Loosing The Light
Cracks in the armor start to appear
How long before they figure it out?
Surely someone will sense the fear
That lingers behind this self-doubt
Falling fast into this desperate abyss
When was the last time it was silent?
The punchline was a swing and a miss
As a spectator quickly became violent
Flaming tongues searing paper flesh
How long till this soul bares the mark?
These lies are old but the pain is fresh
Loosing the light only leaves the dark

What a dumb shit!
When he found out how things really were between men & women
He was shocked how cutthroat both sexes were to one another
It was a drag to find out that everybody knew all the same shit and everyone played it off like it was nothing
All the things that go unsaid
They get shoved into your guts like cutlery
All the bullshit sex etiquette
It's like a miniature cold war
What a bunch of lies & ego trips
That's why all these people were so freaked out about each other
It's one big club
The look away & laugh club
A revelation the size...

Betrayal
winding in the energies, riding the winds
realizing my power I no longer withhold
letting it ride I right some wrongs
distant thunder the wind picks up speed
dispersing the dark building in me
ignoring my power thinking it wasn't manifesting anyway
with a nod to the festering hole in me
coming from the Onyx Kingdom I use calculation and wait
treachery is afoot
like my Father of all dominions I am listening
paying close attention to all his movements
because the devil is in the detail
and he whispers I'm missing...
realizing my power I no longer withhold
letting it ride I right some wrongs
distant thunder the wind picks up speed
dispersing the dark building in me
ignoring my power thinking it wasn't manifesting anyway
with a nod to the festering hole in me
coming from the Onyx Kingdom I use calculation and wait
treachery is afoot
like my Father of all dominions I am listening
paying close attention to all his movements
because the devil is in the detail
and he whispers I'm missing...

Review and remediation
I closed the thesis
I’d been peer reviewing
stood and stretched
and got a cup of
coffee before I
sat down to
meatier work
I put on reading
glasses
The type with the
blue filter coating
so I wouldn’t get
a headache from
complicated
reading
They make me look like
a sexy librarian
when I put my hair in a bun
But my hair is down as
I analyze the work I
failed to analyze
correctly,
and my
entire exigence
is skewed while ...

WHAT IS TRUE LOVE in
The eclipse of the moon is a eclipse of the sun, as it hides a change is gonna come as the same is true. FOR love is our happiness and support and encouragement, and respect with honesty and truth and trust. For sure we are still human beings, just looking for the betterment of our lives and life. YET with a positive level of substance in our relationship, that they are still by our side in the good times and the bad times. As in love with respect and supporting us together as one. That with a real honest commitment and consistency, and real communications between us. AS twin flames one...

Littered in Shame but Not Sorry
We did that
It was messy but that's where the lust lay
When the guilt bit hard
You wanted to be friends
We all know that's bullshit
Crash and burn lullaby
Nobody survives that unscathed
Then finally we became nothing
I don't hate you
I don't feel nothing
I don't even want to grudge fuck ya
Remember the old days
Bending you over my work desk
On overtime no less
Getting paid for our sins
That was something
We are a zero sum babe
I don't know if you cheated on me
We were already cheating on...
It was messy but that's where the lust lay
When the guilt bit hard
You wanted to be friends
We all know that's bullshit
Crash and burn lullaby
Nobody survives that unscathed
Then finally we became nothing
I don't hate you
I don't feel nothing
I don't even want to grudge fuck ya
Remember the old days
Bending you over my work desk
On overtime no less
Getting paid for our sins
That was something
We are a zero sum babe
I don't know if you cheated on me
We were already cheating on...

Juicy Lies
He cried wolf but now he weeps
All those lies caught up to him real quick
Meanwhile others are suffering from hate crimes
The world can be an ugly place but some people are sick
Was it for the attention? The spotlight?
Well now everybody knows he’s a liar and a fraud
And for the purpose of what? I just don’t understand
The truth revealed itself to break down this odd of facade
It’s all a mess, none of this makes sense
I guess sometimes fame creates some greed
Trying to play a victim says a lot about character
People are...

maybe we've had it wrong all along
they watch...
with their glass dagger eyes
sharpened to the point of gouging
razor tongues ever at the ready
eager to slash truth...
...into something more suitable
more in line with their toxic savagery
their ears like pools of poison
soaking up & destroying honesty
as it drips acid from their mouths
who knows from where these ghouls originate
as they spread lies...
whispered into porous minds
allowing such foul germs as judgment & hate to pollinate
turning them into a singly directed organism
many...

Ladies have you ever noticed how men?
love you more when their cocks are in your hands.
tell you things you want to hear so they can use you without fear.
treat you differently before and after you've milked them dry.
can break your heart and walk away but return with lies for one more lay.
know nothing about a womans parts and even less about their hearts.
will revert to type when denied what they expect.
are all the bloody same.
P.S
I know these things because I was one of those men, back in the day.
And discuss!

Like Water for Chocolate*
In the movie, after a life of cruelty
Evil Mama Elena's ghost
struck out one last time
against Love after death
That's what evil does
when it's exposed;
it plays the victim
to garner sympathetic attention—
attempts to destroy Light
strikes below the belt
with inuendo on its way out
rather than admit
its own wrong doings
( or alternate accounts )
SPOILER ALERT:
Truth overcomes—
so forgive yourself first
for years of deception ...

unexplainable draw
Beneath the surface
there's a blackhole of secrets
where trust was devoured
by the gravity of lies.
A smile, a porcelain mask,
delicate and fragile,
concealing the cracks
of betrayal beneath.
Each word spoken,
an origami fold,
Intricate and beautiful.
Battles within the hearts.
Yet a cuckoo's call
that echoed
as the whirlpool's pull
became too strong to resist.
