Life Sentence

Holding my head in my hands for two years.

Fooled me so often, don’t know him in mirrors.

He’s crude and forgotten and fattened with fear.

Surely, I’m better than what I see here.

Is there a place where disgrace is best faced?

Chased family and friends in case they embrace

Me, erasing escaping in the first place just tames.

See what sins begin spilling willingly,

When filling with the chilling possibility,

that I’m admitting living miserably.

Killing more fitting than forgiving me.

Therapy Session

I look as though I stand

For something respectable.

Faking while shaking hands

Is a skin and digestible.

Mistaking my statements

For trading identical

chemical cadences.

You’re a forgettable

business arrangement

Displayed so engagement

Is witnessed first hand!

Not that you see your

Own head in the sand.

Why do I always pick

Sides when beside them

Despite that I’m sick

and in need of confiding?

They always seemed mean

When I needed it least.

Looked at my face and seen

All my grief. I’m not keen

On repeating displeasing

Relief to pay for an hour that

Doesn’t come cheap.

Dating Me

I like to walk around at night.

Feels right. Might be that dark is lighter

On my soul, despite my fighting

Eyes beholding shadows forming;

Warnings scold my peaceful roaming.

Delight advising cries inside me

Insightful lies to smite my whining.

Find it’s time to breathe in deeply.

Feel me melt into existence.

Below my feet, I ground resistance

Free by feeling what’s persistant;

Tears absolving time and distance.

Spilled Milk

Beckoned fleeting reflections of you.

Behold to unfold such connection, it’s

True that I missed most the meat

on my bones due to you. Forgetting

to eat as I wander the wood.

But the smile on your face brings a magical mood,

And familiars are sweet. Look! They greet me with food!

Spend years here in place of my usual zoo.

But…I fail to negate the rate of elation

that races to spaces of imagination

Makes me want to keep this and hold it in station

So sickened with hubris I ended up wasting.

If it goes back to the ether, was it ever created?

Nighttime Kisses

Gosh, her name’s been on my mind;

Never a better soul you’d find.

Washed my shame and clawed my hide,

Squashed the pain when I confide.

Let it wet her eyes in pleasure

Splendid fevers I provide.

Toss, dismember, put back together

Ending severs what I decide.

Regretting never – we are forever!

Spending futures with her in sight.

Render splendor in the center

of her forehead every night.
