Waiting For News
Driven by foggy elements tonight
Fundamental chaos feels so right
On the brink of perpetual rage
Been living in this virtual stone age
Love is dying in fields of death
Strung out on cosmic angel breath
Figure out where the line ends
Manipulating light with subtle bends
Selling promises to achieve faith
Visited by another shady wraith
About to turn off this tired engine
While the world continues to spin
Murder committed by random design
Stay tuned for the story on channel nine
Where...

What a dumb shit!
When he found out how things really were between men & women
He was shocked how cutthroat both sexes were to one another
It was a drag to find out that everybody knew all the same shit and everyone played it off like it was nothing
All the things that go unsaid
They get shoved into your guts like cutlery
All the bullshit sex etiquette
It's like a miniature cold war
What a bunch of lies & ego trips
That's why all these people were so freaked out about each other
It's one big club
The look away & laugh club
A revelation the size...

There's Nothing Wrong with a Good Affair
Affairs are great
Cheating, an art
Could dress this up
But it is what it is
What it isn't either
Look ..
Attraction happens
Sometimes you're looking
Or else it finds you
Whatever the case
Mind your business
One rule only
DON'T GET CAUGHT
Could dress this up too
Choose not to
Full Stop

vicious invitation black is the way morbid spirits
they can see your intentions
already in line to rectify the wrongs
growing tired of being amis
letting go of my need
the Grigori watch carefully
i've intervened on their behalf
turn time's attention forward
be kind to my heart
suffering the red walls of denial
a maze I'm lost in

Juicy Lies
He cried wolf but now he weeps
All those lies caught up to him real quick
Meanwhile others are suffering from hate crimes
The world can be an ugly place but some people are sick
Was it for the attention? The spotlight?
Well now everybody knows he’s a liar and a fraud
And for the purpose of what? I just don’t understand
The truth revealed itself to break down this odd of facade
It’s all a mess, none of this makes sense
I guess sometimes fame creates some greed
Trying to play a victim says a lot about character
People are...

Stop the negativity
Through this cycle of life there will be some ENTITY'S hell bent, on destroying our lives and will be unofficially trying, desperately to destroy another person's life in real life times. For sure it's easy to recognize those who walk around, with nothing but negativity, pushing there own hidden agenda pushing out nothing, but pure propaganda and lies. Still trying to install a formula to poison, your mind thoughts and insight and beliefs, that they are here for you but yet It was nothing but more lies. 🤨 Yet there are those who continue to live on the plantation, still believing the...

DECEIVER, SEDUCER
He was her deceiver;
she was his believer,
past any retriever,
and became receiver
of seed, then conceiver
She became producer
of child by seducer,
her good name's traducer.
she was his believer,

Witch
Evil candy in a deceitful wrapper
Unknown inside, beautiful outside
She may seem innocent and meek
all cruel deception, vile disguise ...
Servant of the devil, Seductress
The blackness of the soul
Abyss of fiery eyes attracts
You need this punishment
A one way ticket to Hell
You are caught up in her spell
Unknown inside, beautiful outside
She may seem innocent and meek
all cruel deception, vile disguise ...
Servant of the devil, Seductress
The blackness of the soul
Abyss of fiery eyes attracts
You need this punishment
A one way ticket to Hell
You are caught up in her spell

she tells them she's not looking to get involved
that they should just keep it moving
they insist they aren't either
...they just want to be friends
& isn't it just conceit on her part...to presume
but she's so often been driven down this well-traveled road
...knows where it probably leads
...& how it will likely end
her constant response to this accusation
to a sense of over-inflated ego
...is always the same
it might be...I am too full of myself...

Union 404
There once was a vast republic
that for its britches got too big
with a minority so thick...
they voted for a Jersey pig.
That pig was a demented dope
with no way that we couldn't tell
except if you abandoned hope
or got your news straight outta hell.
Dead, at two hundred and fifty,
which is what Krasnov meant to see
with MAGA being so unthrifty
in disregard for liberty!
Some ships of state, instead, are planes,
too afflicted by a gremlin
spiking headway in falsehood chains...

To Be Wanted
To Be Wanted
No one wants
to be
the consolation prize,
not to be
the one
in her eyes,
not to have
that central
core space,
the reason
the moonlight
wakes up on her face.
The boxes
she keeps
in her underwear drawer
are filled
with the letters
of dreams of still more.
And every sad look
of having
just settled
reminds
of fourth place,
not even medaled.

A false pretense of sisterhood
With age comes wisdom,
maybe small relief
in unmooring harbored secrets
that help to ease into
a new plane
of existence
of being mindful
Personally, I try(hope) for
selflessness,
but am ok with
practicing generousity
of the smallest kind.
Striving for self improvement
while healing my own heart's wounded scars
Becoming lighter,
so grace is what flourishes,
while still giving my darkness
its own due time
I understand...
