POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
City Woke
We gonna see if this place can go the distance,
Riding like words on the streets to my sentence,
I'm just trying to outsurvive the system of the beehive,
Turning a blind eye to their visionary purpose for me,
Products of environments defined by our patriotic actions,
Stances lacking by our leaders bickering like children,
While the rest of us hit the spot and party til' the early morning,
Born into this warrior song home of the gravely furious,
My towns been blowin up an army of traffic lights,
Passing them by with the bass for hell on...

Cosmic Crescendo
Simple is the choir,
Sounds from their voice,
Resembled by pariahs,
Fiends friends to me,
Of my ghoulish guild,
Building something beautiful,
Standards to our effigy,
Pretty grittiness secrecy,
Seeped in starry systems,
As violent as the universe,
Flirting with destruction,
Destined to learn a lesson,
From the nonexistent life,
Happening past our horizon,
We die and fall into a grave,
Saving me a breath in death,
Suspicious obsessions,
Mentioned to me from the dark,
We go back to where we start, ...

It's OK I'll Just Stay Home And Die Some More
In case of future failures,
My extinction is exonerated,
Planned on wearing gas masks,
At the pinnacle of the fast lanes,
Rays of light avoiding everyone,
Weaving through their embodiment,
Ghosts of Christmas judgements,
Thinking death is someone else's burden,
I would rather sleep tonight,
A good boy not pulling on strings,
Meaninglessness in the eyes,
Of every dark ring leader's agenda,
Remember the last thing I said,
World chews us up and pretends,
Like we don't matter to existence,
Sentenced to...

Making Covid Era Babies
While the world feels so uneasy,
I have spent the time confidently,
In the back of my girlfriend's car,
Having crazy sex making babies,
While everyone stays inside alone,
We drive to the beach and sneak in,
Leaving the question to quarantine,
To the scared suckers of the universe,
My rough hands on her smooth ass,
Like rain falling down window glass,
Dripping wet to the sensitive touch,
Dance session in puddles of enjoyment,
The wheels on the car go back and forth,
Making creaking sounds it can't handle, ...

A Day Late And A Resurrection Short
An excellent example of Easter resurrection,
We all die in apocalypse God blesses mercifully,
Eyes wide I watch a world kill its silenced suicidal self,
Risen from the grave in a cave saving our unopen hearts,
Miracle man planning on protecting the protagonist,
Switched up from the last time I was at war with raging animals,
Light a fire in my eyes looking past the highest horizon,
When I die how much forgiveness are they handing out up there,
Why would He pay for our sins knowing how all this ends,
Begin to fret at the possibility that...

My Friend Pain
Pain is exquisite,
In the land of the dead,
A value without equality,
Quality over quanity,
Everyone's building block,
Soft man turnt into a rock,
Stop stepping on my tracks,
I hit rock bottom and dance,
In the blood from the past,
Breath it in and make it last,
Fast goes my belligerence,
In a nation of narcissists,
For everyone wants everything,
Blind to the fact of what we need,
An answer to the call from the deep,
Reaping the benefit off of you,
If death is a truth than what am I,
Die in the sky...

Personality Wars
Season's greetings from all of us,
Who have splintered into erosion,
Personalities rivers to an ocean,
Persisting principles permanence,
It feels like I'm not myself again,
Eye for an eye backstab my molecules,
Mushing a pathway through the brain,
Elecron's electrification creation,
Light up the insides my glowing veins,
Letting someone else take the helm,
Thieves of the night in my mind,
Aligning what binds us together,
Such a waste of time finding a body,
Rotting in unconventional ways,
Stay away...

Not All In This Together
Otherworldly omnipotence,
Honor the dead effigy,
I have to say I'm sorry,
To earn a spot in Heaven,
Grimaced at the thought,
Apologies to enemies,
Who I never help create,
My truest mistake,
To be paid in death threats,
Piecing the peace obtained,
Too far gone,
Sometimes we like to go that way,
Panic at the frayed human existence,
Snapped back to the animalistic,
I pardon the patience you've exhumed,
Singing songs why can't we get along,
Asking me on the front line of my war,
Are you fucking...

Morbid Messengers Inc.
Promenading on a phantom planet,
Planned it being less dramatic,
Our frantic habitat deconstruction,
I couldn't think of a better way to be,
Chained to temporal dispensaries,
Swinging us around a bed of firestorms,
If it pleases the court how we might end up,
I admire the gallantry, particle participation,
Across a tapestry of time and space,
Wondering where our place is in this,
Shifted into every moment from its end,
The eleventh hour in the fourth dimension,
Surpassing my surprise for happiness, ...

The Grave Becomes You
I perish in penance,
Prophesying profits,
A paranoid's promise,
To return the burden,
Look up at the sky,
Stare at the dead,
Existential heralds,
Remembered again,
Torn apart from us,
Gazing ghouls and ghosts,
Ignition made to cease,
Ripped hard rest in peace,
Direct me to delete,
Rinse and repeat,
For the next,
Psychotic astronaut,
Lock onto our latency,
Isolated frequencies,
Put up a black flag,
And call down to the deep,
Underneath it all,
Where nobody...

Phantom Anthology
Was my pleasure to paradise,
On the paranormal plateau,
Existential problems paramount,
Phasing through the grooves,
Making moves into the meta-universe,
Provides me proving grounds,
Echoes of a sound I make,
Rippling off your rested peace,
We seek to suffer off of others,
Harder for the Father,
Watching His world crumble,
Underneath my crawling skin,
Part of what is written is read,
Off your eyes to stick to them,
Infected in so many dimensions,
Driven into a darker...
