---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----" Undertow"
My shadow has been shedding skin
Ive been thinking it smells again
Clear out my insides and follow through
I owe myself a new device to choose
The super nova of a velvet sun
My oh my it seems the darkness won
It's been stalking me with every step I take
I don't need to hear your whispers for every choice I make
There is no more hopeless, this is what it is
Ive been treading on that fault line now its sink or swim
Then take a deep breath and dive into the undertow
Hell you've followed me for so long its time to throw some blows
Up down ~ turning me inside out
Is hope just delightful thinking or something that wears me down
So please dear angels, will you pull me back in
Ive struggled enough inside this current
now its time to make hell my b*tch

In frenetic state, my abused soul,
Hearts frantic pace, cannot be slowed,
She causes me to lose control,
Most certain, system overload!
Love, dormant passion she ignites,
With eyes and soft word she incites,
Signals crossed and to her delight,
Me made to suffer sleepless night!
I dream awake and further slip,
Her lovely smile, the fuller lip,
They dampen efforts to restrict,
So parts malfunction; components, chip.
No emergency stop, no fail-safe,
No thing to distract or fill space,
None blessed as her with comely shape,
And none so gifted, hearts to break.
Now see how the whole system surges,
Heart a-flutter, primal urges,
This too intense, may short the circuits,
Love unrequited, bitter, worthless!
So I must look and find solution,
Troubleshoot for resolution,
Incompatible driver reinstall,
In need of system overhaul!
w.b. JS

Behind the beating shell
The pulse of life
The beating heart
The white exteria
The white hardend shell
Strong but fragile
Easliy broke
The beating pluse that drive the heart
Pulse the vains
The rivers of blood
The yellowed narrowed vains
The arteries clogged
Now fragile
The white beating heart
The flow ends
The rivers slow
To the end
The beating heart stops
Lifless gone
Now the heart givers its last breath
Stop
The heart is dead

She dances in the ring of fire
Of hidden lust jealousy and want
Like a fallen angel trapped in the shadow
Of what you expect yearn for and desire
Forever trapped in ever burning flames
Love she craves in her endless dance
Her beauty was created by your lost love
Her beauty belongs not to this world
She dances in the depths of your soul
She is the one you long for most of all
And you will do whatever it takes
Even if it means going to the pits of hell
Just to be with her to follow her dance
If only you knew...her name is death.

---- IMAGE REMOVED because photobucket.com no longer allows embedded images ----
Toys scattered over the play ground, lost
Taunts cries lingering as if in a stance
All gone, but one left with darkened feelings
Holding onto life's gift of second chance
Searching deeply for strength to continue
Gathering power to hold close to thee
No need for mirrors every step engraved
No one knows me better than I know me
Releasing visions of what I would like
Freeing destiny to be as it should
Paining myself by allowing it so
Letting go of what one knows is not good
Torn but still completely whole my soul bare
Some weights in life one must carry not share

at least
we have the full cycle complete
where weaving through
in between
defines all the struggles
that bounded our journey
the ups and downs
the sun's heat
and the mist's damps
we knew exactly where
it separated
when summer ended
and winter began
right here within our hearts
in our spirits and in our minds
we cuddled and shared our pains
our joys and sufferings
we both flipped
the same pages of our times
unwritten in the blank sheets
of our book aching to be filled
with all our hopes
desires and ambitions
but as you gazed at the window
I just knew, our fate was sealed
when the falling rain drowned
all my relenting angers
and I was silenced
not from the wind
but by your indifference
I tried to reach you
deep down
pulled you out many a times
but once buried, and sealed
can't be saved or redeemed-
you resigned, I just sensed
the end just began
tried to beat
the living hell
out of you
just to quell the evils
and the dark spells
but none I could do
to brake that hell
you are doomed
and wanted it so
because in this world
and this life you said:
wasn't meant for you
nor will it ever be....
I walked away
because I knew,
you were a living dead
and so was I.

Are we like candles
flames are our dreams
like the sound of a lit match
dipped in water
perhaps that is love...
Diseased with love
disconsolate with shades of bile
the dream of death in daylight
shoveling to survive
I said, "I love you"
you said, "I love you too"
it was nausea
then we wandered into different rooms..
You were the pale blue sky
milking the moonless night
I was the crow virus
fettered by rain...
Pure genetic providence
intellectual procedure
amalgamation of predisposed chromosomes
thrown into existence
with the ambiguity of Kierkegaard...
Some call it happily ever after...

I am the fool,
and so life is a long, arduous journey.
The left, more difficult road I choose.
No one leads me here, I am proud and alone,
and now, here in this place of desolation
a cloud of doubt and indecision covers me,
smothers me and yet it comforts me like home.
My familiar, unyielding ghetto of fear and nothingness
beckons me, welcomes me, but I have stayed too long
and I can no longer escape this sanctum of misery
and malcontent that surrounds me, diminishing my
very life, the basest of lives, for I live a life beneath
contempt, yet undeterred I walk this difficult path and
live this pitiful life knowing there was much more
destined for me had I but chosen the right,
I am the the fool.

lying back
in deep thought
twisted hurt inside
screwing with
the thoughts
in a toxic world
just popping
into a lunar
moon space
in my mind
floating around
sweetly smiling
i am
a passionate lover
yet i hide
myself away
from the world
laughing loving
so deeply
inside the heart
lost everything
i believed in
golden feelings shine
from the house
of treasures
straight into
the very heart
but i sill believe
in you love
as hate
it puts
the gun upon
the table
with fully
loaded chambers
safety off
finger upon
the trigger
my last poem
i am smiling
without love
i blow my
brains out
squeezing the trigger
slowly click
bang
