Suns' light on falls leaves 
Ushering in seasons change
on knifes edge time falls...

... road slowly knifes through

    embankments of reddish earth

    scarred soil of my birth ......

... gravel road slowly knifes through

    embankments of reddish earth,

    scarred, sacred soil of my birth......

~~~ alligator skin like knifes 
~~~~~~ listening to lies...

This black deviants in my mind knifes at the fragile white shell of my control. While this angel of light whispers merciless nature in my ear teasing me. 2/1/07...

Bright red fur
gleaming in the sun like a wild fire
  its gold eye are like amber in the sun
  its teeth like knifes
digging in the dirt
  This creature
is a fox....

Eyes water up, 
Flowing through my veins,
Thoughts of anger, and tears of pain.
Running from these lies,
Saying my goodbyes,
Every word cuts me like knifes.
Stay right here,
And there will be no more fear....

**** that shit,
Voodoo doll's and knifes,
Why be nice?
I already know that i'm a *****!!!
Come here,
Closer,
I'll let you in on a little secret,
I just don't give a flying ****!!!!
NICE?
You can keep that,
MEAN?
Yes that's me!!!...

power trips 
veins pulse   
your tongue slips 
sharp words 
mumbled curse
fist 
face
blood traced 
knifes 
veins lost
eyes rolling
back of your head
siren blowing 
cops dead 
racing forward 
lead 
snaps the air 
bridge water 
life without a care...

blunt open razor 
       shaving atoms off my face 
           pimples are irksome 
          i’ve had a terrible day
    as cogs appear through my jaw

What else is there to say
I’m stuck in a nightmare
On repeat 
And it keeps going
Yet time is slower -
You took it with you
Time doesn’t make sense  
Left us in the dark
Unable to feel you 
A knifes stabbed in my chest
And I feel my heart throbbing
This life became a goddam mess...

I walk on knife's just to 
Survive, while needle and 
Tread in my head trying to
Fix myself to be perfect,
But the monster in my head
Just decides to cut and tear
It all apart. I just want to leave
I just want it all to end , so instea
I just keep walking on the knifes in my 
Head hopeing one day it'll cut me dead...

 Little ones gone
house gone
husband gone
life gone
dreams discarded
they tell me run along
I leave my homeland with a song

one day
I may be old
I will come back to die
with my family buried long ago
never forgotten
one day, there will be a  dance
to tell this story
of slaughter, knifes and thieves 
...

In the darkness of my closet 
I lay on my back...crying
Orange Handled knife in my hand...heart racing
Shapeless emotions coursings through my mind
Tear drops...salty salty tear drops fill my ears
Cold Sharpe knife prickes my already damaged skin
My closed eyes pop open
The knifes drops to the floor immediately
The front door opened
...mom came home
I didn't cut that night
Thanks mom....

The loves that lost or lingers on
to tempt fair heart with faintest song.

The small remnants of primal pain
that rise and rise over again.

Seeking so to immerse absorb
the core of oneness ego’s formed.

One is whole sum yet two can tear
many fine souls hold out in fear.

Loves reward when shared by two
teeters on a knifes edge of cold blue.

We hold hands with broken fingers
torn and grasping lovers linger....

What is happening to our youth of today

Taking knifes and guns with them when going out to play.

Standing on street corners faces hidden by a hood

Drinking alcohol taking drugs and up to no good 

But there are a lot of children who live a normal life 

But how safe are our children from a killer with a knife 

So parents be vigilant and help them to survive. 

And with luck when they go out the will stay alive....

Kitchen berated glass cups and saucers
While in the dishwasher metal forks spoons knifes
Soaking and scrubbing is not an option
Just throw away the utensils
Crushing the ceramic and glass china smashing it to bits 
And pieces turning it from plates saucers bowls
Crushing, smashing them into find sand  
There ain't no running water no ways
Broken Dishes

I have a knife at my throat,
but I'm to scared to use it,
I can't do it,
I can't take life,
a rope is to suffering,
I can't take the jump,
I can't take this life,
but I still can't live it,
I want to die,
but I can't,
I'm to scared,
why can't I take my life,
the knifes in my hand,
at my throat,
but I can't make the cut,
I can't die this way,
I can't jump,
with this rope around my neck,
I can't take this life,
can you take it for me?...

I am a young girl
 Who suffered a lot in this world
 Problems never ended in my life
 Bad dreams of tears and knifes
 I’m just one of those girls
 Who dealt a lot in this world
 That you can say smiles a lot
 But inside been through more than enough 
 Been  around to speak her mind
 Wouldn’t leave someone important behind 
 Yep, I’m that girl 
 One of millions of people in this world
 And I have a story
 I hope one day it’s a memorable glory...

Hands like the quivering branches of a tree
Waving in the wind
         Waving to the sound of the violin
Scars of history become unmasked
As her sword comes out for evening play
Drum beats and heart depletes
Eyes that pierce
Like silver knifes through my heart
         She dances around my lingering thoughts
Day and night a string of nightmares begin
Of a musical love and notes that ring
I wonder what may have been
If she let me play her violin...

Pupils trace the movements
Of the Dancers fluid turns
From where they sit untouched
Since Creator joined concern
The head rests ever quiet
Awaiting measured hands 
Grant features to the sunset sky
As Creator fails to stand
Unspoken words wait on lines
Of abandoned notebook page
Knifes do dull, pencils sharpens
Yet Creator locks the cage
Corpses strewn across the room
Blue blood of time stains teeth
Gruesome grin meets tired eyes
Kill Creator in their sleep....

I hate you, whoever you are,
I hope your hit by a car.
I hate you, you took my heart,
When you took his life before it got to start.
I hate you, for taking him away,
And haunting my life with that day.
I hate you, its all your fault,
I hope you feel a knifes assault.
I hate you, for doing this to me,
I hope your torment you'll never be free.
I hate you, everything you are,
I hope your doomed to a hell afar.
I hate you ooh so much,
I hope you feel deaths touch....

I'm not ashamed 
Not today 
to say that I've walked astray 
From a life paved in pain 
Empty halls filled with screams 
Veins that bleed like forest creeks 
The wood floor creaks 
Knifes and the bleach 
The demons screaming in me 
Wanting release 
Something horrific like you've never seen 
My shadow even runs from me 
Come back let's play I need to squeeze 
The last breath from you 
You will ever breathe 
The darkness inside me 
It just wants to love somebody...

bleeding red petals 
from too many
crumpled roses
dripping
from his 
book of poems

he thought he'd never
found his love
but
freedom 
always
won

morning sun
stretches
through his window
pounds the face
of the Peloncillos

early birds
from 
empty trees
reach out
 
while a parade of 
sighs 
knifes down the road

he tried not to
write her into
his stitched-up
Frankenstein 
heart

poor baby

another
crumpled rose 
in his book of poems
bleeding red petals...
