Poem. its been a long time
p { margin-bottom: 0.08in; }
I Am
I am Porphyria’s lover
I commissioned the last duchess,
Mutilated Mary Kelly
The horror in the heart of darkness
I am the serpent in the tree,
The one who seduced Eve,
Flew Flight 11
And drank the blood of the black sheep
I am the Kraken roaring forth
From the depths of the sea
I spread human debris
Amongst Lockerbie
Assasinated Kennedy
And...

new poem, new style
Retrograde Romance
She looks beautiful
In her blue jacket
Bangs framing the pretty face
Reminiscent of a movie star
Pressing close
Touching lightly
Than running finger tips
Across her legs
Leaning close
Faces brushing to talk over the band
Moment building
The catalyst
A jealous bitch
And a flower gift
The same cream complexion
As her perfect smooth skin
That leads to the first...

The Run Up
I should run up in your house
Show you what family’s about
Scream all day
Hoarse voice from the shout
Can’t recognize it then
When the deadbolt pops
And I ask you to drop
Ski masks and ball bats
Not here to kill
Just to show what happens
If you fuck with me and steal
You’ll get fucked with steel
Strap on your head you’ll feel
Pistol whipped
Front teeth chipped
Cell...
it's been a while
sorry it’s been so long…i’ve been writing other things, from sports stories to CD reviews for my school paper at Fredonia State and, most fun, a few comic book scripts. but here’s comething
Stolen
He sees men at night
Stealing his money, toys and love
Shit I don’t see
When I’m rolling on drugs
Nurses attempt to kill him
His wife is cheating
The cold world chills...

A god on the mic
in honor of Rakim’s new solo album, a couple cuts
Peace God
It’s been a long time
I shouldn’t of left you
Without a strong line
To wreck you
Think of how many cold nights you slept through
Time’s up
I’m sorry I kept you
Fiending for this
Pure cocaine bliss
No cut
No filler
No preemie condom shit
No arm and hammer
Or benzo for sale
Just pure fishscale
White as hell
The Ghost ain’t no joke
I move the crowd so well
Peace god to...
Painted Black
This close to the institution
Did anyone else see that?
Wait a lifetime for retribution
Did anyone else hear that?
Speak and shoot free like the constitution
I want it painted black
Take that house on Dryden
And turn it into a trap
Replace the good memories inside it
With violence, bullets, blood and sex
Every nice thing I said about you
I take it all back
And I will...

Wrought Iron Railing
Creep down the stairs
Look over the wrought iron railing
Fish tank gurgles and glows
The sound of the wind wailing
As it blows past the house
Moves trees about
Welcome upstate
Where it’s always nasty out
And the weather changes
As much as my mood
The fury that was born
In the house where the fish tank broods
Will show its face to you
Unstable emotions
Will...
Dominos
Thick wet sound
As scarlet seeps on the ground
A scuttling crawling puddle
Forming a halo around
Somebody who got up
And had to be laid down
Like dominos on a table
Cuban men gather around

Double Shot...barrels, not bottles
shot 1
In 100 Years
In 100 years
When they read the Ghost
Will they see poetry
Music
Or both?
Or will they see none?
Nothing worthy to quote
Simply the scrambled scribblings
Of history’s longest suicide note
-Ghost Writer
shot 2
Endless Orange Bottle
I wish I had an endless orange bottle
Of little life savers
When times are tough
I pop them like party favors
Pain killers for the killer
Fly higher than the angels

For Dave
Relationship Cyanide
Don’t introduce me to women
I’m relationship cyanide
Kill any connection
Relation formaldehyde
Want to murder a romance?
Introduce me to it
Judge, jury, executioner
And the embalming fluid

space time
John Glenn
Neil Armstrong
High as Gemini
T-minus 10
I’m Apollo 13
Failure not an option
In orbit from Ohio
Motherfucker I’m John Glenn
And where I go
No other men have been

Training Day
Syrup and space like Houston
My mind playin tricks on me
Bipolar
Like a bipartisan political party
And I run this motherfucker
Like Alonzo in Training Day
But I don’t get air conditioned
More likely I’m chopping the AK
And now I’m chopping the body
Trash bags and lye
I never use the bathtub
Didn’t you ever wonder why?
In my nightmares I look down the drain
See some poor guy
Or the...

Mariah Carey
Wrong day
Rub me the wrong way
If I had it my way
Make your chest whistle like a train
Manic depressive
I flip all day
Got more up and downs
Than Mariah Carey’s range
Caught me at a bad time
Stick it to you like ticky tack
A Y-City state of mind
Block away from the donk Cadillac
And it’s not my house
But it is my soul
Maybe Mariah can sing
At the funeral

Fuck your sub
Yellow Submarine
No one lives
I sink yellow submarines
When you trip dissociatives
You don’t see such things
No whimsical colors
Just haunting mind screams
Not rainbow
But black
Distorted scenes
No crowded scenes
No expansive dreams
Just turning inward
High enough it seems
To polish the silver lining
On white clouds in space
The word seen through rubies
In black, silver, and gray

this poem is supposed to be spaced to flow better but fuckin tumblr changes my shit..oh well
Appendage Crack Habit
Whipping blazed
High as shit
Headlights and radio
Blaring high beams and Jadakiss
Then I get too high
The brain disconnects
Hands go numb
Appendage crack habit

i love butterflies
Click
Click
Slip
Filipino grip
Slide out
Flip
Clack
The balisong comes back
Blood in and blood out
When butterflies attack

5 a.m. Philly
5 a.m. North Philly roof
Watching the sun rise
Over Center City
Through bloodshot eyes
The smoke curls so pretty
Out of mouth
Up through my nose
Then back out
Into the atmosphere
We feel good here
No sirens or gunshots
The roof sky is clear

the king is dead
The Day the King Died
Smoking in North Philly
Dreamin of money with no digital
What hope is there for me?
If they caught the smooth criminal
A wind blows
From a Philadelphia field
Overgrown foundation
Where a building once was a shield
For the one way alley
We were sitting on
Car windows rolled down
Center City’s lights beyond
On the day the King died
The radio stations cried
And “I Want You...
lil somethin
Dip Induced Dream
Diphenhydramine
Induced dream
Listening to White Room by Cream
Staring at a ream
Of blank pages that seem
To cry out for the scaring
Only sharp words can bring
And I’m out of knives baring
A manic episode
So my words can flow
Like the page’s fluids
As I carve them cold as snow
Pink two tones hit slow
Then lay me down low
Mix with the Celexa
And the dreams start to show
On a...

Citalopram Science Fiction
Citalopram science fiction
Horror plot
Channeling Ripley
Believe it or not
Emergency lights
Smoke and oil
Bloodstained bulkheads
Female corpse
In a placental sack
Above my bed
Not truly dead
As she opens her eyes
We run farther down the hall
With no safety in sight
A star on the event horizon
Sends a shaft of light
Through safety glass windows
Illuminating perpetual...
Side View Mirror
I always look best
In my side view mirror
Caution:
Things may be more attractive than they appear
I love the Night Shark
We wear the same sneer
The difference is how smooth
The Shark switches gears
I change hard
Emotions with no clutch
Mind split in half
Going Dutch
But you’re the only one who pays
When I pop the clutch
And loosen my clutch
No suicide doors
That’s fuckin bad...
Caine
I’m able with the caine
Any kind you know
Benzo
To novo
All the way up to yeyo
With her lips numb
It was hard for your girl to blow
But I gave her that blow
Little angel needed snow
She bumps a rail slow
Long line the length of the CD cover
Pay more for the pure
No preemie condom ingredient cutter
Pink Floyd for sure
I’m comfortably numb
If you wanna get down
Listen to that Clapton...
Prussian Parthenon
Sitting at the center of the universe
Under the Prussian Parthenon
My voice echoes off the dome
But it’s the only one
The music played slow
By DJ Screw in heaven
It gets pulled backwards and forwards
By our black hole perception
Food sits forever
On a never clean plate
Check your watch
Or a clock
We can never be late
Because time doesn’t exist
Under the...
shout out to a legend...Compton in the house!
Eazy-E
I rhyme tight
Like Eazy-E
Call me Eric White
Cause I’m lighter than he
Not from Compton
No Jheri curl
But I’m down with the 8 Ball
Not the malt liquor
The one that fucks with your jaw
We should see what he saw
Behind shades
Under a black hat
Ren, Yella, Dr. Dre
And Ice Cube couldn’t stop that
And maybe you don’t agree
With fuck the police
But he rhymed dirty and simple
Just like...

Caught Them Outside
Caught them outside
Fucking with my ride
So the butterfly flips
And the blood flies
Little tough guy
You can call me A.I.
Ice blue eyes
Dulled by SSRI’s
And the chalk blows nice
But I avoid that ice
I didn’t come from trailers
I came from coal mines
Bump hard like Alpines
That thump on Dryden
In the city with the Y
That starts with a Z
And ends with an X
Over your eyes
Like...
North Philly
North Philly Out The Window
Wake up on the hardwood floor
North Philly out the window
Girard never sleeps
But its heart beat slows
Always someone on the street
In the house of the Lord’s shadow
Empty shell fiend’s feet
Pound the corner concrete
Looking for change
Maybe a lick that’s sweet
As a Swisher
Sell perfume to a wisher
Wishing on a star she can’t see
For some kind of issue
To be...
GO AWAY BITCH!
Cunt
You goddamn cunt bitch
Fuckin get out
Next time you wanna cut yourself
I hope you bleed out
Get more than attention
Get an ambulance
Do me a favor
Leave this residence
Take a new job
Suckin the devil’s dick
So I can’t hear you crying
Down there in the pit
Where you deserve to be
For betraying me
The only person who cared
But you couldn’t see
And you couldn’t hear
And now you can’t...
