A young man from Spain
Fell in a cold dark drain
When asked, “Are you Mad?”
Said, “No, I’m insane.”
This young man from Spain
From the fall in considerable pain
Attracted a large queue
But him none did rescue.
In his fall he saw no gain
This injured guy from Spain
He exclaimed “Oh, what surprise,
I’m showered with only advice!”
Many suspected his brain
Asked if he was or wasn’t in pain
It really was suspect which side was sane
The ones gathered or the man from Spain!
“How funny” said the men and women
“Surely your eyes were not open”
Some said, “It’s simple and plain,
The fellow is plain insane.”
They said, “You should have been more alert
More cautious and certainly more smart
They all agreed the men and women
He should not have been in the drain.
The unfortunate man from Spain
Wondered what’s the bargain?
Though pain made him blue
Why was nobody coming to his rescue?
They left the poor man to his fate
Expressing anguish and regret
We never knew which side was insane
The crowd that gathered or the man from Spain!

Both can ****
        The only difference is
                      Cigarettes shatter lungs
         She shatters everything

            I remembered the first moment
my lips pressed the filter
     as I lit it up breathed it all
                savored every smoke
       as if we covered up painful lies
        in a container of painkillers

The same way  
we used to pressed our lips
     sparked something between us
           savored every moment we had
    as if our love was a rose
               in a valley of tulips

Let your heart unleashed
let your mind released
let your tears flow
let them wash away your feelings
of destruction.
Let your soul free once again and
welcome the cooling breeze
of sunset's late glimmer.

Lead me to the dark blue ocean.

Push me down, help me sink.

It can’t get any darker.

I am ready, drowning is my will.
I wrote this a year ago when I was headed to the bottom again. I'm glad I don't identify myself in those lines anymore, at least most of the time.

You couldn't reveal,
you wouldn't say.
This Mask I wore,
It weighed me down.
You didn't care,
It wasn't fair.
I held my breath,
You didn't say.

and now, . . .

I watered down your poison.
You cannot hold me now.
My arms held out,
waiting.

Nothing.
You'll run.
I know you'll run.
oh,
ok kid.

Such a shame.
Admit.
Regret.
Oh kid.

Warm, blurry, dancing,
The dust mites swing through the air,
My fingers curling his hair in small circles,
I close my eyes and drift into the abyss,
The gentle hum of radio
Playing a smooth sweet melody,
I stretch out like a cat sun bathing
This basking warm feeling in my chest
Spreads and flows through my veins
Driving, down, slowly
Caressing the  elegant  Keys through the window,
Soft, and warm like the grass we lay in as we gaze up at the dark curious sky.
The purple haze of the mountain painting  brilliant streams of sunlight on the cotton clouds,
You’re strong  comforting  arms Surround me like the ocean,
Silky and silent I watch as the luminous stars dim and glow in the  velvet blue sky,
I want to stay with you,
I want build and grow and climb with you,
But that’s for time to decide,
I close my eyes and slip into the sun
Warm, blurry, dancing

She loves me
He lusts for me
They need me
You long for me
But I am alone
