On the Eve of Grace
I tried so hard not to let them fall. So, I did my best to force them to stay inside. Where it was safe. I tried to protect them from being seen and becoming just another, one. I held them back from releasing what they were designed to do. I began to believe they hated me. They burned with fury and rage wanting to be set free, Yet I held them captive. I fed them with lies, hoping no one would see that I, kept them locked inside. They were beginning to become a burden as I carried them around day end and day out. I felt like an imposter. Keeping in such a dark secret, replacing frowns with...

Herringbone
Over the dark from distant shores
through the night's sooted cores
with prayers altering my ego
of cloistered monks in monasteries
feeling the sap of life drain
pleasuring my metamorphosis
of death's cracked wings
dripping blood on my herringbone
through the night's sooted cores
with prayers altering my ego
of cloistered monks in monasteries
feeling the sap of life drain
pleasuring my metamorphosis
of death's cracked wings
dripping blood on my herringbone

Clean my eyes
Clean my eyes
For I oft weep
The things I see around-
The misery and gloom on which I brood
tears me up.
Clean my eyes
For the starving children
The ones they show no more on television
Clean my eyes
For men have gone astray
I am lost in the crowd
I am alone - I am astray
Clean my eyes, clean my eyes
For the sorrow on which I brood
Oft tears me up
For I oft weep
The things I see around-
The misery and gloom on which I brood
tears me up.
Clean my eyes
For the starving children
The ones they show no more on television
Clean my eyes
For men have gone astray
I am lost in the crowd
I am alone - I am astray
Clean my eyes, clean my eyes
For the sorrow on which I brood
Oft tears me up

The Pain Of Love
When Love has your
poor heart aching
nothing will make
the pain of Love
go away...the pain
in your aching heart
never gets any better
or any worse it only
aches and aches...
making you wonder
how could Love do
such a terrible thing
to anyone and only
the hands of time
can ease the pain
slowly the aching pain
of Love will fade away
you might get over it
you might not...only
time will tell
poor heart aching
nothing will make
the pain of Love
go away...the pain
in your aching heart
never gets any better
or any worse it only
aches and aches...
making you wonder
how could Love do
such a terrible thing
to anyone and only
the hands of time
can ease the pain
slowly the aching pain
of Love will fade away
you might get over it
you might not...only
time will tell

Night Falls in Manchester
I kissed you goodbye,
watched you walk out the door
How was I to know
I wouldn't kiss you anymore?
When we woke on that morning,
it was just another day
Never could I have dreamed
that you'd be stolen away
How is it the world doesn't stop
when so many shattered hearts break?
Where are heaven's angels
when the sky's on fire with rage?
Darkness falls on Manchester
while the minions of Satan laugh
Does love still exist inside of man
or am I a fool to even ask?
Surely terror is the refuge of...
watched you walk out the door

Never could I have dreamed

How is it the world doesn't stop

Floating homeward
Darkness fell over her
Like gray liquid night
Her mind was not her own
Rest easy sweet child
Float homeward into the loam
No more pain
No more sadness
No more searching
For that lost happiness
You've taken your place
With the angels
Amongst the sparkling stars
Like gray liquid night
Her mind was not her own
Rest easy sweet child
Float homeward into the loam
No more pain
No more sadness
No more searching
For that lost happiness
You've taken your place
With the angels
Amongst the sparkling stars

Elegy For David Macleod
Alright brother,
irreverent zephyr,
let’s do this,
raw and unpolished,
let’s do it up,
good and proper.
Noon high sunlight,
heedless of bronze epaulette,
rounding tender,
brown shoulder,
held by hand,
laced and strong,
blue white neons crowing,
from evening saturnalias,
of cities,
warrior,
your shadow stood,
in kind sentinel,
passing over,
rough faces,
illumined,
electric glow,
mists dreaming tendrils curl, ...

You have been gone exactly thirty six days, and it is as if a part of me has died.
Like the world has suddenly stopped turning, as if the whole earth has gone quiet.
It feels like an eternity to me, how I will never see you smile again, or hear your voice.
I am surrounded inside of an ocean that is filled with the stench of death, And I am drowning in it.
I feel as if I have died a thousand deaths since the night you left this world,
Like the air that I am forcing myself to breathe is ridden with nothing but bile and misery.
I am searching for you...

Processing: Diary Collection - 1.21
I went to
immortalise the woman with thoughtful words
some she deserved, with some heart
some earth behind them
almost made it before the third line
where I dived off
into tedious grievances
family history --
to contrast was the goal
but it just went on
about my little brother
my grandfather’s assholery
my mom as a victim of her upbringing
in the face of verbal assault
on her young son
my rage over it all
how my grandmother
had stood...

Lullaby
The piano's playing me silent night of grief..
Can't help surrendering myself to defeat..
Absconding from my demons remain a mystery..
Same routines everyday, even yesterday and today..
Roaming in a scary place called a fantasy..
Dwelling in my fantasy is the only thing left that life couldn't take out of me..
Everyone leapfrogged me hard to take it..
What to do? This is what they called destiny..
After all is said and done guess no more games in the mind flattering to deceive..
From afar I heard Mama singing me lullabies aiding and...
