don't twist the knife
I won't forgive you for this
save the guilt trips
for your own personal relationships
the only thing we've ever shared
is DNA and 15 years
living under the same roof
You don't know me
and I don't know you
but I know what kind of man you are
and it's not one I'll be keeping around
for potential good times
When the dust settles on this
sliver of our lives
I don't expect to see you again
I don't know why you never
really loved me
with the same heartache
I loved you with
and...

Flags
I see an American flag
and I cringe
An Israeli flag
and I cringe
A British flag
and I cringe
An Australian flag
and I cringe
A Hezbollah, Hamas, Russian flag.
What's the bloody difference.
Flags assist and exist in keeping us all seperate.To reinforce a uniqueness when in fact there are none.Arbitray borders, placed on a map by the powerful,the vengeful,the greedy define nations and the people who live there in.
Burn the flags
Erase the borders
Allow human capital to move around the world as easily as money does. ...

Asphalt Burning
Haunted kisses of arrogance lost soul
of ecstasy's obsession fading where
once was love's open book
Now just a shadow touching my lips
as if asphalt is burning holes in my heart
and the flowers unearthed
Now withered brush
suffering the absence of the roses
with a distance of the silence
that lies in loneliness
of ecstasy's obsession fading where
once was love's open book
Now just a shadow touching my lips
as if asphalt is burning holes in my heart
and the flowers unearthed
Now withered brush
suffering the absence of the roses
with a distance of the silence
that lies in loneliness

Silenced Violence
I didn’t know grief had a sound, until it echoed in the silence after the gunshot.
How could something so final, so brutal, happen so fast?
The tears felt so heavy but were pointless. Nothing could remove your bloodstain in the dirt.
I screamed at the ground, but the earth didn’t care,
So, I cursed at the heavens demanding he be spared.
The truth is we stand in a shooting range, and no one even flinches when the bullets start flying.
As kids play on the playground, which would soon be their graveyard.
Like bodies hitting the ground is just background...

Drowning in Depravity
you want to be an artist
and be taken more serious
sorry, that's just not the world we live in
you want attention
all you have to do is show more skin
bust out those tits
pop that ass out
because nothing fucking matters
nothing fucking matters N E more
and if you're wondering
what I'll be up to
while the world burns
I think I'll be
drowning myself
in depravity
there's no heaven
when we live in hell
sheeps with their red hats
being lead to the slaughter
and it makes me laugh ...
and be taken more serious
sorry, that's just not the world we live in

because nothing fucking matters

In the Corner of Your Eye
A single tear
Just there
In the corner of your eye
Left to wipe it away
All alone
It turns a boy
Into a wall
Asking why???
Years of silence!
And you ask me
For just a word?!
Atone, in fear
It's there
In the corner of your mind
Too drained to comprehend
You're all alone
Turns a heart
Into stone
Begging now???
Tears of rage!
And you deny me
Off all my anger!
You left me here!
You left me!
You left me there
In the corner of...
Just there
In the corner of your eye
Left to wipe it away
All alone
It turns a boy
Into a wall
Asking why???
Years of silence!
And you ask me
For just a word?!
Atone, in fear
It's there
In the corner of your mind
Too drained to comprehend
You're all alone
Turns a heart
Into stone
Begging now???
Tears of rage!
And you deny me
Off all my anger!
You left me here!
You left me!
You left me there
In the corner of...

The Hollow King
In a moment of betrayal, when trust was laid bare,
Laughter masked the anguish, a heart shattered to weep.
A master of illusion, weaving pain with such ease,
In shadows of affection, innocence fell to its knees.
Sweet words turned to mockery, a cruel, chilling game,
As manipulation tightened its grip, an unrelenting claim.
Each promise, once vibrant, now wilts in decay,
Echoes of sorrow linger, where love faded away.
Behind God’s name, a hollow king hides,
Using Jesus as a shield, while darkness abides.
A wolf...
Laughter masked the anguish, a heart shattered to weep.

In shadows of affection, innocence fell to its knees.
Sweet words turned to mockery, a cruel, chilling game,
As manipulation tightened its grip, an unrelenting claim.
Each promise, once vibrant, now wilts in decay,
Echoes of sorrow linger, where love faded away.
Behind God’s name, a hollow king hides,
Using Jesus as a shield, while darkness abides.

Don't f**k with a GOD
Oh, behold
You almighty gatekeepers
Of the DEEP POETRY
Untouchable
Infallible you
NO questioning
Toss all others
To the side
This is YOUR space
The rest of us
Can shut our mouths
To save FACE
SLAVES to your grace
You almighty gatekeepers
Of the DEEP POETRY
Untouchable
Infallible you
NO questioning
Toss all others
To the side
This is YOUR space
The rest of us
Can shut our mouths
To save FACE
SLAVES to your grace

Gravedigger's Gout - with Mel44
Twilight’s oblivion
lights just went out
darkness spreads
like a cancerous bout
mortals in ashes
as the curtain fell about
absent illumination
life does not sprout
dead are the blooms
in shades of drought
petals in metamorphosis
without light to scout
putrid the stench
of a gravedigger’s gout
depths of desolation
leaves me to pout
lights just went out
darkness spreads
like a cancerous bout
mortals in ashes
as the curtain fell about
absent illumination
life does not sprout
dead are the blooms
in shades of drought
petals in metamorphosis
without light to scout
putrid the stench
of a gravedigger’s gout
depths of desolation
leaves me to pout

Untitled
Hatred, beyond the restless prism,
Found a way to tame itself
Like a bright-eyed rabbit, vomiting sweet syrup.
Higher, greater hatred
Often burns in the glory,
Scattering scorching sorrow from the tower's peak.
Someone fell, like a dead stone.
Throw it away! Fall down!
Facing death again and again,
The trillionth death blesses them,
And blesses me.
I hope by then, I'm still the burning stone.
仇恨在躁动的棱镜之外

Permission to State my Case
Am I allowed to survive?
To be here,
Alone or with another.
Am I allowed to die?
To be somewhere you cannot see,
Or hear,
Or imagine.
Am I allowed to hurt?
I am shaped of blood,
But so are you.
Are you?
Are you?
Are you?
The rising,
Up to the clouds,
And out the front door.
I cannot see past the screen.
Am I allowed to leave?
To be there,
Away from where I have been.
To be safe,
And feel it too.
I’m happy.
Aren’t I?
Can I be?
Am I allowed?
Am I allowed? ...
To be here,
Alone or with another.
Am I allowed to die?
To be somewhere you cannot see,
Or hear,
Or imagine.
Am I allowed to hurt?
I am shaped of blood,
But so are you.
Are you?
Are you?
Are you?
The rising,
Up to the clouds,
And out the front door.
I cannot see past the screen.
Am I allowed to leave?
To be there,
Away from where I have been.
To be safe,
And feel it too.
I’m happy.
Aren’t I?
Can I be?
Am I allowed?
Am I allowed? ...

Funny Little Guy
Slitted eyes
And poisonous green tears
Suffering in style you say
But
All I see is suffering in suffering in suffering
And I see how much
I fucking hate them.
And I hate you
And you
And. You
You. You
you
how dare you take someone’s malfunctioning heart
and eat it raw
like it is just a piece of fruit
that you deserve
but you don’t.
And poisonous green tears
Suffering in style you say
But
All I see is suffering in suffering in suffering
And I see how much
I fucking hate them.
And I hate you
And you
And. You
You. You
you
how dare you take someone’s malfunctioning heart
and eat it raw
like it is just a piece of fruit
