Make Our Garden Bloom
whispers live in shadows deep
souls dwell promises to keep
wreaths of dried roses enchanted
hearts make our garden bloom
Stars sing out songs above
melodies I remember so well
dusts now mere echoes of love
distant though mine dwell
barren stark isolation
the garden once vibrant
colours and sights wonderful
is bare dead soil dry untended
make our garden bloom again
purple magenta red on green
season's turn let flowers dance
eternal make our garden bloom
don't fear night or sorrow's...
souls dwell promises to keep

colours and sights wonderful
is bare dead soil dry untended
make our garden bloom again
purple magenta red on green
season's turn let flowers dance
eternal make our garden bloom
don't fear night or sorrow's...

Zion
Mourning air whispering over me
You were all mine seven months ago
I was denied entry
Zion
Will I see you again?
Each day of mine is closing without light
Where will I rest my head for my eternity?
You were all mine seven months ago
I was denied entry
Zion
Will I see you again?
Each day of mine is closing without light
Where will I rest my head for my eternity?

Selena was a singer and she has been dead for three decades.
She was very talented and was murdered after being betrayed.
A former friend gunned Selena down.
She died and is buried in the ground.
The killer worked for Selena and she decided to steal.
After that lady was fired for theft, she decided to kill.
That terrible woman deserved to lose her job.
Selena didn't deserve to die or to be robbed.
It's sad to know that Selena is gone forever.
If you're wondering when she'll be forgotten, the answer is never.

Deep Within
As my mind reflects
voices from within
tell me to soul search
a personal energy
that resonates
changing my perspective
as multiple beings
alert me when my time will end

death’s siren call
follow me…I know a place
where we can be alone”
your winter breath against my ear
fingertips tracin the hollow of my throat
a trail of promise to fulfill my need
your lips hover near mine almost grazin
electric charge of unmet desire
causin my body to strain towards yours
while you leave me suspended in longin
your touch like ice across my skin
movin with deliberate slowness
palm restin on my chest
your pressure makin me yearn for stillness
my heart falterin beneath your cold caress
I’ve poured myself...

Flesh Hovel Lane
They once rode out, for the fox hunting, Quorn
Over the hedges and fields, with passengers borne
But the old, the unfit, the weary and the lame
They'd all be butchered, down Flesh Hovel Lane
Spent, they were knackered and given no quarter
Led down the lane and sent to their slaughter
It's a gruesome story and it's a terrible tale to tell
For the hounds of the hunt, were always fed well
The butchery's long lost in the macabreness of yore
And the abattoir's gone, by Pillings Lock on the Soar
But it's still a dead end, still narrow,...

Cemetery
Practically everyday I walk through my local cemetery
Peaceful, tranquil, relaxing and time stands still
I have respect when entering
I always remember not to point at a grave, it will make your finger rot
Also, do not count the cars in a funeral procession,
for the amount of cars you count, will be the day that you perish sometime during that year
As I heard these superstitions from my elders, I never dared to explore these wise tales
One day as I awoke from my restful sleep, I began shivering uncontrollably
I just could not shake this feeling ...

Each Time I Look At The Picture
Each time I look at
the picture of you
with that smile, it
hurts to miss you
so much even today.
A year ago today,
a drunk driver
murdered you.

Dumbstruck
darkness draws so close
I should have something to say

Sleepless Dreams
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️ For I know some people's may and will take this message, in different kinds of way as it is just, a mental stimulation of silent thoughts. FROM sleepless nights when I can't just turn my mind off from the deepest thoughts, that creeps in the dark deepness of my mind. For sure it's necessary to understand that tomorrow isn't a promise to anyone, for sure what I'm saying is facts not fiction. For sure it will sound morbid, to some people's yet there are those who has felt these real genuine...

Lucidity
God in the Sky
Is the same as the God in Eye
My Covenant is Clear
I Hear beyond Purgatory's Pond
The Bond is Solidified
Through the Ancient Pillars
Of Humility and Respect
The building blocks of Wizdom
Thus is the Journey of Divine Intelligence
Reconciling the Human Experience
Eye am the Risen from the Mud
The Cosmically Driven
The 3-D Chess Player looking at His End Game
The Reveler...the Leveler
Squaring Loose Ends
The Reliever of Lucy's Noose
The Maker of...

Please Disappear
Wake up, I want your lies
Don't die, it won't be nice
Is that what I've been waiting for?
Now I saw your face
You awoke!
You didn't die, it isn't so wonderful after all
Is that what I've been waiting for?
No.
Please disappear forever
Don't die, it won't be nice
Is that what I've been waiting for?
Now I saw your face
You awoke!
You didn't die, it isn't so wonderful after all
Is that what I've been waiting for?
No.
Please disappear forever
