SessionsRegret has found me knocking at its door again. Shame answered immediately as if it had been waiting for its old friend. Opening its door where the comfy couch is that I turn my thoughts over in exchange for inner peace and solace. There is a spot molded to my body where I take...

When help is not enoughhe's a seriously troubled soul
dwelling on regrets
they're eating him alive
things he can't forgive
hurts he can't get past
dreams he left afloat
cobwebs in his mind
his rambling thoughts
will drive him off the cliff
and sink him to despair
it's bordering insanity
i see him surely drowning
and there's nothing i can do
if he won't grab the buoy...

False Spiritualities
False Spiritualities
Our age is full of spiritual criminals
“I teach you!” I will show you the way!”
Yes, they will help. Of course. For money
People want to find the way. The way out
Why? People are fearing. Hmm. Future
Yes. But maybe too late, the gate is closed
Then came the help! The spiritual teachers!
“I teach you practices, knowing, meditations!”
They...

Low Earth OrbitNot quite on hold
but holding on for sure
Cyclical unfolding
that we both endure
Over the horizon
uncertainty at best
Each day a fresh arising
by which we are blessed
Orbiting ever lower
‘gainst gravity’s harsh pull
Only tugs the mortal coil;

There's No Fuel Like an Old FuelShe took a stroll one moonlit night
in search of lumps of anthracite.
She knew that coal could soothe her soul:
one moonlit night, she took a stroll.
Insomniac, anaplasty
coal soothed her soul: but she knew she
would need, to get her nostrils back,
anaplasty. Insomniac,
obsessed with smoking magic weed,
to get her nostrils back, she’d need
a plastic surgeon – but the...

Marks of a survivorEach scar has a name, etched into my skin—
White lines barely visible on my pale arms.
There’s one for every heartbreak I ever got,
One for each battle I silently fought,
One for all the wrongdoings I had,
For every time my thoughts turned bad.
Each scar holds a memory, a ghost from the past,
Every cut done silently, hidden away...

HIV: The Capitalist VirusThey said you came from chimpanzees—
That deep in some African jungle
You leapt across species,
A silent hunter cloaked in blood.
But we have lived with chimpanzees
For tens of thousands of years.
We shared forests,
We shared meat,
We shared mythologies.
Why now?
They claim you're a natural disease—
But if that were true,
Why does nature not offer a cure?
Polio fell. Smallpox vanished.
Yet you—since...

Death to Life in HimDeath is to be my great enemy
For in living I am to be
The friend of life, and put to death
That force that longs to steal my breath—
Away! — away that hallowed hollow grave
My ally, the stone that bears my name
The one, oh would that I could fill
That hole, that bowl of earth
To swallow me down...

Voices in the VoidWithout my pen, the pain becomes my voice.
The cruelty of others, the hardness of their hearts,
Linger in this place of cult,
Where public shaming is currency.
I scream for help, face to face,
Yet they cast me deeper into despair.
Tears bleed red, patience drains,
My heart trembles, a silent echo in the vast universe.
My eyes never dry, my body...

The forgotten killerHopelessness
When your body and mind are disconnected
When your falling in a sea of darkness and accept it
When the silence is loud you can hear your heartbeat
It's the feeling of a deep pit
In your stomach
All the contents of your stomach being Consumed by it
Replaced by the feeling of sickness
Leaving a...

To my MasterTo my Master
Master, there is only one
You are my brain control
I am following you. Path
Your life is mine. Bright
Your bright life is my dark
This is my side. Darkness.
I am acting, creating for you
(“You are protected.”
Against Foggy Psychology?
“Sure.”
Thank you, my Master!)

a love poem to my recoveryno i wouldn't die for you.
i wouldn't,
and i'm not sorry.
i spent too long hiding in the shadows,
waiting
lurking
wanting
and hoping
that they'd see that I would have.
in an instant,
i would have.
a bullet, a train, a grenade, a pile of pills.
i would've taken any of them
for anyone.
but instead,
life shot me with an arrow.
life gave me you.

The Pillow
Empty words, empty souls , a pillow, a savior,
Like sweet flavor, an anchor much braver,
There to save you..
And what for?
To keep you from sinking deeper
From the images that make them think you're a creeper
A vision of the reaper, a version much cheaper
The scary monster, a creature, the biggest traitor,
Who is there to save you?
Hunting memories,...
