I Am Father Time
I've been stalking you your whole life
Hiding in the shadows
Creeping, lurking
With scythe in hand
Waiting for the right time
To take what's mine
My whsipers tease your death
And their echoes raise the hair on your neck
My hourglass is a reminder
The sands of time are running out
I break down your body throughout your life
As a warning
A reminder
Did you find redemption
I don't care
Judgement is not for me to decide
I am father time
I always capture my prey
I am the ultimate predator
So...
Hiding in the shadows
Creeping, lurking
With scythe in hand
Waiting for the right time
To take what's mine
My whsipers tease your death
And their echoes raise the hair on your neck
My hourglass is a reminder
The sands of time are running out
I break down your body throughout your life
As a warning
A reminder
Did you find redemption
I don't care
Judgement is not for me to decide
I am father time
I always capture my prey
I am the ultimate predator
So...

Of Madness and Saffron - with Grace
In the labyrinth of my mind echoing footsteps
rebelling against the lords of insanity
dark academia from Mozart to Beethoven
like skulls with candles and ravens with keys
as your flesh becomes the rapture of my love
with decadent essence of madness and saffron
listening to the echoes of your steps
walking away on sludge towards wisdom light
against cacophonous sounds of dark protest
stay with me says lustful inky darkness
rains of blackness no velvety softness
and you drown in soul-searing loving
of the insidious kind.
rebelling against the lords of insanity

against cacophonous sounds of dark protest
stay with me says lustful inky darkness
rains of blackness no velvety softness
and you drown in soul-searing loving

Invisible Illness
lost the words
lost the time
stepping out of reality
stepping out of rhyme
struggle to find
the rules don’t apply
my mind
does not
comply
trying to define
something you can’t see
how to describe
invisibility
under gravity
these laws of
normality
circumvent me
sentience
swept aside
it is here I reside
slowly losing time
to this
mental illness

SWING
I had no idea how much you could miss someone. I mean from the morning until the dark. How you lost your happy place in the park someone took your swing and you're middle aged and acting out like you are aged five having a full-blown tantrum. Except a broken heart isn't playing games it feels like it is digging your own grave, but you are theoretically alive. Living on the outside but dying on the inside. It's hard to see the old routines when your heart high jacks your mind. You're a hostage and the taker but you can't find the negotiator.

THE LONELY ONE
The lonely person often walks unnoticed
with unsteady step and eyes unfocused,
failing to keep pace within the crowd.
An approach of reluctance to everything,
like a crutch under the arm that stings,
maintaining balance amidst turbulence.
Seeing, yet, did not recognize nor care,
as if that person was as normal as you,
beneath the shrouded cloak they wear.
Loneliness can feed on pure isolation,
depression its friend, little is noticed,
there's signals, a lack of communication.
Loneliness has its very own...
with unsteady step and eyes unfocused,
failing to keep pace within the crowd.
An approach of reluctance to everything,
like a crutch under the arm that stings,
maintaining balance amidst turbulence.
Seeing, yet, did not recognize nor care,
as if that person was as normal as you,
beneath the shrouded cloak they wear.
Loneliness can feed on pure isolation,
depression its friend, little is noticed,
there's signals, a lack of communication.
Loneliness has its very own...

Arguably pond life but quite not that shamelessly so as the Royal Family!
By Stanley Collymore
Karen Matthews, in my honest
assessment of her situation,
seemed literally relieved
that her children were actually removed
from her and clearly obviously, put into
care; as she generally crucially had no
natural interest, other than a basically
quite undoubtedly strict financial one
by simply evidently being on the dole,
discernibly in or any natural empathy
with them! And thus, unquestionably
with these kids gone got the chance
to restart her own life, all over again,
with no...

How To Disappear Completely
Darkness breathes
Like a living thing
Thrumming rib bones
Exhaling smoke
And I can smell your
Breath for days
It’s getting harder
Just to breath
I am stagnant in stale air
Visiting my hollow stare
Upon a world of pain
Of predictable delusions
I dilute my presence
As my pupils dilate
Into distant dimensions
I can’t look away
I fade
Into the shadows
And d i s a p p e a r . . .

Peanut butter and spermicidal jelly sandwich
She makes me feel impotent
Whenever I'm around her I feel like I don't exist
She makes me mad
I try & find the words but I can't
I want to lash out but I can't move
She makes me feel like I'm made out of wood
She turns my brain into wax
She pushes me around
I don't know how to say no
Every moment I spend with her, I lose a part of myself
I want to get out, but I can't see my life without her
I think I know what needs to be done...

When you punish innocent people they usually tend to fight back!
By Stanley Collymore
If another nation attacked a British or USA Embassy or Consulate or, for that matter, any of the NATO member countries killing diplomats and staffers within that said establishment, which in international law is part of its own sovereign country, what do you quite honestly think, and no virtue signalling bullshitting please, the country that owned that targeted consulate or that embassy, including your own, would do?
And to asininely claim or even distinctively disingenuously state that Iran had military personnel as well as diplomats in...

Take your time Wills - no rush!
By Stanley Collymore
Didn't some of you monarchical sycophants like the racist and pseudonym named Politok 101 in the Daily Mail, allegedly of Noorico South Africa, and still daringly, asininely I would say with their avowedly racist views, living in post-apartheid South Africa, get the memo that briefly William is temporarily, purportedly going back to work? Curiously there's more about Meghan and her jam enterprise than there's actually about William, some of the latter's royalist fans are openly gloating that in their, my interpretation of things sick minds, the said William is...

An inflated ego seldom, if ever, maketh the ideal man or woman!
By Stanley Collymore
Being candidly told somebody's
unflattering opinions of one's
self, however caustic the
summation of that elucidation is, as
long as it's simply not menacing, or
evidently strays either consciously
or otherwise, distinctively into the
bounds of defamation or libel, it's
very discernibly, and sensibly not
a crime! And totally undoubtedly
however significantly insultingly
or actually crucially detrimental
psychologically, those naturally
specific remarks very distinctly
made, are...

Best Orgasms They Could Ever Have Without The Passion
They have their rituals like any other married couple
At night, he goes downstairs before bed and jerks off to the hottest porn on the internet
He can have any women he wants
She goes under the covers with her dildo and vibrator and fucks & pulsates herself to an amazing orgasm
They finish around the same time,
even though they're in different rooms
They have been married for so long that they have the perfect sex every time
After the lights go out, they sleep like real human beings.
At night, he goes downstairs before bed and jerks off to the hottest porn on the internet

They have been married for so long that they have the perfect sex every time
After the lights go out, they sleep like real human beings.
