Oh my soul what hails you?
Oh my soul what awaits you?

Oh my soul I have not deserted you
Oh my soul I have something to share
Oh my soul I...

Mother nature oh! Rose of roses!
Mother of all flowers' and smell,
Ylang Ylang! You don't know what it causes!

Rosemary clears the head, you can tell,

Back in Eighth Graded Class
of StraightWhiteMale English privilege
I learned all healthy narratives
must have at least one
of three tension intentions

Unlike sacred mythic prayer and fable 
multicultures invoking poetry 
flowing soulfully 
provoking gospel primal anthems

Of StraightWhite Man...

Search paths to be everlast,
Act fast as you reach your final math,
Equation equals the lost chance,
To hold the happiness stance,
From a distance you can only glance,
Securities reach it's breech,
As followers continue to leech,
Don't speak to...

I was referred to your organization for shelter
what was offered was totally helter skelter
first week a birdie gave the scoop of the place
a dirty dark seedy operation without any grace 

Your mask didn't need to...

On and off I'm popping pills just to sleep
And...
The effects of them are steadily forcing me to grow weak
After a few hours I'm still fighting the sedative
Because...
I'm afraid and these nights are too repetitive.
But, my...

I burrow in silence locked in the depths of a grave.
I need no more guidance as I dwell in my hollow cave.

Unknown whispers…they creek and moan and I am left breathless

The lighthouse shivered in relentless gales on its rocky foundation

Stood the test of time but now it seemed that the clock had gone back

The keeper was sidelined to retire in the Sea Mission’s Nursing Abode

we came together in a passionate embrace
as the plasma flowed and blood raced
 
eyes locked like an eagle on its prey
another victim of love swooped and taken away
 
the instinctive beckoning of raw sexual pleasure

It’s not a dreaded story, created by Grimms*,
but shouldn’t it horror in us and reflection ignite?
Ten thousand children born with malformed limbs
and brain defects, which were caused by thalidomite.

Of comfort and joy to be normal...

What is this new sensation?
What is it that I feel?
What's this sudden lack of breath?
Tell me, is this real?

I've never felt this way before.
So what does it all mean?
Dictionaries call it "guilt,"
But it's a cross...

I have been lost deserted
A drift in a sea of my own...

Not going to pretend it
I've been feeling rejected
And disrespected
Nothing I said and did
Was effective
Time I take a sedative
Or maybe 10 of them

Was fine one minute then out the next second
THC, pharmaceuticals and alcohol ingested
For the...

Interpret this - you psychotic, sociopathic snake
I wish everything in your world to crumble and break

Everything
it just falls down to one word
Everything
and everything I could ever say would never be enough
Everything
and I could blame denial
Denial, my beast and insomnia-tic dream
not here, not present; was it ever really there
I filed this...

When letters wait to pounce on a blank page,
when thoughts crowd the mind like frothing scum in a pond
