Narcissus V Phoenix
Narcissus creatures surround me.
Vultures, pecking at my serenity.
Testing my resolve.
Threatening to consume me.
Daring me to break free,
from a doomed mentality.
Do I close my eyes to injustice
permeating our atmosphere,
like The Great Smog?
No.
I spread my Phoenix wings.
Rise above the toxic darkness.
Bring forth healing light.
Spread peace, kindness, love.
Never give up ...

Consumed
“No mere human cannot stand in a fire and not be consumed.” ~ Christabel LaMotte
Consume the news,

Consume potions, from drugs to Netflix,
get lost in the Matrix.
Consume pornography,
french-kiss misogyny.
Consume social media,
group-think Expedia, personal-connection anemia.
Consume nature,
become one with the savior.

The price of discipline
is faith.
The price of faith,
is fear.
Everything has a price.
What is the cost,
of the life you seek?
Are you willing ...

Pain
I enjoy bringing tough guys and gals to their knees.
I can make everyone in my path cry like babies.
You think you can stop me with drugs or alcohol?
That’s a fool’s game.
It will drive you insane.
Your candy doesn’t keep me away
anymore than a cross stops suffering.
The only escape is to free me
from the one place you fear to go.
I reside deep within your mind.
I...

Betrayed
While the world
goes about their day
talking about trival things,
laughing their troubles away,
I am struck with
paralyzing pain
that I try to contain.
Everyone close to me
is oblivious
to my suffering.
Why should they care?
They have their own
drama to deal with.
There is nothing
anyone can do anyway.
Meanwhile, my body
betrays me more
each passing day.
I want t...
