I stood today on the buildings ledge, Looking into eternity, Down that long fall into nonexistence, Don’t know who I am anymore, Don’t know what to do, Don’t know where to go from here, Looking down that ledge, I see the end, I see the pain wash away, Yet, yet I still hear the call,…

Rag Doll
A short horror story in poem/lyric form. Woke up one day, Quit the job, Walked to the bar, Settled in for the day. Dreams hitting fast, Hardly moving forward, Intense emotions undeserved, Mirrors exploding from past. Feeling stich in hand, Exposed to grit’n’sand, Feeling stich in hand, Exposed to grit’n’sand. Exposed to society, Ripped apart…

Long Term Relationship
A wise man asks questions, Listens to change his own mind, Accepts his world has flaws, Organizes his resources in order to care for those he loves, Prepares for tragedy, While living as if tragedy has happened already, Treating peace and war time equally, Working to protect, All the while caring for the causes, Continuing…
Tea Party for You and I
Sitting down with you I lift my cup as you lift yours’s a smile at your lips. The tea kettle piping hot, steaming while screaming, it’s bulbous base on heat. Laughing we enjoy our treats, sitting at mahogany table, high backed chairs, with little red cushions, expertly buttoned. A thick shag rug running its cloth…
Sea Maiden Sings
White foamy waves splash my face, Hat wiped away by Sea Mistress’s whip, Dolphins swim and splash by my side, Into the battle I go with the Tide, Deep down where Sailors sleep, Where songs are sung eternal, Wavey Sea Maiden, sings her eternal slumbering lullabies, To me a fortunate fellow, To sleep below her…
Talking Heads
Talking heads said to another, “Quiet, we wish to hear him speak,” “Me quiet, why you talk so much the walls have forgotten more secrets than you were told,” “Bah! Enough, I keep secrets just fine, mind…” “Just the other day you were telling Old Man Worm that the bird woke up early and had…
Thinking
Thoughts thought out loud into low trough, Weeding out the weeds that grow between the thoughtful feed, Which we all consume as witches brew on all hallows eve, In thoughtful fright our minds soak in the alchemical poison, Which feeds us day and night, Unlimited in atmosphere, catastrophic, all proportioned poison, Polluting the masses wide…
Spinning Cycles
Heart and guts on the table, Tears and eyes crying wide shut, Outside thrusts inside, While life spins insanely, Circles turn while cycles repeat, Ultimate sacrifice set before the gods, Insanity run wild as a beast in the field, Tearing through life, Charging at the ones once loved, Anger flows while fear overflows, Tears, tons…
