Poet Introduction
My stage name is Cloven and much of my writing is influenced by a lot of the music and mood of the music I listen to and is often heavier and philosophical in nature.

Trend Setting Fashion Statements
Trust compromised and repaired
Holistic bonds give sight to the otherwise impaired
Uniformed in motion gradually instep and unaware
Nuanced of the imperfect and yet automatic sense of care
Deviances redeemed on the altars of our swear
Experience refined by self sacrificial love, in every joy and burden that we bear
Romances of routine and revelry re-pronounces love so rare
Sedated yet awakened, our hearts in fashion that we wear
Torn to be reborn from the past and knit in the wonder of a full gaze from a blank stare
Roses...

Never Ending
Taken in, enraptured at a glance
Honing in on this romance
Usurping my heart through my eyes
Novice hopes called to light
Dreams come alive where fantasy dies
Enduring beyond a moment, a lifetime’s promise, a lover’s fight
Revolutions of palpitations
Stirring up passions to relive first sensations
Tried and true, a vows kiss beyond infatuation
Rendered undone by love satisfied by in-satiation
Under the influence of what brings both clarity and chemical inebriation
Cadence set in harmony to imbue
Kinetic collisions...

Filthy Rags
Divided in the terms
Who is the audience or the subject
When everyone is just as innocent as they are guilty
Interrogations, who is the detective and who is the suspect
When it’s in the fine lines filed down between discernment and the will to accuse
Our assumptions more truly rendered of ourselves then the ones we abuse
Self serving on opposite ends of the spectrum of a tainted point of view
Confronting the devil you think you see in someone else that more truly resembles the devil in you
Con on the will of this philanthropy, the...

One Voice
Reaching across this void
On the other side of a reality
Fractures in our perspectives
Brokenness from different points of view
Learning to see eye to eye
In this world of sight that is our blindness
The fight of faith is trained in these trials
As we sojourn on in this world of pain and prolonged miles
Mountains protrude and boast of their glory
But this is just the beginning of your recovery story
What the enemy intends for evil, God will turn to a testimony of truth
He is not the author of the affliction but a...

Conjoined 2
Lost in the moments affair
Fantasy enticing these highs of despair
Empty promises of fulfillment
Lies on the air
Heart in chains through the eyes
Bondages of a blank stare
Perpetuated by shame
This compulsion to lust
Euphoric trances cast in such shapely dust
Addict of pleasure and ache
Bearing this burden of mutual heartbreak
Demons versus vows
Puppet to these invisible strings
Vision shrouded by delusion
Falling for dreams
Entrapment by way of the minds eye
Reality and myths converge ...

Conjoined
What are we decomposed of?
The body made of composites of decay
Skin like a green house to harvest death
Toxins permeate beyond the surface
This carcass a womb for growths like leeches
Gradually siphoning life from the eyes
Starving the host as it reproduces
Offspring of this world of curses
Doesn’t it have its father’s lies?
Parasites of suffering
Microscopic weapons of this invisible war
Coupled with the voice of doubt
Disease takes hold
Alive in subjugation to the kill
Resentments made manifest with...

For Christ’s Sake
How do we define this?
One man’s law is another man’s virtue
What’s the matter of our preference
What’s a matter of our politics
Where does it collide on the tracks?
Ethics and morality versus the philosophy of our own well being
Our comforts are megaphones for lies when indulgence takes the cake
Are we living for ourselves or does our worship embody our values for Christ’s sake?
Lost for the weight of issues what do I address
When it’s easier to point to someone else than gauge the damages of our own mess
Give me an...

Poison Wells
Fixations to relation
We speak the same language of retaliation
Revolting against the establishment in theory
Without the means to make a change
Uttering clever ways to lodge complaints in unofficial petitions
Incite a riot on the grounds of self righteous seditions
What’s wrong and what is right when it’s all a matter of how you quote the narrative
Half empty gauges of our lack
Conditioned by self robbery
How do we take our perceptions back?
Tell me what to believe
When our goods and evils are relegated to the roles of truth...
