Cavity
I see nothing in my mind,
Just a cavity where another eye had be.
Just a cavity where another eye had be.

Anachronism
Rather than to be a man,
Made and finely aged with time,
You became a relic
Circa 1955.

Legacy
A legacy, immortalized on a dinner plate;
On clearance too.
On clearance too.

Nothing Learned
Must illness be the circumstance
Which makes a man profess
That no such thing as family
So healthy could exist?
Family must be unrequited,
Family must comes first;
Family must be foremost
But
Sir you're on your third!
Which makes a man profess
That no such thing as family
So healthy could exist?
Family must be unrequited,

Family must be foremost

Sir you're on your third!

Ink
It drips
And I watch it.
It drips
And I watch it.
At least the latter's more productive
Than the other one
I think.
And I watch it.
It drips

At least the latter's more productive
Than the other one

Breathe
Counting down from ten is actually harder than it seems,
The challenge comes from trying it as you breathe.
Sit up tall and inhale through your nose.
Lower your chin as that breath holds.
Now relax your neck and shoulders
And exhale when you're ready,
Letting it all out.
At the end
Breath in;
Count.

Institutionalized
Institutionalized,
A narrative sown in history
Has branches growing back
Some several thousand years
As humans started keeping track,
And a wise man once said
“You better learn or else you’re doomed,
"Repeating ancient history
"Kinda like my Moody Blues.”
So here we are,
It’s the current year; ...

The Sweetest Girl
With melancholy she’s drawing tears,
Sweet as saccharine, and just as irresistible,
Until there’s little else but sugared water,
Soaking
In an empty sundress by the field.
Sweet as saccharine, and just as irresistible,
Until there’s little else but sugared water,
Soaking

By Design
Paper houses bend and bow
Every time the winds will blow.
It’s by design or so they’re told,
For safety if it fold.
And when the tides rise up
The homes will sink to nothing more,
And the builders say
“Blame the salt and sea
"Who allowed integrity to fail.”
Every time the winds will blow.

For safety if it fold.

And the builders say

"Who allowed integrity to fail.”

Message in a Bottle
Well look at who
The tides turned in,
A lass as frail as brittle glass.
For years she sailed the oceans made
Of heartache tears, and yet alas
Her voyages continued on,
Despite the sails since
Fallen off.
Adrift she made her way by whim
Of wayward currents,
Day by day.
With every passing wave
Her ship did break away
From bow to stern,
And nary but a bouy left
To save her life
And nothing learned.
She let it slip
Her grip to let
Be drowned among her
Loneliness,...
The tides turned in,
A lass as frail as brittle glass.
For years she sailed the oceans made
Of heartache tears, and yet alas
Her voyages continued on,
Despite the sails since
Fallen off.
Adrift she made her way by whim
Of wayward currents,
Day by day.
With every passing wave
Her ship did break away
From bow to stern,
And nary but a bouy left
To save her life
And nothing learned.
She let it slip
Her grip to let
Be drowned among her
Loneliness,...

Yes
Where does artistic style end,
And bad writing being?
I couldn’t tell you 'cause I’m just
To perfect at it.

I couldn’t tell you 'cause I’m just
