Perdition Be Damned!

Body electric zapped
lower gastrointestinal tract
wracked with wretchedness
pitted, rocked, and tortured
severe muscle spasms cramp

pestilential nausea diarrhea
wreaks relentless havoc
horrid ordeal twists insides
lack strength to live

You are tragedy incarnate.
You're the whisper to the sky
That tore the world asunder
And you didn't need to try

A singer named Alec Shane Benjamin,
He narrates love, conflicts, and gain.
And life, death, obstacles, and pain,

Explores the...

as strong as a hearts resistance
though intentions are most sincere
cobweb covered disappointments
when trust like ancient ruins turn
Divided by protections wall
closing off and closing in
Defenses unlikely...

A smile, a laugh, song, dance or grin,
A peace that seems to never end.
A feeling that flows deeper than emotions;
Greater than a deep blue sea and wider than an ocean.

A joy so powerful, a joy...

Rather than hiding self 
behind fine phrases 
and flowery words,
isn’t it time to live a life with openheartedness?

If sad and lonely,
cry your heart out to the end.
If life is difficult,
toss on the ground pounding a...

Today dawn broke
No sunlight hues with reflections
The sunrise not in the skies
No hypnotic sights
I meditate to the dark blues
Shades of gray
It's all in my head
This really alleviates in my soul
Now perplexed with the calamity of...

The monster of the night,
Has returned again to play,
My body fills with awful fright.
There’s nothing I can do or say.

The monster rips me out of bed,
He pulls me upright, griping me tight.
Knowing what’s to come,...

nothing like the thrill of newness

The only thing that's sleeps next to me,
Is a pillow now and occasionally,
My daughter who climbs up into bed,
Softly on my chest just to lay her head...
She's the warmest thing that I ever feel,
So enormous...

So she comes flittering over to me
There’s fairy dust coming out of her tail
She’s human, dust of a lovely fairy

This makes a fairy if dust you entail
A rare commodity, a great power

Far in the distance in the light of day
I viewed crows, swiftly passing by
No doubt they had sounds from propelling wings
I imagined those sounds so far up in the sky.

Captured by that sight, but too...

The paper upon which I write
a testament to my failure;
words scratched through,
lines obliterated,
soon join
paper wadded, torn
strewn around the floor.

My pencil, nearly a stub

A love that is unconditional knowing no degrees
As deep as the oceans, rivers and seas.
A love that is pure, straight from the heart and full of  compassion
Never to be severed or torn apart.

A love...

He chuckles, but it is only a lovely lie
He speaks but conceals something inside
He sings, but his quiet...

If we could get an extra view,
Or ride a timeline split in two,
We would know what circumstance,
Was left to us or left to chance...
Then we could increase the odds,
At anytime by switching sides,
Gliding past what...
