Such a little puppet
With several severed strings
Just an old familiar song
No one really sings
Trapped inside life's hourglass
The walls distort my view
Kaleidoscope emotions
Colors old and new
Quite a simple loner
A silent scream out loud
Nothing individual
Faceless in the crowd
Longing for a different place
With greener grass I'm sure
Always just outside the grasp
That is the allure
Forever will I wander
At least inside my head
An empathetic being
Feeling what is said ...

The Gauntlet
Tsun-a-mi's.
Soon a mis 'tis,
coming,
all enveloping truce.
Ship bashing against asleep to slap me from it,
Steel, a sloop still crashes and crinkled,
cut the surface tension,
To fall upon a saturated bed.
She pushes on the swell to leave a waking divide in the dawn.
I take to the bow,
it dips into a wet wall, swipe, and salt washes all that was away,
presents a new plight.
Twilight in the mind field and Hokusai.
Japanese traditional lucid anxiety,
candid astray,
iron cast...a -way there.

In the realms of Uncertainty.
In the realms
Of uncertainty
Body tense ,
Adrenaline
Flowing freely through your veins
Hands clammy , hot
Sweat on you brow
Heart feeling shot
Sending you
Internal text messages
That lodge deep within
That nagging feeling
Vague but persistent
Like a drum beat
Slow to random
You know it’s
There telling you
To run
This doesn’t
Feel right
Better the devil you know
You been acquaintances
For years
But have you truly felt
Raw , giving your all ...

Ice Aged
Glowing embers
In a cooling hearth
As a cold winter wind
Begins to creep through
Cracked windows
And groaning oaken doors
Followed by the ice
Sculpturing crazy patterns
Across the glass
Like frozen snowflakes
Soon
Even time stands still
As the pendulum
Is caught
Mid swing
The ramshackle
Almost derelict cottage
Lies alone
In the midst
In a frozen desolate wasteland
Lying within the beautiful bleakness
And the loud silence
Other than the sound
Of cracking ice
And long muted...

Swipe
I did again
I did again
What did I gain
WHHAAA- swipe :)
Here I am and it's ten fifty five at night I'm swiping again at them dating apps mrrraaagh
I don't really know what I stand to gain again I'm faced with this argument
(Like do you ever read the room or your emotions?)
I have no self control when it comes to being alone I don't
mhm..
(And repetition doesn't drive you crazy?)
Awh man, I'm glad now that you asked it's been the 4th month back to back with this
(With what?)
Whit this!
(What's that?) ...

Weeds
She waited faithless for the end of life
last chocolate lonely
destiny ordained like melting ice
lost in sadness as the days swirled by
in a humdrum haze of chores
before her slow walk to the store
then the window's cruel boredom
aimlessly counting passers by
forgetting how to form a smile
until the last of the light wrought sleep
bringing respite for tears inside
all hope hushed from dreams
drowned in the dust of long ago
when the weeds began to grow
her poison of tomorrow
as certain as emptied time

Guilt
Why do you still hold on to that foolish hope?
Surely you know that you are better suited alone
Why lie that anyone should care for you?
You take without guilt or discrimination
Do not pretend to have grown a conscience
How do you think yourself good?
You only speak to them when you want something
And leave them unable to answer
You will always hunger
Always thirst
And never learn
Surely you know that you are better suited alone
Why lie that anyone should care for you?
You take without guilt or discrimination
Do not pretend to have grown a conscience
How do you think yourself good?
You only speak to them when you want something
And leave them unable to answer
You will always hunger
Always thirst
And never learn

Lonely
I miss you, nothing else to say.
Siberia's the heating of my heart.
Why was it impossible to stay?
To give us a fresh new start.
I guess I have to stay alone.
Your place is always there.
In fact, my chest contains a stone,
its pulsations I can't bear.
I depend on myself now.
I drew my force from you.
I have to go on but how?
I really .... have no clue.
It's sad to be alone.
Feeling lonely burdens me.
We won't really have a home,
where will I even be?
I had a purpose and a dream.
Now the wind...

William and Kate both look for reassurance, as quite obviously they do have imposter syndrome!
By Stanley Collymore
Why does that British emigre
and his awful American
wife always have to
simply put on a show for the cameras?
Oh hang on a minute I've got it wrong,
those two that we're really seeing are
Kate and William! Ah, how effectively
sweet! And, they're so clearly in love!
Yet, if Harry and Meghan hold hands
in public or express their undeniably
genuine and keenly loving emotions
towards each other they're naturally
according to that abundance of vile
racist...

Grieving ghost
Shooting stars reigned down
Upon lovers laying on the grass
Neither knowing their future
Would soon become their past
Accidents are never planned
Nor is grief
A life taken
By a cat like thief
Another left to carry on
Like it's ok, alright, nothings wrong
But everyone knows the truth
That it won't be long
The signs start to show
No returned calls
Disheveled appearance
Retreating behind walls
It was meant to be
So the story goes
A lost love
Followed by a grieving ghost ...
