Lost In The Echo Chamber
I heard it once before
I heard it again and again
From my favorite shows
And on Facebook from my friends
Intelligent older white men
Dressed in nice expensive suits
It all makes so much sense
Even though this isn't news
They tell me what to think
They explain it really well
It's definitely legitimate
I assure you, I can tell

MOUTHFUL OF KNIVES
What does the body do with a wound it cannot close?
A memory that just won't fade , a dream that replays a thousand times that you can't run from!
Thoughts that drown and swallow you from the inside out.
The wind shreds its own breath, bleeding rust between its teeth. Oh the taste of Iron ! All too familiar, all too real.
A mouth unhinges. Not to scream, not to pray—just to split, broken thoughts, empty.
Something shatters under the skin—bone, voice, meaning— lost , no where to hide.
a hymn reduced to marrow, an altar eaten from the inside out.
A stone...
A memory that just won't fade , a dream that replays a thousand times that you can't run from!

A mouth unhinges. Not to scream, not to pray—just to split, broken thoughts, empty.

The Silence of Regret
My pain learned not to forget
Even though I have
I’ve stumbled
I’ve fallen
All my bruises are deep-rooted in despair
What will become of me?
Every expectation
Has become an exercise in futility
Nihility
Will I become a victim of obscurity?
I don’t remember the sound of my own laughter
I look for her in corners and shadows
Her presence fading, unfelt
Exhaustion attempts to befriend me
Stealing precious moments
He’s been present for far too long
Torn between...

My intentions for you though are pure
You look so pretty I deduced you from Ethiopia
So tempted but I am also aware
They haven't charged me with any illegal affair
It's a terrible foul I possessed your soul
You left Seoul all the way from Korea
By night fall I'll arrange the loudest rave to honor you Honoria
Take as much vodka shot till you pass out in euphoria
Dashing but desperate lady with golden heart Ms. Honoria
You are in the safe hands of my manager whom you may address as Sinclair
All through the night,...

Paintings
Wounds that continue to grow in size,
Over the years, animosity accumulated.
Falsehoods that I wasn't hurt— but I was.
Self-loathing monologues, now familiarized.
Even after painted lines, I remain hungry, unsatisfied.
Sadness turned into anger,
Bid farewell when numbness replaced her.
For hollow and numb—that’s what my remains are called now.
How did I get here?
I am not certain how.
At first, I thought an act overtook my mind
Desires to be special, like an actress who prettily cries.
Then, my passion for painting...
Over the years, animosity accumulated.
Falsehoods that I wasn't hurt— but I was.
Self-loathing monologues, now familiarized.
Even after painted lines, I remain hungry, unsatisfied.
Sadness turned into anger,
Bid farewell when numbness replaced her.
For hollow and numb—that’s what my remains are called now.
How did I get here?
I am not certain how.
At first, I thought an act overtook my mind
Desires to be special, like an actress who prettily cries.

Chaotic Seizures..Her Aura Phase
Thrusting, squeezing with a rhymic pulsing
Screaming and moaning, her heart rate increased
Deja vu, her body now convulsing
Euphoric tension soon to be released
Fulfilled with a sense of intense pleasure
Tremoring and violently shaking
Releasing her body's golden treasure
Before collapsing from this love making
Pandemonium and chaos ensued
As the film crew quickly rushed to the set
Panic filled the room as the mood subdued

Fading Away Our Love (collab with Vision of Insanity)
I knew the end
Before it has started
A cold wind
Freezes my heart
And the pain tears us apart
Always weeping
inside my chest
I had to tell him
I couldn't string this along
Our two hearts were once one
Now only emptiness
I call home
Our time will fade
The end of all today
A blackened sun
Shines my next day
As the stars come out
I want to be with you
But the next day
Realization shows through
We were no good together
You know this to be true
Nothing harder ...
Before it has started
A cold wind
Freezes my heart
And the pain tears us apart
Always weeping
inside my chest
I had to tell him
I couldn't string this along
Our two hearts were once one
Now only emptiness
I call home
Our time will fade
The end of all today
A blackened sun
Shines my next day
As the stars come out
I want to be with you
But the next day
Realization shows through
We were no good together
You know this to be true

Here and There
So fearless
Nothing can startle
Nor made me shiver
I fully stepped on the throttle
Without an ounce of fear
I am totally lost
The path I took led me to nowhere
My empty bottle
I am holding for life which is very dear
I've seen it if not all
Then almost every unpleasant thing my dear
I've heard worst
Through the years
From the series and episodes
Of all the sort of thing you may hear
Am only grateful to the Almighty Who sent me down here
I looked all set like I am heading somewhere...
Nothing can startle
Nor made me shiver
I fully stepped on the throttle
Without an ounce of fear
I am totally lost
The path I took led me to nowhere
My empty bottle
I am holding for life which is very dear

In the land of freedom
you're free to live or,
even better, leave or let
yourself be sent away.
Better not let yourself be bold.
Better not let yourself be cold.
Better not let yourself be in the fold.
Believe in yourself in being gold.
Better not let yourself be in hold.
Better not let yourself set in as mold.
Better not let yourself be sold.
Don't...
Believe what you've always been told.
In the land of freedom
you're just an alien that will
never reach the point of...

Eternal You
I stand here naked
alone
afraid
forlorn upon
life’s glistening blade.
Shadows loom near
old and new
restless all
beyond clear view.
My bleeding feet cry
plead for steps
seeking pulse of
true hearts breath.
My shaking hand
does reach for thee
throughout all storms
come dance with me.
For lifelong meaning:
two for two
well bathed in cleansing
eternal you.

Sky intro the STORM not willing to hide...Incoming tide, always pulls the unwanted in...EVENTIDE hues of dusk, not to trust. ENDING day, last of ENDING light of sight. Crawling on the otherside beanth of earth's belly of another kind of hell your shoes fill & fell upon. Paint strokes a crepuscular sky...Twilight maelstrom image...Darken visual depths...Dark holds such a abyss of discovery. Succumbing is the dimension of a sunset, well knowing it's place & time the universe has given the light of warmth. Fangs that punch the piercing swallowed taste of metallic red of blood, reign...
