Poet Introduction
Write or be written.
Resurgentis
Carry my weight for i am feathers.
Bury my late with all that matters.
Suffer my ache, pretend i care.
Search for sorrow, present my heir.
Freefall at my cost, discard my remains.
For all that is lost, my mind keeps me sane.
Lose what is found, establish what is lost.
My soul was salvaged, but at what cost?
Bury my late with all that matters.
Suffer my ache, pretend i care.
Search for sorrow, present my heir.
Freefall at my cost, discard my remains.
For all that is lost, my mind keeps me sane.
Lose what is found, establish what is lost.
My soul was salvaged, but at what cost?

Exitus
A letter to my dearest
Tears combined with ink
Memories which i cheer in
Nightmares in which i sink
An endless fall to bottom
Beyond the tears and soil
Passing sights of sodom
Sanity creaks in need of oil
The time for healing passed
Awoken in a dream
I found myself at last
Without a voice i scream
This poison seems to heal me
My death will give me life
No god succeeds to kneel me
No demon cares to thrive
...

Let me go
I got shaken with terror
When you left me at the show
You know how it affects me
Still you didn’t care at all
I trembled in my seat
Felt like i died right there and then
Never have i sunk so low
How could you do this to me friend?
Let me go. Let me go.
I don’t want to feel like this. I’m bro-
ken.
Broken. No patch can fix this hole in
my heart, my soul, it’s broken
Let me out of here i’m choking
My castle lost its own king
My heart, my soul is broken.
I’d love to parry all...

Menticide
I Indiana Jones’d my depression with fake smiles and aggression.
No spores of joy in sight to teach me counter lessons.
To hell with the common.
I lost interest to follow the herd, please sell me to the devil i’m about to summon.
Nothing to look forward to. Not a thing worth looking back at.
Many will say i have to see through.
Not many left who’ll say they get that...
Perfection is a personal conception.
For that reason it is obsolete and nothing more than a contraption.
Caught in a web filled with...

An uninvited guest
Knock-knock, no need to open doors.
Keep your seats warm while i traverse the floors.
I’m your best friend when in need of comfort.
Yet your worst enemy when you drift to slumber.
Eeny, meeny, miny, moe.
The time for games is over.
The time has gained a foe.
My job is the greatest from winter to fall.
My job seems to be the greatest job of them all...
No matter the light or the heavy sleeper,
Please welcome your host for the night;
The Grim Reaper

Outgrown
Have we outgrown the one thing we share and own?
Was there reason for us to linger on the doubts of the love we’ve shown?
Since when does it take time to make time for each other?
Hope that our lives sync up. Next week? No, don’t bother.
When the flame first ignited the signs were instant.
Alas the flame is on wake, thus the signs are distant.
Love teaches us to follow our heart.
But what to do when it’s impaled with glass shards?
My sights became blurry, obstructed, like an unnecessary watermark.

Cyberpunk
Let me in on this horizon funk.
Kicks so tight, i’m a cyberpunk.
Crazy for the neon, my ride’s a hunk.
Beats from the 80s feed my car’s blaupunkt.
Many will say i barely get to live another day.
Lifestyle’s wicked. Married? Nah, hah no way.
Married to the game maybe, who’ll say.
Anyway...
Got no time for maybes.
Acting like ya’ll got seeds to grow trees. Ya’ll babies.
Lack of steeze. Got no time to freeze.
Keep it movin’ like i’m pushing a broom on ‘em.

Outersanity~with the brilliant smackdownraven
the collective eye looks inward
the species of soul has pricked the conscious of the hierarchy
perhaps they are more than sustenance
implanted in humanities conscious...fear
religion used for general enslavement
we crave their suffering
harvest their pain
human screams are the lullabies
our offspring sleep to
tendrils across the universe
detects something new on the winds
coded and locked
a dominion we are new to
the collective eye blinks
and as one we shudder ...

Blindfolds Off
Countdown starts from three...
I kid you not. See?
A trigger-happy firing squad,
this is it for real. We’re caught.
Make way for the tears, because without spilling them for years there’s a lot.
Just stare into my eyes forcing me to do the same my love.
Let’s pretend death is progression so no amount of fear’ll be enough.
This situation is tough. I wish it’d be different but hell, it’s not.
There’s slim chance in heaven for us you know?
Sorry to spill the beans like that but what’d you expect? A three-eyed...

Better off
Please hold me when the bombs drop.
Till there’s no skin left on my flesh.
Keep smiling till our time’s up.
I need you close when I turn to ash.
-
This war isn’t yours or mine but still ours for some reason.
World leaders with weakened grip on reality caused by treason.
High velocity nuclear curiosity killed so many felines...
Pure hypocrisy.
Let me out. There’s no way back in for me.
Presidential infamy. Shit’s so clear, it’s meant to be.
Such a treat to be here with you.
Evil can’t be taught, we’re...

My dear, my love for you is getting weaker.
Like connecting to a distant bluetooth speaker.
No receiver.
Sorry for the analogy, but to me our bond is like yesterday’s technology.
So my apologies...
Nah whatever, feeling sorry never helped nor fed her.
The last few years are lined up for the shredder. The sooner the better...
Like pulling a band-aid. You told me I was the one for you whilst getting other men laid. So much for men hate...
I chose to believe you. No matter what, we’d be see-through. ...

The close
Silence is often pronounced the loudest.
A sheer display of impotence of late.
Our highness falls to depths of prowess.
Thy fear legitimate, engulfed by hate.
Forsaken by love, thy voice taken by war.
The falcon soars unlike ever before.
Thy enamel stained, thy index faded.
Fight our battles, evermore be hated.
Bloodlines kept pure like the horizon sun.
Whoever might take me will burn to ashes.
For the phoenix’s flames will let you burn.
My legacy’s kept until the close will catch us.
A sheer display of impotence of late.
