A Side of Her
Seen yet unseen
Hard fought wrinkles
Lining eyes, lips
Skin bemoaning truths
Curvaceous hips
That couldn’t carry
The desolate burden
Windswept eyes
Visions clouded over
Resignation
Innocence taken
Saddle shoes running
Laces tethered to dreams
Cornucopia of lost memories
Wrapped happiness
Joy that burst
Death before dying
Wiser Now
Hard fought wrinkles
Lining eyes, lips
Skin bemoaning truths
Curvaceous hips
That couldn’t carry
The desolate burden
Windswept eyes
Visions clouded over
Resignation
Innocence taken
Saddle shoes running
Laces tethered to dreams
Cornucopia of lost memories
Wrapped happiness
Joy that burst
Death before dying
Wiser Now

I'm more than ..
I'm more than sex
I do other things
I'm an expert at trash recycling
Known far and wide
There will be a book
Followed by a film
Broadway show in the works
Giving lectures
In demand
I get recognized a lot
Get great tables at restaurants
It's thrilling
Pretty hot right ?

Your Turn To Listen
Theres a banging at the door
But i refuse to let you in
Ive given you so much of me
This time you will not win
Fuck these thoughts and all your lies
Im doing this for me
You won't distort this happiness
I will not let that be
All my life Ive given in
Ive let you have control
The monster I created
By letting you feed off of my soul
But she frightens you, I sense the fear
Your desparation shows
As your grip on me begins to wane
The stronger our bond grows.
Im not running this time
I...

Lady
I’ve been called many things in my life
Yet everyone can agree that I’m a woman of my word
I’m either seen as a bane or a potential prized wife
It honestly depends on what mood I’ve stirred.
Don’t set me on a throne below my class
I can be your dream come true or your worst nightmare
I’m worth more than diamonds; don’t treat me as if I’m crass
I can be your source of comfort or the cause of your despair.
I’m so sweet and innocent; you can’t get enough of me
You act hot and then cold; your heart is full of glee
Just by...

Reaching Myself
It's so good to hear you sounding so good and happy, man that's awesome!
It's good to hear about someone out there destroying it
It's so hard to do anything these days
Got that right
You gotta pass through so many nowhere's and plow through so many nobody's to get anywhere
All the miles each and every day you have to go through just to get to yourself

What is this I feel?
Its hard to explain
Its like walking in the sun
While dressed for the rain
Theres a quiet in my mind
But I'm tensed for the fight
Like a calm before the storm
It doesn't feel right
Doors being opened
Without the slightest hesitation
Access being given
Without indepth examination
I feel...good
Cant believe I'm saying that
Weightless and at ease
Still waiting for combat
Can I put the weapons down?
Let go of this war?
This battles all Ive ever known
Can...

Number One
There is only one number
The number one
All other digits are cluttered
I have too much confusion in my life
In order to annihilate my confusion, my time wasting activities,
I must get to one after the smoke clears
She will be my only weakness
Like many instances, things are not always what they seem
Many weaknesses are blessings in disguise, clouds with silver linings
She is my weakness
She is my blessing

Empty
Im so empty inside
I feel fucking hollow
Like Ive been gutted
Finding it hard to swallow
Staring at the wall
For hours on end
Ive given up
I cant even pretend
Theres a weight of nothing
Deep in my chest
My heart is dead
My head is stressed
The future holds nothing
My past holds me down
Stuck in between
Are the tears of a clown
Why cant I get right?
Why am I stuck?
Why do I cling to the dark?
Why cant I give a fuck?
Why can't I give a fuck? ...

Drink More Milk
Am I nothing
But skin and bones?
My wrist is the same size
As someone else’s ankle
And my breastbone can be seen
No matter how I stand
Sometimes when I turn to the side
I wonder if I disappear
I cannot think of myself
As anything but a skeleton
But skin and bones?
My wrist is the same size
As someone else’s ankle
And my breastbone can be seen
No matter how I stand
Sometimes when I turn to the side
I wonder if I disappear
I cannot think of myself
As anything but a skeleton

A Confessional
Truth be told, the picture I painted of him was created with pain. I couldn’t accept that he didn’t want to build a life with me and I couldn’t accept that I no longer wanted that myself. The fairytale I held onto as a means of survival had disintegrated and I was left floundering in a sea of uncertainty. I had been here too many times before and our tragic romance did not belong here also. It belonged on the pedestal I had placed it along with him and my impossible expectations. I used his kindness and patience as a bandage, ripping it off frequently so the pain could make me feel alive not...

Queen of My Garden
In the garden of life, I once danced to tunes not my own,
Twirling for smiles, for applause, bending till I broke.
I wore a cloak woven from threads of your expectations,
Colorful yet suffocating, pleasing yet so hollow.
I walked a path where the two-faced Joker shows,
Their smile, a twisted serenade of deceit,
Their hands, shuffling lies like cards under the stage light's beat.
But in my hand, a card more fierce, more stark
The Queen of Spades, she rules the dark.
Her edges sharp, her bearing regal and composed,
Amid the thorns, her...

Coupling
I've been married
to women,
they're messy,
confuse and uncertain.
I've been married
to men, they're messy,
unexpected and defensive.
I've been married to myself
and we both know
what to expect
from each other
and pleasure is easy
when you know what to do
to each other's bodies.
Me and myself
are doing very well,
thank you very much.
