Trapped In A Religious Sect, Simeon's Story
His joints ached from the cold. Crunching up the empty coke can, he tossed it into the bin with a perfect throw and left the park.
He walked up Church Street and turned onto the High Street, chest tight with anger.
He didn’t like wandering around searching for people, as it reminded him of how he’d run along the Dorset cove in the middle of a heat wave, a boy of eight looking for an elderly gentleman and their wife, eager for news on estranged relatives.
He’d ended up by the fair marquee in the middle of the seaside resort, sweaty and thirsty and hungry....

Never Ending
The darkness surrounds me
It's getting so cold
I'm all alone
With no one to hold
My world is so empty
All that's left is pain
No sunshine to light my way
Just never ending rain
I drown in tears
My heart is crying
No one seems to notice
My soul is dying
Depression is here every day,
And it never goes away.
Go away! I yell into the dark,
As if someone is there.
I feel as if I'm a prisoner
In the dungeon's liar.
And as always, no one cares.
Do I dare?
Dare to care about...
It's getting so cold
I'm all alone
With no one to hold
My world is so empty
All that's left is pain
No sunshine to light my way
Just never ending rain
I drown in tears
My heart is crying
No one seems to notice
My soul is dying
Depression is here every day,
And it never goes away.
Go away! I yell into the dark,
As if someone is there.
I feel as if I'm a prisoner
In the dungeon's liar.
And as always, no one cares.
Do I dare?
Dare to care about...

Who I Am Today
My body is less then it was
Trying to shoot up with everything but love
I've tried hard even now, but I knew I'd never be enough
Out of my grasp you are a slippery slope
Learning, testing the strength of my rope
I have climbed mountains till I can't breath
Then fall into dispear buried beneath
Keeping My gates up, my cage up, you have my master key
I was weak, to late to see
That I would never be set free
From your chains that bind me to the sword and the stone but I'm no worthy king
You sing your...
Trying to shoot up with everything but love
I've tried hard even now, but I knew I'd never be enough
Out of my grasp you are a slippery slope
Learning, testing the strength of my rope
I have climbed mountains till I can't breath
Then fall into dispear buried beneath
Keeping My gates up, my cage up, you have my master key
I was weak, to late to see
That I would never be set free
From your chains that bind me to the sword and the stone but I'm no worthy king

WILL YOU BE READY TO RECIEVE
When love calls will you answer the call or will you stay behind the walls that you now call your home, a prison keeping out the outside world due to your heart being broken all because you trusted it to the wrong someone, who had other things upon there mind like to use you and abuse your heart and soul along with your mind.
When love...
When love...

THE CYCLE OF CHANGES
Have you ever felt lost and alone within a world full of folks but yet still feel in your soul that you are truly alone within the darkness of ones spiritual soul, for have you ever felt that you just dont fit into an society that doesnt truly understand that what your going through isnt something that you plan for its like riding an emotional rollercoaster to no end.
Have you ever had a dream that left you drain and dripping with sweat but yet and still...

Being Human
I am the sea
I am the storm
I am the essence of disaster
I am the wind
I am a hurricane
I am the design of a master
I am the mountain
I am a eruption
I am the signs before destruction
I am the nature
I am a blade of grass
I am the glue to make this word function
I am the light
I am a ray
I am the hope for justice
I am the dark
I am a shadow
I am the corruption at its finest
I am the storm
I am the essence of disaster
I am the wind
I am a hurricane
I am the design of a master
I am the mountain
I am a eruption
I am the signs before destruction
I am the nature
I am a blade of grass
I am the glue to make this word function
I am the light
I am a ray
I am the hope for justice
I am the dark
I am a shadow
I am the corruption at its finest

Heavier Still the Organelles (part 2)
She is wrapped in paper and citrus peels
The taste of her, divine
The smell of her, consumed by the pungent notes
The hell of it has taken over
I am sad for moments, then worked into a frenzy
On freshly cut lumber, we copulate, under iron weapons and hex blasts
Blanketed in the purple salvation of our spouse
Rising from deaths
Gown of weary trumpeters
Stockings of weary mistresses
Canons and forearms singing lonely eulogies to the love that tortures their innards.
The taste of her, divine
The smell of her, consumed by the pungent notes
The hell of it has taken over
I am sad for moments, then worked into a frenzy
On freshly cut lumber, we copulate, under iron weapons and hex blasts
Blanketed in the purple salvation of our spouse
Rising from deaths
Gown of weary trumpeters
Stockings of weary mistresses
Canons and forearms singing lonely eulogies to the love that tortures their innards.

THE LAST OF US
I'm tired of falling like Icarus
High above the crux of Olympus
I've lost the other half of us
Holding on to the last of us
I'm still addicted to the tragedy
Living in the past where the pain will not die
Where you walked away from the misery
And now I don't know if I'm dead or alive
When I look at the ghost
That has scorned me the most
I know I've FUCKED it up
And I can't LET it go
I won't pay the toll
If you won't go
Because if I drift away
I won't find my way back to you
NO
...

Pollyanna-Me
Today seems more objective about yesterday
Yet also quite
as subjective
for the moment
I feel like I'm stuck
in a b-movie
wanting to deeply
rewrite this plot
of tragic insanity
Isolation was not a cure
for my condition
it was a palliative
with dangers
for a
tender pair of
agoraphobes
with each their own
polyianna-modes
of faith in theology
so close in kind
enough to share
the yoke of love
yet not strong enough in
harsh isolation
...

THIS LADY OF THE NIGHT
Who is she this lady this woman of the night who spends hour upon hours sometimes days within the rain and heat then sleek and winter to just make her chips, while some give there hard earnings to some PIMP who didnt perform the tricks for the cash is only money made from paper as it holds very little material value or weight, but it will have you saleing your skin and flesh along with your soul with only the need to feed the mind of the soul that walks the mean streets that are so unforgiving. ...

Twisted
Can it be?
What is this that i feel?
An unpleasant tickling
A Lukewarm sensation
A blend of many
But different feelings
sweet and bitter
Joy and sadness
Laughter and cry
I wish we never crossed path
I wish I never behold her beauty
Nor feel the warmth of her soft palms.
It feels like i drunk a poison.
I can only hope it doesnt kill me
For whatever i feel
If it is love
It can only be forbidden.

Above all else I’m a human being, and sensibly so are you!
By Stanley Collymore
Don’t come anywhere near me with those daft notions
that because you are a woman and that women in
general have been treated rather abominably
for centuries that simply because of this
they should now in the 21st Century be afforded
a blanket moratorium, and expressly spared
jail time, for any crime, however serious
that may be and including intentional
murder, that they’ve self-servingly
and coldheartedly carried out for
their own personally connived
and violent malevolent ends.
And,...
