Moods oscillate in cadences of peaks and valleys
Music to fractious emotions on greasy dance floors
Mistimed cues of flares smouldering relationships

Angst of redundancy seethes from within as lava
Anger is camouflaged with the cloak of reticence

That godless sound
His head explodes at 6:01am
Same as every day
He falls out of bed
Steps on the cat

Within the cove of diamond bay, waves gently sway
Back and forth, under the oceans clarity of the big blue,
As the surfs foam and spray roll against the white sandy
Beaches...

In the quiet corners of the heart,  
Where shadows linger, dreams depart,  
The path of grief begins to wind,  
A journey through the fractured mind.

Some things change and some things won’t.
Some people care and others just don’t.
The situation I’m in unmistakably changed,
for one I was close to has now been estranged.

 Wounded out of lack of ambition,
 Weeping out of lack of impulse;
 Wounded out  of  lack  of imagination,
 Ingeniously exhumed...

Do you clutch the shroud of ignorance tight,
As my words pierce through...

Molly

Molly raves again
At all the things unseen
Their voices chambered tight
In her restless dreams…

She bites her nails in worry
Until they start to bleed
She looks around in fear
She is a soul in need…

Her hair is a mess

It rolled through last night,
began at dusk.
A glass of wine while sitting on the porch
and the distant  thunder began.
 
The sun shrunk away,
almost in fear it seemed.
The songs of birds quieted,
and the trees began to move.

boarding this dimensional flight to no where

The Betrayal was planned,
orchestrated with vehement pride,
This undertaking,
Designed,
with evil intentions,

She cries for your mistakes,
She apologizes when you yell at...

My lips taste its decomposing and dying matter. 
I should cough and gag on its...

She’s the little girl with pigtails,
who sits quietly at her desk.
Whose eyes lift to meet no one,
whose clothing is always a mess.

He’s the little boy on the playground,
whose strays alone without a friend.
Whose countless cuts...

Enjoy your techno-toys while you can;
As you frantically surf the internet
In a vain, pathetic attempt to "keep up"
With meaningless jumbles of jibber-jabber
Which you consider essential information.

All those gotta-have gadgets you crave
Like some new kind of...
