one day
we will die
lifeless in this
realm
deteriorating heap
of flesh and bones
then why
why not
conjure the audacity
to question every thing
you already exist
in a realm of infinite
possibilities

I do not know?
Brightness fading
Time takes its toll
Green encroaches the outer shell
Putrid smells clouding heads
Weak and beaten
Lifeless and broken
Structure deteriorating
One last adventure
A final memory
Boxes waiting to be filled
A final resting place

Blank verse
Breathing tedious life into a heedless cadaver,
Peering over barbed wire to see the edge of never,
Building on the ashes of love that branded the heart painfully slow,
Deteriorating hopes plunge deep to the abysmal stillness only received once below.

I sit inside this jar
Watching through the glass
As life proceeds without me
I sit inside this jar
Waiting for nothing
My ambitions aimless
I sit inside this jar
Wasting...
Decaying...
Deteriorating...
Soon
I will be nothing
But dust
At the bottom
Of this jar

The seen and unseen
we are: Forehead Eye
awakened slowly
or else the burn
would annihilate
therefore—the graces;
Sons of God
in His image created
we are a Universe Body,
and yet
we limit awareness
to cells deteriorating
that which is
immortal
and ever
conscious….

Time is a road.
We move forward and backwards;
sometimes we move at the same pace,
different speeds, while other times we collide.
Progressing or deteriorating as humans,
we're all travelers through time,
trying to understand how and why we are moving
up and about, like eternal pendulums.....

Everytime I pray
Everytime I try
Situation remains the same
Everytime I shed tears
Everytime I put my brain to work
Conditions keeps deteriorating
Everytime I zonk out my energy
Everytime I crack the nuts
State of affairs stays at the insitu
What the is life anyway
It is ups and downs

I hear the walls starting to
break. Creak crack. It's
starting...do I have enough
cement to save this? Sheer will
alone can't hold it up. After it
breaks will any one want to put
it back up. This could be the
last chance to save this wall.
Try as I may nature will have
the final call. But for this wall
I'm giving my all.

My soul has been deteriorating
beneath the tattoo of life.
The stains have left behind
an antagonizing belief of love in my veins.
Pain is ripping at my skin,
tears are drying out my blood.
Fear is cloning a shadow
to trick my emotions,
to see an imprint of the smile I once had.
My cry is turning into
a seasonal habit of depression;
in the mind of the heart.

Weary eyes gazed to the sky.
Pleading for the sun to beam a hope of comfort.
Mind wandering in the midst of wind.
As to why he was paying for his father’s sin.
Petite hands trembling.
As he fumbled in bewilderment.
Skinned down to the naked bone.
A feeble body diminishing suddenly,
amongst a memory leisurely deteriorating.
With only the remembrance of purple leaves.

Chaos of mind Eating, inching, scratching, crawling.
Deteriorating the tissue of my mind.
Enveloping miasmic corporeal vibrations.
Sounds that stretch, twist, and creak.
Leaking emissions evaporation a contaminate.
Eyes a window attached to the mind the trenches. Elaborated around the voices eating, itching, scratching crawling.
Is my sanity dissolved into chaos made impartially?

Take 5-
A step back
Your distortion of reality
Deteriorating subconsciously
Unable to distinguish fact from fantasy
It’s not so bad –
Living in your imagination
What’s real or a hallucination
My mind is trampled with anticipation
Body facing ablation
Tortuous mind, its obligation
To dissipate the stagnation
Of a creative mind-
Obliteration of the finest
But hell, my own mind is biased

I'm deteriorating.
You don't know how little I eat,
how much I ****,
that I use drugs.
You see me- behaving quite naturally,
doing the things I need to do to prove:
I'm alive.
I'm alive, but for how long?
I turn my lips upward to pretend the signals aren't there.
My heart fluctuates and pulsates off beat-
my internal metronome needs repair.
I'm out of breath.
Am I out of life?

Like an endless death
Every day I feel as if I’m deteriorating
I can feel my soul degrading
Make it stop
I’m getting mad
It hurts too much
Like 1000 paper cuts and such
Make it stop
The mask that has to go up
In order to get through the day
I want it all to go away
Make it stop
The pain of opening my eyes
My patience is growing thin
The lack of emotion is growing in
Make it stop.

Dramatic Verse
More salt, more sugar
More sour, more sweet
More beats, more energy
More cravings, more addiction
Bitter blood, sweet blood
Diluted blood, thick blood
Screaming vessels, stenotic vessels
Pounding vessels, sluggish vessels
Pressures rising, failing pumps
Tears tearing, organs inflaming
More mirrors, more fears
Calorie counts failing, organs deteriorating
Too much salt, too much sugar
Too much work, to fix the extremes

I’m tired in this drop
The walls are all the same
I’m soaked now
In the midst of deteriorating
It hurts more than normal
I think it’s broken
The light up top is gone now
Just like the one down here
Oh well… oh well.
The love inside the teardrops
Has turned to the coldest rain
Now there’s just the pain
It’s settled in my chest
Eating at my insides
Feeding at the dead lives
The end will not come quickly
Not even quietly
For now, I just sigh at thee

Tiresome trivial circumstances
Never ending failures
On far off decided chances
Treat life as a purgatory
When will favors be sent my way
An opportunity
An immeasurable means
Out of this deteriorating abyss
This perdition of myself
Condemnation of body, mind, life
Endless abandonment
No savior in line of sight
Tramples hopes and expectations
Knowingly participating
In a life of agonizing suffering
No future for everlasting nirvana

We need better plastics,
To hell with the bakelite saints
That stand silent inside,
The great wheels,
of the grand vehicle.
Forever sleeping behind visqueen,
Covered plexiglass,
hiding themselves
From the eyes of prophets,
And cruel November.
We need better plastics,
The Christ that guards
The scorpion forever persevered
In lucite;has become,
frail from the sunlight
And cracks, with each
Touch,slowly deteriorating
With each passing December.

Why ? Is it I'm behind and when you're in debt
You're in the rears ?
When you're late you pay a fine,
it costs you patience monies and time
Credit deteriorating fathom gross abundance
Payments lost you are shot in the back
In the rear behind buttocks with penicillin
In the buttocks medicine can't stop smallpox
In the rears payment and debt
Your crimes your financial debts ends when you're Dead?

Crumbling skin and swollen eyes
Make me carry the darkest lies
The walls i built to feel no pain
Were now starting to suffocate
Every mirror shows a different side
I wonder if i ever was right
Getting confused between death and life
Deterioration had taken quite a time
Everything in me wanted to let go
But Maybe pain still had its love to show
As i smiled crumbling with broken needles
My breath no longer asked for air
And there came an end
To each inch of the space i had.

LOST AND UNRECOGNIZABLE, LOOKING LIKE THE WORST ABSTRACT ART, THROWN TOGETHER ACCIDENTALLY
THROWN ASIDE LIKE AN OLD CAR TAKEN TO A JUNKYARD TO BE CRUSHED AND SHREDDED
DETERIORATING LIKE AN OLD HOLLOW TREE ROTTING AWAY IN A DEEP FOREST
ISOLATED LIKE A THOUSAND-YEAR-OLD GLACIER IN THE ARCTIC. FROZEN SOLID BY LAYERS AND LAYERS OF DISAPPOINTMENT, AGONY, AND SELF-DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR
EMOTIONALLY STRANDED IN A REMOTE PART OF THE WORLD ALONE AND LIVING IN DARKNESS FOR 21 HOURS A DAY

Sandy Times
Trundling over soft
feet deteriorating downwards
Attempting migration
to impenetrable grains
Dramatic curving seas
landscaped for eyes to dance upon
Cloudy lilied surf
circumnavigates at the foot
Colourful daystar
skulks dreamingly away
Big whites enshroud
the navigating splendor
Scattered coral
Impinges the mind
Pebbles placed into
Intriguing decorations
On now rigid sand
Destinations met
The soul refreshed
Remembering
enjoying
Sandy times
