Radiator

Last night, I sat on top of my radiator, the window cracked slightly open
So I could feel the wind brush my feet

And for only the third or so time,
the cold voice in my head whispered
suicide

It was not a want
More a playful experiment with ideas

The voice ran a quick calculation
Of how easy it would be just to
fall
Go into the bathroom, grab a razor and
answer some higher call

And I recoil from the thought
Not because I know it should seem
wrong
But because I'm scared of how easy it would be

I lean toward the egde of the radiator

The I pull down the shade of the window and walk away.

Bitten

The egde
of a smoke

It's tapped
Out -

I seize
a whisking night

That brushed me
cajoling me
like lemon berries
bitten under the moonlit star sky

the lustful bite that tests your heart + body

Lost In Love

I stood alone on the egde of the night.

Listening to the waves as they beckon the light .

Darkness surrounds the whole of my soul,this murky deep blackness that is so cold.

Lost and lovelorn is my plight I asked you to be with me here tonight.

But that was not what fate had in store, Alone with my demons I stand on the shore .

How did I get here so close to deaths door.

The cool salty water beckons me forth, with the promise of peace and enduring warmth.

Addicted to ******* up

He lifts his shirt and starts to cry,
    When he sees what he did
       just to get bye.


So if a Scar tells a Story,
he never wrote a lie.

Just one more drink,
One more high
                                             Im fine, its ok

His 'control'          was just a lie
As he starts to bleed
as he wants to die

He realizes

Addiction is his only friend
      Now he's on the egde
IT walked him to the end
of a comforting  ledge
            and whispered

        Jump

The Vow

Her knuckles red
made tight around her
bouquet
as she prepares
to fasten herself
to him.

She is an orchid
midsummer bloom
and blowing into
Autumn.

Last night she lingered
on the egde of a dream
cats eyes
forest green

Trees trembling
Summer solstice
those women in hats
dancing

Spinning into the night.
He presses himself
into her palm.
Its just us now
He says.

Drowning

I stood alone on the egde of the night.

Listening to the waves as they beckon the light .

Darkness surrounds the whole of my soul,this murky deep blackness that is so cold.

Lost and lovelorn is my plight I asked you to be with me here tonight.

But that was not what fate had in store, Alone with my demons I stand on the shore .

How did I get here so close to deaths door.

The cool salty water beckons me forth, with the promise of peace and enduring warmth.

Power of faith

We all come across
a bridge
at some point
In our lives
When we find ourselves
at the end of the road,
on the egde of a cliff...
Not knowing that
The tides can be turned
if we take
a leap of faith
and trust Almighty..
In the world of evil amd doubts
- It's the faith
that splits the sea
and moves the mountains

First Strike

Yes
You are the first strike
The flint, the steel, the silver spark
Yes, you are, in fact, burning alive
You dissolve against the test
Melting quantum cotton candy
At the speed limit of Gods hot mouth
Yes
you're the dancing static of dreams
A fortuitous concourse of atoms
Yes you are already dead & birthless
Your gigantic solitude swallows entire copper colored mountain ranges
Vast cloud choked landscapes, silent forests and still lakes, where rolling planets lull and white dwarfs, red giants gas and sputter.
All/Not.
Yes you are born again
Neither lost nor found you find yourself
Awake at the dark hollow egde of another decaying era
But your foundations smoldered
Long before the deep Stone Ages
Remember?
before blood signaled Tanged Point Technocomplexes before the cardinal idiot's first monolithic abstraction-before the first eye ever blinked against the light
We mingled
dangling our feet over the edge a while there in that anti-light dawn
vertigo
before the flow took us again
remember?

Rolling down

Rolling down the avenue
Never hurt an honest man
Burned out
Laying tired
Oh so Misterioso
Fall asleep in love
Flirting with everyone
Dancing on the egde of a kiss
Concrete slabs and car crashes
Cartoons and cereal

— The End —
