How strange it is to wake up in a cloud of mildew-stinking mist.
I try to escape it.
I run and slip and wind up covered with it still.
Deviate, medicate, disintegrate. Create.
I fall to pieces at the will of a disease.
My blood and bones and ashes are beauty you can see.
No one will ever know me but they can own my very heartbeat.
My pulse paints on white canvases.
They hang me up and they feel free.
I hug their walls and feel their eyes.
I want to reach, but I'm petrified.
Trapped inside a mind.

Poetry: Grief
by Sid de Knees
Hey Dad, I love you.
Oh father promise me, you'll live,
if it should be that I die first,
don't ever starve yourself of life,
or
It is four years now since that awful call
And still I cannot stand up proud and tall
My mind crawling in darkness round
where
Trapped in memories of our yesteryears,
that are locked in archives in my mind,
I can’t advance while stalled in the
Grief
In the grip of grief, I suffer the pain I feel
It is so unreal, the hurt, a distasteful meal
That makes me weep,
Loneliness
When the Dark
Brings Tears
............
I gazed out toward
the cold graveyard
and wondered if
she was peaceful
