The Disappointing Quality

The taste has soured
Enchantment scattered
To the winds
Of an echo
No longer heard

The beauty once
Remembered
Not visible
Through the shell
Of bitter acid

A lifetime enclosed
In a mind rotted
With instigation
For the purpose
Of hurt

When the soul
Has flown free
Embittered
Will it continue
To be?

What legacy
Was left behind?

A bloodline
Of memories
Emotionally
Abused
Ready to carry on
To the next
Generation
The same
Acrid views

Life's Hullabaloo

The seedy underbelly
Of a belly rubbed
The wrong way
The upside of it all
Is the growth of anatomy
To better a fake economy

Or so says he

The man
With a plan
Inferring
With his wee

The debased walking tall
At the beck and call
Of Decembers
Aging caterwaul

While May
May have
A little sweet
Not too far away

A sight to see
In this city
No need
To pity

The choices
Are open
To interpretation
Yes or no
To the invitation

I would cry
For the sadness
But the scene
Is so ridiculous

That I smirk
To hide my
Mirth
Oh to live
And die
On this earth

Nothing to do
But find the humor
In the antics
On the stage
Of the aging
Life's hullabaloo
And so would you
If you gazed upon it too

Second Shower




Second shower of the day
Got caught in the pouring rain
Warmth pounding my skin
Elates the mood I'm in

Drops bead
Mirroring
My need

That power never fails
To impress
     As it castigates and rails
          Our frailty

Lightening screams out
My name
For we are the same

I feel it in my blood
As it surges
And floods
My synapses

Contained
Within this fragile shell
As the thunder
Rings my bell

And I smile

Flourish Triumphantly




I've wandered free
As a bird did I fly
Watched as people
Flowed by

Dreamily
I meditated
As to how it would be
To be a tree
That I perched on
So happily

Rooted to
The mother of all
While being fed
With her love
Growing ever tall

So I've scratched
The earth you see
And settled in
Peacefully

Soaking the love
She surrounds me
With a little help from above
I will flourish 
Triumphantly

The Girl I Used To Be




The girl
I used to be
I find

'Ring around
The rosie'

Circles in
My mind

There are times
I wish
To open all
Expose wounds
The ones
I can recall

'Ashes, ashes'

Truncated
Memories
Short clips
Of histories
A broken doll
Who had
A jarring fall

From inception
Through
Progression

The cold nights
The screaming fights

'A pocket full
Of posies'

Poisoned pen
The innocence
Shaken
No consequence

Forsaken

But I can't
Not right now
It's the pain
The pain
Shattered glass
Fractured pane
Pieces missing
Life will never
Be the same

I was told
To let it go
Let it go
From my body
Let it flow

Shed it free
Free from me
But the child inside
Clings on
Desperately

Does it
Make me weak
That I can't speak
For the girl
I used to be?

I don't know

Not



Echoes of time
Play on in clips
While drinking
Tea and eating
Potato chips

English
Not American

A lifetime sleeper
Bloats within
A heavy heart
A silent weeper
No amount
Of cider

English
Not American

Can account
Be balanced
Permanently
In the red
No worries
Tears are shed
Over strawberry jelly

American
Not English

In the dark
Somewhere
In a park
Out on her fanny

American
Not English

As luck
Would have it
Her middle name
Was 'Canny'

Beauty




In all things
A beauty
Do I see
Maybe it's
The poet
In me

There is a
Yin and a yang
To everything
But my eyes
Overlook the ugly
That springs

I can't deny
That it's there
Around the corner
Waiting for notice
The opposite
Complete polar

Shifts in the
Atmosphere
Blinded by light
I cannot hear

It's only the
The allure
That I see
It brings out
The attractive
And repulsive
In me

My Adventures in Cautery (Part 3)


Almost Over

This part of my story
Is almost over
There's no glory
No splendor
Time flew slowly
Without a whir

It sloth-ed on
With no excuses
The hourly yawn
Of the clock
Had no concessions
Or allowances

The last few months
Have been a drain
A heavy heavy
Daily strain

With eyes on me
At every turn
Self-conscious
Awkward
Anxious

Doesn't even
Fully describe
The feelings
All the feelings
Swirling inside

There were times
I'd even forgotten
Walking around
With a smile

But then a stare
A glare
A smirk
From some
Female jerk
Would really
Really irk

I could read
The thoughts
On her face
Her delight
At the many spots
'Oh what a
Sad sad case'

Silent words
That clearly raced
Across her
Beaming mug
Acting a little smug

Maybe I'm
Over-sensitive
But whenever
I see that look
I want to scream
A damn expletive!

This is basically just a picture diary of my progress.  I'm still doing and using the same procedures and products that I mentioned in Part Two.  I've been consistent and haven't wavered.  Below I've posted all pictures including the ones from Part One and Two.


I went ahead and included the links to Part One and Two






All photos starting from May 19th on were taken after washing my face.  I used natural lighting and no make up (only lip balm because I hate dry lips) and no photo edits.  All photos were taken with my iPad.












No difference probably between July 21 & July 29 because I decided to give my skin a break from peeling.  Did not put anything on my skin besides coconut oil after washing but started my peeling program again on the evening of the 29th.





This is the final week that I will take pics.  The spots are all almost completely faded and in a couple of weeks will be non-existent.  I'm satisfied that peeling my skin weekly has helped speed the fading process.  Will I do cautery again?  I don't know...maybe but with more caution in the future.  Two or three at a time not my entire face...that was a very bad idea I must say.  :-/


Below taken same day as above pics but with make-up and soft lighting.  Taken on the evening of the 23rd :-)

Resolute

Let me tell you about a love
A love so true
Faithful, enduring
Through the good times
And the blue

Never before
Has this happened to me
Not in my dreams
And never in reality

A love that fit
With beauty and style
I thought this was it
Ten years is a long while

But as in all things
All good things must rend
For I've left behind my love
Somewhere in the west end

I will never ever
Find a fit as perfect again
But I will search
To the ends of this earth
And the whole world wide
No matter the girth

I'll stay my course, resolute
To find me another
Of those perfect high heeled boots

Saccharine Smile

Deep in the psyche
Lurks a madness
A twisted
Serpentine sadness

A forger of thoughts
A spitter of spites
Through delighted beams
Plainly knowing it isn't right

Debauchery reigns
And lechery lies
Affecting sweet
Innocent doe eyes

But the flicker is there
Somewhere between
A second and a stare

All should be wary
Of the saccharine smile
The truth will out
Just watch and wait a while

Sayonara




I've participated
Long enough
In this charade

Killing myself
For a measly dime
Of your time

That you oftentimes
Felt too great a task
To deliver on schedule

While I wait
Counting minutes
Lost to my past

Ages flying fast
Life carrying on
Without my attendance

Missing in action
Absent without an excuse

Yourself

Happy as a clam
While eating cake
Not giving a damn

As it sits prettily
On ice
Frozen

In its little box
Protected from the
Elements

But unknown
Inside a storm
Brews in a cup of tea

Growing immensely
Insurgent
No longer containable

An explosion
Of controlled madness
Erupts from within

'Sayonara motherfucker!'

Remove My Love (Spoken Word)





I see no love
But arrangements
In disguise
Are they blind
Or are they wise?

Do they feel
The passion in my soul?
The thunder that rumbles
My body whole?

Remove my love
And I shall
Go insane
For without it
I am nothing
But a blood red stain
In a world
Shrouded in black rain
They will try to bleach me
Down the drain

A hollow shell
I shall become
My tears well
But will not succumb
No longer do I dwell
In this lifeless form
And sorrow cell

For without my love
I am but a spirit in the night
Howling a haunting tune
All dressed in white
Searching for my
Brave, strong knight
While the folks
The kinfolk
Lock their doors in fright
