Bleeding Corpse
Seek under the bed,
Rummage for your mask of virtue,
You wear it well as you carry on
Living as though nothing ever happened.
Leaving your victim at sea, drowning
In the wake of your actions, suffering
Consequences beyond their control
Consumed by your wreckage.
Carry on, smile while you do so,
Savor your coffee, toast,
eggs, or whatever you had,
While another decays into a corpse.
Perplexed, unaware when you drove
That knife into their neck, where shoulder meets,
Tracing the blade along their body,
A...

Apate: Goddess of deceit
Let not
the
innocence
be misdirected
by
her words
Enchanting
though it is
to learn the wisdom
of a deity,
it is knowledge

Waiting for the Maytag Man - with "Adagio"
Like a phantom haunting the edges of its prey,
wandering the hall with a fractured ectoplasm,
creaking floors betray, heralding its presence
with its audacity on the souls of the meek,
like an echo screaming dripping down a drain,
with its claws digging into the flesh
leaving behind a trail of scars, and bleeding within,
listening to hypochondriacs screaming hysteria,
waiting for the Maytag man.
Like a virtuoso of cover, mastering deception,
hiding its corruption beneath a facade,
wandering freely, with a guise of...

The Naked Mind
No moral compass for a tendon of the naked mind
old stagnant haggard with a malignant tongue
now shredded Carrion for narcissistic Ravens
and a dozen dark angels wearing pork pie hats
haunting the memories of a potluck fortnight
planted with seeds of decadent debauchery

Pretend with Me - with "Adagio"
You could be the clown
And paint a smile on your face
Wide enough to reach your eyes
The same eyes that caress me
Haunting my flesh with their gaze
Coiling tentacles around my bones
Encircling me with needle and thread
And paint a smile on your face
Wide enough to reach your eyes
The same eyes that caress me
Haunting my flesh with their gaze
Coiling tentacles around my bones
Encircling me with needle and thread

tears in my sleep
all night
the clock
ticks away,
it keeps
up with
the tears
i lose
during my
night,
some i
can taste
in my
false
dreams,
there
is no
joy in
my undoing,
this pain
keeps
growing,
and in
the
morning
i will
wipe my
eyes
if i
have not
drowned
in
my sleep.

The garden
Tried to feed me an apple
He said it tastes sweet
Bite through the skin
Enjoy this treat
You got me in the garden
Wrapped around my legs
“Have some faith,
Take a bite” he begs
A snake in sheep’s clothing
He slithered into the grass
Darting his forked tongue
My heart felt short to collapse
Feeling the air dance around my skin
We’ve passed the point of no return
This ecstasy was truly a sin
A moment I’ll forever yearn
He said it tastes sweet
Bite through the skin
Enjoy this treat
You got me in the garden
Wrapped around my legs
“Have some faith,
Take a bite” he begs
A snake in sheep’s clothing
He slithered into the grass
Darting his forked tongue
My heart felt short to collapse
Feeling the air dance around my skin
We’ve passed the point of no return
This ecstasy was truly a sin
A moment I’ll forever yearn

WE THE PEOPLE ARE FED UP
ARMY OF STRONG OF MEN'S FOR WE ARE in economy MODE in the dark deepness of the hard times to come, with high prices and inflation, but yet I can't really understand, for the life of me. WHY some people's are still on the plantation. 😞 STILL believing that they are looking out for you as the Democrat party.😏 But yet I know some of those would disagree, 😕 with me yet you are entitled to your own opinions. For sure there is a question that can answer your questions, it's call the archives of research on everyone, that has ever been in politics even way back, when many...

Death Dons a Mask
For men shall be lovers of their own selves…..for of this sort, are they which creep into houses, and lead captive, silly women laden with sins, led away with diverse lusts…” 2 Timothy 3, 2-6
And what better way,
thought Death,
than to wear one as skin…
I shall call this one, “Jezebel”
and I have stripped her of bones
and what remains,
shall be stored in my pall
until……
I don her as my coat.
I will go to and fro
masquerading
luring
deceiving
until…..
this flesh rots away
like all the...

Gaslighting
instruments of narcissism, gaslighting
cold eyes analyzing one's insecurity
targeting those with compassion
tickling poetic desire with decadency
and manipulation controlling your mind...
toxic waste of humankind, gaslighting

Donny Boy
Oh, Donny boy the polls the polls are falling
From Red State to Blue they continue to slide
For you to drop out of the race people are calling
before your runaway train of lies goes off a mountain side
At one time in the Presidential race you were ahead
But, now your campaign is on it's death bed
At this rate
the only thing that can save it is if you win the debate
However, if the Moderators do a real time fact check
you might has well be arranging chairs of the Titanic's main deck
If you keep...

Tinseltown (collab with AfterSexDilemma)
Plastic people, faux life
Celebrities shine,
Amongst the pain & strife
An illusion of a directors thoughts
Cesspool in Eden
Pleasing the studio boss
Artificial in everything that's seen
Pictures of beauty
Reality is a dream
Never think more then you know
A testament to your image
Look your best, before the show
Wading in a shallow pool
Drink it up like a fool.
Trees a plenty and lost inside.
A forest, crazies, come to hide.
Hollywood, shining bright.
The stars,...
