1/16 inch thin layers
Appealing to the saliva of the dogs
Overrated and shallow interiors
Claiming to be a superior
A rancid exterior to animals
Gritting my frustrated teeth
Recognizing a frivolous mind
Intellectually inept and blank
A lost Aardvark in the desert
Shutting you off like a valve
Lacking the ability to digest
Mad at myself for allowing you in
A crawling fool on the inside
Seeking depth and connection
Seeing an overhyped individual
Clasping to the vicious sound
Grinding my teeth to loneliness
Clenching to the hollow rattle
Snagging the callous pages
Latching on to the emptiness
Seeking the comfort in the corner
Clutching to the invisible truth
Absorbing the bitterness
Digesting too much judgement
Consuming bits of the view
Seizing the blankness
Clawing inside my cage
Refusing to listen and understand
where I was and where I am
Kiss me until we see the dark
Stand in the showering limelight
Seal your vow in the music box
Recite your lyrics softly in my ear
Sing me a song of devotion
Hum to me in your hushed tone
Dress me in your secret message
Hesitate your seductive murmurs
Swallow your sighs and hints
Mumble your satire in your birthday suit
Leave me your pamphlet of ridicule
Staring at your cynicism and bitterness
Remove the jaw jacking banter
Make love to me like the rancid dog
Deliver me one honest sentence
Walk away like the black widow
Like a caterpillar in the midnight rain
Crawling through the hollow misery
Love departed in the chilling seams
Disappearing sentiments shriek
A Rendezvous slipping away in palms
Astonished by the copper leaves flying
Lakes drying up from the emptiness
Broken prayers misguided by the glare
Compromises thrown like pounds of dirt
Discomfort stuck in the tendons
Our love trembles and yowls
Agony settling like trampled dust
Gasping on the soaring affliction
heartache submerged in soot and spit
A romance ripped at the fingertips
Surrounded by the scalding temperatures
Violent cramps pricking rhythmically
Thickening torture runs down my throat
Weeping madly and in confusion
Seeking deadly faults within the glass
An illness dispersed in coarse veins
Our love shivers and screams
Clarity is a dark cloud dangling
in my sunken and insomniac eyes
Jumbled up words scribbled in my mind
Walking like a tormented disorder
Gripping on to the petals with my palm
Forever embroidered within my sleeves
Dropping it below my tattered knees
Falling to the distorted earth
Gazing up at the swollen apricot sky
Tears flooded like a waterfall
Our love bleeds and pulsates
Shadows of the gravestone widen
A fortress of preciousness clamped
Clutching adoration and admiration
Seeking answers from a growl
Tasting chunks of sorrow
Drinking melancholy from a flask
Elsewhere and gone in my pockets
A nickel has more value than my identity
Bitten by never ending and lasting scars
Latching onto oppression and misfortune
Our love flinches and grovels
Questioning faith and man made religion
Cursing like a drunken sailor
Angry at the curved roads without signs
Cut hands raised in the fickle air
A flight of exasperation lingers
Waking up from vexation in my stomach
Anxiety and headaches twinkle like stars
Burden worn like an army jacket
Distress sinking in my teeth
Anguish and inward sketches touch
Our love is seeking answers in the mist of our hands
Hunks of rubbish
Scattered bottle caps
Lumps of fast food containers
Dried up cheese stuck to a
week old pizza box
Sour milk and pickle juice
creating a horrid lake
Spread out diseases disperse
like ants and centipedes
Horrifying stenches linger
Ashes expanding miles and miles
Mountains of a monstrosity
Lingering funk travels like a turtle
Baking and sizzling in the sun
Like a junkyard in the desert
Rusty carburetors and mixed bolts
Tossed out old relationships like
last years self absorbed garbage
Check out my books!
Icicles of vulnerability
dangle over my crucified nerves
Leisurely indulging
a mass consumption of integrity
Thickening the backbone
Watching frustrations corrode
Tortuously eyeballing the poison
seep in my blush vertebrae
Struggling between the roar of
disarray and the calm light
Hacking up chunks of sincerity
Clearing my throat to voice
the sound of everlasting waves
from my vibrant spine
Drops of sorrow fall to my feet
Faith never misled my center
She sketched me
a biting breeze
I brushed a stroke
of blood paint
on her wounded knee
She fell into the pit
of the abstract skies
As I sat in purgatory
playing the iron fiddle
She hurdled the
flashing disturbance
As I held on to her
ancient pieces
I saw her tired eyes
blink for a millisecond
The gore continued
Swamped in a fluorescent obstruction
Cornered in a sea of obscure glass
Dismayed by the faint watercolors in your pupils
Stunned from the 3:30am neon ablaze
Unwavering sounds of turbulent engines
Nervousness wedged between affection and tenderness
Marveled by the touch of your scorched hands
A rendezvous of an ancient wizard and a reborn artist
Playing with altercations and differences
Gasoline wasted like the dissention in the atmosphere
Barely tantalized by your curvature
Flexing the irony and wisecracks
Mocking jolted decisions and pointing out undersized flaws
Irrational sentences dispersed like trash on a uncut lawn
Ignoring her dyslexic and child like tongue
Once in love with the snakebite and tortuous virus
Abandoning a run down jalopy on the side of the road
On the left of me charades drift
Grandiosity shrinks in a bubble
On the right of me a cliffhanger wobbles
Sick brain twisters entwine
Like a stickler stuck in honey
Mysteries fumbling in the peak hours of the night
Reciting the sixty four thousand dollar question
Disguised by a painted enigma
Lost in a foolish pseudonym
Wearing a gray pompous suit
Insincerity rippling in my veins
A glass image shimmering in your web
Sleeping next to a facade
Making out with tossed to the curb excuses
Complexity and complication is a mixed drink
Tangled up in a maze
Indecisions hide like bats in the echoes of the cave
Uncertainty sips from the acidic river
Vinegar seeping between the crushed bones and sharp nerves
Isolation and desolation are thumbs ripped from each hand
And the rattle lingers in the corner of the ear drum
Dismay is tucked away behind a faded curtain
Flaws stick to me like starving fleas
Substance is the saliva dripping from the piranha’s teeth
The equilibrium inside me wakes up the storm
And the rattle parades in a rhythm that disturbs the haze
Symptoms of a nontransparent disease spread
Inside the soliloquy the cage embraces the thunder
Murmurs and grumbles tremble with fright
Theology and myths walking in unison
And the rattle pounds like a headache
Butchered insults and splinters drive three inches through my anger
Crude laughs and vicious skies open up pouring sadness
Exasperation drags my eyelids through the dirt
Sorrow is a creek that I cleanse the silence
And the rattle pierces my aching skin
And I lay here with the rattle in the cage soothing the emptiness
Kill my ignorance
Lay me down
Kill my soul
Choke everything
Kill my existence
I want nothing here
Kill my silence
I want to disappear
Kill my love
For it was never true
Kill me now
I’m done living
Drowning Lies Pass
I scratched my identity
with a worn 1974 penny
I saw moisture dripping
from my divided reflection
Murky colors and shades
of discomfort twitch
Uncontrollable jitters
Apathy is a phobia suspended
over my troubled head
A hemorrhage spread out
from the corners to the end
Lack of intersections and interest
Bent and upended against
paralyzed and indifferent nerves
I saw the gash and blemishes
inside the blood clot
I abandoned the rustic door
and sit inside the character
No one wishes to see exist
Define the magnitude of one word
A parentheses around the verb
State the clarity in one sentence
Clarify the significance of the emotion
Stagger around the density
Between the solitude and frustration
Singularity sticks to loneliness
Revelations bound to ignorance
Disregarding the format of communication
Absolutely disheartening
Wasted chapter sealed shut

I walk around with sanity
wrapped around my cold neck
I chatted with the in acid reflux
stuck in my throat
I slept with the hurricanes
surrounding the monster within
I fell into the ocean that
consumes the wreckage outside
I stood in front of the villains
that stole love from the monsoon
I left the darkest tunnel
to seek empathy in the light
I haunted grief like the night wept
under the hooked stars
I woke up from the phantasm
and threw away the silence to breathe
Exacerbated teeth
Displeased tone
Fiercely antagonized
Resentful up to the neck
Offensive esophagus
Twitching irrationally
Ill tempered and fuming
Provoked by repetition
Inflamed and irritated
Constantly harping
Strapped in defense
Whiplashing an offense
Sore and wrathful
Frozen solid to the center
A fistful of anger
Disrespectful and disregarded
Mouthful of harsh words
A storming outburst
Hanging acid from the corners
Bitter and twice bitten
Open up the wounds
One brutal tongue lashing
Constant friction
Embedded complexity
Honesty drains
Compliments swerve
My condolences to
the self centered
I will alter my pathway
No longer will I
be compelled
to leave twinkling remarks
Tapping my left foot
to the trembling acoustic sessions
Pouring out my sliced up heart
to a blind mannequin from Florida
Ignoring the gauze wrapped tight
around my twitching fingers
Manipulating the longwinded view
of the moment she packed her
things in a thousand dollar suitcase
to leave me empty bottles and
stains on the lavender sheets
Bartender, bartender pour me a shot
please fill up my glass of half empty truths
Tell me the melody won’t stop playing
in my spinning and rambling head
Paint me a picture of a crystal clear moon
Preach to the fire hydrants
the rain will put out the crying flames
Send me photographs of the future
with a bouquet of blossoming dreams
Write me a love letter without the
scent of scotch on the envelope
Tell me the six strings will reverberate
in my sea of liquid sorrow

Like a sunburn in the desert
skin bright as copper
Peeling the layer of desensitized
anger off with bitter teeth
Lackluster consideration
Wrapped around her centered self
No longer grasping of love
Magenta saliva dripping off
his jaded and reckless tongue
Calm like a silent bomb
Ripped off exasperation
Provoking frustrations
Boiling animosity and tantrums
Scratched and irritated affection
Pecks and lifeless cold shoulders
Struggling to confine the stew
Outraged by the stillness
A piece of mind is endlessly shaking
You are a hidden mask
You are a contradiction with high regard
You are a picture without a frame
You are a weed in the garden
You are a chameleon in camouflage
You are a longwinded book without a cover
You are a fat lip with a lisp
You are a spider in the basements’ web
You are a leach in the morning
You are a branch that broke off the tree
Dipping fingers in the cardinal sin
Centipedes gnawing on thin bones
Speaking with a ferocious tongue
A political speech for the hungry
Civilians bodies are spread out
Fistfuls of pennies are raised
No questions from the peasants
Walking up Scarlet Hill without armor
Surrounded by faith and emptiness
Glory and revenge are gripped
A rising battle among the defeated
Mothers pride fades away
Destroying a lost crusade
Hailing to the sovereign minister
Prayers becoming a fixture
A shrewd dictator of millions
Disregarding what humans want
