I’m Broken

I’m broken

I’m defeated

I’m lost

 

I’m in the negative dust now

Surrounded by cold darkness

In the ache of a larger heart

 

I can’t save myself

Can’t perform

Can’t climb out

Or dig out of the grave

 

I’m broken

I’m defeated

I’m lost

 

This is just a dream

A big wet dotted grid

A battle of redness

I’m swollen now

 

Cracked

Hit

Smacked

 

I’m on the railroad

I’m hitchhiking across the U.S.A.

I’m nobody

I’m nothing

 

I’m broken

I’m defeated

I’m lost

 

My eyes blink

My arms move

My knees give in

And lose my balance and fall

 

Should I stay or go?

Maybe I’ll just become a fool

Time after time

Hurt

 

Outreached hand

Bloody palm

From aching heart

And tears of hope

 

I’m broken

I’m defeated

I’m lost

 

I’m limp

I’m numb

I’m crying alone

 

I’m dirt

I’m disgusted

I’m wasted

 

I’m drunk

I’m a doormat

I’m shattered

 

I’m smoking now

I’m a disease

I’m a singer of tears

 

I’m walking in circles

I’m a circular saw blade

I’m burnt into ashes

 

Thinking hurting

Challenged

Given up

 

Controlled

Poured

Should have remained silent

 

I’m broken

I’m defeated

I’m lost

If You Let Me In

Your lips

Penetrated my armor suit

What am I to do?

If you let me in

If you let me in

 

I remain silent

Wishing

Not knowing

 

My guard falls down

I’ve been strong for years

Solid with concrete walls

Huge doors and locks

 

Your lips

Penetrated my armor suit

What am I to do?

If you let me in

If you let me in

 

I circle your navel with my tongue

Wondering

Not feeling

 

My eyes look up at the darkness

It’s all I can do

Until you let the warmth come out

And I can hold you tightly

 

Your lips

Penetrated my armor suit

What am I to do?

If you let me in

If you let me in

 

I engulf your body and mind at times

Drowning

Not experiencing

 

My heart beats

I know I’ve been evil

But my truth keeps me alive

And your beauty makes me want to be alive

 

Your lips

Penetrated my armor suit

What am I to do?

If you let me in

If you let me in

I’m Getting Married

Who here wants to meet me in

Las Vegas

For a weekend

 

For the sole purpose

To get married in a drive-thru wedding chapel

 

In the name of art

 

Then burn the papers

And be ourselves again

Intricate Ear

Her Intricate Ear

Delicate with surrounding beauty

She would listen closely and lean inwards

But never dig or dive deeper

 

She wanted me to display my love with words

My actions were not enough

Chasing after a dream

My imagination is torn

 

Knives are dug and twisted

Stabbed, as always, after opening up

Cried with warm shoulders

And a soft heart now hurt

 

Sometimes you feel like going away

For a long long time

To slip into the darkness

And fall like burning stars

Into the minds of all of those who have forgot

 

Sometimes you feel like slipping

Underneath the love

And discover the truth of love

Or the truth which lies within yourself

 

She listens with her Intricate Ear

Peach fuzz Ill hug and embrace

Ill cherish forever

And never forget

 

Now the fallen autumn leaves

Crunch beneath my footsteps

The wonderful scent rises up

Forcing me back to dreamland

 

I dream of her Intricate Ear

The wonders inside that dwell

And come out on occasion

In a glance or smile or spoken word

 

My dream will only fall

When the new ones come out

And the fresh leaves of spring

Introduce new music to my heart

I’m Happy

Walking home

Late at night, just after midnight

I noticed a man urinating on the side of the road

Next to the dumpster

We made eye contact

And he apologized

That made me really happy.

I’m laughing at you

I’m laughing at you

As the clock ticks away

Timing going by

Traveling through the space that we bend

And soap up the experience

 

I’m laughing at you

Because you are blind

And dance alone on the parquet floor

Scented like a purple rose of earthly delight

 

I’m laughing at you

When the children play on the rusty swing set

On the park bench I wait

And you only pretend in the rain showers

 

I’m laughing at you

As you giggle in your sleep

And wake up to the sunrise of yesterday

And wonder if he had lied and if I was right

Imagine (My Heart)

I want you to imagine

Just for a moment

Imagine I’m taking out my heart

I’m pulling the pulsating muscle

Out through my breast bone

Out through my chest

I pull out my heart

And place it on the table beside me

 

I want you to imagine

My heart still beating

On the table it sits

With holes and gorges in it

And punctures and concave valleys

All these dents and bruises

For all those who pretended to display

 

I want you to imagine

My heart on this table

And I want you to imagine

What is in my hands

 

In my hands I hold destruction

I pour gasoline on my heart

And light the pulsing wonder to flames

I burn it to a crisp

Blackened and charcoaled

It still beats

 

Imagine with me

I take out a six-inch knife

And stab the still throbbing heart

Continuously over and over

I sever the heart multiple times

With liaisons spreading rapidly

It continues to beat

 

Still not complete

I take a .38 and aim

Shooting bullets through the heart

Through the wild beast that beats so rapidly

The heart still beats

 

I want you to imagine

I take that burnt, stabbed, shot

Heart

And I stretch open my chest

And carefully place it back

To its secret chamber

 

I want you to imagine

For only a moment

I remember

I remember watching the snowfall beneath the street lamp

While I hoped for the death of education at tomorrow’s first sunrise

 

I remember fucking the cocaine high mother

While her hubby with a stache jerked off while on-looking

 

I remember burning ants with a magnify glass as a kid

While hearing their pops and smelling their skin toast

 

I remember my big plastic green army machine gun

While playing army man at war in my treelined backyard

 

I remember the squirrel that chewed up electric lines

While I brought one as a gift in a bag for a friend

 

I remember the ones who said no

While I continue to kneel down and ask for forgiveness

 

I remember recording their conversations

While I masturbated to their smelly dates

 

I remember playing tic-tacs

While being psychic

 

I remember seeing the elder guy fuck the bonded one

While I on-looked the fat man’s praise

 

I remember Valentine’s and open air January

While winter came and gone

 

I remember pinning moths after the catch

While spreading their powder and glisten across my fingers

 

I remember watching peace

While nails came out of doors

 

I remember spray-painting ‘GASM’ on cement

While the stream sparkled and frogs leaped and croaked

 

I remember my big wheels

While skidding in the gravel dirt at the circle

 

I remember being pulled over by a trooper

While a semi-automatic was being fired just across my head

 

I remember writers taking cabs

While others talked dollars around round tables

 

I remember cows being tipped

While I told stories of lies

 

I remember my father in a limo

While dark race traveled through words of conduct on Broadway streets

 

 

I remember wet dreams in fantasy sheets

While urine tests proved nothing

 

I remember your face as you read my poetry

While I connected dots to satisfy your wet one

 

I remember your analyzation of my soul

While I take a bullet between my bitten teeth

 

I remember the love you have given

While I refused to listen

 

I remember the god in Florida

While I was a little kid who packaged large ones

 

I remember stealing plastic whores of fat drunken pigs

While skeptical apples knew of my existence

 

I remember falling in deep shit

While the shit didn’t even recognize my face

 

I remember your thoughts and feelings

While I write this damn mother fucker today

Insanity

It’s not their beauty

Or their curves

That drives me to insanity

 

It’s not the concave of the navel

Or the bends in their backs

 

It’s not the softness of their skin

Or scent of their soul

That makes me insane

 

It’s not their delight

Or kindness

 

It’s not their slenderness

Or intelligence

That brings me to the ward

 

It’s the way they are presented

Displayed

On a pedestal

 

It’s their clothes

Their makeup

Their garments

Their extras

Their beautifications

 

It’s their transparent white blouses

Their lace white bras

And tight red skirts

 

It’s their thong underwear

And hot red barbie lipstick

 

It’s their sistership

And innocence

 

Their leather pants

And latex too

 

It’s their

Corporate perfume

And

Designer’s gain

 

It’s their made-up high cheek bones

And gravity killed tits

 

That’s what makes

me insane

Interrupted Silence

I traveled through her canal

Under her sweet dirt

 

I listened to her words

Static came in-between

 

Separated us at birth

Interference melted me

 

Venom punctured my lips

My eyes rolled back into my scull

 

 

 

 

I listened strongly

Her words scattering on my lighted horizon

 

Pollution settled in

Advertised through copper wires

 

Ruined by Hollywood production

Past deep inside

 

 

 

 

Surveillance as I pullout

Spotlight on me

 

Her voice is gone now

I cry in my memories

 

 

 

 

My camera falls forward

I am unsettled

I Think I Love You

I think I love you

When I am willing

To penetrate

To end all wars

To meet your parents

To grow up in your arms

To taste your tears

To borrow your past

And bury your relatives

 

I think I love you

When I am afraid

To become a new born

To tear down your walls inside

To reach out and touch your heart

To climax forever

To enter a new realm

To climb a trail of heavenly love

 

I think I hate you

Now and forever

I will hate you until

The end of the world

The end of my time

The end of molestation

And Impregnation

The end of revolution

And juxtaposition

The end of my time

As a Necrophiliac

And as a Transsexual

As a Nymphomaniac

And as a Pyromaniac

As a Pathological Liar

And as your God

 

I am afraid

Of the dark

And your large cock

I am afraid

Of Love

To Love

To be Loved

 

I think I love you
