Four-Lettered Word −

Four letters, four numbers:
teach me to rearrange
and see how high we can climb.
Lost ambition leads to early ends
and balls of light on my pillow
let me feel again.
Pen-friendship ended for telephone sex:
the face of self-hatred
makes the messages stop.
Give me your word again,...

Now and Forever Amen −

Withering roses and ashes of lust:
futile reminders of what falls to dust.
Embryos planted inside of my head:
rumors of love that is better off dead.
Mystic swirls of tacky fate
cloud my mind with bitter hate.
Can’t the faceless man appear
and call awake the single tear?
Brutal abando...

Have you quested enough
for the unknown beloved?
Have you yet found a cure
for your need?
Through fog of the mind,
maternal malign and
the shy, smiling clown
do you know that it’s me?
Division of self
unglues your resolve.
To breathe on your own
is a chore.
I am the darkness,

To feed off your immense betrayal
(or mine of you to be more clear)
I’ll fill my mouth with poisoned smoke
and flick away the ashy guilt.
To make amends with breakfast food,
sans comedy or caring words,
I’ll clear my head of nagging doubt
and trap you by my side.
To punish you for lov...

Hey Kiddo…
Have you fallen apart again?
It’s okay, Mommy’s here to save you.
These life lessons are long overdue.
Turn your dreams into nightmares
of paying bills and pursuing respect.
Tell a stranger your darkest secrets.
Don’t forget to be perfect.
Hey Kiddo…
Did your Mom get you d...

Fear's Fatigue −

The muse’s music
of loves supposedly past
darkens the light
and my eyes find solace.
Remains of the ancestors
left you vilified and tainted;
our current lovers
cloaked themselves in fear.
My untouched beloved
remember yourself stricken;
I’ll remember my hold.
My purely forgotten

Her Four First Steps −

She wants to be seen.
Perhaps the petals are tender
but the stem grows strong
and pokes a thorn at
those who deny her
or themselves.
She wants to be heard.
Perhaps the mind may change
a compliment for a curse
but untapped reservoirs
leak passion to those
who may feel,
or know, the...

Tendrils poke from my feet
seeking soil,
growing burning aching reaching
and finding cold marble beneath.
I look down upon you;
faces of others flicker by
lighting candles and incense
at my pedestal’s base.
Glowing beams emit from your worship;
my first follower was you.
Offering...

I have a demon, lives inside me, sleeps upon the floor.
He tries to make things right but he just fucks it up some more.
He’s chained up to the doghouse wall; he cowers on his knees.
But hanging on the door within his reach is all the keys.
He thinks that he created me and all the life I li...

Goodbye Havoc −

I know chaos’ secrets:
hiding in his twisted confusion
seeking nothing but angst
he makes a thousand first steps
but lacking the will
seeks death.
Reeking havoc spirals
from his living corpse.
Friendless and desperate,
he programs worry and fear.
I know the devil’s mind:
burning ...
