Long Inpatient Poems

From June to September
I cannot remember
A damn thing that I did
What took me over
Was a monster called Bipolar
Which escaped from the shadows where it hid

And to add to this schism
I was fighting alcoholism
A Demon that...

All you need is the will. Where there is a will, there is always a way.
But, my polluted mind couldn't see the path to success ahead.
No map exists to sobriety, or a magical compass to...

F a n t a s y
sold on a 50’s bottle cap; 
a party-girl side-saddle sits
on a double-edged crescent moon
up high —a silver scythe in glamour-night sky
corners of her cherry mouth upturned
her right hand raises...

I didn't know 
Raindrops
Could taste like
Bad medicine,
Novocaine
Shot
The wrong way
Numbing
Everything 
Down to my
Fingertips-

In the
Inpatient
Care
They hide me
From
Myself,
Drugged up,
Those raindrops
Only heard,
Never touched
As if you can
Recognize
Pain from a
Distance
And learn to
Ignore the
Pitter patter of it,
Just background
Music
To a
Symphony
Of memories
I'm supposed to
Put...

There was an earlier time
that came to mind
this day I heard dangerous fears and angers
called cowardice instead,
back 200 years ago
in the United States,
when Northern industrialists,
relying on southern cotton
to mill fabrics
clothing cotton-picking slaves
and other whiter folks,
joined...

I’m a witch of the modern times,
Nay my caldron is not round but square,
It has four sides square, and it’s called a microwave.
No bubble, bubble toil or trouble, with this new
Modern age tool, I just...

Purple Chakra 

She wears in dreams and enchantment our mad hatter’s hat 
cloaked in violet desire and so called co-incidence of purple
Just a few blossoms Jacaranda from the doom of rock bottom
I spelt the word...

The Night I Saw My Idol…

The Night I Saw My idol…

I sat there and waited,
While being so anticipated.

While my legs would shake,
And my nerves couldn’t wait,
While being so inpatient.

The Night I Saw My Idol…

They soon...

Verse 1
I am a Godly man;
Allow me to take your hand;
You're beautiful beyond words;
It first comes from your soul
And I love you, love you so;

Chorus>
And you are
And you are
Yes you are
you are
You Are the Love

The rain slides off my hair,

soaking me wet.

The sky seems to be crying over me,

I don't care.

In the middle of nowhere,

without no soul to speak with.

Should I embrace my fear?

Tears are coming,

though not mine.

But I...

Mr Alpha and Master Beta 
here to put you in your place 
after all they know much better

Too much time on their hands 
noting you and your ability...

HOT SUMMER DAY

hair’s fallen, wet.
clinging shirt with sweat.
shoe’s barely protect
my feet, from the pavement’s heat.

i climb aboard the bus, no
air conditioning, of course,
and head to the bustling city streets.
perspiration stains and inpatient glances
all shout, with...

I told the nurse
I swallowed a snake.
He charted: religious mania.

But I felt her—
three and a half turns 
sleeping 
just south of the back 
of my clavicle.

I called her Vera
then, 
full breath 
pried me open.
Fire-rising, 
slithering:

it...

that down ass love, the kind you feel from your head to your toes,
unexplainable and yet still, the feelings stay fresh, 
to be inpatient to see them, wait to hear their voice on the other...

Stages and steps are the structures of Life’s nomenclature
a little mind isn’t ready to go through its rotating disk,
quick and fast void of much strain, no matter the way
but such an inpatient method carries the...

My love you are the sun
I am the rain
I storm inside and you
Shine in me to tame

Your kiss is missed
Before it is a thing
I know your soul is 
Part of me before a name

As twilight's shifting shadows slowly merge,
dusk extinguishes all lingering light.
And a spray of twinkling stars lights the night;
when the blackness of space and night converge.

Indigo skies morph into ebony
as a dying sun bleeds on snow-capped...

Say what in the face appears....
Reveal the words that twinkle in the eyes
Say everything....sans rhetoric & lies...!

Allow your tongue to adapt & adopt...
The language of the heart so soft...

Blinded by the lights;
But in a rainbow of the night,
A lone star
Shines just as bright.

With the rise of the muffled cries
 Of joyous pride,
A priceless moment captured in time.
As I stand within a crowd,
A memory...

The wind grows more inpatient as it litters the city streets with a kaleidoscope of colored leaves. 
 A precursor to the angry winter. I hope I have a car by then. A little place...

Love is a match you hold against the dark
Love, the circling moth embarks
Love, the hope that falls apart 
Love is the knife you hold in my heart
Love inpatient, unkind regard 
Love is everything you aren't...
