Long Headspace Poems

“I am NOT like my father!!!
You say that again, I’m going to kill you!”

I shrivel up in shame
For, I am not to blame
For the shenanigans you put me through so many times
Sometimes, I wish I...

(Seems that these days a whole lot of people suffer from anxiety and depression. Now whether that's a reflection on our world and society, whether there's actually greater incidence of it or if we just...

Consuming happiness to the point of no return, no return
I let the fires in my bosom burn on and on and on
Resuming on with my gladness, smiling — now, it’s your turn
To shine on like...

Sudden movement of my heart, a shattered piece of art, 
Broke me apart from the start…rolling in the inner death-cart
Heartrate going sky high — I won’t lie nor can I deny that life cuts deep...

Got caught in a shimmering, glimmering summer haze
Gone through anxiety and hallucinations — hate this phase
Don’t discard me when I’m trekking this road
This road of God’s abode…I admire and abide in it — He’s my...

Fight 

I’d fight for you, you know. But I know you aren’t asking that of me. So I’ll be here for you, to fight beside your side if you need me. Because you shouldn’t have...

Man In My Head, 

You live there– 
(here I should say) 
but I suppose I don’t need to tell you that.
You’re the one making your space.

You’re forever within the confines of my mushy, distorted headspace;
so...

Often times, seconds are seemingly so long that you feel stuck in a clock that never tics away. 
The once little tics you would hear have now stopped. Time slows down as you stare into...

You can if you Dare
Conditioned minds, controlled, domesticated
Governed by rules 
Mortal law books unique to individual fools
without questioning the content absolute or truth
Each generation bearing their own scared fruit 
Unwittingly victims controlled by degree
A creature...

Fine rhythm in the walls so delicate
softly wrapping you in harmonious;
Your soft humming echoes the sentiment,
gaining momentum will it touch famous? 

A cascade of sound bounces all around,
gone hysterics it will surely incite;
When sanity is...

Patience and length of time does more than force and rage
This I have come to learn with age
Repeating destructive patterns, like an LP skipping
Over my own radical behaviour I am tripping

Drug and alcohol counselling and...

It comes in beta waves,
	         an electro-magnetic tone
The blu-ray timbre
	channel surf creep
in your sleep
Then it’s rapid eye movement gone

This disembodied voice
whispers robo-call suggestively,
“Vote for American czar me”

Saying,...

I've seen these stars before
Of course I have
But I know where I was
They do too
Or something within this space does
I hope I'll be in a better headspace next time
The answer to that feels like a...

A Passion For the Lost [Prayer]

God please give this soul
A passion for the lost;
A heart that is broken
For souls by sin embossed.
Bring me to my knees, dear Lord
To pray for each and every one.
May I...

Blah blah blah blah blah
My eyes glaze over and you don’t notice or care
Blah blah blah blah blah
Permission denied to use my headspace for waste disposal
Blah blah blah blah blah
I keep desperately hoping this will...

I'm a song without a chorus
And my mind is rather porous
Been down this road before
Questioning why I'm back for more
Words bounce around in my head
When for years I thought they were dead
For years I watched...

Fog unravels its gray threads to smother the sky
and numb the mind,
words slip away to find other mouths
to fall from.

Wallowing in a low funk,
enveloped by a dull dislike
of these sprawling hours,
and this gun-metal sky
shuffling along
as...

I’ve been working on my website - it’s been neglected for so long.
I’ve been wearing out Spotify - I may have listened to every song.
I walk five miles a day - because you’ve got to...

I recognize those dark cynical thoughts
the ones that spin viciously in your headspace

incessant the whirlwind of nightmares
I can feel their every spasm and tremor

we’re two of a kind you and I in the hollow
lightning bolts...

We’re playing the long game.
We share things, we’re lovers,
we slip in and out of each other’s lives
like jackets hanging on the back of a door.

Relationships are like instruments,
they must be played, kept in tune,
the carnal...

Fill my body full of toxins 
I’m all out of options
My heart will soften
Throw me in a coffin

Your knife will be the final blow
For me to go
I will die slow
Or maybe I will grow

From this...

They never say one word
when they can say ten,
they cannot have a thought
without saying it then;
this world we live in,
I, the loner, decry.

They see someone listen,
and then think that they scheme,
that a lack of interest
means...

Immortalized in acrylic before you evaporated
as quickly as the paint dried in the autumn sunset,
you stuck yourself in a frame in my mind’s museum.

Rendered motionless by the inherent
motionlessness
of color on canvas,
your feet propped precariously on
our...

A mystical, heavenly, sacred place,
where the bare peaceful trees reflect with grace,
and the sky, forest and lake interlace,
in a gold, hazy, moody morning space,
a scene that is hard to ever erase,
the dawn fog is...

I treasure the moments
when my eyes catch an animal
hopping through a field of flowers 
or even just a plain field.

In my headspace,
I metaphorically become both
the field and the rabbit.

Jumping through a field of flowers
feels like...
