The Raven’s Poison – Coming Soon









Stumbling into a fuzzy
and sanitized brainstorm
Watching the fury
leave stains where the mime
inside placed his hands
on the four by four box
Chatter dissolves
Blood clots stricken
Nonstop convulsions
A falling stigma is spread
like dust on the tricks
of my broken down mind
Fears wallow
Doubt hangs like tree branches
in a distraught hurricane
Analytics in bold
Emotions shredded
Wiping away the dirt from
my cynical and distant eyes
Leaving the mime inside
cry like a new born baby
Constantly misunderstood
A misguided circus fumbling
through the fog
A part of me is the feather
of a soaring bird
Never falling to the ground
without direction
Grasping the words of the prayer
Sent to God from a letter
Please save the mime
Check out my books!

Chopped up dialogue
Interpretations of saturation
Absorbed by lost brain waves
Unfolding by a misunderstanding
Swallowing mashed up berries
Filling heartache with sand
Surrounding it with ten pound cement
Reminiscing the foolishness
Blaming the scavengers
Walking down Cheap Wine Avenue
like a stray dog in an empty storm
Plagued with expectations
Relentlessly undressing the wounds
Baring the char broiled soul
Washing the spots of hands
Praying to turn to the left
to see the state of peace lane

I’m disappointed in myself as usual
I’m disappointed to reach for something I can not feel
I’m disappointed with my voice of truth
I’m disappointed in my ignorant silence
I’m disappointed with my points of view
I’m disappointed with my deceptive mind
I’m disappointed in the fool I can’t see
I’m disappointed that I couldn’t feel the needles puncture my skin

I use to languish in the polygon of my weeping mind
I thirst for the fragments of my anguish to mold my center
I use to sulk inside myself and drink the wine of selfishness
I sunk my teeth into the dejection
I use to dwell in the camouflage and sink in my words
I swam in the black river under the oppression
I use to neglect faith and drown in the empty tear ducts
I fell into the depths of silence
I use to grieve in the awaken sadness and never sleep
I felt the last breath deceive me
I use to shed my dead skin in the morning to erase the gloomy nights
I carried a chain of misery
I use to gasp at the hollowness and gazed at the autograph
I refused to stare at the nemesis
I saw the signature and found it revolting
A transformation within shouted

Very little happiness
Pouring out in ink
Very little optimism
Flowing through my veins
Very little words
I will keep everything
to myself as usual
Constantly disoriented
frozen whispers speak to me
A deep hunger
to be understood
An appetite
to be stirred by intimacy
No one cares
No one shows it
Efforts are fallen between
the cracks
No one hears me
No one listens
Distorted perception wakens
This is my canvas
Only a writer, a poet,
will gravitate to my words
To everyone else
I am not here

No verses can disguise
the barbwire truth
Furious on the inside
Depression settles like dust
A intact plan merges
Ignoring my needs
Methodical and analytical
Reread the chorus
Every day was an opportunity
you threw away to show me
Nothing will prepare you
for what I’m about to do….

Exchanging blows
Trouncing the integrity
Parading with clout
Testifying with a punch
Ruthless and cold
Clobbering with animosity
Losing perspective
Gaining self worth
Sitting on a Island
without a blanket of protection
Circling apathy
with loneliness on a death bed
Persecuting myself
Questioning my beliefs
Constantly defending my being
Slowly giving up to society’s views
Beneath the clutter
and the discolored anxiety
the war between us continues
Engulfed by the
fractured promises
Gobbled up by the
untamed distance
Dwelling in the dusk
crawling through the
dark wild
Regurgitated phrases
of shades of love
Acknowledging the
hardened suffering
Stomaching the
patronizing goodbyes
Inhaling your desolate
and sinister perfume
Sucking and gulping
your mocking remarks
Withstanding your
arrogance and malicious core
Underneath the deceased
your stigma withers
I’m so fucking mad
About the day I had
She wasn’t glad
That I kissed Chad
I’m so freaking upset
About what I didn’t get
She was part of the bet
By Monday she will forget
I’m so undesirably distraught
About the day I lost
She was happy I got caught
My feelings can’t be bought
I’m so damn pissed
About the day I missed
She was in the A list
By the weekend I cut my wrist

Pouring down overused mentalities
Change fumbling around
Pulling four quarters to insert
in the old fashioned jukebox
Numbers exchanged between
the mentalist and the statue
Between the shot glass
and the pint of a Irish stout
Scattered observations are slurred
Tip toeing through the cigar vapors
and the barking stilettos
Polluted with aggravation’s
and lipstick smudges on the glass
Empty barstools are playing violins
Loneliness waits for no one
Be careful where you drown
your heartache and sorrows
Look up at the glaring neon sign
The Bottomless crutch

You call
yourself a friend
But you are not
One by one
Evidence is clear
Meaningless word
Slowly my contacts
are erased from
my mind that use
that word
Don’t worry
My friends are the
words that are here
before my
awakened eyes
I know where I
get the attention
that I crave
It’s from people
who don’t even know me
that see me in
a different light
I “connect” with those
that write from the soul
and the heart.
I can accept the loneliness.
