Born Onto Death Row
Every second I murder my life
I am alive
I am serving a death sentence
Born onto death row
Walking around
Dancing on my grave
By living, I am killing my life
Die, Die, Die
I breathe in
I breathe out
I am killing, digging a grave
Pounding coffin nails
I'm alive, I'm the killer
I'm the victim, I'm alive
I am alive
I am serving a death sentence
Born onto death row
Walking around
Dancing on my grave
By living, I am killing my life
Die, Die, Die
I breathe in
I breathe out
I am killing, digging a grave
Pounding coffin nails
I'm alive, I'm the killer
I'm the victim, I'm alive

Sands of Time
When can I walk on the sands of time
Let it sift through the soul
Leaving footprints behind
For the wind to sweep away?
I fell on the sand
To have it burn me and scorch
From past regrets and remorse
Downy wings try to erupt
From leathered and weathered skin
To go up in a plume of smoke
The sands of time have no feeling
They do not judge
They are just and we must walk our path
Let it sift through the soul
Leaving footprints behind
For the wind to sweep away?
I fell on the sand
To have it burn me and scorch
From past regrets and remorse
Downy wings try to erupt
From leathered and weathered skin
To go up in a plume of smoke
The sands of time have no feeling
They do not judge
They are just and we must walk our path

sincere
loneliness emits a certain keen
if you're listening you will hear it
an emptiness that gnaws at the soul
indifferent to my own pain
it sometimes rises with pangs of ache
and I am taken aback
doubled over with pain
my heart's sorrow clearly seen
hidden deep within, I swallow it down
regretful emotion, I don't want you to see me this way
it hurts my pride to know you get to me
salvation in a hugs sometimes that's all it takes
a smile, to keep those uneasy feelings at bay
tender emotion, when I can express...

love hurts so much
Why we can't find someone who means what they say, and not do anything to prove to you how are they gonna, be able to know what you need and really want, in your life and world. 🌍 For it's seems that nowadays it's getting harder, to tell the differences between what is good and bad, or if it's real or fake which makes it that harder to know, on who we should trust between the lines of what is the truth or lies. For tell me why we can't find, the real genuine deepness of what it meant to have a real commitment, with real consistency and real communications skills. TO articulate what...

ALIVE BUT EMPTY
REALITY
It's about the same,
hour after hour,
day after day,
the emptiness of
my routine world.
I leave my house empty,
I walk the empty streets
and arrive at my empty office.
My work produces empty
and redundant yes answers.
At lunchtime I sit in
the cafe filled with empty people
stuffing empty calories.
As I walk home I see
a hearse with a body
with an empty future.
At night I gaze at the heavens but
only see the empty space.
BUT
above all I am alive
but EMPTY without
YOU in...

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

Knight In Shining Armour
About to strike from behind the enemy lines
As my cavalry arrives
And I won't hesitate in taking out so many lives
With my deadly devices
My advice for you only appreciate it if we ever meet in paradise
Only! When you realize this is a sacrifice
It pains me, but I still hope it doesn't in the afterlife
Let's see who'll be the last man standing
He who survives
Taking all of you by surprise
On the road on which I thrive
Ease this harness let me sit back
And enjoy the ride ...
As my cavalry arrives
And I won't hesitate in taking out so many lives

Let's see who'll be the last man standing
He who survives
Taking all of you by surprise
On the road on which I thrive
Ease this harness let me sit back
And enjoy the ride ...

I miss you more than you could ever know.
How much time has flown by - so much, so little.
But her memory is kept in me. I was afraid to admit...
I guess I still am, that she will never come back.
That I won't see her smile, that I won't feel her hugs.
How much she sacrificed just to bring me into this world.
She never gave up on me despite her own health.
And once I knew, would things have been different?
If she had listened to the doctors, and everyone else.
When I was a child it was so hard to take care of her.
Especially through the relapses and affects of treatment.
I...

Reflection,
It's reciprocity's mirror
Of alternate realities
Which gives the glance that guarantees
To make this dear life clearer,
And the portal between the two
Is the wavelet surface ripple
Showing, like a participle,
What we should or should not do.
But if to this a man is blind
His soul will ever steep in hate
And his definition most unkind
Of what is, and, what is not great.
It's the golden rule to unbind
Great apes from an unkind fate!
Of alternate realities
Which gives the glance that guarantees
To make this dear life clearer,
And the portal between the two
Is the wavelet surface ripple
Showing, like a participle,
What we should or should not do.
But if to this a man is blind
His soul will ever steep in hate
And his definition most unkind
Of what is, and, what is not great.
It's the golden rule to unbind
Great apes from an unkind fate!

When all else fails I go back to art …
Things have been a push lately
November always hits me hard
It’s then I go back to basics
A craft I call home ….
November always hits me hard

I hate surprises
Oh, don't give me
Alice's intentions
and a queen of hearts
attitude.
In Wonderland,
with a good smile,
even cats disappear.
In wonder
with a good
disappear.
Cat's land smile.
Alice's intentions
and a queen of hearts
attitude.
In Wonderland,
with a good smile,
even cats disappear.
In wonder
with a good
disappear.
Cat's land smile.
