Then gracefully try to unwrap it and you’ll find there is no way!...

   "Emotional Meltdown"



Slumber ... refuses to invade my warm bed
as I listen to promises swirling in my head
to an  emotional meltdown ...
in the mirror, there stands a clown ...

Dreamland ... eluding my starry eyes
as I wander in sad masquerade disguise
to an emotional...

THE MELTDOWN.

 Like a dark cloud in a distant,
It hung overhead for ages,
Everybody saw it coming,
Nobody was prepared for its coming.

It came like a heavy down pour,
Yet nobody went out with an umbrella.
The height of human folly,
Wishful thinking on the altar of reality.

It started with...

Depression rears its ugly head;
New grief for those in need.
Throw money at it 'til it's dead,
Yet place no check on corporate greed....

long after a full moon 
had thrown its arms around the sky
I stood with Al Stone 
ignoring the futility in our lives
adolescence gave way to manhood
or so we like to believe
our ideology stifled 
from a serious lack of dreams
with the care of a midwife 
removing...

My manager’s voice is booming 
telling me my deadlines looming
overwhelmed I begin to drown
Whoop,whoop,whoop, red alert – MELTDOWN!

eyes in the office are staring
wet excuses I'm declaring
I'm paralysed by my boss’ frown
Whoop,whoop,whoop, red alert – MELTDOWN!

laughter floating like bonfire smoke
there's no deadline that was a joke
my...

I chose to fight and not to flee,
From troubled feelings haunting me.
One look, within my weary soul,
Exposed an ever-gaping hole.

With introspective ink I write,
To bring foreclosure to my plight.
On form and meter I rely,
While keeping free verse standing by.

In healing cadence, new to me.
(Stagnation came...

Due to extreme conditions beyond Santa Claus' control,
'Tis rumored that he might have to vacate his home at the Pole!

Seems that climate warming is the culprit causing the Pole to thaw,
Which could result in Santa's operation from thence to withdraw!

Mrs. Claus would welcome this news...

All income is lower than any bill
poverty swells, about to exhibit
to all options the mind would have to drill
fat growing needs already prohibit
the spouse and the children all will survive
whips from the family from unknown foe
yet stay intact and thankfully alive
but reduced in value to...

do you want some fun 
in a parked out car
or a video chat one on one

maybe a song
maybe several
maybe a kiss
life should be gentle

but its often not
it often gets hot
and your shoes start to melt
into the tarmac 

when that happens
don't tread on your tippy-toes
just call...

It all started with a countdown from ten...
My own self-destruction shall begin
I'm sick and tired of being sick and tired
From trying to get hired
To trying NOT to get fired
Jesus! I can't control all this rage
Should I let the beast out of his cage?
As I struggle...

The particles move
SO FAST
how can I reason or explain the process,
I cannot fathom this physics,
though I generate the power.
Natural. Dark.
Something splits, fission.
My nuclear dreams, waste thoughts.
I am what I am.
A confusion of matter,
a crippled, holistic
atomic plan...

the sun melts slowly
a silence falls on the land
an eagle circles
my heart pauses in wonder
seems all so larger than life
