Poetry Prompt Response
What has happened to inspiration?
It left me, locked behind your eyes.
Why does every touch lack sensation?
Your departure caused my nerves to die.
Where can my frailties hide?
No longer under your patchwork of lies.
When will I end emotional recession?
When I know why you had to leave.
How can I kick this suffocating depression?
Maybe after you extend an apology.

“Fearlessness in those without power is maddening to those who have it.”
– Tobias Wolff (Everyone should watch the movie about his early years called “This Boy’s Life”— it is an amazing movie and I think it is where my dad learned his parenting skills.)

Cone Cells
Sunshine plays at the delicate
edges of red rosebud petals,
and light dances on countless
ripples in aquamarine lakes.
Blue eyes of an infant- so innocent-
shine like clear wading pools,
while rolling green hills stand with
composure that will not shake.
Still, my corrupted human mind
acknowledges no such beauty,
as black and white will remain
the only colors seen by me.
I have limited...

The pills don't help...
To eradicate
toxins from my poison mind,
I must forget you.
ties for lies
consensuous:
sperm donation does not a dad make and
i won’t wait for father’s day to tell you so
there’ll be no gifts from your worst mistake
just a bitter farewell as i watch you go.

"Time" haiku pairing
Leaves will fall and
flowers grow pretty and tall
as time passes by.
Time has the power
to change much; but it will
never make you mine.

I know now that Beauty is the hand-puppet of Deception,
with the premise that one’s soul matches their reflection.

Loneliness my friend

The umbra of insanity
clings to my innermost being.
Adaption has become obsolete,
I must learn a new technique.
Lucidity continues to abate
and food refuses to satiate.
My orison will remain unheard
as musings become more absurd.
How terribly awful it is, I find,
to lose my presence of mind.

Thoughts
These dark thoughts running rampant in my psyche
call out like old friends across a torrential sea.
Calming thoughts weakly attempt to erase what I did
telling me I deserve to live a life, joyous and placid.
Loving thoughts remind me of being all alone,
suggest I would never have made it on my own.
Auditory thoughts of voices I don’t recognize,
alert me to the demons dwelling deep...
