Devil in the details
though I can make the world bend..
she said "forgive me for my criticism,
but why are you so comfortable being forgotten"
Protection from the sins beckoning
I can rip the seams from everything
open the hole and watch as everyone falls in
lemmings are more unpredictable...
I don't focus on my problems because they keep me grounded,
God of the brokenhearted
God of the mindless
I'm the Devil in the details
you can be the peasent in the garden
snake bite suicide,
now it's become your problem
I don't want be that...

Bar...
.. ...
Bar...
Voices from the tables
Plain conversation
Obvious talk
Bar...
Wasting my manliness
Wasting my time
Life is alive outside
Like acoustic guitar strings
Like an answering machine
Would the waitress call to say hi ?
She might become a must in the night
Longing for a song
Longing for a poem
Bar ...
Bar on the corner
Evening fading away too fast
Over there outside
... ...

Boring Chronicles
It's dark at 5pm
Bored
Shaved my beard for something to do
Expensive aftershave lotion applied
Smelling pretty damn good
Still nowhere to go
Full Stop

Silent
.. ... ...
Silent
10:00 PM
Cool breeze...
Cool breeze after the rainy day
Residential area
One streetlight...
Only one streetlight among the trees
Zombies...
Zombies having a zombie apocalypse party
Halloween...
Zombies dancing ... trick or treat
Silent
Friday night
The avenue...
The avenue seems to be paralyzed
Windscreen...
My car...
My car taking me home
And life...
And life moving so slowly
As if ...
As if following my fate
......

Newness
I miss the new
I miss those firsts
Kisses, touches, tastes
I miss the ability to say
"Let me try, I've never had it"
Curse my curiosity
Today I feel numb to all
That I seem to know
Sunsets seem to be
The only things that seem new
Each and every time a different artist
I wish that food wasn't predictable
That people weren't either
I wish oh how I wish for it
I miss those firsts
Kisses, touches, tastes
I miss the ability to say
"Let me try, I've never had it"
Curse my curiosity
Today I feel numb to all
That I seem to know
Sunsets seem to be
The only things that seem new
Each and every time a different artist
I wish that food wasn't predictable
That people weren't either
I wish oh how I wish for it

Only for Falcons
Sitting around getting drunk and high and
Philosophizing like I wasn’t going
To be turned to ash one day
but no use being morose
open every door
and we got 27 dimensions
or was that just how many
times something couldn’t
be explained away?
help is not getting
paid to do
something
based here right on
earth with every
one else
you thought this lazy
approach to the
beast was
going to
work
out
somehow
well, now that the
truth has...

PEACE
Sometimes I'm afraid,
Afraid of life
Afraid of death.
But when all is said and done and nothing is left,
When the world has taken its part,
When the world has broken my heart.
When life seems to pass me by, when I take that plunge but fail to fly,
I become something else as I enter reality,
my thoughts come fast and escapes as brutality.
The heat rises from within, my inner strength is fierce.
The darkness fades and my words will pierce.
My instincts become sharper, my nerves on edge.
Like the Phoenix I rise from the ash and I tackle...
Afraid of life
Afraid of death.
But when all is said and done and nothing is left,
When the world has taken its part,
When the world has broken my heart.
When life seems to pass me by, when I take that plunge but fail to fly,
I become something else as I enter reality,
my thoughts come fast and escapes as brutality.
The heat rises from within, my inner strength is fierce.
The darkness fades and my words will pierce.
My instincts become sharper, my nerves on edge.
Like the Phoenix I rise from the ash and I tackle...

Terribility in Times Square (At 5am)
all ways wasted life tryin' to get
something for nothing, then the
chilling wind of death come by
to turn world in-side-out.
no body make no mis'takes no more.
A'least so far as eye can tell, in that
killing moment that makes big'boys
cry like wee squalling babes, make po'mama
crazy.
well o well, let that be a lesion to ye.
(Tired of ooze and drip'trickle it be).
Now, only thee heart'felt agony make
see nothing for something is better for free.
...

Ich Bin Ewig
We surround ourselves with glorious gifts
women, men, material things
Hate each other over simple tiffs
men, women, material gains
It's world I've grown to despise,
the boredom, the lackluster movie moments in reality
the garden of eden across my neighbors property
it's all a joke in disguise
petty mingling to outshine the other
small wallet thick girth
Even God has hidden himself, ashamed and petrified of what we've become
of what he created
the apple, the fig or whatever you believe was the forbidden fruit...
it...

Shit Parade
He was forever in the
hustle, he didn’t know
right from
wrong
think about your
heroes
now
oh, you don’t have
those anymore
okay, so you’ve
actually grown a
little bit
getting stymied in
this life, fuck boys
not paying me
my respect
I’m not going to
tell you twice,
there’s this other
dividend that’s
owed,
but you’re too
broke to pay
it
and I’m too old and
bored to care
anymore

Bottom of the pits
So things were as they should be
Drunk as a skunk
Waking up this time at home
Not on a bench
Or lost in the arms of a
Drugged-up wench.
Everything blurred
Ready for another round
With his dearest friend
Southern Comfort
Who brought a moment
Of oblivion
But the demons still
Always around
For the time being no respite,
No comfort to be found.
Drunk as a skunk

Of oblivion
But the demons still
Always around
For the time being no respite,
No comfort to be found.

Appearances.
She was dressed decent
As always, obedient
But, surprise
This night she was
High -
Something new
But not to those few
Who really really
Knew her.
As always, obedient
But, surprise
This night she was
High -
Something new
But not to those few
Who really really
Knew her.
