Sagging skin
Water that’s left, leaves
Where, oh where do the trains go?
With stolen memories

Chocking
Swollen
Aching
Dieing…

Smudge of words, twisted ego
Mosquitoes blowing in from lake
Convulsion stings
Time folding, untouchable
I can’t find my heart
Can someone please
please help me?
Oh, God…(sobbing)

Shadows losing me
Burning gasoline
Inhaling toxic waste
black smoke surrounding

Inexistence winks
Speaking for itself
While your eyes speak somberly
“We need to talk”
Gulp

My mirror becomes vacant
Bleeding tomorrow’s despair
Heartbreak
Blood thirsty deficiency

A tear
Flows down
The cheek of us…
You say
“It isn’t you... (Long pause)
“It’s me”

I know, blatant self promotion very well thank you!
I know egotistical condescension
Diagnosis of resignation
Borrowing
No title worthy, pages glued to hypocrisy
Deception…
Self persecution
Self Pity
Disbelief

While being pulled into junk email...
Like a smile that never lived
A semi autobiography
Hitting my head
I’ve become the prey
Sweet unreasoning, scars that ooze
Terror fills this room…

I panic,
I want to run
but the fetal position
has just begun
.
.I slowly curl
.
.
I’m afraid

but let go...

Dear Poet Friends
Just wanted to give this a try again....I'm fine, I promise....thanks very much for stopping by to read and for your time...

You say
“It isn’t you... (Long pause)
“It’s me”
I have heard that before...more than once~~
you always give so much to think about when reading you

I would say, whatever darkness you were trying to explore, you illuminated with somewhat fetching shadows. & fetching shadows are the very essence of dark poetry don't you know.
