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...
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

Trying to play a victim says a lot about character
People are...

Bullshit
I don't fall prey to bullshit
I don't like fakers and frauds
When you know they're using A.I.
It's their lies that come out flawed.
Pictures can often deceive.
Compliments often betray.
It's easy to fool a fool.
When you steal their hearts away.
I don't like fakers and frauds
When you know they're using A.I.
It's their lies that come out flawed.
Pictures can often deceive.
Compliments often betray.
It's easy to fool a fool.
When you steal their hearts away.

Have You Seen My Wife ? - a true story
Have you seen my wife?
the creaking floors, the hollow walls,
the garden where he planted beer cans
that bloom without joy.
She was the spark in his life once,
or so he thought
a face a caramel tart,
a voice like honey,
a promise dressed in silk.
But promises break,
don’t they?
Their house became a carnival,
not of laughter but of strangers.
Friends from overseas filled the guest rooms,
toasting her beauty,
praising the home he built.
Their cheers drowned the whispers
he refused...
the creaking floors, the hollow walls,
the garden where he planted beer cans
that bloom without joy.
She was the spark in his life once,
or so he thought
a face a caramel tart,
a voice like honey,
a promise dressed in silk.
But promises break,
don’t they?
Their house became a carnival,
not of laughter but of strangers.
Friends from overseas filled the guest rooms,
toasting her beauty,
praising the home he built.
Their cheers drowned the whispers
he refused...

Spiders
Clans of
venomous spiders
nurtured her
from conception
Their black spiny
spindle of legs
wove her skin
of immortal silk
decades ago
Spinnerets
sparkle like
poisonous ornaments
from the wall of
nightshade that
blooms in
her bedroom
Innocence embodied
in a toxic
withered frame
Lean in a
smidge closer
Her web of
white gold
sparkles like
sugared crystals
You know
She needs one
reason to sting
The lingering
scent of red
in her web ...

XOXO
All I know is
be real keep integrity
takes too much energy
to level down for a snake
When the grass low
I’m good it's cool
when I’m not
it's chaos folks levitate
Run don’t walk
mowed at that growl
a howl’s far worse
nape hairs stood on ends
If you got me fucked up
was a person
I’d collect bodies
not friends
Steel fiber
sharpens teeth
off with their heads
Queen of Hearts salt remarks
Overstand I’m a different pedigree
seasoned lone wolf
murder to eat by Nature
no false starts ...
be real keep integrity
takes too much energy
to level down for a snake
When the grass low
I’m good it's cool
when I’m not

Run don’t walk
mowed at that growl
a howl’s far worse
nape hairs stood on ends
If you got me fucked up
was a person
I’d collect bodies
not friends
Steel fiber
sharpens teeth
off with their heads

Overstand I’m a different pedigree
seasoned lone wolf

still salty
I thought for the longest time
that I saw something in you
...I was wrong
you were as empty
as the Dead Sea
that I saw something in you
...I was wrong
you were as empty
as the Dead Sea

Loving You was a Lying Game
Loving you was a lying game
truth and lies were all the same
I hovered near your made-up flame
blinded by my own grand passion
your love was painted without shame
whether it was a lie, didn't matter
your words delivered were so sincere
I loved you, worshipped your name
I saw through you when you smiled
through me to a woman I knew
she was my friend since I was a child
to her you transferred your love anew
beneath the colours of your love
you changed sheets and beds
you swore to the heavens above ...

Nothing to see here
It's madness.
You're insane.
One track mind.
Easy to train.
Lets play dress up.
On your knees.
Lets play doctor.
You're a disease.
Lambs to slaughter.
Muttons cheap.
All you herd.
Bleating sheep.
Lets play dumb.
Say no more.
Same old game.
Same old score.
Input, output.
Programmatic.
System error.
No one panic.
Robot.
That means slave.
Fit for purpose.
Not to save.

f**k Knows (F.K.) - Insurrection
blind hatred eating me alive
what pain does this define?
nothing that i will understand
perceptions crucified
asylum of my conscience
broken and cast aside
the truth my only solace
slaved by chains of blight
madness cadaverous anger
growing deep inside
these words Of antipathy
will never lose their might
paint another naked lie
to kill my foresight
i can see the sins you hide
this rage keeps me alive
fall to your knees i've come for you
vengeance - it will be mine
destroying all...

Spelling Conflict
Ancient witchery.
Sadist trickery.
Satan's symmetry, naked simile.
Makeshift mystery.
Clayman signaling.
Ba'al brilliantly, mages mimicking.
Baseless trinity.
Jaded litany.
Sage's ministry, Pagan industry.
Reigning villainy.
Lasik's visibly.
Sacred disbelief, waiting imagery.
Nation infantry.
Races lividly.
Making history, major chivalry.
Raided inquiry.
Neighbor's infamy. ...

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.
No one wants
