One–track minded Coasting the bends of home The swerving confines Where I rave unanswered Loose limbs Flail madly As I conceive in seclusion Mindlessly rambling Peace at last Swiftly dwindles Fed to the fringes To the feral longings That jet away from my lips Words meander Staggering out of my head Fuming of resent Of…

Currents pulsate And swell through my being As volts of insight Fuel my notions Swerving, from stanza to stanza The daily flicker Comes and goes In a weaving frenzy The bends through the mind Elated Risen, sure and primed My nerves all dance While coiling their bounty Reveries quiver In the thrash and flare As…

Let contempt skewer me From the inside out Pepper my sullen nerves With uncharted agony Let heinous words simmer And grow to boil My timid thoughts Swarmed Overrun Futile and frail I latch on, sternly And align With this ghostly scourge To thrash on mindlessly Among this mayhem of notions The peril I’ve sheltered This…

Slashed away By the frigid gust Brought forth in the thunder’s Flare and fury Fright endeavors To paralyze and conquer To deplete and drain The solace I keep Panic coils My honest young The truth-bearing seeds I’ve thoughtfully sown Pried with ease By a trying wisp A savage marauding Native only to my flesh
