The Perfect illusion
Some betrayal can never be forgotten as they become, more of a mental burden to the mind and heart. For sure it in it's self is a reminder of the betrayal and deception, that some people's who commit this kind of heinous act of betrayal. Don't think about the very deepness of the feelings, and how far they will go deeper than deep, till they become dangerous thoughts of murder and revenge. For no matter how we look at it, it's still is called cheating with deception hiding behind the lies of a mask as a disguise. For the relationship been over so be the kind of man or woman, that you claim to...

And Goodbye for Good
On the last day I studied her face
Her supple lips greeting her cute button nose
Those gorgeous, piercing eyes
That somehow made me feel safe
I memorized every inch and contour
So I could always remember her
Like it was the last time I would see it
And I was right
Her supple lips greeting her cute button nose
Those gorgeous, piercing eyes
That somehow made me feel safe
I memorized every inch and contour
So I could always remember her
Like it was the last time I would see it
And I was right

Farewell to Love
I guess it really is over
The final tether torn asunder
Ripped to shreds like my love for you
Unrecognizable pieces of my heart strewn about
A foolish part of me
Held on desperately
The notion that we could work
That we just got the timing wrong
But the timing was right
I’ve loved you after all this time
Still so very strong and true
A somber love not meant to grow or last
You were a jarring lesson for me;
Never give your heart away
For it will always return to you in pieces
To collect and repair by...

Wishbone Pier (a love lost)
I pondered life one starry night,
and the lights above seemed not so bright.
I chipped away at a painted sill
when a shooting star left me a chill.
Layered paint from stories told,
fell as kids grew young to old.
I touched the scars from families past
and felt a nudge from strength they cast.
Through troubled times and all their best
they knew and whispered my unrest;
“The journey we all know and love,
comes with grace from high above.
A simple plan helped us to grow,
as those before us watched the show.”

The worst of cures
He had bought a flat in a new apartment bloc still not ready for the buyers, but since it was Sunday, he drove to the building to have a look risky surgery and worried he might live long enough to move into his new home in time
A lift had been installed took it up to the seventh floor, flat looked roomy although it had no floor or windows there was a terrace without railing on the terrace he took in the view, could see the bay and the ocean, the sun warmed his face

The Silence of Regret
My pain learned not to forget
Even though I have
I’ve stumbled
I’ve fallen
All my bruises are deep-rooted in despair
What will become of me?
Every expectation
Has become an exercise in futility
Nihility
Will I become a victim of obscurity?
I don’t remember the sound of my own laughter
I look for her in corners and shadows
Her presence fading, unfelt
Exhaustion attempts to befriend me
Stealing precious moments
He’s been present for far too long
Torn between...

Chaotic Seizures..Her Aura Phase
Thrusting, squeezing with a rhymic pulsing
Screaming and moaning, her heart rate increased
Deja vu, her body now convulsing
Euphoric tension soon to be released
Fulfilled with a sense of intense pleasure
Tremoring and violently shaking
Releasing her body's golden treasure
Before collapsing from this love making
Pandemonium and chaos ensued
As the film crew quickly rushed to the set
Panic filled the room as the mood subdued
Still aroused I was extremely upset

Fading Away Our Love (collab with Vision of Insanity)
I knew the end
Before it has started
A cold wind
Freezes my heart
And the pain tears us apart
Always weeping
inside my chest
I had to tell him
I couldn't string this along
Our two hearts were once one
Now only emptiness
I call home
Our time will fade
The end of all today
A blackened sun
Shines my next day
As the stars come out
I want to be with you
But the next day
Realization shows through
We were no good together
You know this to be true
Nothing harder ...

A light scent of spring wraps Victorian bones,
Untold tales settle deep within the mortar.
daisies and buttercups haunt the evening,
as warmth is chased the length of fresh cut grass.
Hopscotch chalk fades on the pavement,
a tepid rain washes nostalgia into the cracks.
Curious, mischievous minds in search of adventure
plummet through glass houses,
A lost tooth never found in the ghost of an old world wagon.
Quivering lips sip from a china cup,
holding back tears, seeking refuge within pages.
A rift in the doorway whispers of...

Guilty bitterness
I'm supposed to be angry with you
At least that's what everyone says
Maybe i hold you in a light
Whilst sulking in the dark
How can I be angry
When it was my mistake?
I'm supposed to be angry for me
Constantly being reminded
That what you declared was cruel
But i can't help the pedestal
That i hold for you in spite
Of what you said
I make excuses for you
Create poems and art of you
Understanding why you spoke
Those ruthless words of fault
And accept the blame
With my...

Hey, where you drivin’. What’s your plan.
Will you circle round again, try an understand.
Catch a toxic glimpse, a decent chew on fear.
When all the while the maniac’s in rear view mirror.
Yeah, now you see it, ‘first chance,’ and time is up.
So, what yawl binge thinkin’,
fill yer vein-junk cup?
Yeah,
you’re freakin’ tweekin’ now,
you’re all in what to do.
It’s the ‘law, drugs, and money,’
ease on back and think this through.
‘And through!’
You owe, whoa, owe, bad blood
who live to feud, ...

A Product Of Mind Boggling Rarity
Artful
Brainy and crafty
A person with a psychopathic personality
Though with a full sense of moral responsibility
A product of mind boggling rarity
Coldly and bluntly, letting you know that I've committed so many atrocities
Living for decade in disguise in a sorority
Who at school cannot solve the math problems of inequalities?
On the brink of insanity
Living in a hidden agony
Standing tall alone on a battlefield
Everywhere I turn piles of dead bodies
Bleeding from my injuries ...
