Exhaustion dictating

 Exhaustion was a version of me
Talking back to me when I yelled silence
It imposed it's voices that things weren't right
But in fact without exhaustion life was good

My echolalic mind was obsessed
Repeated questions of heavenly futures
Made my present a weary, drained hell
and the acid dissolves me up nightly

Corrosive spittle shoots out the tail
As the motor runs out of breath
We are coming to an intersection
I'll fly right through not to stall

Park the rusted out jalopy in lot level B
Close the windows, breathe in slow
Clear the tabs of excess clutter
Initiate operation shut down mode

The three heads of the hellhound

He barks and paws, he chops with big jaws . Shadow who waits, right at front gates. Ferocious sharp claws, at hell's front door. Three fearsome heads; dusk, day, and morn. Hovering over smouldering iron bars of rust. That dog makes the ego cower in dread. Shadows quiver the vibrations of the dead. Humility fears not of Hades familiar. Arrogance leaches across crooked burnt earth. Humblest man, he'll greet as a friend. Losing his hubris in debris written as his end.

Everything, anything but simple

Darling, you are everything, anything but simple Harness your internal flame, that bounce, convert Transform lusty combustion to forward motion  Push, work in tandem and reject the inert How will I do all that, I'm complicated at my best The flame is oh so illusive, it jumps, inverts How will I streamline a rusty old engine From the side of me weird, dark, perverse Corroded shell rusted out but inner self oiled Grease up the pistons, sink inside, and feel Take what's bizarre, crank rotational work of the keys Expose, let me consume your wicked, fervent zeal If I let you consume this part of me What will it mean to you, will it excite, inspire, renew? Are you asking me to give it up for free? Am I run of the mill or within the precious few? My price, it's this, you'll carry me and I'll carry you Each part revealed, brings such joy, glee Inspires healing myself, to support you the same Exceptional, quite extraordinary to me
