fallen leaves peppers
barricading passages
in across the grounds
leaves spiral pin wheel fly round

WINTER’S WEEPING

Winter’s weeping
   branches breaking
      barricading 
         my path

sinewy arms of the creek
   grab my ankles
      swelling

too sweet
   the taste of flickering flakes
      cooling down the thick black ice

i slam hard the door
   the dark beckons
      i light a sardonic candle
         and awaken

I move
From here to there,
My feet slaves
To my mind.

Automatically moving...
The soul within me
Trapped, jailed
Within this solid mass,
Barricading me from my freedoms....

All of you gone

I would pray for you to seek me out
You wouldn't recognize me as I am 
It matters not, my worth has vanished
Just because...

Human lives are so sporadic
Especially when you're an addict
Addicted to spitting blood straight through the static

Keep an eye over your shoulder 'cause nothings automatic
The story's so enigmatic
A brief moment you're ecstatic
The next, you're barricading yourself up in the attic
'Cause the pain you feel is too charismatic
And the life you live is too problematic
But just live for tomorrow 'cause human lives are so sporadic...
