Are you also truly, undoubtedly, deeply in love with me?
Or is it all purely, shamefully one big ruse?
Are you and I ever going to call upon a truce?...

Crumpled to the ground once again
Overcome by life's despair
Like corpses we lie here
All broken like dolls
Painfully tossed
Shamefully
Ended
Dead

Once I whispered like a child
Cup-handed (gleefully)
But the cup is full of whiskey now
I fumbled (shamefully)
My head was filled with light
Your imagination: my symphony
My mind is cluttered now
My indignation: your sympathy...

Then, he’d looked quite impervious, 
Now, you can see: damned nervous
The present soon the previous,
Past triumph no more envious,
His change: shamefully obvious…

From ‘impervious’ to ‘nervous’
Journeys end in the grievous;
Like voyages perilous:
Satanic and mischievous....

Fearing a turn in the wrong direction
he stands still..
Frozen by his lack of confidence
he lost hope.

All directions
lead to failure.
All directions
are frightening.

Yet standing still
he is torn apart.
He wants to move
but defies himself.

Shamefully crying
he weeps alone....

Clawing out from humanity
No jigsaw fits my shape
Important portents
Shamefully misled
The tear from the stone that never bled
Phoenix trapped within a mirrored prism
watching every death
Resignation accepted
The stadium packed with the bodies
of warring thoughts
Goofy toothed roundabout
beckons forth my silken course
deny the empty source...

Here I am.
A somewhat shame.
I won't pretend, 
I'm not to blame.
I don't defend,
My selfish ways.
Its not a
Passing phase.

It is in fact a world gone black.
A train set loose without a track.
A point of never looking back.
An undenying fact.
 
A wasted pasted fallacy.
That is my own. The what is me.
So shamefully I have to be.
I am the Darkness Black....

out of habit, i
fingered the sand-colored bowl

after guests grappled
with paper plates

i, with Cabernet
dark eyes at dinner time

shame, shame
on me

my conscience
lowers my bowl into the sink
like a titanic lifeboat
wavering.

the solitary vessel
shamefully 
alone

meanwhile paper plates
press on
in the trash bin heap

Liberty is a woman, hard to be held.

To the fearful, timid man, her flesh seems cold.

It's hard for them to live, where no rules are spelled.

Her body yearns, for the just,  faithful and bold.

Killing her, they betray family and friends.

Marching shamefully with today's fleeting trends.

Oh Liberty! Liberty!  Where have you gone?

Patriots respect liberty with swords drawn....

Paradise no longer, forever expelled
                                  Between worlds in limbo shamefully held

                                     A span once to carry close to the sky
                                         Burn as I fell, mangled and dry

                             Impossible to compare the beauties I have seen
                                        My Lord, please let me redeem!...

>b>and this bizarre possibility
what does the future present to us?
we can break calendars,
I thought.
shedding skin like snakes,
we can shine dark
lighting up the chromosomes that we are.
we can create our avatars,
surpass ourselves,
become the effigies that will replace us
containing the courage we lost
when we shamefully weaken,
when we definitely walked away
of what we could become
when we accept to be
merely the humans we are...

You don't have to be blonde to play this game
shamefully displayed in acting so vain
Barbie and Ken sitting high on their pedastal
adventurous comments on lifes megaphone
meglomaniac's fallen star status
their image of worth has somehow entrapped us
sad sorry game of walking advertisement
their ruse is the same,only fodder amusement

Drum roll for the dumb role,as they slide down that pole
you don't have to be blonde,to carry on as a fool.........

anxious as hell
crazed and disoriented
horrified to the max
isolated, i must relax
neglected as usual
grieving like a fool

optimism is empty
hopefully i don’t come undone or become hallow inside

shamefully in distress
oh so hopeless, helpless

i need relief
no need for grief
saturated by woe
and
never
ever able to be whole…

aching oh so insane…
oh so insane…
so insane…
insane…
all misery is now down the drain…
refrain from giving me your rain…

PlEaSe…
Thx...
