Abolish the thought police
Lies within smears make their arrow in a quiver
Babylonian word magic led by mind bow shiver
Raining from clouded thoughts 'neath midnight
As a blindfold mental desert dims with no sight
-
Shattering cerebral switch toggle a heart unfelt
Suppresses creativity by lynching of justice delt
Dull and deaf led like sheep to slaughter a soul
So narrate what not to say as you speak it bold
Babylonian word magic led by mind bow shiver
Raining from clouded thoughts 'neath midnight
As a blindfold mental desert dims with no sight
-
Shattering cerebral switch toggle a heart unfelt
Suppresses creativity by lynching of justice delt
Dull and deaf led like sheep to slaughter a soul
So narrate what not to say as you speak it bold

Never for
Their couch never for sitting
And grass never for standing
So their lips never for kissing
Lonely heart never for loving,
--
Having legs never for walking
With mind never for thinking
Our earth never for spinning
This poem never for reading.
And grass never for standing
So their lips never for kissing
Lonely heart never for loving,
--
Having legs never for walking
With mind never for thinking
Our earth never for spinning
This poem never for reading.

Fight
Clock will strike
Thunder claps
Lightning hits
Aftermath
Ruin here
Fallen there
Please beware
Hold with care
Broken piece
Crazy thief
Mirror crack
Underneath
Hidden gold
Treasure found
Ship will sail
Journey bound
Fear filled eyes
Danger seen
Full surprise
In between
Hope of all
Dream for you
Road to find
Things to do
Moments lost
Trust unknown
Lies deceive
All alone
All you have
All you got
Living life ...

Without
A writer without paper
A painter without a muse
A home without a family
A reporter without the news
A sun without the light
The sky without the stars
The hope without the fear
The wound without the scars
The moments you remember
The life you have chosen
The times of your journey
The things that were set in motion
A mind without a thought
A dream without a wish
A soul without one's guilt
A start without a niche
A break but still intact
A crack but still complete ...
A painter without a muse
A home without a family
A reporter without the news
A sun without the light
The sky without the stars
The hope without the fear
The wound without the scars
The moments you remember
The life you have chosen
The times of your journey
The things that were set in motion
A mind without a thought
A dream without a wish
A soul without one's guilt
A start without a niche
A break but still intact
A crack but still complete ...

Age of jive
Effect replaces cause by the time loop rhyming makes
Nothing more asleep than the "woke" resistance cupcake
Shout at the devil inside as you project your crimes on others
Sleep a morally superior night as you pillow truth till it smothers
Nothing more asleep than the "woke" resistance cupcake
Shout at the devil inside as you project your crimes on others

Truth syrup
Swapping helmets amidst the mad hatter
Overly stewed time within here space pot
Satyr woodrose fawning a state of matter
Dionysus base upon sin-soaked sated lot
Understanding the substance ere deduce
Speak in tongued inclinations lately anew
Flowering idea roots a proceeded obtuse
Rinse every sunrise with moonshine dew
Overly stewed time within here space pot
Satyr woodrose fawning a state of matter
Dionysus base upon sin-soaked sated lot
Understanding the substance ere deduce
Speak in tongued inclinations lately anew

My soul
Why do things happen?
Why won't the pain go away?
Why am I invisible?
Why can't it be okay?
Why can't I sleep?
Why can't I believe?
Why am I broken?
Why do they leave?
My life is never easy
My mind will never rest
Lies are all I hear
I've always tried my best
Yet I'm still falling
Never allowed to heal
Tortured and beaten endlessly
Emotions can be hard to feel
I think it might be over
But it is just beginning
I can't win this fight
The devil himself is winning
...

Unread story
Tell me your story
Tell me your journey
Tell me who you are
Tell me what you see
Light and dark
Soul ripped apart
Alone and lost
Back to the start
Dreams of life
Birds from up high
Black and white
Light in the sky
Truth of it all
One more muse to draw
Thoughts of self art
Imperfection and flaw
Memory and self doubt
Hidden behind a cloud
Lies within the veil
Love and hope disallowed
Running from the past
Looking at your present
One question to ask ...
Tell me your journey
Tell me who you are
Tell me what you see
Light and dark
Soul ripped apart
Alone and lost
Back to the start
Dreams of life
Birds from up high
Black and white
Light in the sky
Truth of it all
One more muse to draw
Thoughts of self art
Imperfection and flaw
Memory and self doubt
Hidden behind a cloud
Lies within the veil
Love and hope disallowed
Running from the past
Looking at your present
One question to ask ...

Decision
Troubles come
Troubles go
Life is hard
Don't you know
But we can
Find a home
Our pain
Will leave our soul
We will make it
It's our time
Hear my voice
Inside your mind
Hidden light
Life to find
Secrets leave
Close your eyes
On a sunday
As we pray
On our knees
We will say
Come to me
It will be okay
Hold your heart
Love will always stay
Hold your head up
Believe in you
Turn around
You can do
You are strong
You'll get...

Karma to burn
I think therefore I am...So I think?
Innocent heart loves overflowing
Will God show it's face and wink?
So dry up this tear of unknowing
-
Second sorriest excuse to believe
Seal of soul nevermore credulous
Prime original principles conceive
Adversity is scantily serendipitous
Innocent heart loves overflowing
Will God show it's face and wink?
So dry up this tear of unknowing
-
Second sorriest excuse to believe
Seal of soul nevermore credulous
Prime original principles conceive
Adversity is scantily serendipitous

An artificial spirit
Flow hither heart yet is torn asunder
Shaped desires amidst a stygian dark
Vowel-chime proceeding into wonder
An inner ring of timbre draws a mark
Gods below fly in heaven subterrene
Twilight from obscure love grim unlit
Amble mental trickster moonlit reign
Blue lightless soul now broken emits
Shaped desires amidst a stygian dark
Vowel-chime proceeding into wonder
An inner ring of timbre draws a mark
Gods below fly in heaven subterrene
Twilight from obscure love grim unlit
Amble mental trickster moonlit reign
Blue lightless soul now broken emits

The end
You hear a whisper
On the darkest night
Alone and afraid
No way to fight
The moon it glows
The stars will spin
The lights go out
Your life it ends
A reaper appears
His scythe in hand
A new beginning
A soul is damned
You cry for a chance
A way to change your past
A moment of redemption
But time will never last
So sorry for your mistakes
All the ones you had hurt
The lives you had ruined
Making others question their worth
Now down below you go
Never to be seen...
On the darkest night
Alone and afraid
No way to fight
The moon it glows
The stars will spin
The lights go out
Your life it ends
A reaper appears
His scythe in hand
A new beginning
A soul is damned
You cry for a chance
A way to change your past
A moment of redemption
But time will never last
So sorry for your mistakes
All the ones you had hurt
The lives you had ruined
Making others question their worth
Now down below you go
Never to be seen...
