"Shame"

I'm melting with madness
Searching for explanation
Validation is obsolete
Some sacrificial offering
I've wasted words
And sought after reason
I will not feel shame
Where shame should be
I evaluate
And verify
Truth and fiction
My fault
Is honesty
How can that be faulty?
For fear and misleading
Makes me the coward
You the victim
Have you been victimized
Denied
Cast aside
Far be it for me
To hide behind
A stone cold heart
For that is shameful
Your reality
Is written
As is mine
So from one starved
To the other
Find reverence in these words
And let remorse be

"My Metamorphoses"

In times like these
I curse my own words
And wish to draw blood
And let the venom paint pictures
For explanations seem
Useless
Denial is the thickest poison
And rather tainted
I'm head strong
Yet truth
Reveals
Heartache
The responsibility mine
So it seems
The muse is you
With, what I am sure will be
Reluctance
I bide my time
Questioning
What's real
What's not
All the while
You sit
Deceived
While deception
Is me

Sferracavalo, Palermo, Sicilia

Seaside
Wind blown
The smell of salt in the air
My skin bronzed
My heart full
Soul searching
And strong
The world moves
Gravity finds me
Satisfied
My senses
Heightened
Alive and on fire
Euphoria is mine
My surroundings
Stimulate
My need to be
Cultured
And Baptised
By this world
And all it has hidden
To be found
Revealed
And living
I venture on
Knowing
The unknown
Will find me

"Long Last, Farewell, Mornin' Beautiful"

Bread and butter illusions
Loved one's grown up
Moved on
I laugh inspite of myself
Strangers caught in the crossfire
Of words stated
Yet rather ignored
An endless pape trail
Tells the story
Of a love that leads
Nowhere
But a single handed affection
Mine to you
And you for you
Leaving me
Empty handed
So sad it seems
To waste such a disease
But life
Is unpredictable
And what was
Will always be there
And then
But now
I must turn my back
You'll always be in me
Like some of them before you
Something to recall
Something to remember
But the hold you had
On my tepid heart
My brave soul
Well
Your grip wekened
And it's sad to say
I slipped away
May the memories we carry on
Be one's worth keeping
You're love lead me
To me
Through good and bad
Laughter and numbness
Sincerity and selfishness
The traces of me
Will slowly discipate
What's done is done
Farewell my Precious
Our Love may be lost
But know
Never forgotten

"Assuming The Worst"

All is left to uncertainty
Time is left behind
Knowing noting
Wanting more
Your sights
Suspended
No choice
But to be content
With indecision
The mystery
Not yet revealed
You'r left fragile
Unaware
Undefined
Questioning
The complexity that exists
To question Love
A venture one must not do
My past
Is the playing card
You rely on
No turning point
Truce
Revelation
Or truth
Will give you what you need
My distant heart
Is your one dependency
That in which
I cannot provide
I sought out answers
Only to reveal
What once was mine
And now
Aimless
And on my own
I can't help but revel
In actions
Or the lack there of
All the words unsaid
I sit back
And build my truth
Upon your shy response
I question what yo once made me believe
You certainty
Now gone?
My heart
Loses hope
Yet I keep fighting
Enduring the emptines of you

Firenze at sunset

Just beyond the breaking point
Where day and night kiss goodbye
Light squeezes it's last life's breath
And leaves all to be revealed
