zombie apocalypse part 2
Gasping for air, my lungs soar and my heart aching,
trudging through thick pools of mud, knee deep,
struggling to keep my rifle out of the dirt.
I treat myself to a quick rest and check behind me.
Dusk, the sun has but an hour left on its shift,
the mud writhes as crippled infected crawl there way through.
More are coming, over the crest of a hill.
I keep moving, I throw up from exhaustion, I keep moving,
I run till my feet bleed and my muscles pump acid.
I pass out...
Dawn, I open my eyes to the world and look around, where am I?
Birds...

Living
I would like to tell a story,
this is not one of failure,
but one of glory.
There was once one who lived,
they walked the earth in peace,
never looking back,
never giving, never taking
never trying, never losing.
They existed in the way that they were alive,
born into the unknown, not once were they shown,
that living is as easy as being alive;
that taking a breath is an insult to death,
and a beat of the heart is a step away from the start.
A lesson can be learnt from living a life of hurt,
that one day...

zombie apocalypse
a sea of flesh, waves of tooth and claw
serendipity drew me here, my plan is clear
i gaze into the mass of writhing flesh
irksome eyes meet mine
magnanimous ideals far from gone
little is left of my humanity
disparities now clear
all phalanxes have been selected
choose you weapon and destroy the infected
perched upon a broken building
out of reach of the infected
my katana held tightly between my dry palms
breath steady and heart slow
for i am the last survivor
this is the greatest moment of my life
ironic as im...

light of my life
The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done.
And the day but one;
Yet the light of the bright world dies
With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies
When love is done.

new age
I'm breaking up
I'm breaking down
Inhale that smoke
Without a sound
I sweat more rust
My tears are black
Insomnia and
I hit the sack
This is now
Apocalypse
Abdicable revelation
So i swing those hits
Heres the end
Were the last alive
Shrouded fear
We wont survive
I'm breaking down
Inhale that smoke
Without a sound
I sweat more rust
My tears are black
Insomnia and
I hit the sack
This is now
Apocalypse
Abdicable revelation
So i swing those hits
Heres the end
Were the last alive
Shrouded fear
We wont survive

Oppression overcome
How many times must one man be told,
Before he gives up, before he gets old.
It's funny to me how clouded you see,
You dont know what im going to be.
You think your one step ahead of me,
Standing tall thinking your ruling the world,
You got a good view from your pedestal.
I cant wait to put you down,
To see you fall, to take your crown.
Wipe that grin off your face,
I should have stayed away in the first place,
You're a disgrace to the human race,
You didn't fall from grace,
You're just the same as everyone else,
Trapped in the rat race....
Before he gives up, before he gets old.
It's funny to me how clouded you see,
You dont know what im going to be.
You think your one step ahead of me,
Standing tall thinking your ruling the world,
You got a good view from your pedestal.
I cant wait to put you down,
To see you fall, to take your crown.
Wipe that grin off your face,

You're a disgrace to the human race,

Dark dungeon
Dark, desperate and alone I called
But none shall answer me
I’m trapped and all alone in here
It’s far too dark to see
Trudging through the mist
Oppugnant premonitions fill my mind
Murky, few and far between
Juxtaposed and acutely refined
Again I call into the shadows
A sardonic voice replied
‘Go back whence you came young one,
The last was flayed alive”
Braving the menacing proclamation
I retort into the iniquity
My audacity got the better of me
Snared in my prison of ubiquity
Malevolent thoughts creep...
But none shall answer me
I’m trapped and all alone in here
It’s far too dark to see
Trudging through the mist
Oppugnant premonitions fill my mind
Murky, few and far between
Juxtaposed and acutely refined
Again I call into the shadows
A sardonic voice replied
‘Go back whence you came young one,
The last was flayed alive”
Braving the menacing proclamation
I retort into the iniquity
My audacity got the better of me
Snared in my prison of ubiquity
Malevolent thoughts creep...

waves of love
Nevermind the weaker kind,
maintain a strong mind,
you cant see if you're blind.
Try as you might,
you can't win this fight,
how is it ever going to be alright.
I've hear it all before,
you go walking out the door,
then your back and we pretend things are like before.
Inevitably you will see,
we aren't meant to be,
its simple to me,
why couldn't you see.
Now here we are,
broke, beat and scarred,
you're falling hard.
But I'm on the rise,
time to open my eyes,
and set aside the goodbyes.

A young man from Leeds (limeric)
There was a young man from Leeds,
who swallowed a packet of seeds,
and out his arse,
grew blades of grass,
and his balls were all covered in weeds.

to be free
Anonymity is the key
to living free, you see.
why not live like me, i plea
don't be silly,
or disagree with me.
just flee,
sit under a tree,
by the sea,
and then you will see
anonymity was the key to being free.

Changing to the same beginning
Sometimes you are nothing more than a memory;
All I yearn for, is to love you here with me,
Indulging in each others energy,
Absorbing in each others intricate psyche
Is that a fallacy? supposedly, undeniably, regrettably.
God never seems to answer me about the latter enquiry.
From here for ever on,
I just want to hold on strong;
Have you and me imbedded forever in the stars
As constant and as unchanging as the universe it’s self;
Held in the elegant beauty of infinity,
Forever and eternity.
Such sensitive and suitable silence I speak,...
