Fades to Grey
Sear the ties that beheld the lies
And torturous commands that betray
Connections in death splayed in blood
As solemness fades to grey
Shapeshifting clouds and envious moons
Circle of laughter foray
Shed the sand that lives in time
When life begins to fray
The devil envenoms the darkness now
Closing his arms to the dawn
Evil lies dormant within us all
Until the good in us is gone
Birth of mercy
End of shame
Bathe me in long lasting pain
Terminal is the one inside
Where there’s nowhere left to...

Evil lies dormant within us all
Until the good in us is gone

Atomic Bilateral
In an essence of riotous perpetuity
Melancholy lurks in the fray
Sanity is judged by the same decree
That most of us betray
Results are temperamental, at best
They resolve my weary mind
While my thoughts engage in secrecy
My feelings can rarely unwind
I try so hard to navigate
The labyrinth of my sin
But reprieve is caught behind locked doors
And the keys aren’t letting me in
Forbear from tantalizing my soul
With an inherently unattainable dream
A meaningless violation of ecstasy
Is...

The Queen
Sliverless, magical, reckless, divine
Savoury helpless King
Merry master met his death
At the hands of his Queen
The Queen, they say, is venomous
The Queen, they say, is cruel
The Queen cares not about her men
But for the kingdom that’s hers to rule
With a scarlet letter upon her breast
Her henchman turn a blind eye
The jester wears the honour best
When all has gone awry
She waves her sceptre at the populous
Who gives obeisance to the Queen
They kneel, though, in retrospect ...

Me
I am pretty
I am gritty
I am deep and defined
I’m like a locust
I’m sharply focussed
But I need my wings to unwind
I’m like a flower
Sometimes I sour
Trimmed vexation
Not out of line
I am a mother
Sometimes I smother
He’s been shipped and he is mine
I’m a lover
Under the covers
Sometimes I’m naughty and unlined
I’m impassioned
Never rationed
Less impurities; more refined
But I’ve been shattered
That I never mattered
To the people whom I am tied
...

UPBEAT INSPIRATIONAL POEM

Glass
This will pass
Like glass, this mood can be broken
And as a token
The past will be left unspoken
The sun still shines
Even through the darkest sadness
It’s like madness there
Where you care too deeply
But just know though
That while the depression feels as if it is forever
It rarely ever imprisons you completely
Even if your heart skips a beat there
And your mind and body compete there
The haze will lift
And you’ll drift into glee
Where your spirit feels free
Like glass, this mood can be broken
And as a token
The past will be left unspoken
The sun still shines
Even through the darkest sadness
It’s like madness there
Where you care too deeply
But just know though
That while the depression feels as if it is forever
It rarely ever imprisons you completely
Even if your heart skips a beat there
And your mind and body compete there
The haze will lift
And you’ll drift into glee
Where your spirit feels free

Ghost
Sentient
Inorganic whisperer
Inept of fleshy collusion
A quiescent presence in the absence of dawn
Spires, momentous
Terrene harangue no longer on a whim
Sail forth; surcease the valley of design
Austere and slivered
Fated to bleed unto the realm of impression
A mind confined in this spacious illusion
Left to wither and romance the milieu of meddlesome plunder
Inorganic whisperer
Inept of fleshy collusion
A quiescent presence in the absence of dawn
Spires, momentous
Terrene harangue no longer on a whim
Sail forth; surcease the valley of design
Austere and slivered
Fated to bleed unto the realm of impression
A mind confined in this spacious illusion
Left to wither and romance the milieu of meddlesome plunder

Unpeople
Amass at will
Incoming shout
Adopt the wiseman for his clout
Come prance moon man
Censure this doubt
Affix his medal;
procure the lout
Head tips back
Life is fleeting
Snap the wishbone where it’s meeting
Masticate the hot bed, heating
Validate the right boy’s beating
Inject the poison
Lick it clean
Spurn the lecture; keep it lean
Endure conjecture
Lit a fire
Dapple the...

Four of Spades
Come rot with me
The philosophy
of atrocity
You smite the children to make the mother bleed
Down on her knees
Won't hear her pleas
Merciful fate
Where do I heed
While you splinter your creed
Marked trilogy
You seal their essence in virginity
You spared your seed
Sophistic mimicry
Paled and rest
Arms crossed
Tense chest
You killed yourself to avoid arrest
You left the family with a mess
Redress the tailor, morrow less
In the church, their spirits met
Combine the mourners ...

The Compass Points
Suddenly you find yourself
Wide open to your absence,
As the empty barrels in a half-loaded revolver
They dressed you in a hippie shawl
(Jesus fuck) even flowers in your hair,
Turned on, tuned in, dropped out
Into dream of desolate streets Millennium
Whored myself to your eulogy
‘memories will remain in the grass and rain,'
Just wanted to shake you awake and slap you
Sing you the latest Morrissey song
Was the rope your final joke
As you just hated hanging around
Cavernous low
Come speak...
Wide open to your absence,
As the empty barrels in a half-loaded revolver
They dressed you in a hippie shawl
(Jesus fuck) even flowers in your hair,
Turned on, tuned in, dropped out
Into dream of desolate streets Millennium
Whored myself to your eulogy
‘memories will remain in the grass and rain,'
Just wanted to shake you awake and slap you
Sing you the latest Morrissey song
Was the rope your final joke
As you just hated hanging around
Cavernous low
