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 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
