Spider Webs

Spider web
Ghostly threads
Caught my heart
My soul is bled
Glowing eyes
Wrap me tight
Shuts out the light
For breath I fight
Velvet voice
Laughs at me
I don’t want to hear
I cannot flee
Spider web
With dew drops glow
Luminescent threads
Feel so cold
Glowing eyes
Gaze at me
I don’t want to see
The sea of green
Velvet voice
Whispering
In my dreams
I am whimpering
For the spider web
Has captured me
Lulling me softly
into nothing but
Spider webs
Ghostly threads
Caught in nightmares
Of
Spider webs

Inspired by The Cure’s Lullaby and Depression

Cryings Wicked

Green and yellow

Eyes of sorrow

Matted lashes

Hair of ashes

Red and swollen

Lips are bitten

Blood escapes

A nervous habit

Note of music

Cryings wicked

Howling teardrops

She is dropping

Green and yellow

Eyes of sorrow

Close forever.

Thinking of you RIP R.A.

Never what I wanted

My semicolon ring

Is my badge of honor

Just a tribute to multiple failures

As they say

You’re here for a reason.

Insomnia

Insomnia

Wicked headache
Bitter cold room
Razor-blade breath
Disembodied footsteps
Above my head
Pillows on the floor
Blankets askew
Rocking, rocking
Sleep unattainable.

November PTSD

November PTSD

I have to admit it is a bleak evening
My brain is fuzzy
As well as my hands.
Clyde and cotton candy
Keep breaking into my thoughts
It was bound to happen
The November nightmares
And arctic winters
Of the past two years
Are Clyde’s creation
A natural PTSD
Haunting.
