The Bipolar Ocean

Making faces in the mirror, Smiling back at me, Personality shining, Looking deep in the ocean of eyes, Breath shaking seeing deep inside, Floating on mental sea of delusion, Rowing hard against waves of depression, Drowning deep underneath the ocean of mania, Bi-polar raging its storm above, Ship creaking under the weight.

Future Moment

Closed eyes drifting in silence, Listening to the echoes of beating heart, Dreaming of long lost dreams, Cast below the water, Into the muck, We become more as we grow, Into the being that takes us further, Past the moment, Into the future, Hold the moment they say, For the future is unclear, Yet, is…

Mad Mother

Knows whats it is like for five minutes to be a father, Knows whats it is like to have child torn away, Knows whats it is like to live ten minutes away, Knows whats it is like not having visiting rights, Knows whats it is like watching offspring grow up far away, Knows whats it…

Soundful Silence

Inside the walls, Screaming aloud, Echos bounce all around, Eons pass, As soul screams, Silence, As dreams drift, Hopes born, Passing into abyss, There alone, Stands I, Surrounded by thought, Countless hours, Of casual eternity, Later, Forever later, Now.

Bad News on the Horizon

Sitting on the chest, Bad news inside, Delivery on the horizon, Waiting on the clock to tick by, Seconds turn to days, While living in a mental health haze, Wondering, what the future holds, Symptoms attack while fumbling in the dark, What else to do, But wait, each day, a horrible wait.

Skeleton Heart Shaped Key

Damn I sit here rage inside my chest, Key, skeleton like, Shapely tool to open my chest wide, Wooden ribs sticking outward, As hand reaches in, Beating heart throbs as the jewel is removed, Treasure thief delving deep within. Riding waves on Jolly Rodger, Chest stored deep within the hold, Skeletons in the closet, Hiding…

Bi-Polar Theater.

Inside the dark walls of my heart I sit, Staring at the thumping walls, Singing to me the emotional turmoil, Mixed over the rocks with tumultuous spirits, Beating for days, Never hitting the correct note.

Speed of Rage

Burning rage fuels the speeding train, Rushing one direction to the end, Racing onward life passing passengers by, Unknown destination only to confuse, Those within riding the rails of whim, Forgiving to forget, While forgetting to live, Hurting inside, Yearning only to discern, The why, how, why, Me? Only today as the steam pours, Onward,…

Life, A Little Less Fun

The term adulting became popular later in my life, this is a soft play on my experiences and how I would describe them as ‘adulting’. A little later on, Lights already on, Writing out hooks, Plotting out crooks, Payments a lot overdue, Landlords pocket wet like dew, A.M. burning the candle at both ends, Working…

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…
