Born with nothing
Bring in your gods
Before they rust
Young man
Born with nothing
Deep holes in his pockets and heart
Left to scream
Never heard
On any street in this world
Go ahead...
Pick a city
Any city
It don't matter
Born with nothing
Born to die
Before they rust
Young man
Born with nothing
Deep holes in his pockets and heart
Left to scream
Never heard
On any street in this world
Go ahead...
Pick a city
Any city
It don't matter
Born with nothing
Born to die

Nothing left to See
It's time to dry the tears off the floor
You will never see them anymore
I sit here thinking about how this all went wrong
Like the melody of a tragic love song
Once upon a time, there was a me
Shiny and new for everyone to see
The ending of this perfect melody
Was the day you said hello to me
There
is
no
more
of
me
for
you
to
...

The Punisher
He carries scars where his heart weeps
Keeper of secrets and lies
He justifies the destruction of his dreams
Believing his decisions ended his tomorrows
Pain creased on his brow
Chasing stillness, needing a quiet sigh
While life quietly passes by
His storms raging beneath the surface never end
Living life as if he desires the end
The gate to his soul kept tightly closed
Thinking nobody else knows ...
Keeper of secrets and lies
He justifies the destruction of his dreams
Believing his decisions ended his tomorrows
Pain creased on his brow
Chasing stillness, needing a quiet sigh
While life quietly passes by
His storms raging beneath the surface never end
Living life as if he desires the end
The gate to his soul kept tightly closed
Thinking nobody else knows ...

melancholy malady
the melody plays quietly within my heart
the malady love
pure and deep
dark to the touch
with heady inflections
delicate but powerful
a romance, to make time stand stil
quietly taking a gasp and exhaling sorrow
it seems too much
the passion overwhelming
if it were to fall apart, I would with it
so much a part of who I am is interlaced with your soul
intricately fated to be one
my life balancing precariously on the precpice

Echoes from Mordor
Ease my pains please Supremo..
Little girl if you read this hold a portrait on your wall of me the size jumbo..
Inside my condor making juice of an avocado..
Whoever sees me!
All they can say is;
Bravo!
I barely spent the night in Colorado
Seeking answers while been a Desperado..
When all is said and done..
I lay in bed in my condor doing El-Dorado
Lord, I beg you don't let me remain in Jail 'o.
Even though am sitting quietly playing a cello
I can hear you keep on calling and waving hello ...

Why not be honest
It's me again the story teller of unspoken words ✍️. For sure I would like to tell a real life story of the deepness, that does happen sometimes in life. 🙏 For sure what I have to say will really blow your mind. 🧠 FOR sure let the story teller begin, now sit back and try to understand 🤨wholeheartedly what I'm about to say to you 🤔 There will come a time in each of our lives, something will have a profound affect upon you in ways, that you will never truly understand or imagine. 🤨 Now let's begin from the beginning...

Forgetting
Whyd you leave me
In such dispair
Im so sad that im angry
You make me want to pull out my hair
Each morning i cry
Every night i wanna die
I cant help it
When im so alone
I really wish youd pack up
And come back home
Every minute i spare
From my work
Or self care
Just to cry over you
A little bit
And i wish youd run away
You can leave any day
Just to help me
To forget
In such dispair
Im so sad that im angry
You make me want to pull out my hair
Each morning i cry
Every night i wanna die
I cant help it
When im so alone
I really wish youd pack up
And come back home
Every minute i spare
From my work
Or self care
Just to cry over you
A little bit
And i wish youd run away
You can leave any day
Just to help me
To forget

I know some of your secrets
I know enough
Maybe I’d like a few more
Perhaps not
I’m greedy
Not stupid
The fringe is paradise
Cold mornings
Despair in personal heat
You control my lust
Thermometer shatters
Mercury poisoning
Mercy ….
Maybe I’d like a few more

Show
(S)miles of fun
It's all a show
Away, the sadness
No one knows
Watching him
You wouldn't guess
Playing the clown
Leaves him anxious
~ distressed

Cold
There are barren worlds where no joy dares to exist.
A mental planet with a void for sun, the light is listless.
Eternal winter snowed upon the corroded cartilage
in my bones.
A carcass of happiness lies shivering on broken stones.
Blood.
Runs.
Ice.
Cold.
To say I'm dead would be so bold.
Pink fire grazes the horizon behind the evergreens.
Somehow a fuschia twilight is magically seen.
This electric mauve light vanishes into the belly of the night.

Insignificance
Oblivion is sounding good right now.
I have no good will left for appeal
and only faith in reason anyhow
as it does so much more than zeal,
though zeal gets all of the accolades
because we love a vivacious tale,
games, or cinema, with bullets and blades
when suburban life has gotten stale.
Too drab are the axes X, Y, and Z
unless by artillery to explode
any and all forms of an enemy
well within the range of targeting mode.
And that mode will not recognize zeal
or the...

BILLY - THE REVOLUTIONIST!
I feel like a revolutionist today, folks!
Armed & ready to fight prejudice -
With my words!
I had a dose of it last night.
Was told I was not welcome at a certain wine bar,
Situated here, near where I live.
Was told to watch my back -
Just because I'm English!
I only went along for the Karaoke...
Unfortunately,
The guy never saw the person behind the mask -
Never gave him a chance!
After all, I could've been the English guy,
Who fought to save his daughter's life,
The surgeon; instead, fighting...
