Writings

Circadian Rhapsody

I am the fork in the resteraunt

Waiting for everyone to realize

They’ve already eaten off me


I am the shadow behind eyes

That comes out to live

When light is hidden behind iris curtains


I am the banks foreclosure

On a perfectly happy home


I am the god of an evil

That rots when it grows


I am the deal that is brokered

I am

The promise it will break


I am the tick that will bite

When you lo...

Turbine

Zenith was the wind

God told him what he saw


He gave the trees reasons to grow strong

Lamented leaves in seasons fall


Helped with grace

Commanded presence


This was simply Zeniths present

To complement the past and future


Altogether with a constant

Free


Existence


He saw when healing was holistic

He saw when bullets went ballistic


He wafted scents outside the kitchen

Carried news in t...

DEAL BREAKERS

Don't give me that look

Especially when you're in the wrong

Always knocking me down to build yourself up

Let me be me


Branded me with your insecurities

Ripped me of my dignity

Extend your hand out for once

Alienated from the one I should confide in

Kisses stay devoid

Empty of any emotion that isn't lust

Repulsed by meaningful affection

Shoot me down again, I dare you...

Deal Breakers

We all do it

We all go through life,

Not really thinking of what’s not okay for us


We always think about what we want

What we need

What we desire


But we never truly think into

The things that we truly don’t want

The deal breakers of our lives.


Like, have you ever thought

What are my deal breakers?

What am I not okay with?...

TCDR

Break through the heavens,

like tears break silence.

reason sealing sense,

bracing for all the sevens.


Tear down the walls,

with bloodied hands.

Ache and demands,

stifling your calls.


Free the calling,

with open lungs.

stop the stalling,

rip the rungs.


Lose your voice,

with passion.

Always a choice,

never a reason.


Seal the pain,

in your heart.

Keep you sane,

from falling apart.


Let it free,...

Deal breaker

I can’t keep doing this

I am breaking this off

Its a deal breaker

You and I

we can never happen

You never listen

You broke my heart

Its over...

The Cynic on Love

Red threads of fate

Threads unspooled from flags

Flown high above the mark.

But watch her, hear her

Spitting molten iron.

I'll leave the red threads to the fools,

The banners for their noxious bearers.

Let others be entrapped by vain promises

Of love and tenderness;

Fools errands for the timid and faint of heart.

Nothing is sacred.

Nothing is pure.

All is dross....

Aisle Four

Walking down aisle four

Disturbing passers by with my

Intensely growling thunder-like,

Three-days-I-haven’t-eaten, and

Angry-as-a-beaten-beast demeanor.


Not knowing what I’m searching for.

The food looks lovely. Take your pick.

The shelves are full. I guess it’s good.

But empty pockets tickle me these days.

Which I don’t fancy, if I’m being honest.


I’d give a crap and take a crab

If I came down ...

Deal Breaker

There are things that you can’t get past

Things that you can’t unclasp

Things that hold you back from moving on

And keep you from the finish line


/


You all have them in your mind

A deal

A break

Something that seems to make a bind

A deal breaker

A bone of contention

The elephant in the room

The ultimate sticking point...

Deal Breaker

Looking into his eyes

We shake hands.

A promise so delicate

It's my heart he demands.

He was quite the taker.


Months pass, time flies

I walk in, her body under his commands

My heart has been suffocate

He shot to kill, and it lands

He was quite the deal breaker.


Yet I stay through all the lies

The love we built somehow stands

One night he does something I could not replicate

He saw a bug and hid ...
