Sinister Mind
Outside in the distance a black cat moans
Underneath a blistered sky the stars revolt
Lost in the wilderness while casting stones
Testing fate on the edge of a lightning-bolt
Strangers gather around the mystic stream
In need of quenching some forgotten thirst
Wandering across miles guided by a dream
Only to realize the journey has been cursed
Death will consume them all before sunrise
Silently a creature approaches from behind
Overwhelmed taken completely by surprise
Falling victim to a madman’s sinister mind
Underneath a blistered sky the stars revolt
Lost in the wilderness while casting stones
Testing fate on the edge of a lightning-bolt
Strangers gather around the mystic stream
In need of quenching some forgotten thirst
Wandering across miles guided by a dream
Only to realize the journey has been cursed
Death will consume them all before sunrise
Silently a creature approaches from behind
Overwhelmed taken completely by surprise
Falling victim to a madman’s sinister mind

The Witch of Endor
Here we go casting on the winds
fits of ego dine
tiny understanding in the haze
a maze of words astound
falling on the mind heavy
Words of power persuade
expletives of faith
linger in my thoughts
pursuing me in my inner sanctum
conjuring truth, I ask
With halted need, I request
Reveal yourself in the abyss, we have met
Tinder for the fire
burning with greedy lust
pages turn while I gaze
In the book of Nod it is written
witches are coveted
Don't show yourself
cover your mind ...
fits of ego dine

With halted need, I request
Reveal yourself in the abyss, we have met

He left this body here for you
He left me
dressed
in black,
hands bound,
blindfolded,
so that I
couldn’t
reach for him
couldn’t look for him;
so that when my
spine crumbled
all I could do was
whisper
‘don’t’ as I
heard the door
pull shut.
He left
with cruel
words wrapped
in kindness
He told me to
find another
playmate
...

Shadow Dancer
When your thoughts start to become dark 🌑 with thoughts of darkness, as your feelings and emotions start to change, in ways that you could never really imagine. For sure it's necessary to truly understand what is going on from within, as much as it will affect you more frequently than you think. 🤔 For sure it can really happen to anyone, who has bent up anger of just losing there sense to think, about there own actions which sometimes brings nothing but consequences. Sometimes it can be spiritual as it can be mentally and emotionally, and physically draining to the deepness of...

~teaser #1 :: when the inner~ aghori unleashes…
this smiling yogic lips as if a deep purplish
to watery-coloured glassy mishmash emulsion
of a many bitten clotted beady clusters …
spread in a sensual scatter.. amongst
the foaming in rainy droplets in glisten..
of a daytime..
mutates sudden ..
over the overtaking maya
-a transitional twilight-ic switch
of a grave
yes, welcome to the liberational grave
that now, you are already in fateful entry.
your monstrous mouth of maggoty lies ...
to watery-coloured glassy mishmash emulsion
of a many bitten clotted beady clusters …
spread in a sensual scatter.. amongst
the foaming in rainy droplets in glisten..
of a daytime..
mutates sudden ..
over the overtaking maya
-a transitional twilight-ic switch
of a grave
yes, welcome to the liberational grave
that now, you are already in fateful entry.
your monstrous mouth of maggoty lies ...

If you bully Betty I'll pull out your public hair with pliers
You've been warned
Don't mess with my friend Betty
You're lucky
She's 6'4 and breathes fire
Favorite expression:

rusted memories
rusted memories
jabbed my heart:
my soul's turning sepsis
gradually it will rot
oozing odour of toxicity
which has already started
paralyzing me,
my senses are going numb;
lockjaw of mind-
cant' enunciate feelings.
hurry, inject me a shot!
jab me with sanity,
eliminate the microbial apparitions
of my infected past
haunting the catacombs
in my mental cavern;
exhume his
ungodly touch,
vandalize graves
of his lies,
exorcise!
please exorcise me
of his remains ...

Dead Inside
to say i'm utterly
devastated is an
understatement
i feel crushed
The day after
i saw our home
will be closing
its doors i was
told Two of my
supportworkers
will have to stop
due to protocols
and regulations
the government
who Wants more
money & power
they always do
it means i'll lose
3/4 of my support
system including
the deep site my
lifeline & you guys
everything familiar
feels like i'm walking
on...

Shots, Shots, And Aftermath Realisations
I’ve always wondered why
violence tastes like
crumbled cigarettes in ashtrays…..
The sound of swept glass
swishes and clinks
bells played by tinkerbelle gone rogue
each scrape and tinkle is met with a silence as red as my eye
as swollen as Jim’s head
as black as Dave’s balls
The sweet scent of peach schnapps lingers on my polo shirt
its collar torn
and stretched
I’m nursing a pint that consists of
three quarters Cuervo and a quarter of
the last dregs of my sanity
Jason sits there...

Stop Smiling
I
Am
A
Wreck
Bruised and discarded like those old ships
You found me and now what?
Why do you smile?
Everyone passes me by and not give a damn
Not …A…Damn!
You smiled at me
You reached for me and…and
What am I supposed to do?
You don’t understand
I’m a wreck
Your light hurts me
Stop! Smiling!
“Beautiful”
Me?
Beautiful?
Does he not see the bruises I carry?
This eye is black and blue
I did not fall
STOP..SMILING!
It’s starting to rain now
I can feel it...
