Bath-Time Reverie
Drip drip drip Water falls in the warm shallow still tub Scrub scrub scrub Dirt and grime left behind feels so sublime

Embracing the Cold: Septembers Farewell
The last leaves fell of my tree today. They dance, frolic, and rustle about, while glaring at me mockingly. In the background Green Day plays, Wake Me Up When September Ends. A fitting soundtrack to this moment of dread.

Exiting the Matrix: Elegy of Eleutheromania
Signs from my higher self keep landing in front of my face. My own voice whispers “It’s the Matrix, not a race”. Guess I’m both Neo and Morpheus, my own self I’m trying to wake.

A Raindrop on Repeat. Top Story - September 2024.
Satin sheets cling to my sweaty skin. They would tell a tale of sin, but today it’s no such thing. My bed an empty vessel of vast memories of the past. I reach out to empty space, it’s nice but also sad. Melancholy manic thoughts wash over me, after scenes of gratuitousness play out. Looking at past failures and success I wonder what life is all about. My thoughts so loud they echo in this vast empty house. I long to hold one close, yet push away like a body builder lifting plates. I long and crave to have, yet spend and give my money away on frivolous amenities and vices each day. Then, I look and ask why neither love nor money choose to stay. I’ve had both and gave them all away.

Crows Heart
Silent sin fractured my heart I watched our candle as it burned, and melted away Like a feather falling slow Exposed you as a scavenger, your heart dark as a crow

Breaking The Silence
Striking thirteen, it’s 1989, silence me, cancel me! Impose your control and call it what you will! Listen in, and block me cause you don’t agree with my views.

Petals in Peril
Soft petals like snowflakes gently fall. In a delicate last dance they float. Like a final swan song before curtain call.

Sordid Seduction
She’s seduction, mind control; sordid thoughts infused Im silent, consumed by a lecherous muse Lascivious intentions I know she purposely induced

In His Grasp..
Silently attacking my soul It started before I existed Lamenting in my state of spiritual dissonance Eternal torment persisted

Void Of Girlfriends Past
Simple act of quiet defiance. Instead of living in silent longing. Let my finger do the talking. End the pain of shadows past.

The Two Headed Beast Within…
Stoic thoughts and solitude seem the only solution If I care then devastation surely finds it way near Let your emotions die; their only good advice

Wet Feet 2
Day One My phone has no signal out in the middle of the Caribbean Oceans. When I jumped overboard I didn’t anticipate it would take this long for my beautiful siren to find me. It’s been roughly 18 hours now and I finally decided to press record on the voice recorder of my phone. At least if my body is discovered dead of starvation they will know it wasn’t fowl play.
