blind angle
your veiled nakedness
almost sacrosanct
unavailable and silent
washes my sore eyes
makes me tear up
your icy turpitude
cuts out my face
in bands of blue
unrecognizable and
little receptive to pain
your disruptive nudity
glues to the retinas
tears me silently
and is almost colorless
without any corruption

Pictures of Childhood Part 3
(Dedicated to my parents with love, who wanted the best for me and did the best they could.)
Mom tells me I'm the best at everything. That I'm better than all the other kids. She picks out all my clothes for me. Tells me what to say and what to think. When I disappoint her, she takes away her love. It's like hands that hold yours and they're suddenly retracting. Leaving and being placed back in their lap. I feel like I'm six again and lost in the mall. Frantically searching for her. Where's my mommy? I ask every stranger. But no one knows. She's gone.
Piano...

“No One Can Love Me” She Whispered To The Silence
I write to tear her name from my head
to hammer out a cliche with a near empty
ball point pen that I scratch too hard onto
virgin paper
use it as a mechanism to nail me here
prevent me running the streets
lowing at the moon
picking daisies
plucking petals with
she loves me
she loves me not
echoing off cracked concrete
her make-up always done to perfection
she said it was to disguise herself from
the devil when he came looking
her grenade-launcher-heart
locked and loaded
she could spin...

Why?
Proved to be futile
Today
I have clarity
I ask
When?

Loss
I can taste the salt
In the tears
That were rolling down my face
The feeling of loss
That's left me
In another place
For those
Both alive
And those now gone
I miss you
Words within
My sad swansong

What Lurks Beneath
Sitting in this room alone again
The tears cannot be stopped
Walking on air for multiple days
How quickly my mood has dropped
Pushing away a little at a time
A master at this game
Hounded by the guilt i feel
Wrapped up in this shame
I showed too much of what lurks within
What made me think I could?
No one can bear this weight of darkness
No one ever should
I cannot share this part of me
It leaves ruin within its wake
She won't become another victim
I can't make that...

Wisdom
Wisdom is a pipe dream.
We are all fools.
We all know everything,
except true knowings.
When we are born,
we bawl and scream,
grope towards the end
of our serene gestation.
So why not
titter, laugh, and smooch?

don't ask me
don't ask me to smile today
as Kurt has sat down his
Jagstang and
picked up a
shotgun
don't ask me to laugh
today as blue ran from
the sky terrified
of man's
waste
don't ask me to cry today as
I let go of love and it fell
from my hands like a
dead bird seeking
comfort in the
cold selfish
earth
don't ask me to wait today
as I have waited long
enough in the dirty
prison of my
life
waiting for something
to return
waiting for...

Engraving on My Headstone
Prefer you my romantical ghost
with beating heart and spirit
ascending from this grave
to show I still love you?
Prefer you a love-letter
from the depths of my grave?
A letter penned in ink,
or in the tears from my veins?
Prefer you I claw out of this grave
of solitude to chase you?
Prefer you to embrace my ghost
with a thawing affection?

heartbroken
sometimes
it happens
that
along with the person,
even the words
feel suffocated
they yearn
to come down
on paper but
remain trapped in the eyes...

Behind a Mask
Every time I take a step outside
I have to pretend to be someone else
Cause I don't want to draw you into my madness
I don't want to show you all the sadness
And you might be thinking
That I look just fine
That when I smile and laugh it's all alright
But you'll never be able to understand
And it's my fault for not giving you a chance
But you're just so good to me
I would hate to erase
That childlike happiness on your face
You don't need my misery
So I think I'll stay quiet for now
Let me enjoy...
