noise and confusion reign
And I wonder why I was given
this disorder of the brain
Snatches of music
and thoughts are racing
A manic melody
my head is encasing
Pill bottle . . . more

Armed with a bowl
of chicken and noodles . . . more

She beat her child
until her anger turn to sadness

until it was clearly madness
Hatred in a mother's eyes

Listen to the breath of ageless wisdom,
coming from your elder's creased lips.
Feel the whispered strokes of love
from passion's partner in crime
Taste the nectar of the Gods
on your thirsty . . . more

Demon Within
Irritation, aggravation
Searching for alleviation
Pounding, resounding
beating in my brain
Questioning my intelligience
fearing I'm insane
Demon . . . more

Avoidance
Don't ask me for the truth.
Speaking it
would freeze my tongue.
You couldn't stand hearing it
anyway.
Don't ask me for the truth.
The true story
was lost somewhere between

When love has left you.

A childhood memory
An unfriendly ghost
I hungered for your love
You could only give me roast
Meat rich in protein
makes the body whole
Jealousy Hatred
out of control

I Did Not Lose You
I did not lose you
I pushed you away
So why is it
My heart aches now
I crave you so much
Yet I know
It will never be again
In my heart
I feel
You are the one . . . more

Ok. Here is another poem I found from the late 90's. (It's interesting what I found when I went through my storage room after moving). Anyway, the poem may be a bit dorky, . . . more

Anticipating glory
Swaying off kilter
Aching to whet an insatiable appetitite
She grows
Greedily devouring the atmosphere
Frenzied, she dips and revels
Carelessly emits seductive . . . more

Speak to me in the past tense
Don’t stoke the dying embers
Let me shiver in the bitter chill
No need to cushion the walls
Lock me in dogmatic confinement . . . more

My stomach digests itself in shame
My back longs for your calloused hands
My heart beats in tempered spurts
My mind's synapses have gone awry
The damage has been done
I've scars on soul and wrists . . . more

Here is a poem I wrote back in the late 90's, right before I found out I was Bipolar. It has no title.
How can you tell me
Not to worry, it'll be alright,
When the world is full . . . more
