Lost

Painted
smiles
masked
emptiness
Crippling
mesmerizing
debilitating
loneliness

Pain

Tears
unable,
cries
lulling,
sleepiness
Eyes
closed
vision
hollow
dreamless

Lost

Flashing Red Neon

Cool blue mesh,

white powder high

flashing red neon

sizzling

hot summer night

junkie whore sprawled

across a torn mattress

wet satin slip

peeling from her skin

track marks decorate

rail thin arms

crushed beer cans

spilled to the floor

empty jack bottle

resting on its side

cigarette dangling

from my lip

flashing red neon

humming

flashing red neon

crackling

flashing red neon

illuminating

my face in the mirror

I need a shave

Seduction

Dark strands wispily floating
Dancing to the wind’s rhythm
Gracefully composed curves
Segue long strides
Hips coyly swaying –
Sweet rhapsody
Lulling to a dream
Each movement,
Each breath,
Melodically enchanting
Intoxicating
Enticed

A Story To Tell

We all have

a story to tell

mine’s a long

version through hell

scattering around

mindless drones

victims to

soul less clones

liquid courage

through my veins

scratchin the monkey

loosens the pain

dirty tracks tell no tale

workin the corner

too wasted – to close the sale

sunk to despair

too damn tired to care
