her yesterdays-
in tears I reminesce

where he physically paints
i paint deep within the confounds of my mind
my twisted mind
where anxiety attacks
the adrenaline rush
i need to finish this masterpiece.
i've been obsessed with the color red
once i lose control
you liberate me
you paint me
perfectly
may i borrow your favorite brush?

so then
my grandmother asks
why I sit in my grandfather's tree
she asks me
she asks me about chaos
what that might look like to me
but not everyday
and not everyday chaos
the chaotic nature
that my ethnicity is somehow not connected to peace
and how could that be
so here I go
sitting in my grandfather’s tree..
waiting for him
watching for him

Declination end of the last circle lap
January starts a new journey from last to current
Flow full of ups and downs in inner within
Celestial solar neighborly friends
One at the end the other is a start on time

streaks of pale yellow
a hollow chuckle
what to do
what to say
tremolo hummingbird
sounds redundant
too many
too few
observing a picture painted
shards of green
porcelain fast cracking
into dust powder
underfoot altitude
compressed into silence
uncertain mystery
is safer than
what?
nothing is mysterious
judging the judgments
fearing the best case scenario
telling the same story
endless listening
hearing little
rocks in a foamy wave of noise
standing up and recognizing
puddles instead of oceans
placing pinholes into
blue black
frame fitted for discomfort
infinite identification
purple window
to grain mountain
hill crest
spattered with honey
crumpled newspaper
tumbling down
then up
then down
whistle the circus song
pretend
it will all be over soon

Evening dreams weave in reds and whites,
Wandering greens and browns,
Slender black hairs fall so gently down,
Jingling sounds of tiny cymbals
Rise as dancing starts
Electing movement as a choice.

The sky,desolate and grey
fits my mood,
willows stand tall
unmoved,tranquil
in the gloom;
A strange calm
as dusk falls,
window lights gleam,
one by one
curtains are drawn,
houses hibernate
'til the morrow.

What the truth is today,
could be a lie tomorrow.
Living a life full of rage,
will lead you to a life full of sorrow.
When life gets to intense and,
the emotional roller coaster wears you down.
You have been pushed, pulled and dragged through the wringer,
smeared all over town.
Trashing something so powerful,
could haunt you in your dreams.
Hold your ground, don't back down,
stand up for what you believe.
You have been tossed aside,
like an old pair of shoes.
A personal attack, but,
you don't have a clue.

I am my own worst enemy,
I am damaged beyond repair.
Terrorized by my own inner demons,
controlled by my own worst fear.
Stuck in this fragile state of mind,
shuffling my way through.
The pain sets in, I cant think,
I cant decide on what to do.
Everything gets all tangled up,
all knotted way to tight.
I'm searching for any sign of relief,
as I lye awake at night.
It's always busy upstairs,
like i'm on the interstate during rush hour.
I'm stuck in the line of traffic,
and I have absolutely no power
I would give almost anything in life,
just to make the noises go away.
To be able to close my eyes and feel at ease,
even if it's only for a day.

The many shadows on the walls,
are starring into my soul.
The piercing eyes and the evil glares,
are trying to take control.
The many voices that I hear run deep,
and my body freezes in fear.
There is something missing that I don't quite understand, why? There's a chill in the
air every time it is near.
Such a darkness, emptiness, anger and rage,
when I look into those eyes.
Surrounded by flames, with a crooked smile,
"I'm in your mind baby girl, I will always be alive."
I will haunt you wile you sleep,
watching every move you make.
I'm going to torture you, puncture your inner thoughts,
I'm just waiting for you to make that last final mistake!
