Under the bed...
As a child, a ghost under the bed.
As an adult a ghost in the bed.
I lie beside a specter, in silk pajamas,
a slippery feel, yet warm to the touch.
An absence of humanity, yet pleasing
to the ear. A lack of humility, yet
appealing to the senses.
I chose to choose the undead.
A choice with the characteristics
of a corpse yet the feel of a human.
A robot, a clone of what once
passed for a person, to be cherished,
to be loved. The disembodiment
of the body, the discoloring of the
soul from white to black.

THE NIGHT SHADOWS
Through the beginning of time which history has foretold to you and I, what will happen in the coming of time when those who are swear to serve and protect will take matters into their own hands. For do you see where I am going with this piece of insightful knowledge and wisdom, for even now as time goes by and reality has shown us those same people who are swear, to serve and protect have other plans on there mind and it has nothing to do with the color of a cops skin. For you can't turn on the news and hear that someone else has been, killed or shot or beaten by the hands of the blue wall...

Ripples
Love's touch
boldly creates such
with its fingers—
dispels cold
disperses fear
displaces hate
just as a little Light
radiates a long way
here in any darkness—
lingers long enough
to get us through
the mean season
as we wait
for a spring sunrise
boldly creates such
with its fingers—
dispels cold
disperses fear
displaces hate
just as a little Light
radiates a long way
here in any darkness—
lingers long enough
to get us through
the mean season
as we wait
for a spring sunrise

ROUNDING ERROR
I don’t want to scream at the top of my lungs...
I don’t want to slam the door...
I don’t want to wreck things...
99.99% of the time...
Is it enough?
I don’t want to slam the door...
I don’t want to wreck things...
99.99% of the time...
Is it enough?

Chained Because of Fear
The ones who hold you back, keep you confined in a box, and tell you how you ought to behave, those are the ones who know deep down and there's holes how great you are, and they are fucking terrified.". - Nicole Lyons
Then clinking and cleaning of my chains are in my nightmares
Even slipping into waking horrors
Brutal like the gallows
A box of Black and White
Restricted with these chains
They chain me to everything I know deep down in my core I'm not
Standing up to your expectations is
Restraining the warrior soul inside of me ...
Then clinking and cleaning of my chains are in my nightmares
Even slipping into waking horrors
Brutal like the gallows
A box of Black and White
Restricted with these chains
They chain me to everything I know deep down in my core I'm not
Standing up to your expectations is
Restraining the warrior soul inside of me ...

A Short Story!
A Short Story!
whilst in the Old Town today, i was inspired to write a (thankfully!)short story, as follows: a few days ago, i was attacked by a giant vampire piano playing mermaid spider! this had somehow broken into my flat. i bravely and heroically managed to cover the spider with a small translucent lid (thus giving away the fact, that the giant vampire piano playing spider, wasn't actually quite as giantesque, as at first indicated, or suggested!) slipping a small piece of card under the aforementioned lid, i carefully escorted it to my kitchen.

Not Another Self He
I am definitely not the person I was yesterday
When I woke up today
My life did not change
For this I do not feel like I belong in a cage
Where my thoughts suffer along with my doubts
With inner battles raging about in bouts
I know that with every truth comes a way of understanding
Although this may not always hold me in good standing
I may look in the mirror
And frighten myself with shock and terror
As soon as my reflection is anywhere nearer
With that cloud having lifted the day becomes clearer
Reassured once again in...

Entheogen
An infectious idea, dangerous, outlawed
an urgent craving to speak with god
Touch the fabric before my eyes
Feel what's it really about, drop the guise
Are the tellings true about this magic brew?
Curiosity can kill yet sometimes it fuels discoveries
Human laws are made to be broken
cause they all deceiving and misspoken
Made to suppress the sacred mind - entheogen
To keep us down and dumb
But there is only love, there is only fear
Knowing this, where would we go from there?
Illusion, if everything is energy
atoms are empty ...
an urgent craving to speak with god
Touch the fabric before my eyes
Feel what's it really about, drop the guise
Are the tellings true about this magic brew?
Curiosity can kill yet sometimes it fuels discoveries
Human laws are made to be broken
cause they all deceiving and misspoken
Made to suppress the sacred mind - entheogen

But there is only love, there is only fear

Back To Work!
Get BACK TO WORK! I say,
Back to work,
Do not shirk,
STAY ALERT -
To the dangers of COVID-19.
It's time to go BACK TO WORK folks!
Like we would dread returning to class after the summer holidays.
So it's back to school in June, who'll be singing that tune?
Not me, anytime soon!
I DON'T want to go back to work, Boris because I'm bone idle like you.
Instead, I wanna be furloughed indefinitely immediately,
Cos I've NOT got the advantage of background advisors -
Helping me out, like you!
Forget LOCKDOWN, I wanna go...

Mannequin
How was I supposed to know the Real me
With all these clones of clones around me
Why am I feeling so empty
Why are these people changing me
Is One of you supposed to help me
How was I when you first met me
Was I different than how you act normally
I need to find the real me
Can you Hear can you answer me
Murder, and It’s killing personality
Can’t remember, who I’m personally
Real thoughts buried dig deep
Misplaced all the good memories
Just history forget eventually
Feels so real am I even...

Admitting my Darkness: The Fear To Progress
Why do I struggle to admit my darkness?
I'm scared I'll be judged; that you will see me as heartless
If my actions don't conform to ambition's parchment then how can I expect you to trust where my heart is?
Not good enough for this
Not able to do that
catastrophic thoughts
bouncing ,round in my head
I know I am my greatest project
but I fear you'll focus on my flaws; not my progress
I'm scared I'll be judged; that you will see me as heartless
If my actions don't conform to ambition's parchment then how can I expect you to trust where my heart is?
Not good enough for this
Not able to do that
catastrophic thoughts
bouncing ,round in my head
I know I am my greatest project
but I fear you'll focus on my flaws; not my progress

imbibe while there's still time
drink deeply
this is not the poison you think it to be
raw burning
pungent
ragged at the back of the throat
don’t be frightened
no, its flavor does not particularly tantalize
nothing to overtly tempt the senses
enticing & delicious
all the same
drink up
down every last drop
not all that is good for us
will taste sweet
it’s a nurturing growing thing
meant to sate more than mere temporary cravings
it fills & remains
come now
drain the cup
be not alarmed as it instantly replenishes
it will...
