We can no longer continue as we are, souls weary from nerves

We can no longer continue as we are, souls weary from nerves,
creatures grinding their lives in worries, fearing death because they have never truly lived.
We have lost ourselves in the maps of days, searching for treasures that do not shine under the sun,
and we have forgotten how to sip from the morning as from a

Will I Be Left

Will I be left here?
My heart beats with fear,
my nerves and sweat smear.
Does he look at me,
should I look to see?
No, then hope might fade.
I want plans I made
to stay as dreams bade.

This process is rude,
hurts one’s attitude,
shows no latitude … 
Has he eyed me yet?
Man, my palms are wet.
Wish I were all set.
Please let

The Descent

I took up the call
The command was made
Placed the receiver down
Hardened my resolve
Steadying my shivering nerves
I picked up the gun
Shot at the innocent man
He fell with a thud
Blood spurted from his chest
With my descent into Hell
I fell from Grace 
My gut swiftly swirled
Downwards the twilight zone
A throne of skin and bone spoke
"Thine sin you must

Extreme Audacity

Audacity has a negative connotation
That I despise with a conspicuous passion
It’s fine for somebody to be bold
And not to be too arrogant and cold
Where narcissistic images or horns emerge
Like insatiably bad worms that nothing can purge.
Audacity is not an outstanding quality
Or a special virtue; it is nevertheless an appalling pity.
When one is immersed in deceits

all nerves suddenly alert

sunshine hits my back
I hear the caw of a crow
smelling cut fresh grass
all nerves suddenly alert
someone must be watching me

Nerves A-Twitter

     Nerves atwitter
       like butterflies, they flit
     The stage, brilliant-lit
       band’s in the pit

     Lights finally dim
       glad I’m not him…
    

Caffeine

Caffeine

Soothe my nerves
Soothe my soul
Like a cup of gold

Black as an ace
Bitter as aloe

Increase the adrenaline
Up the heart rate
Low blood pressure treats

Decaff is a joke
Ill-conceived beverage
Makes me want to choke

Resurrection

The cold gates of the blazing seventh circle
again open for one before another,
The mouths of the ground remain ajar
to snatch before heaven has barely given;
While the wind still thirsts for his breath.

As far as prayers go, I like mine hushed,
with my lips barely begging to be seen. 
I tuck my tongue underneath my tongue,
and play

Say Something

Shards of ice
Stuck in throat
Burning sideways
Bitter char
Need to speak
Nothing rises

Calm Your Frayed Nerves

Calm your frayed nerves, dry beading brow
You’ve reached the end, now time can cease
How we got here, don’t ask me how
Calm your frayed nerves, dry beading brow
Accomplished as much as days would allow
Your loose ends are tied, be at peace
Calm your frayed nerves, dry beading brow
You’ve reached the end, now time can cease

Nerves and Needles

Deathly afraid of needles
    Barbie began to whine and wheedle
  
  Aw, Doc, before you plunge in that syringe
    Listen to this, try not to cringe

  Studies show that needle-induced trauma
    afflicts 98% of birthing mommas...

  But Doc went ahead, stuck in

Fear

Fear

I throw a towel into tomorrow 
But I wake up in the dead of the night
My nerves won't let me have a moment's rest
My heart is beating out of my chest
I decide not to fight it
I wake up and burn the midnight oil

When I leave home
The sun is so big and bright in front of

The Mundane

the mundane

nerves all ajangle
stomach knots to untangle
that life once well known
is not playing well at home
builds many obtuse angles

dealing with mundane
each day turning out the same
no bomb exploding
weapons which we are loading
reflects life become too tame

too much day to day
preparedness goes astray
need to stay alert
so people do not get hurt
most serious game we play
