drunken, debauched
Mr. Hyde...

primal feral instincts 
involuntarily stir
catching us off guard 
yet here they are
vibrations unwelcome 
which so appear 
where grow their roots
which we nurture

Once was a writer named Jekyll
 Who used  to break his pencils
 But during a break he made a mistake 
What a terrible day for Jekyll

Janus-faced, Jekyll and Hyde—ever revealing, ever concealing,
Uncompromising, stubborn yet humble and yielding
Notoriously sly yet sunny; playful and youthfully mature,
Ephemeral in spirit, fickle in love, nomadic in nature.

A curious man loved his mother
Whenever he came to visit
He would give her many hugs
Then he would loudly yell
Curse obscenities
Then he would love
With a heart
He would
Scream

bright eyes gleaming with mischief
gentle compassionate views
determinedly ambitious
me sober and free

glazed eyes full of hate and fear
anger mixed with self pity
high drama - no coping skills
alcoholic me

Jekyll was done with his night, he wanted some rest
He called for his pseudo, Mr Hyde, the ultimate test
Hyde was hiding, he liked being Jekyll now the best.
Jekyll had a baby fit and fell down on his breast.
Don’t be like that! Called Mrs. Hyde from their nest.
If anyone could bring Hyde back, it’s her, I confess....

My tears are streaming
His eyes were beaming

My thoughts turn to past acts
His thoughts expose the cracks

My never-ending mental torture
His tools are put in order

My race is coming to an end
His race is at the first bend

My end is nigh
His begins on a high

My time here has ended
His time is open ended...

I’m fighting myself,
Myself within,
I can’t break free,
It’s pulling me in,

 
I forged my potion,
Now I’m binned and cursed,
If I turn away,
Would I free the thirst,

 
The evil within,
Craving possession and sin,
It haunts my ghost,
And fevers my skin,

 
I feel the horror,
Shadowed deep inside,
My soul is darkened,
From Jekyll to Hyde....

   Hillel the Sage proffers this commonplace
     for the entirety of the human race 
   Never judge your friend
     until you’ve ‘been in his place’

   So, open the door and see what’s inside
     Does tranquility prevail
       or is something cockeyed

   In you, dear reader, I shall confide
    Folks oft remind me of Jekyll and Hyde

His infant's recurring childhood dreams...
Nightmares while running through the streets
Pitch black her sky; these fields their scenes ?
Half a century passed still turning pages to his haunting's
Truth foreboding it's images ? Silhouetted, of silent screams
Standing at life's window, Prophetic, and a baby's tears crying..
In retro these revelations but no one could hear ? Gazing into this glass....

Eddie took up the call from ‘Uncle Sam’
Awarded a Purple Heart from Vietnam
PTSD turns him into Jekyll and Hyde
His poor wife lives in fear, she’s petrified

Her daily beatings are a disgrace
Livid purple bruises mar her face
Designer shades cover her black eyes
No one sees fists fly or hears her cries

Girl we went fragmentation because
Our thoughts couldn't garner more than
Bits as pieces; but, it never was, a fantasy ?
No Hollywood scripts nor Broadway plays these days....
Albeit Jekyll and Hyde could have mimicked my life: born upon
This wrong side of time ? Reaching into it's hat, with these empty hands
Eight years old again; racing down her ramp ? Are you alright ? Blood, dripping from my lips....

I will go crazy if I don't release these feelings inside me
It's a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde type of poetry!
       Creativity emerges, seen through my minds eye.
My pen surges like the blade of a Samurai!
       It's pure determination to reach out and show it.
An obscure imagination for I AM A POET!!!


 Hmmm...I tag you Charma!
-What makes you the poet you are?
-Must end your piece with; "I AM A POET!"...

The glow of Luna on sultry nights
 Stirs up romance with desire in flight
 The rise and fall, celestial pull
 Dance of tides when moon is full

 When Luna goes in crescent mode
 Just a slice of it is glowed
 The shape we see from earthly view
 Is an illusion of ethereal brew

Luna's power has a dark side
 It can make Jekyll turn into Hyde
 And turn man to beast and make him howl
 As he becomes a werewolf on the prowl.

JEKYLL AND "HIDE"

I decided to go Jekyll and "hide"
And relax in the noonday sun
I forgot to turn on my other side
Since my back was quite well done

Now I have blisters the size of a dime
You can imagine how I feel
But given the right amount of time
These blisters will burst and peel

So my advice to you my friend
Don't go to Jekyll to "hide"
Because like me in the very end
You too will end up fried

We know the dire story of Jekyll and Hyde
Where a man’s potion made his nature divide.
In real life, it’s not easy to separate
Ourselves like eggs and potatoes on a plate.
If man is made in God’s image, then it’s fate
That God has some evil, and men replicate.
Everyone, everywhere, has a bit of both -
There’s evil in us all, a cancerous growth.
You might look at yourself and ponder on, sir,
Which is Frankenstein and which is the monSTER?...
