Mayonnaise Jar
Forgiveness is not a word that was in his vocabulary.
At least, I had never seen him show any. Even now, as he sat looking at the empty mayonnaise jar across the table from him I knew what was coming. I was used to it. First would be the customary list of expletives that would stream from his mouth. These were getting fresher as the days went on. Next, the said jar would be sent flying across the room, perhaps against a wall, maybe even at me if I was unlucky enough. Either way, it would end up shattering and I would be expected to pick up the pieces after being told I was useless,...

Listen mate,
you can hide your silver in dirt
but it won't tarnish,
unlike the human mind.
think about it.
You say you're in love?
First of all,
is she in love with you too?
or is it you two???
*laughs out loud*
Lord have mercy!
Wait a moment,
Must you be the one to hold her?
you wanted to be the only one,
right?
Not to bash you but
...is that possible even?
Truth be told,
She's just an ordinary whore.
..and whores rarely think about love,
I'm afraid.
Dude, ...

SEGMENTS OF LOST TIME
Its funny how what we once thought was going to be forever suddenly it becomes apart of our memories till they become apart of our inner imaginations locked away within the deepest part of our minds, even sometimes they have a way to invade your dreams at night bringing you a sleepless night of tears within your eyes giving you an overwhelming feeling that is even harder to explain as the hurt and pain digs deeper into your brain.

The remains of my heart
In your arms…Edenheart.
Fire heart or ice cold.
A soothing sooth finds a way to soothe,
You.
Crazy-love like lazy-love will only fall to pieces.
Never love like you don’t even need it.
Grieving widows weep as willows,
Wishing they were once more with their lost Princes.
A forest without sound is beautiful-still.
Like the mountains above,
Beauty remains.
I would climb a thousand steps if you and I could remain the same.
Centuries come and go.
Love remains.
You and I are worth it or worthless. ...
Fire heart or ice cold.
A soothing sooth finds a way to soothe,
You.
Crazy-love like lazy-love will only fall to pieces.
Never love like you don’t even need it.
Grieving widows weep as willows,
Wishing they were once more with their lost Princes.

Beauty remains.

Centuries come and go.
Love remains.
You and I are worth it or worthless. ...

In The Darkness
Such a long time in the dark
Searching for a light that doesn't really exist
Trying desperately to keep head above water
And mind whole and unbroken
Dragged down by daily worries and anxieties
That take your mood and dive bomb it
Into oblivion
Still fighting but starting to realize that it is a
Losing battle that I fight
And with the realization comes a deep sense of doom
What does the future hold
Where do I go from here
I'm lost in my own mind and feeling like I'm being pulled
Into a deep dark place where the light cannot...
Searching for a light that doesn't really exist
Trying desperately to keep head above water
And mind whole and unbroken
Dragged down by daily worries and anxieties
That take your mood and dive bomb it
Into oblivion
Still fighting but starting to realize that it is a
Losing battle that I fight
And with the realization comes a deep sense of doom
What does the future hold
Where do I go from here
I'm lost in my own mind and feeling like I'm being pulled
Into a deep dark place where the light cannot...

Standing at the precipice
So here I am.
Is this it?
All I have to give,
To live,
For this?
Decision time.
Write a rhyme,
Or right a wrong.
Find a song.
Speak a line.
Sign goodbye on the dotted line…
Do not say why if you do not understand.
By now I guess you never will.
I have spent a life-time running up that hill
And for what?
My lot is broken pieces;
Memories of people’s speeches.
The lies they told,
I am already cold,
To the ways of humanity.
Long time been a ghost.
I save today for a better time....

Define Reality
Dreams are reality
Undiluted authenticity
Yet when I wake
Painful hallucination
Tenacity shattered
Have I ever mattered
Conclusion skeptical
Not really shocking
Supposedly impervious
Looks can be devious
Regard more closely
Elevate introspection
My spirit decimated
Emotion annihilated
I strive to exist all day
Failure come evening
I sleep, succor for me
Now living my reality
Undiluted authenticity
Yet when I wake
Painful hallucination
Tenacity shattered
Have I ever mattered
Conclusion skeptical
Not really shocking
Supposedly impervious
Looks can be devious
Regard more closely
Elevate introspection
My spirit decimated
Emotion annihilated
I strive to exist all day
Failure come evening
I sleep, succor for me
Now living my reality

Death is written on every page
Death is written on every page
Black sun on a sea of ash.
Darkness falls; light is not coming back.
The raven calls in the midnight hour.
All that is left in the garden are uprooted flowers.
Summer is dead like the corpse of time.
Frozen in place; bound to ground within twine.
The little lights no longer shine.
All is darkness in the land of the blind.
Tears mark the route he took,
To a place without any good luck.
The tricks are played like a funeral dirge.
All is dirt.
All around are the...

Hells king
I reign in all towns quickly to me they hail it doesnt matter male or female they live for me iam all they will see
Children will live with neglect friends and family will loose all respect im their only priority household authority they live for me iam all they will see
The income they earn for me it all burns family necessities are of no concern they try and break free i wait patiently to me they return they love how i burn
Im the king of corruption crashing them into my wall of destruction
On me they will feast like hungry beast call in the priest i left them deceased...
