descend

Change for me, i see it calling in your eyes.
dont let me go.
allow this trepidation to emerge.
so full of life, within our beautiful resistance to the world.
cup our hate for eachother and crawl through quicksand till you reach this compression.
concede me to rip your soul apart and purge.
I yearn for this sweet gravity youve decided on.
jolt me to descend.
knives and sticks.
kill my son.
darkness and ample dreams on end
avow me to descend.

looking down, i want to expire the sun.
floating up, i yearn to choke on your scent.

God Invented Dirt!


God invented dirt,
man invented soap.
See the difference?
God invented valleys and grass,
man invented cities.
Man invented religion,
God invented church.
There are no similarities.
God invented a simple organic rock
called "the moon,"
or "Luna" as it were.
The beauty of this rock is its sole purpose -
to reflect sunlight from
the other side of the world.
Man,
on the other hand
invented the lightbulb.
Perhaps night time truly is
for sleep.
God invented water -
chemically pure.

The Horses Glory

           Look back at our struggle for freedom,

         Trace our present day’s strength to it’s sourse;

            And you’ll find that man’s pathway to glory

         Is strewn with the bones of the horse.

Confused?

Caught me standing in the dark again. Eyes burned when I turned the lights on. Kinda like the time I burned me with the car lighter. I asked me a question but I wasn’t really listening. I got mad and slammed the door in my face. Standing there like a statue wondering what just happened.

Four Puppies

 Four Puppies

---------

For this relief much thanks;
[it's] bitter cold
And I am sick at heart
                           ---Shakespeare
---------

Once upon a wondrous time

Amid an olden while sublime

 

On Grandpa’s farm,

I was but four

 

When Uncle Dave,

At heart rebellious knave,

 

A natural mutineer

Quite apt to charm,

Voices from nowhere

Night has fallen, I hear you calling, Where might you be?   Are you here? Are you there? Are you anywhere? Please answer me.   The wind speaks     And Your not with me.   Minds erased, Non embraced, Do you see me?   The stars have spoken,  Figurines, What do they say? What do they mean?   I do not bleed, Nor do I hurt, Behind the door, A crumbled earth.   Night has fallen, I hear you calling, Where might it be?   Dominique Jorgensen

village incident

it was open  No ancient walls protected it from invading forces

just the yellow bulbs of the village streetlamps

sporadic and burning at night where the kids had yet to

knock out the glass with a chosen stone

 

old cars sat heaped up on blocks or jacks

or sat settling on their axles where wild grasses

and weeds did their best to absorb them into the

no mans land between goverment housing

 

dusty picks ups and cars cruised the gravel

roadway and kids on faded bicycles pedalled by

My input

This girl sits at her desk. She sits with a feeling of rejection a feeling of sadness. She has no one to talk to, no one to confide in. All this little girl has is paper and a pen. She writes day after day night after night. For her this is the only way, she throws a book in the closet and pulls out another one. She grows up cherishing these books, for you see these books, that paper and the pen, they were her only friends. Someone decides to read them one day and stops after reading the first page. A tear drop slides down his face from the pain she put all on just one page.

The Fourth Floor

The same nightmare

Night after night

Someone's sent me away

I’m all alone

In a padded room

My arms strapped behind my back

The light flickers in and out

Barely able to hold my eyes open

Feeling the drugs take effect

Scared of the dark

The monsters will get me

Feeling nothing once my eyes are shut

Not able to move

Violated in unspeakable ways

I’ve been there once before

All because of sadistic thoughts

They locked me  away

All alone
