Poet Introduction
I write sometimes and apparently become a pariah because I say things.

Beware your saviours.
But why bother learning now?
Indulge yourselves some dignity, best give up and lie down.
It's what you wanted.
Don't dare ask why or how.
Built empires off your backs you simply furnished them a crown.
One fix the other.
And all you get is broke.
Short-changing you maintains their float so in their debt you drown.

Compelling call
Nature guides, imploring witness admire it's effortless splendour.
A day crafted to envelop, so flourish its artistic grandeur.
In journey forgoing destination.
Purpose navigates, drawn from inspiration.
As delicate aroma scents the gentle breeze.
Wisping Sweet Alyssum, Hyacinth and Peonies.
Carries, germinating stir in eager pollinators.
Sweet reward of nectar, to entice awaiting visitors.
Valley abuzz as a fruitful rhythmic chaos begets.
Then slowly waning as moon rises and sun sets.
A day crafted to envelop, so flourish its artistic grandeur.
In journey forgoing destination.
Purpose navigates, drawn from inspiration.
As delicate aroma scents the gentle breeze.

Sweet reward of nectar, to entice awaiting visitors.

Wallow
Nowhere is my place.
Escape evades my chase.
Shunned by lifes embrace.
Imbue with hindrance grace.
Consumed by peace I rot.
Exhume long hidden plot.
Solitude sought where it's not.
Accursed sanctum death forgot.
Self became a state of disassembling.
Formless integration of dismembering.
A gorgeous desecration of resembling.
Hopelessly fixate on not remembering.
Aimless unknown into wanderer strays.
Time lost in the wake of endless daze.
Necrosis grows so gorge on what decays.
Another phantom slipping...

Cosmic anomaly
Floating in awe towards what appeared a porcelain glaze.
Facing the inescapable pull of that dense, pitch blackhole.
Another cuckoo traveller, bound to grace the twisting whirlpool.
To be folded like origami then distended, mercilessly.

Nothing to see here
It's madness.
You're insane.
One track mind.
Easy to train.
Lets play dress up.
On your knees.
Lets play doctor.
You're a disease.
Lambs to slaughter.
Muttons cheap.
All you herd.
Bleating sheep.
Lets play dumb.
Say no more.
Same old game.
Same old score.
Input, output.
Programmatic.
System error.
No one panic.
Robot.
That means slave.
Fit for purpose.
Not to save.

No uncertain terms (simply confounding)
Harsh asymmetrical contour following dislocated noncontextual departure.
Roaming, haphazardly choreographed with precise misaligned determination.
Mindfully staggering indistinguishable purpose consistently, in linear circumnavigation.
A matter of process, a state of perpetual traversal, saves from permanence.
The ad infinitum of specificity is quantum, the superposition allowing consistent continuity while indelibly transposing by observance.
Redundant to its operation, yet necessary in its function.
Leaving spaces unfilled by way of impetus, whilst evidently...

Demonstrative dedication
Easy to entrance the sycophants watch their helpless dance their back and forth swaying and swooning, in cunnilingual somniloquence.
Droning and drooling with flattering and fawning, turgently swelling, spouting placating pleasantries, a mess of gushing adulation.
Self exultation, craving congratulation by consensus for another conventional sensation, clamouring for congratulation in lurid inflated infatuation.
Curtailing castigation, striving in strides as pedestrian asperation gives rise to typical inspiration, stillted it saunters soulessly, provoking predicable...

Not a rant, not sure really just things (not a poem)
Why do people believe in this world? Why is it not ok to question beliefs. Why is it ok that the things people believe can be broadcast all over everthing and left as little asides but I'm not allowed to question that? Why is it ok to say you're going to hell or I'll pray for your soul to an non believer but not be allowed to tell them why their god doesn't exist? I understand might see it as an attack on them but ultimately the same person is still lying to themselves in both scenarios. Obviously you can see it from either or perspective and think that too. I might come across like I am...

Fallen empires
Ambient breeze.
Caressing dead eroded figures.
Gently hewn impressions jest knowingly.
Laughing madly now only pitied.
Quieted remaining stagnant.
Tired useless vessels.
Weathered xylography.
Yesterday's zeitgeist.

It's sweet insight
"Good afternoon sir, welcome to the patisserie. What can I get for you"
"Hi, yes I'd like some cake please"
"Certainly, is it for a particular occasion"
"No no, simply to observe"

Adrift
Mourn anew.
In cleansing turbulence swept to weeping.
An unreachable depth washes over.
Holding breath still swells the current.
Bound to bathe in compelling glow.
As tide to moon.
You move me.

Grotesque nectar
A victim like no other.
The mercy that i grant you.
Is the means to make you suffer.
Focusing the ire.
Emboldening in fire.
Twisting and entombing.
A hunger all consuming.
In molten flesh imprison.
Reborn from hatred risen.
By blood in dark baptism.
Free bound from the schism.
Corruption breed in sake.
Crushed all be in my wake.
As tortured havok reigned.
In sickness unrestrained.
Outcast of the infernal.
Wretched be eternal.
Now let slit the throat of birth.
And clot the veins in filth. ...
