A darker shade of blue (revised October 22,2020)


I came home from work today,
and saw the note you left
It took me by surprise,
couldn't imagine what it said

You said you needed time and space...
to figure some things out
I think there's prob'ly more to this...
you left me here...

Have you seen the alternate me
My darker self
He sits on the edge of shadows
Waiting to devour
Consume
Eviscerate 
There was a time he ruled
His appetites satisfied
Nothing could stand in his way
He tied my mind in barbed wire
I could not move
Heart and soul shredded with knives
In that other...

words left un-spoken
tears left un-cried
thoughts i keep hidden
deep inside
I don't belong here with you
sorry to waste your time
the thoughts run through my head one last time
like a freight train
it keeps me sane
but once again here i am
alone with the pain
why should we fight
whats the point

There was a dim light
But I want it darker still
A fading… alike into ever night
Just so I wouldn’t see but feel

I draw comfort from that dark
To barely see… to only hear
The beating of one’s heart
To be afraid of and no more to fear

I let the...

I was born 
on Christ-
mas day.My 
mother was 
sprung out
on drugs. My 
father was 
unknown, he 
was one of
her tricks.
The moment
I cried, I was
placed in the
foster care 
system. My
mother was
deemed un-
fit. I've never
known love.
I was placed
in several 
foster homes.
I was raped 
in most of
them.I ran...

Darker than the Cavern, No Relief

Darker
than the Cavern
opening gate into Hell,
the lost Souls, dead nights
with such unimaginable delights.

They seek mercy
where none can be had
an ending never found,
lost forever deep underground.

No Altar
to burn incense
a dark pit into agony lie,
caverns , dark and deep to cry.

Moans
that wail...

Days of rain bring me great pain close to the Great Depression stuck inside looking out a window guessing if the rain will stop cause the suns coming back out but it's still raining on days like this I have nothing to do but complaining...

"Dealing a Deeper Darker Crimson"



Dealing a deeper darker crimson velvet kiss
Lips bleed criminal and cut deep
on caged tongues whispering a love missed


Vanilla dreams
Black pods of slippery evanescence peeled back 
to reveal salt stinging words devoid of traps


which you welcome open and arched
between the tumultuous sanguine
flippant,...

Shriveling corn in late fall fields
Haunts with bleak precedent
My hope;  and even tiny blight
On the premise of a grain
Assumes a goal's defect.

Is this a sorrow made of seeing?
Made of faith imposing on recurrence
The promise of my scheme?
And are not sight and faith in promise
Grown...

After truly listening to all the discussions decided to delete even the world weary darker side,
return to meditation and to listen, to listen.  For it seems too often in this world the very best are the darker side's victims. Though I cannot say the...

This is where death is the child and I it's Laborious hand holder

Jagged night, lean souls
blackened sight in the martyr moon
crooning crows and brazen ravens tear the skies through

Crooked grins and demon walkers make the evil hallow
and the meek surrender

Beads of fear saunter a stream's...

Rome was burning; the smell of invasion
deep in smoke, spread all over the Aegean Sea;
swords and shields were flooded in blood;
blood that belonged to Roman and Celtic race.

"It appears that we Romans have the same blood
as the Celts!" a philosopher exclaimed.

The Celts blood was believed...
