The creeping danger of all things
Eager and foamy with red lips
Congregating between the auburn brows
Meticulously sketched up on my forehead

Closer to me seems the crumbling cliff
Sending it's stones heavily into the drink
I become uncertain of a sure thing
That today, old gravity will surely fail me.

My wings are clipped, my beak is broken
These vicious talons are all I have left.
I am an eager lizard kicking at the gravel
My clumsy scales quiver at the Sun

Shame becomes a ill companion
Coughing and beckoning to be groomed
Flipping through dusty crackling pages
In a memory book called Regret

One day I may savagely rule this world
But today, I am afraid.

Thinking Out Loud

"Oh shit...."

I said to myself

as light from cars passing outside

danced across the office wall,

"...she's turning 27 this year..."

a quick personal pause

"..that's so....fucked!"

laughter burst out of me.

Fact and Fantasy

I hate to see you go

but it's better that the hold

you had on me is loose

before the scenes of losing teeth

grip onto my dreams

It is not strange for me

to think of you with other men

In fact, it is a fantasy

that you are wed and happily

married.

Honest

Honestly It's a bad time

maybe you understand

I've been walking in the rain

I've been smoking again

I've been reaching out to you

with my invisible hand

grasping at superstition

pulling out whats real

Every dream takes time

It's better if you're fast asleep

I don't know, I don't mind

Falling in deep

You like to think you're like me

You like to think you know

I don't really know about that

honestly, I don't

Nemesis

You gave me a warning
and ruined my ruined day
You can't say you're sorry
and I can't contain myself

Me and my buddies
are taking a trip across town
We're dressed in all black
marching up to your door

The sound of singing
ringing through the halls and the walls
afflicts me like poison
Rushing into my viens

I could turn back
but the door swings wide open
I can't turn back
the window is closing

To whom do I owe
this awful introduction?
I am aghast
at a too soon insult

Your back always turned
Offered us a seat on the floor
Hidden behind the framed glass
Actually, you didn't get my name

I'll sit where I want
Me and my friends
share the psuedonym
And I'm in your house

This is a bad idea
Can you see it my eyes?
All the trouble of my life
Has brought me here tonight

Chilling at my place,
in the comfort of my room.
I hear the sirens starting up
gunshots shook my afternoon.
OPD is swarming
calling out for assistance
someones boy is laying in the street
he needs that ambulance.
