Goodbye
Rest In Peace to Myself.
The final call has been made, and with it, a quiet goodbye to what's been.
The Last salute offered to the memories, the moments, and the pieces of me that once lived here.
It's time to let go, to rest in the stillness that follows the end of a chapter.
The journey has closed, and the silence speaks now, but in that silence, there's peace.
The past is no longer mine to carry. It's time to rest.
Goodbye.

The Flayed Hand Cometh
Winds sigh low
Whispers slither in the dust
Fires wane, embers choke
The flayed hand cometh
Sky turns grey
Sun bleeds thin behind the veil
Roots twist, drinking deep
The flayed hand cometh
Ash coats the tongue
Water blackens in the wells
Statues weep from hollow eyes
The flayed hand cometh
Walls split wide
Stone and bone collapse alike
Screams dissolve into the void
The flayed hand cometh
Veins run dry
Flesh peels back in offering
A name unspoken stirs awake
The flayed hand...
Whispers slither in the dust
Fires wane, embers choke
The flayed hand cometh
Sky turns grey
Sun bleeds thin behind the veil
Roots twist, drinking deep
The flayed hand cometh
Ash coats the tongue
Water blackens in the wells
Statues weep from hollow eyes
The flayed hand cometh
Walls split wide
Stone and bone collapse alike
Screams dissolve into the void
The flayed hand cometh
Veins run dry
Flesh peels back in offering
A name unspoken stirs awake
The flayed hand...

Aftershokk
"Aftershokk"
I stand on the edge of bridges burnt
I'm choking on the lessons I've learnt
Will karma really bite me in the ass?
I'm trapped in sands of an hourglass
I watch my life through the filthy pain
Every bit of my love will slowly drain
Atrocity rushes in my soul to rupture
What will cease my lifetime of torture?
All I really need is a hollow point bullet
I'll muster up the courage & just pull it!
Will I feel my brains paint these walls?
Or sense the gravity as my body falls?
Because...
I stand on the edge of bridges burnt
I'm choking on the lessons I've learnt
Will karma really bite me in the ass?
I'm trapped in sands of an hourglass
I watch my life through the filthy pain
Every bit of my love will slowly drain
Atrocity rushes in my soul to rupture
What will cease my lifetime of torture?
All I really need is a hollow point bullet
I'll muster up the courage & just pull it!
Will I feel my brains paint these walls?
Or sense the gravity as my body falls?
Because...

Goodbye Dad
Goodbye Dad
I am heart broken
That I have lost you
So fast
I can't stop crying
Yes I could never believe
That you had to part so soon
But deep down
I could not stand to see you
Suffer every day
Battling you disease
I tried to make you
Comfortable
Also I had to be strong for you
And it is very hard to do
Yes you lost you battle
And at the same time
It was hard to see you leave
This earth
But at the same time
I must understand that
You are in a better place them me
You are living a new...
I am heart broken
That I have lost you
So fast
I can't stop crying
Yes I could never believe
That you had to part so soon
But deep down
I could not stand to see you
Suffer every day
Battling you disease
I tried to make you
Comfortable
Also I had to be strong for you
And it is very hard to do
Yes you lost you battle
And at the same time
It was hard to see you leave
This earth
But at the same time
I must understand that
You are in a better place them me
You are living a new...

How I Feel
Its been sorrowful to the point,
I cry without wet salty tears,
Feelings do but don't appoint,
as erased are my life's fears.
I'm so stuck in its gears.
I cry without wet salty tears,
Feelings do but don't appoint,
as erased are my life's fears.
I'm so stuck in its gears.

Rattle Snake's Kiss
Can you hear the sound of the world?
As it destroys itself
As it rebuilds itself
As it collapses under
Birdsong petroleum machines
Can you hear the engines?
Screaming downward
Towards an unfathomable abyss
You’ve heard it before
And it left you in pain
It is painful to know
The painkiller is ignorance
Denial, stupidity, and hate.
Media manufactured hate
Bubbling beneath the flesh
Every breath simmering
Coiled ready to pounce
Upon somebody different to you
It is painful to...
As it destroys itself
As it rebuilds itself
As it collapses under
Birdsong petroleum machines
Can you hear the engines?
Screaming downward
Towards an unfathomable abyss
You’ve heard it before
And it left you in pain
It is painful to know
The painkiller is ignorance
Denial, stupidity, and hate.
Media manufactured hate
Bubbling beneath the flesh
Every breath simmering
Coiled ready to pounce
Upon somebody different to you
It is painful to...

Another Day (Final Attempt)
She runs bare feet, blood seeping
as she runs and he is shouting,
His bellowing voice does echoes
into a coffee sipping morning.
I see how scared she's running
and her father is so scolding,
Over was the short conversation
& then he bellows her name.
The morning was so dark and misty
but he looked on so mysteriously
Anger and for his princess
Desired and she's now foot-prints
She's gone and so much less,
you wanted so much more old...
as she runs and he is shouting,
His bellowing voice does echoes
into a coffee sipping morning.
I see how scared she's running
and her father is so scolding,
Over was the short conversation
& then he bellows her name.
The morning was so dark and misty
but he looked on so mysteriously
Anger and for his princess
Desired and she's now foot-prints
She's gone and so much less,
you wanted so much more old...

I have gone past depression and into anihilation.
I think fondly.
About the end.
Of death.
No more depression.
No more thoughts.
No more failures to be ashamed of.
A still peaceful calm.
That I won't experience.
No loss.
No wants.
No screaming at the sun for everything to stop.
No fear.
No disappointment.
No wondering why.
No socialising.
No self doubt.
No never eating.
And all these addictions.
Will just end.
No one to let me down.
No more discomfort.
No wasting idle time.
I will be and recede. ...

Untitled
Opposite way to cure storms.
You can pour the gasoline
My daughter to be free,
Pour the smell and the hellfire,
Can't you see past the trees,
Your own foot is caught bleeding,
and the thirst is recusing.
No difference to my poetry,
a final reason to feel breathing
a warlock now to be believed,
and black bats fly to be teasing,
open wounds never soothing
but...

Allow it to Rain
Memories that no one can read
of the kind that freeze the past
which failed you to succeed
and causes the pain to last
will destroy you in the end
as you stand on empty ground
where happiness did descend
and left you tied and bound
Memories chained to your heart
Feeding on source of your life
Ripping your soul apart
Like a mad man slashing a knife
The memories engraved forever
Countless flashbacks that hurt
Remembering where it had all occurred
and hoping for the rain to divert….
Wash my soul in...

Moth (Dark Addiction)
My bed-room surrounds,
with wine bottles around
and the Pepsi that i mix,
I'm not a life full of bliss
3 Liters is barely enough
on my skin so ruggedly tough
I don't wish to be the one to hurt
This dragon even smoked
a child till she was burnt.
I hate this version in the mirror
a worse of all demeanor,
I was blessed with high intelligence
and wasted it on drugs I blessed.
Oh father, am I to re-born a demon,
acid to all words of your sermons
I...
