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.

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

unravel the night
my death to hunger has begun
as my soul pulls away
greedy flesh peeled back
underneath nothing but a pure heart
animating this body
clearly in comes the pain
of holding on with a strong will
secretly wishing but fearing my demise
exiting when I am able
scouring the heavens for my place
perhaps the abyss
I've met the void of too much understanding there
of what it is to hurt
screaming in agony to no listening ear
and yet I've heard the noise
felt it on my body
god damn I don't want to do another...

A Warning To The Lost
Turn! Turn!
Turn from your wicked ways!
For I tell you, look up!
The time is near for the Lord's return.
Do not bury your head in the sand.
For if one does this,
I tell you, their body shall soon
join their head;
and their soul shall be tortured
by the fiery flames of hell
forever; never ceasing.
Turn!
But you say, "When the time arrives, then I will turn."
No! That time is now!
For death is lurking;
awaiting your last breath.
Death tells you, "Don't worry, you still have time to turn. ...
Turn from your wicked ways!
For I tell you, look up!
The time is near for the Lord's return.
Do not bury your head in the sand.
For if one does this,
I tell you, their body shall soon
join their head;
and their soul shall be tortured
by the fiery flames of hell
forever; never ceasing.
Turn!
But you say, "When the time arrives, then I will turn."
No! That time is now!
For death is lurking;
awaiting your last breath.
Death tells you, "Don't worry, you still have time to turn. ...

sunrises and monsters
feeling the arc of pain playing out on my weary bones
who screams no not now
strong and willful my soul batters at the constraints of hurt
entering the need of the moment
it needs me to be strong
wrestling with demons I know well
sharpens my instincts
the spirits are restless
and i with them
my soul aches with a feeling
you know the ache
the one that keeps you up at night
fearing sleep cause of the monsters I will meet there
they're waiting for me
entertain the feeling it gets brighter by day...

Mourning Thoughts
As we've walked hand-in-hand
through the joys and tears
We began with lasting friendship
only strengthened by the years.
Thank you for hearing my hopes
understanding my dreams
For filling my heart with joy
and loving me without end.
Eternally yours
Nevermore
