Buried With The Dead
Not even trying to conceal their behavior
Spreading deceit right in front of our eyes
Claiming the title of some pseudo savior
Arrogance is born from these ruthless lies
Pathetic old man clinging to spiteful ways
Entitlement provides a lust for holding power
Monsters remain loyal by killing off the strays
Watching it all go down from his ivory tower
Rats infest this land that once housed the free
Memories are painted in needless bloodshed
Liberty hangs lifeless from some forgotten tree
Seems all hope has been buried with the...

collision course
counting my breaths with dread in my veins
Inhale deeply and exhale
with the knowledge I can't control myself
Decisions made alter my course
with a need so deep I reach
colliding with shame
reaching for the dark to cover me
a flickering star at midnight
embedded with pain I sin
my fear tells me I will never change
and paints terrible scenarios of how it will play out
my brokenness plain for all to see
so bare a feeling I cringe
unbearable knowing you're going to crash
and can do nothing to stop it ...

Intrusive thoughts
I was on the top
of a Civil War fort
with no guardrails
as the Georgia
sky shone cold
blue sun at my
wind-chapped face
I looked over the side
and spent the next
10 minutes imagining
if I accidentally
cannonballed off
the ramparts
to the
grass/cement/tour guide
below
Intrusive thoughts
Brain burps
little blips of
cerebral gas
and tonight
we broke the
bed frame
then put
the mattress
on the floor
to sleep
but my...

There once upon time
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ there once upon a time ⌚ that a child was placed in children services. His file was created to hide his history yet this same child was placed in adoption agency. 😔 For this same child got adopted by a good family, who decided to adopt a child cause their own children were grown and on their own. From the outside appearance he seems normal polite well-mannered a child anybody will want. But beneath the surface he had a deep dark 🌑 secret of the evil hidden behind a smile of a child. 😊 One-day the...

Stop Smiling
I
Am
A
Wreck
Bruised and discarded like those old ships
You found me and now what?
Why do you smile?
Everyone passes me by and not give a damn
Not …A…Damn!
You smiled at me
You reached for me and…and
What am I supposed to do?
You don’t understand
I’m a wreck
Your light hurts me
Stop! Smiling!
“Beautiful”
Me?
Beautiful?
Does he not see the bruises I carry?
This eye is black and blue
I did not fall
STOP..SMILING!
It’s starting to rain now
I can feel it...

Dirty Ace of Hearts
Channeling you
Looking everywhere
Then suddenly
You appeared
A dirty version
Former self
Turned out
Struggling to survive
Your immaculate conception
Poisoned on the avenue
Splintered and struck
I had choices
Take you home
Bathe you in sanctity
Or leave you wounded
For the next John
To worship you
Make you into his likeness
Only to fail desperately
As he won't know
What I...

meadow predators
the thing to remember
about wolves
sleek beasts that they are
is that sheep
don't see their teeth
until they're going for the throat

INSPIRED BY 'PRIMAL NEEDS'
I drive you hard against the wall,
my tool nails you, I give you all
the naked lust, that's been pent up
In clothed chaste daytime, like a tup.
We're both in unshamed nakedness,
you smell of your wet readiness.
Like a dog with an on-heat bitch,
my lust is roused to fever pitch.
You confided your inner need
and your yearning to do the deed,
Taking a submissive part
as I drive your long legs apart.
A deed where there's no lying back,
No leisured fumbling in the sack.
Like steel when it is...

Dead Inside
to say i'm utterly
devastated is an
understatement
i feel crushed
The day after
i saw our home
will be closing
its doors i was
told Two of my
supportworkers
will have to stop
due to protocols
and regulations
the government
who Wants more
money & power
they always do
it means i'll lose
3/4 of my support
system including
the deep site my
lifeline & you guys
everything familiar
feels like i'm walking
on...
