Calloused
I've prayed on my knees until my callouses turned into stone. Prayers unheard, Lord am I alone?
I've flooded this earth with my very tears and pounded the dirt until it shook with fear.
I pleaded for you to lend me your ear.
I've scavenged my soul to make it whole.
Surviving wars did take it's toll.
Lord I just want to know.
Why do you let the Devil temp me so?
I've flooded this earth with my very tears and pounded the dirt until it shook with fear.

I’m envious of the clouds
I’m envious of the clouds
That float happily in the sun –
Changing into colorful shrouds –
Lumping from many into one.
Their most compatible friend –
The wind, admits
They beautify the high heaven.
Nebulosity permits
Travel without a passport.
They slip away on a whim
For a day’s length or more
And return a denizen.
That float happily in the sun –
Changing into colorful shrouds –
Lumping from many into one.
Their most compatible friend –
The wind, admits
They beautify the high heaven.
Nebulosity permits
Travel without a passport.
They slip away on a whim
For a day’s length or more
And return a denizen.

Deck of Cards (AfterSexDilemma collab)
AfterSexDilemma:
Falling to the ground, Big Bang,
That's the sound.
A big man balancing on a tricycle,
Dancing like a clown.
High in the Sefirot trying not to drop.
Opened my mouth couldn't get it to stop.
Pressure boiling in with hot steam,
Makes my ears pop.
The fish in the sky are going dry.
Start to flip flop.
High on my mind wasting time on the clock.
I'm in decline, getting behind, still in line,
Want fame from the tick tock.

recalling a close shave from my youth
you came unexpectedly
one day and
winter arrived early
you left suddenly years
years ago
and I waited for
the return of
spring
broken hearts?
whining and moaning?
what was all that
shit about?
if that would have happened
today, I would
have said, don't let the damn
door hit you on
the ass on the way out!

The Lord`s Prayer
One order Please
of stupefied binge
breathe in deep
resin singed
Shambling Sloppy
Starve on Fringe
in Humiliating fashion
that makes parents cringe
snort and spit
off the grid
spare my precious pits
from chemist wits
smell natural as shit
while totally lit
locate concrete bed
to split my head
good ol' Medieval
blood-let
drenched in red
am I better yet?
Rejoice in what
I aim but miss
damage brain
accept It`s bliss ...

When I'm Writing, Stay Away From Me
"You fucked her!"
"No I didn't!" (Oh shit!!)
"Yes you did you bastard, how could you?"
"You fucked her even if you didn't!!"
She looks over my shoulder as I write
I say: Are you mad about something?
I see the look on her face get really mean
She looks at me again and goes upstairs
This was going to be a funny thing, this conversation I was going to write
But now I lost the thread on what I was going to say
The timing was perfect though
Every time she walks by, she sneaks a look at...
"No I didn't!" (Oh shit!!)
"Yes you did you bastard, how could you?"
"You fucked her even if you didn't!!"
She looks over my shoulder as I write
I say: Are you mad about something?
I see the look on her face get really mean

This was going to be a funny thing, this conversation I was going to write
But now I lost the thread on what I was going to say

Capricorn
1+6=7
7 is God.
16 is Hell.
I'm on fire.
Extinguishing the pyre.
With a name, 5,
Freedom of self.
Escape reality.
Take on, duality.
Achieve the manor,
Of wisdom and filth.
A snake in your garden.
Truths that harden,
A heart of energy.
A world that was built.
Always on fire.
Out of the ashes.
Higher and higher.
No cycle can break me.
I'm out of this world.
Life's a satire.
Too much work, and no hires.
Too much weight on my shoulders,
Just for a...

The Mental Bride
Blue grows the tulip
White grows the Rose
I am writing a letter
To whom no one knows
Light falls the feather
Bright grows the fire
The irony of love
I will never tire
Green grows the grass
Heavy is the dew
All of this beauty
Is in tribute to you
A child to a mother
A moth to a flame
As timeless as tears
I will never be the same
A minute to an hour
A day to a year
A dark spirit’s voice
Is the only one I hear
Soft moonbeams
And silvery...
White grows the Rose
I am writing a letter
To whom no one knows
Light falls the feather
Bright grows the fire
The irony of love
I will never tire
Green grows the grass
Heavy is the dew
All of this beauty
Is in tribute to you
A child to a mother
A moth to a flame
As timeless as tears
I will never be the same
A minute to an hour
A day to a year
A dark spirit’s voice
Is the only one I hear
Soft moonbeams

Peaceful & quiet
Sanctum for birds and people
To grieve and be free

Run
Revisiting remembrances rips rapidly, and
Reckless reverie reverses ruthlessly.
Ruined romps ravage repulsive roads
Repeating rashly rebellious realities.
Undoing uglies utmost unsettling
Upon unbound uncertainties,
Unique understandings unveil
Unavailing usurpations of unwavering.
No new note keeping novelty
Nearly nourishes my nitpicking nature.
Nonstop needling, narcissistic nettles,
Niceties never noticing a noggin nicer.
Reckless reverie reverses ruthlessly.
Ruined romps ravage repulsive roads
Repeating rashly rebellious realities.
Undoing uglies utmost unsettling
Upon unbound uncertainties,
Unique understandings unveil
Unavailing usurpations of unwavering.
No new note keeping novelty
Nearly nourishes my nitpicking nature.
Nonstop needling, narcissistic nettles,
Niceties never noticing a noggin nicer.

Taking A Stance
You held the pad lock,
With a key gripped in your fist,
You don’t want to stop but,
I demand you unbind my wrists.
I may’ve been born into your care,
You may think you dictate my future,
Yet none of this is fair,
To that I am sure.
I am a warrior,
A fighter with knowledge and strength,
You had me living in your horrors,
But soon you shall see.
So this is the anthem I will now chant,
Listen to my footsteps as they fade,
I deserve freedom,
I will no longer stay in your shade.
Sing with me, ...
With a key gripped in your fist,
You don’t want to stop but,
I demand you unbind my wrists.
I may’ve been born into your care,
You may think you dictate my future,
Yet none of this is fair,
To that I am sure.
I am a warrior,
A fighter with knowledge and strength,
You had me living in your horrors,
But soon you shall see.
So this is the anthem I will now chant,
Listen to my footsteps as they fade,
I deserve freedom,
I will no longer stay in your shade.
Sing with me, ...
