IN my mind there is loneliness and an empty space filled with darkness
and disgrace.
there is a monster lose in side my mind there is no one like it
it's one of a kind.
I try to control the bad thing's that it think I have tried to banished it
with drugs and drink.
But when the drugs and drink are there no more back comes my tormentor
to kick down my minds door.
I have to Bury it deep in side my mind but a way to torment me
my monster will find.
I searched for salvation to find a way out to show my frustration
I scream and I shout.
I search in the darkness for a door with a key that will free my
tormenter and set my mind free.
so I hide in this darkness so no one will see that the monster I hide is
really me.

He arrived on the back of a wild ferocious beast
He came with a fury that originated way back in the east
The tormenter is on the way, he is leveling every town!
We began to pack up our bags, without much of a sound.
He’s in it for vengeance, they say our kin killed his kin.
We ran as fast as we could, to the tavern next to the inn.
We are not fighters, we argued, wondering what next to do.
We were out of time; the doors opened and in the beast flew.
The rider was ruthless, brought hell with him in the form of an axe.
He slashed and he gashed, and we fell down; these were the facts.
A one man army, hell bent on revenge to make us all pay.
I knew I was a goner as he advanced on us, that very day.
You, he said, pointing to me, you have one second to leave.
He was holding an axe that could have been a meat cleave.
I ran like I had never run before, a chicken’s way out dance.
He left as suddenly as he came, the others had not one chance.

Time Out!
Beads of sweat dripping
from a newfound mustache
steadily I walk trying
to shrink away the years
from this unwieldy body
that cries with every step.
Why now? Why such devotion?
The Olympics I do not seek
my time on earth is halfway done.
Swimming I like, the buoyancy suits
my aging bones, and our morning walks
with the family dog fill me with relaxing joy,
but the treadmill! Please, stop this nonsense!
Spring I thought was my friend
but with you a tormenter is no end;
who knew turning fifty would be
the end of you and me?

Clear your mind
Clear your thoughts
Let go
And breathe
The one who torments me
Lingers in this room
I feel his spirit as I sit on this couch
Watching the wall
And he tells me
Clear your mind
Clear your mind
He is a spirit
A spirit
Who watches my every move
A spirit, A wanderer
who follows me throughout the day and night
And I love him
My tormenter
Because he is me
And I am him
We are one
Clear your mind
Free yourself
For we will breathe again
And you will feel me once again

She called late at night
to tell me of his passing.
I listened for tears yet
I heard very few.
My decision was made
in the silhouette stillness.
I'd not be attending though
my thoughts were consumed.
Ravished by the past
I'm a dark-hearted daughter.
There's no guilt anymore
but the feeling's hard-spent.
Though the years have rolled on
and my soul is well traveled
forgiveness is freedom
I am not ripe for yet.
A child's trust was broken,
the pieces well scattered.
Long time to glue them
together again.
So I won't be there mourning
the loss of tormenter.
Someday I'll be able
to forgive them both.

Mind not free, trapped in its existence.
Can't move behind the chained boundaries of its credence.
Games played out from reality to the next.
Never to be conveyed by truth but, taken out of pretext.
Thoughts wanting to be a unharnessed tormenter.
Encouraging from within; the fomenter.
Intrusive revenge revel the mind.
Insights of viperish thoughts itinerary outlined.
A being mixed with spiteful dejection.
Trying to find veracity and sanction.
To look beyond the follies' of mortals.
To live in peacefully and not in quarrel.
