I post to Facebook
looking for solace in words.
I love her,
she loves me
Our future together is bright.
She is driven and intelligent.
How he let her go
I will never know,
but the fact remains
that I am here
and he is not.

The world has rained it's sadness upon my chest.

It's bitter sweet fruit I reluctantly swallow
As it's forced down my soul.
A reminder this day
the forces display
their power
And remind me how insignificant I am.
Alone I dwell in the house of the blind,
connected to one by proximity
And the rest by thought.
Let not my pain strange the joy
Of time moving and exhibiting its change.
For my brother's time
And mine

Fluffy puffy cotton ***** apparently frozen up high
The only reminder that life moves on
Is a butterfly that got up and is gone
The moment before was perfect and serene
Revealing all the mysteries in a hinted gleam
I missed it but I know it was there
I hope I catch it next time but Bliss is So rare.

— The End —
