Something

My heart is cold.
“Time is the healer of hearts” so I’ve been  told.
With arms crossed, and an open heart. The story unfolds.
Before me lies a ditch, one that I lie in.
‘Biggest blessing or biggest...

"Marionette of Flesh in a Borrowed Dress"
- Daniel Henry Rodgers

The hourglass, 
a skeletal jester 
mocks in the tomb's chill
Each falling grain an emaciated sigh, 
"Soon you'll cease to be."
The mirror's cold reflection,

Sailing along on edge
Convenience, forgotfulness
Wayward beliefs once simple
A world supposedly, not flat

Then, tell me...

Bruised eyes, off peering
Life, living lies
In this thing called internet

Where is hope 
Stretched out
In a few ample strokes
What are...

Many a hunger goes unfed.
Some adjust and live with it,
finding satisfaction in suitable activities.
Others push that hunger down, deeper and deeper,
filling the empty hole inside themselves
with dangerous addictions that take the place
for what they hunger...

Sickly Annie is so anorexic,
it’s a heartbreaking story 
of bulimic misery
Looking in her madhouse distorted mirror — 
only a frail, starving image 
does Annie see
Always taunted by a silent, bulimia bully,
sticking her tongue out 
at...

Yet i know, for now, i belong here

Patient Hope is on a stoic decline
The celluloid tread mill 
is crybaby set 
on an aorta sob incline —  
A cardio faithless, vertical whine

Shouldering the weight of personal decisions,
is seen nowadays 
as an irresponsible,...

Weight Watchers Paradise


Lemon pies, with feathered wings,
Floating in the sky, as the sun sits and glistens.
Against their skin, yes the beautiful people,
The ones who say, all that food is pure evil.

Of cystic self failure
Even gastric anorexia
And fluttery throb to alight the fear
An adrenaline generated tachycardia
That matches respiration
And causes hyperventilation
With invasive pacy rhythm
And palpitating violation
To anxious infarction
 In schizoid arrest

A hepatic paranoia...

Night follows day in bitter hungry monotony,
as wane laughter dies upon parched lips,
and ignorant innocence is trampled underfoot
at every corner of the decadent deserted plain.
Homeless bulimic children unsmiling, subdued, thirsty 
seek dilapidated dug-in shelters devoid...

Gone to the jungle cats
Gone to the fat cats
Gone to the mice and insects
in the sewers.

Nothing 
will kill a man
quicker
than fear of loss.

Loss of a woman
Loss of children
Loss of home
Loss of fortune

All gone,
eaten by bulimic...

Who hate me for the color of my skin
And where are...
