The Smile Behind YouDon’t turn around,
Smile.
Look at me, and the light.
Of my eyes, They drip blood.
Don’t turn around,
Smile.
Forsaken me now.
In the middle of nowhere.
Don’t turn around,
Smile.
Bleed for me.
Bleed for me, and the wife.

A lesson to be learned from Don Juan's sorry fate
Don't invite a statue to your party.
Don't mess with beings made of stone.
Frail mortals are much more hearty,
so keep safely to weak flesh and bone.
Don Juan, that notorious rake,
seduced ladies, we know, by the score.
No loaf would he let overbake.
He...Read More

With nascent wings cresting my sky
I too longed to rise high...Read More

VAMPWhere her kisses hit
Skin is not what it seems
It holds dreams
Something inexplicable
A permanent reminder
Where her lips have been
Looks as normal as before
But feels more
Like an open door
Letting in a breeze that’s not a breeze...Read More

Things have not gone,
the way that you believe they should.
I have not said a thing.
Things are not what they need to be,
but that does not matter.
I will stand beside you forever.

I'm learning, to not be lonelyI'm learning, to not be lonely
And coping, but the darkness is soaking
Inside my mind, to the point I can't find
The line, and the sign.

Locked in a cell, so you can...Read More

My GiantSummer rain, melting Arctics
and the lipids lining the nerves
in your brain. These are the metrics
of our times. Mere resolve
is not enough to take care
along the highway—you need wheels and prayer.

that’s a scary day. End...Read More

this is my solution to help control my chronic sleepwalking.

Fashionably DeadlyMovie star eyes
Perfect caramel skin
Screech. That would be too perfect.
Change that to something pastier
Alabaster maybe
The monster in the mirror
Smiled with her green eyes
Vivian Leigh maybe?
She watched her face transform
But she added the caramel
And she looked more like
Sophia Loren
Maybe brown...Read More

Who is an ArtistWho is an artist?
Every hand shoots up.
Confident smiles.
Kindergarten.
The most confident grade level.

Three hands go up.
Another starts putting up her hand.
Receives a glare from one of the artists.
Puts her hand down.
Third grade
It is scary that so much confidence...Read More

The scary principal
Who makes us crazy

It’s a well known fact.
She’s a tyrant
When we are lazy.

EVIL DOESNT NEED CONSENTas I'm siting by the window
observing the abandoned sky
on my leather chair
I observe no moon
just pure rain falling
drinking warm tea
at 1:30am
I see people getting stabbed
I'm not calling anyone anymore
let them be dead for all I care
I notice red lights
