These Walls
The walls are getting closer now.
This broken sanctuary is shrinking.
Her will shoves weakly at the sides;
The second bottle slipping.
Caged, by careless hands
That crush without intention,
The bottle cracks against the pressure;
She weeps for the lost redemption.
There’s panic in the tightening
But, idling is far more frightening;
No enlightening in recycling.
Let go. Let them close.
This broken sanctuary is shrinking.
Her will shoves weakly at the sides;
The second bottle slipping.
Caged, by careless hands
That crush without intention,
The bottle cracks against the pressure;
She weeps for the lost redemption.
There’s panic in the tightening
But, idling is far more frightening;
No enlightening in recycling.
Let go. Let them close.

Liar Liar Pants on Fire
It doesn’t matter what I do,
For you, it’s not enough.
You’ve taken an unhelpful view;
That I’m a ready kind of rough.
My word is never heard,
In whatever way expressed,
My intent? Always inferred
To some underhandedness,
Suspicion reigns, within your gaze,
So you turned your face away,
Disbelieve, my hearts ablaze
For you, each and every day.
Blind to my integral parts
You used to so admire..
Honesty, is all of me
But all you think is liar.
For you, it’s not enough.
You’ve taken an unhelpful view;
That I’m a ready kind of rough.
My word is never heard,
In whatever way expressed,
My intent? Always inferred
To some underhandedness,
Suspicion reigns, within your gaze,
So you turned your face away,
Disbelieve, my hearts ablaze
For you, each and every day.
Blind to my integral parts
You used to so admire..
Honesty, is all of me
But all you think is liar.

The Wall
If I stare long enough at this spot on the wall,
Can I rewrite the outcome of it all?
Continue to hold this breath, in the deep;
Eyes stretched so wide, they cannot weep.
Horror scenes flick, in replacement of sleep.
Locked in, locked out, cuts inevitably,
Crumbling sanity, what is left of me?
Just a shell of who I used to be.
I quit.
Can I rewrite the outcome of it all?
Continue to hold this breath, in the deep;
Eyes stretched so wide, they cannot weep.
Horror scenes flick, in replacement of sleep.
Locked in, locked out, cuts inevitably,
Crumbling sanity, what is left of me?
Just a shell of who I used to be.
I quit.

Mother’s Song
Breeze on my back,
Bird song in my ear.
A minute to relax,
Quietly hear
The hymn in the hum;
Busy bees bout their business..
Deep appreciation
For mother and her riches.
Feather light floating,
Spectrums in sound;
Gaia’s sweet noting
Vibrates through the ground.
As I drift we both sing,
Melodies for soul mending.
In the calmness she brings
The Song with no ending.
Bird song in my ear.
A minute to relax,
Quietly hear
The hymn in the hum;
Busy bees bout their business..
Deep appreciation
For mother and her riches.
Feather light floating,
Spectrums in sound;
Gaia’s sweet noting
Vibrates through the ground.
As I drift we both sing,
Melodies for soul mending.
In the calmness she brings
The Song with no ending.

Murder She Wrote
My Mental Health is no fucking joke,
If I’m hitting the hole, I’m hitting it low.
Couldn’t climb coz you threw me a rope of
Judgements and whispers, like why can’t she cope?
If you knew my story you’d see how I lost hope.
Pray, never, will you, have to live in my boat,
Can’t rewrite a history, sit there and gloat
At the death of resilience, murder she wrote
If I’m hitting the hole, I’m hitting it low.
Couldn’t climb coz you threw me a rope of
Judgements and whispers, like why can’t she cope?
If you knew my story you’d see how I lost hope.
Pray, never, will you, have to live in my boat,
Can’t rewrite a history, sit there and gloat

Plot Twist
Have you ever looked at ancient hieroglyphs?
Translating true paths, from legend and myth?
Have you ever considered that this isn’t it?
History fed, led, perspective shift..
Dial into self, seek the truths that exist
Root deep, inner grounding, energy plot twist!
We are eternal and consist
Of carbon, you’re stardust,
the Universe
Is You.
Root deeper, you’ll see there,
The lies, masked,
with truth,
Of Who.
You. Are.
Translating true paths, from legend and myth?
Have you ever considered that this isn’t it?
History fed, led, perspective shift..
Dial into self, seek the truths that exist
Root deep, inner grounding, energy plot twist!
We are eternal and consist
Of carbon, you’re stardust,
the Universe
Is You.
Root deeper, you’ll see there,
The lies, masked,
with truth,
Of Who.
You. Are.

Warrior Heart
She has this energy, that is all her own,
When it manifests; I know my soul is home.
You chasing cookies and cream, this Queen, is stars and light,
Never been of the scene, she moves in ways I like..
Never knew a women who moved with such grace!
Lifted up my soul, from the darkest place.
Just her aura, was enough to make me feel safe.
My Warrior heart, with an Angel’s face.
When it manifests; I know my soul is home.
You chasing cookies and cream, this Queen, is stars and light,
Never been of the scene, she moves in ways I like..
Never knew a women who moved with such grace!
Lifted up my soul, from the darkest place.
Just her aura, was enough to make me feel safe.
My Warrior heart, with an Angel’s face.

Past Lives
Never a kind word, at least, not when I’m awake.
Woulda, coulda, shoulda, its all you ever say.
Can’t appreciate the difference, even once, would have made..
If you spoke the sweetness whispered, in the night, through the day.
Show everyone compassion,
Excluding me, I’m not in fashion.
Why do you linger with no passion,
Yet, light up for yesterday?
Woulda, coulda, shoulda, its all you ever say.
Can’t appreciate the difference, even once, would have made..
If you spoke the sweetness whispered, in the night, through the day.
Show everyone compassion,
Excluding me, I’m not in fashion.
Why do you linger with no passion,
Yet, light up for yesterday?

My Fear And I
Don’t give in to “THE FEAR” they said..
Sage advice, for a life lived in bed.
Do they not know, that it lives in the corner?
Projecting “WORST CASE” into my head?
Continuous prattle, this creature and I..
Don’t connect, just reject, continue to lie
Where you’re SAFE, in your space, I’ll make you feel warmer,
Coz out there’s a “WAR ZONE”, Eye for an Eye.
It’s been my Companion for many a year;
I don’t remember a life without you, My Fear..
Sickened, pulse quickened, this Gorilla Informer
Whispers twisted, sadistic, tales in my...

She Was Never Yours To Keep
So now I Let you go..
Accepting. We both know.
So now I let you go..
Shaking hands. Breathing slow.
So now I let you go..
Yesterday, was the last tomorrow.
So now I let you go..
Surrendering. Shattering. Suffocating woe.
So now I let you go..
Eyes close their window.
So now I let you go..
Rediscover your happy soul
So now I let you go..
What is dead, cannot grow.
So now I let you go..
Black. Red. Rivers flow
So now I let you go..
Apathy. Panic. Regret. No!!!
So now I let you go.. ...
Accepting. We both know.
So now I let you go..

Darquize
It was her...fire, my undoing,
Lost my heart by looking
Into those Darquize.
Molten need, intensely brewing;
Oh shit, for you? I’d fall to ruin,
That woman, Darquize.
Depths too deep for swimming,
Fell fast from the beginning,
Hypnotised, Darquize.
Golden galaxies in the sunlight,
Tapetum vision, see through dark nights
Supplicant to your; Darquize.
Reflecting back the lion,
I think I have found my Zion;
Worship-in, those Darquize
Lost my heart by looking
Into those Darquize.
Molten need, intensely brewing;
Oh shit, for you? I’d fall to ruin,
That woman, Darquize.
Depths too deep for swimming,
Fell fast from the beginning,
Hypnotised, Darquize.
Golden galaxies in the sunlight,
Tapetum vision, see through dark nights
Supplicant to your; Darquize.
Reflecting back the lion,
I think I have found my Zion;
Worship-in, those Darquize
