Dying of thirst in my empty Kool-Aid pitcher
Men have begged
for my love
women too,
and I gave it
to him
as easily
as blowing the
fuzz off
a dandelion
and I asked him to
keep me safe
from the head games
I play with myself
Long story short:
He said no.
So I’m drinking a lot.
He said no.
And I want to know what
the actual fuck is
socially wrong
in having
an
inbox
just
for
one
It's like being surrounded
by desperation-fueled
soul-desiccation,
where the...

The valorous Kate Middleton - defeating the perilous cancer that she never had!
By Stanley Collymore
Why are you sycophantic morons
so wanting evidently intelligent
and clearly astutely mentally
liberated persons to quite unreservedly have
any sympathy whatever, for Kate Middleton,
when you're clearly not that bothered about
all those other British citizens with genuine
not fictional cancers, that really couldn't be
treated, even for the actual said amount of
money, because they simply obviously just
don't have it, crucially required to deal with
Charles, and also his...

Botticelli
Standing at a crossroads, why do I have to choose when Botticelli painted both the Madonna and Child and The Birth of Venus? I say I don't write for the purist, so why can't I create my real emotions—mental art—without fear of repercussions? What was going through your mind, Botticelli, when you painted for both Pagans and Catholics? Should I keep my work neat and pure, the cute shit that’s suitable for a bland palate, or can I give you tears and pain, profanity intertwined with the confession of sin?

Unearthed
My mind is screaming, merely mimicking my lost design
my heart is bleeding, memories of a dissolved time
With the scorned child, I thought gone
the next stage of life has now begun
Feeling lost in my own doom
I am trapped, surrounded
Crowded within this room
screaming at the top of my shattered lungs
Not a single soul wavers
no one bothered to look up
They walk right through my scattered limbs
Leaving behind their muddy scuffs
And on top of my punctured ribs, they stand
As if designated to their blind...

A very plausible letter written by Kate Middleton's PR team!
By Stanley Collymore
Oh give it a rest Daily Mail and clearly
crucially likeminded monarchical
sycophants! Kate Middleton
was perfectly well enough for Wimbledon in
the summer so this odiously contrived crap
you're promulgating Daily Mail has actually
got to be sarcasm, right? Kate a beacon of strength, really? Someone, who effectively
takes a year of "work" while very evidently
discernibly ordinary people, regardless of
truly healthy, or otherwise circumstances
actually have no choice but to soldier on! ...

Pound Of Flesh
Off to a tropical paradise
For a long overdue vacation
When a malfunctioning device
Affected the planes aviation
The pilot losing all control
The plane started going down
Passengers searching for their soul
Exploding fire, burning the ground
The only survivors of the flight
A young mother and her teenage son
Rummaging wreckage, the midst of night
Their tribulations have just begun
...

Hollowed Breeze
Into your being, Aeolus blew
an enthusiastic hunger,
Driving your curious and passionate nature
To swirl together in an eclectic dance,
Displaying a prismatic array of imaginative hues,
a zealous vortex, a colorful blur.
You were alive in a way very few
Ever were
This was you.
People said you were a mess,
a faltered and broken soul, they'd say,
an albatross strung tight around one's neck,
a sinking ship, a ball and chain—
a disaster not yet made.
With jealous words they chose to speak
but...
an enthusiastic hunger,
Driving your curious and passionate nature
To swirl together in an eclectic dance,
Displaying a prismatic array of imaginative hues,
a zealous vortex, a colorful blur.
You were alive in a way very few
Ever were
This was you.
People said you were a mess,

The vacuous Richard Eden - and falsified vulturine stories in the Daily Mail again!
By Stanley Collymore
Whatever each of you brainwashed
and braindead morons really think,
Meghan will never, even obviously
wearing a shroud, return to Britain
under any circumstances, so truly
get over it, as well as evidently so
your Richard Eden evilly fancifully
made up stories. And that clearly
similarly includes unquestionably
requisite, and significantly feudal
so-called serfs really pathetically
very preposterously royal duties!
That rather pointedly also, refers
irrefutably, to Meghan's husband ...

Drug taking and its addiction coupled with the rather crass hypocrisy associated with its taking!
By Stanley Collymore
The hypocrisy quite honestly is startling!
Thus the sole reasons that widespread
drug taking and addiction, evidently in
tandem with its discernibly self-evidently also
universal dealing and importation into Britain
is so passively and even enticingly tolerated,
and no truly effective and also discouraging legislation is ever, very seriously introduced
into parliament! Which is precisely because
of the critical prevalence of a rather natural addiction to drugs and its simply attendant

The Legend Of Shadow Walker (part 4/4)
Siler Bald North Carolina:
Ashes and bones found in a campfire
A missing couple almost retired
Smell of burnt flesh fills the smokey air
No clues yet found, detectives unaware
Lake Jocassee South Carolina:
Bodies drowned in a mountainous lake
It was no accident, it was no mistake
No remnants found of these bodies dead
Just eight floating decapitated heads

And me too, publicly and clearly conveniently shouts the odious, vulturine egoist Nadine Dorries!
By Stanley Collymore
Quite bluntly I don't believe a solitary
word that this plainly malevolently
egregious, actually egotistically
inured, discernibly rabid attention seeker and
toxically, though pathetically so, significantly,
basically vaingloriously, virtue-signalling and
post-menopausal hag, is lyingly stating! This
sprog, obviously born on the 21st May 1957,
allegedly sexually assaulted by a vicar when
she was aged nine and thus mathematically
a situation that would have very purportedly
occurred in 1966, but...
