Why do we ask what we already know? Why is forbidden fruit always placed out front? So easily obtainable for we deficients suffering from physical and spiritual malnutrition The historical curse of the human condition Temptation... Too easily obtainable with barbed strings attached that carry the potential to extinguish us wayward sinners
Whatever pops in my frazzled head goes up on this wall,,, Not always pretty, but I always strive to be a little interesting and thought provoking For more of me in less than 140 characters sample me on Twitter at @WORD_MASSAGER

Pitter Splatter
There goes
my heart againRolling down
the front steps
and into the indifferent street
Just another human tragedy
littering the crimson city
I wander aimlessly
through the boulevard
of lost souls
beneath the
flickering street lamps
Plunge into the excess
of useless regret
Anything to forget
her toxic existence
Damage control
always requires time
These wounds will heal
The blood will congeal
Only then
can I proceed
to my next relationship

All Me
As the years accumulate
and gently rain down on me
my mind has slowed
to such an extent
that I have landed
in a place
of contentment
My universe has slowed
to a glorious crawl
I am not stressing anymore
about shit beyond my control
Happiness is this acceptance
But in the back of my mind
buried beneath the suppression
I know the grade of my decline
will land me in dementia
like my parents before
when we called it senility
I'll descend there eventually
But not today
Gonna for once take it easy
Close the time capsule
and just be
Ponderous Ponderings

Hammer Time
There is no hypocrisy
like religious duplicity
Not only do these phony
children of the Pharisees
make a mockery
of the teachings of Jesus
with such toxic hateful rhetoric
their intellectual dishonesty
gets weaponized
by those very same zealot types
who nailed Christ to the cross

That's All Folks
I am going to die..
Sooner than I had hoped Timelines being so fickle Are they not? I hope you remember me Maybe fondly Maybe not I used to think that mattered The fallacy of legacy Just pissing into a hurricaneThe Messenger Wins
slashed the night
bisecting the darkness
and the emptiness
of those manipulated
by ignorant deceptions
lashed out at the source
in a desperate reflex action
of futile self defense
As if their flailing denials
and personal attacks
against the courageous messenger
ever had a chance
of prevailing

Louder Than Words
in Heaven and Hell
more than ever before
bound in ancient texts
with prayers and ancient incantations
that have zero relation
to the swirl of tribulations
we face daily here on Earth
where Heaven and Hell
are not only very real
but challenge our faith severely
This is where the action battle
between good and evil rages daily
and where we stake our claim
with the choices we make
that defines
but where we will roll ultimately
on our path custom made
Swing and a Miss
gave me a sly smile
which I
in my state of need
took as a subliminal
romance invitation
for a kiss with the object
of my potential affection
I puckered up for the chance to share
a sensual liaison
with those lips so fair
with the grace of a ballet dancer
as I smooched
nothing but thin air
Of course
my blocked amorous humiliation
was captured for all posterity
by a voyeur hand held device
to such an extent
that my failure mass posted
is now a forever meme
in the public domain of shame

Smooth Operator
Fold the page
Execute a clean crease
Bisect the universe vast
Fold it again
Continuous segmentation
Diminishing subsets
Yet the sum space
of our canvas
remains the same
if you can manage
to see past
the ripple effect
that distracts
Embrace the big picture
elegantly framing the totality
of this infinite perception game

King Stealth
The man on the periphery
slow dancing on the edge
of relevancy
has come to cherish
his transparency
for there is a certain majesty
in his cloak of anonymity
For he is the sole sovereign
of his domain
The ruler of The Great Unknown
The Lord of Invisibility
does so cherish being alone
and is petrified
of ever being exposed
And if the walls
of this stealth existence
were ever to be breached
he would mourn
his loss of freedom
previously locked away with him
in his solitary kingdom

Blind Jammed
God how I wish
our existence
was not one big
ongoing conflict
on a grinding loop
Words I can do
but visual cues
and physical inflections
remain as foreign to me
as the moon
Can't read your face
without proper annotations
which always makes
our compromised communications
a problematic
tragically fractured equation

Burned Out
down to the lake
for some much needed
fluid replenishment
Unfortunately
for parched me
and all of us fragile
Terra inhabitants
our life source had gone dry
As was the mighty stream
that til very recently
had filled our cups to the brim
Now nothing but a cracked
rock hard drought highway
leading us to extinction
We looked to the acid sky
seeking environmental relief
but nary a cloud was to be found
over this now desperate landscape
of self created

Fossilized Us
about my sudden extinction
by an event unforeseen

Memory Cleanse
Another fucking retrospective
nobody requested
So let's not dredge up yesterday
any more than necessary
Anyway..
our past was not exactly
all that?
Nostalgia is a band aid remedy I guess
when the present is such a complete mess
No way these could possibly be
our "good old days" someday?
