Somewhere,
back in the last glow
of sunset,
is my home,
Hawaii.
While this plane
flies me rapidly
back to
Mordor.

To have loved and lost
are a heaven and a hell;
and the place between
is their own purgatory,
a limbo of sorting out.

Castrate the King

Take away his crown
Take away his jewels 
Kill his knights
Burn down his castle but

Without his Queen he is nothing

Darkness
It breeds in my chest
Suffocating
The light

It's hard
Suffering every ragged breath
Knowing
You're gone

Alzheimer's

Another memory gone,
a thought lost to ether,
but still he laughs and 
is cheerful,
even if he doesn’t
know who I am.

Is it because
of the broke goose!
Or what goes
Or man with big nose

Annihilating my soul
Whaling my hurt heart
Destroying my torn being
Evil crushes down within

That I ought
For I sought
What I had fought.

For I forgot
What I besot.

Shattered hearts
Lifeless inside

Awake from a dream about gangsters
it’s Friday morning, I’ve slept in
it doesn’t really matter
now I’ll dream about her
