La...la..
yea..yea..
Far as long as I can remember,
you were always with me through December,
Has I walk the lonely roads of November,
I can know longer remember,
our coffee morning conversations,
our dreams, our obsessions,
they're all a blur to me now,
grief as finally won.
Never knew I needed you,
never knew I couldn't cope without you,
has the days get shorter,
the nights get longer,
the darkness stays a while longer,
I sit and wonder,
if you knew,
I needed you,
never knew I needed you.
I remember laying in my bed,
with my phone in hand,
Pillow under my head,
as I listened to my favourite band,
before you would buzz,
a hello beautiful or a hey hun,
Those days, there gone,
no longer available to me,
I now listen to music alone.
Never knew I needed you,
never knew I couldn't cope without you,
has the days get shorter,
the nights get longer,
the darkness stays a while longer,
I sit and wonder,
if you knew,
I needed you,
i never knew i needed you,
baby I need you.
Has the days get shorter,
the nights get longer,
the darkness stays a while longer,
I needed you,
I never knew I needed you.
as you stay up above,
I'm sending you all my love,
I needed you, to need me too,
don't forget the day you left,
you left your heart behind,
with tears she tries to hide,
with the pain she locks inside,
all because you said goodbye,
Never knew I needed you,
I never knew I needed you,
baby I need you,
needed you,
la la la,
oh I needed you,
Song lyrics by Davina Browne

inspired by a dearest friend passing away,
forever in my heart babe x?x
When it gets like this
It always comes to that
All I've done is serve my obsessions
left with only one option
The question to be considered
Did I make a reservation?
Again I gambled with what
I couldn't afford to lose
Double downed against destiny
Showing a ten card up
It's a risky game to play
But such a painful pleasure
one more screw up
and I'll own the whole collection.
I'll sacrifice my pawn
nothing more to lose
The remedy for self loathing
is a lethal cure.
There's always a vacancy at the Last Resort
Home to irresistible misfortune all the comforts of self destruction are inclusive.
Miserable place to watch
my ego die.
the paint peeling off the walls
I can feel them closing in
My room has no windows
So I closed the curtains
I didn't want to see
what wasn't outside
~ for Karin ~
oh how a fair breeze of Autumn can stir
my heart with reprieves - the redolent leaves
remembrance of romance with you in a blur
soft eyes in a camber of absinthe and amber
wheaty hair spilling like corn silk to shoulders
framing two spicy bow lips as they smoldered
falling like leaves … for you
oh how this time lifts me back to a dream
our ivy-clad schools - such unripened fools
a world as our oyster, and raw it would seem
escaped to the woods - discarding our goods
we swam on a blanket of bright leafy death
straining in passions to fever each breath
falling like leaves … for you
oh how the chill always kindled our flame
pining each week for the rose of your cheek
weekends adoring the ways that you came
our fleshy memoirs ‘neath branches and stars
each mutual climax much sweeter than last
the moments exhausted like us, far too fast
falling like leaves … for you
oh Autumn yet sings midst my sinews today
the libertine flood still coursing my blood
you ‘waken my core in the most vexing way
when October flies I ache for your sighs
tho’ marrow grows icy the mem’ry remains
chaotic obsessions through prurient pains
someday I’ll surrender them - tears in the rain
falling like leaves for you …
still falling … in Deja vu.

Open-mindedness is to opinionated people what a wing is to an airplane.
Pathways of pain are paved with the shadows of closed-mindedness.
Individuals of all creeds, stripes, and colors are entitled to their own opinions.
Never close your ears and heart until the last willing voice has had its say.
Inspiration creates sparks that fly upward and outward, away from its origin.
Opinionated people need not be selfish nor 'The all about me type' of person.
Narcissistic personalities cannot hold the weight of their own obsessions.
Significance of one's self can be compromised by worshiping the opinions of another.
062320PSCtest, Opinions, Kai Michael Neumann
It's lonely on this hill
The one I chose to die on
A bitter breeze
And my skin turns to sand
Dancing far away
Strip the clothes off my back
Make a staircase
With all that I create
It'll never reach the gates of Heaven
But it would be so easy
To fall backwards
Into the pits of Hell
But I will keep myself
There are no chains that can hold me
Every line I rhymed
Every song I sang
Every single tear I shed
I did it to find out who I was
But I realized
Each poem was like a snapshot
Assemble them like puzzle pieces
And that is who I am
I am not the embodiment of perfection
But I am me
And nobody else can take that from me
You can take my possessions
You can take my obsessions
You can even take my confessions
But you will never take my passion
In criminal fashion
So if I am to die on this hill
Know I will die on this lonely hill
But I will die knowing one thing
I am an artist
6/6/16
Seeing things from both sides
And copious amounts of smoke rise
With my own eyes
At times, I do not always know why
As the time continues to go by
And according to how the crow flies
Matter and molecules bended
And unexpected things occurred beyond being comprehended
Some of which were unprecedented
Not always was a helping hand lended
Nor was it splendid everytime it ended
Despite what was originally intended
Have some respect and manners
What good is delusions of grandeur?
Some can't even hunt or gather
See for yourself take a gander
And then you'll have your answer
Climbing ladders
My pockets getting fatter
Eyeing what it is I'm after
Before going faster
Amid the molecules and matter
Combining and starting to scatter
The bodies of water drying up or continuing to meander
The droplets splatter
Leaving areas damper
Conflict and slander
And reputations being hampered
Unhealthy obsessions leading to disaster
Out in the pasture
Near rocks of jasper
And flowers of aster
In the field of rye there is a catcher
There is an almost endless chatter
Until its drowned out by the sound of a tractor

The Temptation of St Anthony
I entered the desert,
took a vow not to speak
Lucifer’s here too, hoping
silent men grow weak
My path seemed so straight
but quickly became oblique
I question whether it is I
that fetishise the bleak
The fish sang in bass tones,
dirges I once knew
A trapped fiend plucked strings
from a hamstrung canoe
The joyful decapitated
are half man half shrew
As laughter echoes from whalebone
prisons, meant to subdue
Beasts around the table
chant a satanic grace
I saw my own face
in the filth they embrace
Physicality beckons
in this unholy place
I pray what I've seen
my mind can efface
I avert my eyes
to remain true and just
From helping hands
that will morph and disgust
I’m not paranoid although
filling with lust
Some gifts look divine,
served by demons I distrust
Deities fawn and
confess their obsessions
Say they’ll absolve me
of any transgressions
I’m losing my will and
might make concessions
God be with the days,
I had my own possessions
As the churches crumble
the habits reveal
Is a sin still a sin
if you know it’s not real
If this is right, I’ve done
no wrong to appeal
I’m out on my feet,
but not ready to kneel
Even the heavens are tainted
with monsters that float
Their droppings rain down,
but I tighten my coat
Hunching to dodge scythes
that fixate on my throat
Focus past pain
to salvation so remote
Calm amidst chaos
is my weary repose
Rock bottom cannot
inflict any more woes
Right now it appears
as if anything goes
Should I step up to the plate
or keep on my toes
I’ve stooped low in thought
but never in deed
I’ll rise to full height
and in good faith be freed
After all, what’s a hellscape
unless you take the lead
I’m not yet a saint,
just planting the seed
I’ve long left the desert,
beatified in name
People believed me broken,
and can now heal the lame
I found peace in tortured
mind, I battled to tame
Wrested truth by devotion,
exposed lies within shame.
Bad Habits
Oh what bliss is picking your nose
Or removing the debris between the toes
Then forget to wash your dirty hands
And cook the dinner, you understand
And worse to eat the snot that’s picked
It’s enough to make one really sick
Licking the top of a fresh cream cake
And keeping from all of those who take
Popping those spots upon your face
And wipe with a towel to leave not a trace
Buy a pack from the shop then light up
And smoke in the smog coughing phlegm up
Infect your poor neighbour’s healthy lungs
With smoke and tar until they are gunged
Too many sweets are known to be bad
False teeth and fat result from this fad
So rid yourself from all these obsessions
And look upon them with disdain and rejection
