buzzzed

I've been drinking tequlia and beer
All night
Smoked a pack of Camels
I'm too drunk to sleep
Got work in the morning
I cried til my head hurt
Don't know how or why I'm
Writing this
Don't care
Hearts break
Livers stop working
Brains degenerate
Words are meaningless
I am meaningless
Drunk and full of hurt

Blockhead

Torn asunder
The pages of a manuscript
Like the two faces
That peek out
Should this pen ever run dry
Should this scribbling ever stop
I just
I just can't...

December Headache

You snuffed out
The light
The heat
The flame
And some lonely nights
I sigh your name
Even though it's
All in vain

Grumpy Old Man

I rise from a hole in the Sun
Swallowing the Earth
I feel billions of lives
Connect
My rage sends the
Solar system reeling in all directions
Across the galaxy
I curse the name and rearrange the
Stars in a monument to my sexual prowess
Menacing the Old Gods
I piss on their temples
And tear down reality
Laughing in the emptiness
Swimming in the void
I recreate Heaven

Saint Sinner

Fake southern drawl
And a wink
Oily handshake
Selling broken girls
And empty dreams
Arm around the shoulder
The smell of cheap
Men's cologne
Barely masking the
Burnt odor of
A chain smoker
With a crooked smile
He swipes the money
From the table
"All your dreams
come true,Sir. Here in the flesh"
The devil in disguise
The devil in her eyes
Flesh to make
Flesh rise

Chilly

My heart sinks
As a prophecy
Comes true
Lost among so
Many images
So many memories
My heart sinks
Like Titanic
I wish for
Similar times
Wish for
Warm heart

The L Word

I don't know how
To say Goodbye
I don't know how
to let go
You planted a seed
Deep inside me
And it's taken root
It has changed me
Fractured my soul
As it digs deeper
I can't let go
I can't get you out of my head

Alpha

They feed on the bones of viruses
Veined skin so translucent
A face made for cutting
Eyes like stars
Silver crystals ready to explode
There is poison and truth in the blood
Tomorrow you rule the world
With your irradiated soul
Far above the clouds

Moody/Fragile Smile

I am tired of myself
This chameleon that I am
I'm tired of this shedding skin
Changing more often than the seasons
I'm drowning in a sea of personalities
Waiting for that knock out punch
That crowbar to the knee
Or maybe the skull
I owe Karma big and can only
Dodge her goons for so long

Plus One Plus Two

Blood beads along the cut
Cleansed with the juice of
a california lemon
A chemical reaction that
Eats holes in the brain

Frost Bite/Atom Bomb

I am green inside
With anger
Or jealousy
I don't sleep at night
For fear of crippling
Your memories
And you laugh in bars
Drunk on something
Killing a pain that aches
Like frozen muscles in arctic towns

I Think I'm Going Sane

A giant salmon swims
Across the treeline
Little sliver of a moon
Hangs in a twilight blue sky
I write poems on a telephone
While my fingers turn to popsicles
I can see my thoughts in my breath
Cartoon thought balloons
Seeing the world through
The plotted out timeline
Of a movie storyboard
I sink luxury cruiseliners
For a laugh
Costume super jerks
Hunt me daily
To bring me to justice
I jerk my head quickly
To the right
And concuss my brain
Throbbing
My eyes go dark

I Fly Without Wings

They made me in to a human weapon
And pointed me at a target
But a deal was struck
And the headmaster met an untimely end
A livewire
A false look of surprise
A bulging of the eyes
They manufactured a future
And set lose a m.o.n.s.t.e.r.
Don't say it out loud
Out loud
It swallows the sea and
I can't contain it

Pencil Sketch

How many times
Will we hear the bars
Clink
The locks push home
The slap of straight jacket
Straps against padded
White walls
This place is filled with
Living terrors
Fifteen shots of cheap tequila
And a pack of Winstons
The crinkle of flat hard bread
My mind wanders these cell lined halls
You'll find the
Past that suits you best
This Asylum will keep the rest

Because the World has Failed us Both

I stutter your name in my sleep
I write song lyrics while you make plans
For secret meetings with secret agents
You learn how to slip in the silent knife
While I bake a poison cake for my arch-nemesis
What will we do when there are no more
Ghosts
For us to consume?
Will you consume me?
Should I run
Run
Run far away
Or should I stay
Stay
Stay in this bed you made
This grave you've tenderly dug
Do you miss me now my love?
Are my bones already in your stew
Your Assassins are at the door
The window
The mirror
I melt to a scream
And mutter your name in my dream

Insert Witty Title Here

The mood to put this to paper
Strikes
While floating just out of the
Atmosphere
Waiting for a sign
That these flashes
Of immortality mean something
More than a hundred years of life support
Your reasons were your own
Just like Devil had his
Seeing your hand in his
Seeing your lips touch his...
Being bulletproof..
Doesn't mean shit when your heart
Is exposed to the world
I never should have taken off
The mask

Scientist

Sol breaks through the nimbus
Vocabulary lessons
Pretending to be a
Figment
A dark room to fall asleep
Digging ditches in the desert
Bones and cactus roots
I'm an armadillo baby
Maybe you can love that shit
Worth more than the gold vein
That tunnels through your torso
I burn my name in the moon with my laser beam eyes
