I never had the
Capacity
For perspicacity
The #reality?
My words & verbs
Stuck in an alleyway
Of banality
Let it be what it may
While others drive
Free on the freeway
Of he say & she say
The bars I spit & spray
Comes with a note
Of finality
Killer
Like a verbal fatality

Is this the #goal? He mused disconsolately. To draw in yet another agonizing, pointless breath?

To hear the maddeningly monotonous beep-beep-beep of the machines monitoring his vitals while laying here in this antiseptic hell?

Better to pull the fucking plug & be done.

Beyond within
Let end begin
For night grows near
(I shall not fear)

I cannot steer
So drift & veer
My hands too weak
(I shall not speak)

Though all is bleak
I will not seek
To find a lie
(I shall not cry)

And so I die
With whispered sigh
I join the night
(I shall not fight)

We took #issue
With how Sol died
Falling from the sky
With nary a whisper
& us alone to play
With the bleak things
So we found a new diety
Grinning in the night
With cold sickle smile
Ebon locks adorned
In distant diamonds
Limned in luminescent lunacy
We found our light

They spoke of the night sky in ancient #literature - old Luna framed by a billion pinpricks, smiling his knowing smile.

Yet we bid farewell to the stars, embracing the ebon abyss, knowing they were never for us.

Just twinkling memories, fallen as forgotten tears...

Dark heart
Marked soul
Can't lose
Control
Just have
One goal
Must play
Some role
Trust may
Be stole
Rust away
High toll
Must have been
My roll
Die cast
Not whole

Just my #education

We had no #creature comforts
Where I was born & bred
We worshipped triple-beam dreams
Razor blade cuts
& lined-up scenes
Suits & ties?
Shit...they were nothing but
The fruits of lies
Laughing
While the spark
In our eyes dies

Razor-traced lines
Cutting into an
#Argent filigree
The pain
Exquisite
Each line
Beautifully defined
And it's killing me
My feelings be
Unrefined
From a sundered mind
An Escher artwork
The ending
Underlined
And all I ever thought
Of myself
Now undermined

We're trapped here
In this petri dish #experiment
Microscopic menagerie
Living & dying
Under harsh light
Never knowing
If the last goodbye
Will be our next
Goodnight

'It's going to be ok', I think to myself as the voices - dead voices. Ghosts - #creep in, whispering in hidden corners.

Hungry.

Worms eat as worms do. Burrowing with malicious malfeasance, erasing & displacing all positive thoughts.

And my sanity? Nothing but a meal.

It's all going to come down to one final breath. The big things and small. The worries, fears, and preoccupations. Those you hate & those you love.

Forgotten in a final gasp.

The world will continue its #heliacal journey, until it too gasps its last.

And all is quiet.

Treated myself to a haircut and pizza.

What are you doing to be kind to yourself this weekend? 🖤

On Saturdays we do exciting things, like hooking up the trailer and going to the dump. 🤣

After a couple of weeks hosting my own personal pity party, along with being sick...

I'm back. 😈🖤

My idea of a wild Friday night...

No matter how dark things get, you can always find some light within.

Be kind to yourself.
Love yourself.
You deserve it. 🖤❤️🖤

Unsought & #unseen
No one thought
He had dreams
Yet so caught
He sewed seams
The threads ripped
& Wove screams
His head gripped
Ran through scenes
The dead slipped
To all themes
& Bled script
By all means
While red dripped
To extremes

We ain't got much time here. Love as hard as you can, as much as you can. 🖤

#HumpDay is almost officially...behind us... 😆

I don't have #energy
I'm tired
Tired of Dawns & Sunsets
Loss & regrets
Of being the one
Everyone forgets
Tired of living & breathing
Dreams & believing
Tired of hoping & coping
With everyone leaving
So I'll sigh my last sighs
& goodbyes
My last rites
Just my last cries

Halfway through the week but I only have energy for throwback humping.
October 22, 2025 at 1:35 PM
Sat in a circle
#Saucer sized eyes
Bound by ties
The way that time dies
Entranced I was
By the crackling cook
Ensnared unprepared
For the shackling hook
& it TOOK
IT FUCKING TOOK
So I sought the bliss
Of sweet razor kiss
Hoping I would
Drift away
Hoping I wouldn't exist

The line
Between love
And loss
Is but an #atom thick

Give me anesthesia
I need an anesthesiologist
As I #hover here
Between the border of death
And just unconsciousness
I need a way out now
Radiate me a radiologist
Someone with knowledges'
Someone to save me
No if or maybe
Or say the last rite
And tell me goodnight
