Escaped or Set Free?
It roars at me from its restraints
Pleading to be released
Rattling its chains, its constraints
All who've seen it are deceased
It knashes its teeth, gnarls and growls
Wailing, like a wolf in search of prey
It rumbles, then lets forth firey howls
Urging, wishing to be thrown into the frey
I feel it burning me in times of conflict
Tearing my insides, forcing its way out
Pain is his pleasure, he lives only to inflict
I keep him caged, inside a bloody redoubt
Don't tease what you think is innate
Do...

EYE
EYE stumbled in front of the spring garden
EYE devoured its colors
how could EYE not?
EYE saw the troll in the corner
EYE focused only on its antagonism
EYE resented the persistence
of yet another specter
EYE didn’t want to acquiesce
Closing my eyes
I reminded myself darkness tries
to infringe on beauty
I planted those bulbs
I am mindful of not accepting
malice’s invitation
I let the troll fade into the background
I see the covetable...

Death of a Saint
I stopped in a forest for rest
A short respite from my taxing test
Tapestry of fate, my stitching is stressed
Braving foul foes amidst my glorious quest
Battered blades clash in exuberant dueling
The sound of steel sings, increasingly fueling
He is one with his sword, ultimate and ruling
The battle is his, and his efforts oh so grueling
His opponent lay dead, yet his honor he shan't taint
The noble knight met his fate, at the hands of "The Sword Saint"
His intentions are clear, the Saint's integrity is no feint ...

2nd class/1st class Stamp.
Though the writing was unintelligible.
It's smell,was discernible.
Heavy,"Old Spice" fume,consumed the patches of grease noticeable on the envelope,where my name and address identifying me,pleased me.
This fat cat used a 2nd class,rather than 1st class,stamp.
Typical!
A spiteful,wrathful Valentine's card,it posted to me.
A card,I didn't have too look hard,to see,who it was from.
Could it's behaviour towards me be my fault?
Did I lead it on?
I found it increasingly difficult to circumvent it's dishonesty,believe me.

Love lines.
So thin,his words have become.
Yet still,I continue to let him in.
You get what you deserve.
I heard.

Cinder Block Castle
I was taught by my father
How to build a fortress
A Cinder Block Castle
With high heartless walls
Where I play scratched records
On the tip of my flawed claws
Hoping for different endings
My insanity was given birth
Seeping into the concrete
Blooming poisonous flowers
A masquerade of nightshade
Herb veins of Spearmint
The color of vibrant jade
Tempting men to climb
Hand over suicidal hand
Trigger fingers shaped like bullets
Digging into the outdoor mortar
Stirring...

What you did
you came into my life like A thief in the night stealing things that were important to me your actions destroyed my ability to know the difference between love and hate my ability to know when I'm in a bad situation the things you did turned me into someone I didn't ask to be you took my choices away before I knew they were mine to have I despise you there were so many opportunities to make it right opportunities to not do it at all It fucks me up at times when I see the emotional and mental manipulation that was at play the amount of power I allowed you to have over me at that moment and as...

The Almost Instant Karma of Pampelmousse
sensory intake:
round
dimpled skin
pale yellow
patches of pink
citrus fruit in parking lot near dumpster
speculations:
may have rolled out of someone's bag
someone was on the way to the dumpster and dropped it
ideas:
1.pick it up and throw it in the dumpster
2.just kick it out of the way
NO! it could be a bomb!
a grapefruit bomb?
(rolling eyes at self)
yes! don't kick it. you could die
right oh, um, remember what you wrote on the board in your dorm
Trip on citric acid with the Grapefruit...

The Strawman Cult
The belief is that Christ is the Appeaser of the Father’s fury, influencing Him to act contrary to His real character. He supposedly shows mercy when it is not in His heart or nature to do so.” - F.W.
For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
How could Fred Write be right when most preachers lead with John 3:16?
This depiction of the majority Christianity in the book The Character of God appears to be for the purpose of isolating the movement...

FIGHTING
Was last night even real
Did I just make believe
Or dream, of a broken deal
That I was in a hole
Lights blinding my soul
Shining in my face
Couldn’t hide
No matter how hard I tried
Blankets ripped away
Cold air sucked in my lungs
Cruel words, heavy weight
Spat out statements
That no one should ever say
Beating my eardrums
Until light of day
The warmth of the night
Just
Stripped away
Did I just make believe
Or dream, of a broken deal
That I was in a hole
Lights blinding my soul
Shining in my face
Couldn’t hide
No matter how hard I tried
Blankets ripped away
Cold air sucked in my lungs
Cruel words, heavy weight
Spat out statements
That no one should ever say
Beating my eardrums
Until light of day
The warmth of the night
Just
Stripped away

Doorway
The memories won't drift away
the times we had will never fade
and I have so much more to say
but certain things get in the way
Disaster's always knocking at my door
She took my life away
She's taken everything
She took my heart away
She's ruined everything
(Chorus 1)
I cant have things that make me smile
and apparently I cant hide
anything that I feel inside
but that's okay I'll find a light
Disaster's always tearing down my door
She tries to heal my pain
but only...
the times we had will never fade
and I have so much more to say
but certain things get in the way
Disaster's always knocking at my door
She took my life away
She's taken everything
She took my heart away
She's ruined everything
(Chorus 1)
I cant have things that make me smile
and apparently I cant hide
anything that I feel inside
but that's okay I'll find a light
Disaster's always tearing down my door

Thorns
Thorns mourn the rose
clipped and displayed
to wilt and dispose
in a life and death trade
lost love gone
memories fade
thorns carry on
not lonely but neglected
not bitter but betrayed
not discouraged but rejected
forever unafraid
mourning the rose
clipped and displayed
clipped and displayed
to wilt and dispose
in a life and death trade
lost love gone
memories fade
thorns carry on
not lonely but neglected
not bitter but betrayed
not discouraged but rejected
forever unafraid
mourning the rose
clipped and displayed
