You give me the desire
a love for composing 
word symphonies
yet you give me
the cross of mediocrity
to bear
day by day to know
there are others 
who are prodigies
and I must hear 
the thunderous applause
while at best
I get...

You locked yourself inside a hole
And you threw away the
Key
You got so lost in the bottle that you 
Forgot just how to breathe

Tomorrow came...
Everything... had died...
The world was so empty...
Everything... was dead...
The trees and the flowers...
The sun and light showers...
Everything... died...

Followed by Saturday...
The end came...
Same old day...
Where are you?
Did you die too?
I'm sorry to say...
I'm done...

When we are delirious 
with the delirium of sickness

spherical like baby Jesus' bouncing...

Walking or wading in water
Along life's way
I could sense a pull toward
Something...no someone

The life-laden leaves
Drew out breath from my being
I grew greater in the moment
If not for the pleasure of knowing 
.....who or what I...

Apprentice at Grief
I stoop to grief when reasons fail
And tell him that tomorrow
We must begin to sort out our delirium.
“Hopes get lean and die,” I say,
“So, we must nourish them with tears.”
Pry the locked jaws...

Where is this? Are we on Mars?
America – just count the stores,
capitalist carnivores.
That so-familiar movie score,
the swish of passing cars.

The city built on Brotherly Love
(Wells Fargo, Fitch and Abercrombie)
at the mercy of Pam Bondi
- was...

As he stepped outa the dark
Left without a mark

Some cheered, some mad
Is he good or bad?

Is he even a man?
Few thought, so they ran

The line can be thin
The story, Oh where to begin

Actually won't waste...

Since watching their aeroplane sink

There was nothing to eat or to drink

One said we should eat him to keep...

You’re gentle, judgemental,
A freak in sheep’s disguise
Yet in some ways you’re burdened by self sacrifice,
You’re obsessive, compulsive,
Afraid to let me go
You’re afraid of what’s left of you,
If you have not my hand to hold

You know...

So long ago and far away.
I lost the love I thought would stay.
Now looking back seems too unreal.
And leaves me not knowing what to feel.

The days went by and turned to years.
That's what happens when...

Every day he'd sit and pout,
The Ambassador of Doubt.

Was born to eat your heart out.

His emotions were defiled.
Both parents saw a mental flaw,
That made sure he...

Like the Zues to Prometheous 
You’ve gifted me a cruel fate
My heart is torn, my love you hate.
A crow greets me to eat my heart,
For it to heal, then be eaten again.

My love, my pain,...
