Little Red Lying Hood.
What's the matter, little Red?
Have you grown tired of hauling your scarlet burden;
through the vastness of his forest?
You never thought he'd stick around long enough,
to see what was kept in your basket?
Too bad it simply held lies and betrayal.
Grandmother wouldn't be so proud...
Good thing she's been dead to you for some time now,
and you took over her name in irony.
Innocence can be the only true fairy-tale,
but some still believe in magic.
So you mask your basket in a crimson cloak.
You may have a heavy...

Bonne Nuit
You tell me all thats left of me is speeches,
and they always end the same way.
Blame... blame... the victim game.
So maybe I did use you for comfort,
but then why's my bed so cold?
And all you can offer is this blanket of regret.
At least you're sure to wrap me up tightly,
before feeding me your somber bedtime stories.
You know I was always better at midnight fables.
And I can see you're exhausted at the thought.
Your yawns are growing louder by the minute;
drowning my apologies into the darkness.
...

tango
♪a rhymed, mirrored octet♪
when i was young and skies were blue
and clouds chased one another
under the shade of the
sweet spreading mango
m a n y secrets
i would hide
from m y
friends
t h e n
w h e n i
truth denied
all my regrets
a restless tango
flamed by the deep water
that swept away my buffer
taught me from death to start anew

Close to the end
Ive lived this life of torture for longer than I wanted
Cauldrons of regret boil into my depression.
Its a concoction of all I've shamed of.
Days of better into reduction
Its my turn to burn, simmer and wither.
Each passing hour screams to my brain
I'll sit alone completely restrained
Haunted of myself dealing within is pain.
I know I've hurt I know I've caused the chaos
Bleeding orange screaming red my skies burn with all I've lost
Tangle me pull me down, tear from limb to limb
Muscle tissue from...
Cauldrons of regret boil into my depression.
Its a concoction of all I've shamed of.
Days of better into reduction
Its my turn to burn, simmer and wither.
Each passing hour screams to my brain
I'll sit alone completely restrained
Haunted of myself dealing within is pain.
I know I've hurt I know I've caused the chaos

No Excuses
The pellet hit your breast
and took my breath,
my mind followed a rising panic
of realisation, I had taken a life.
I had laid the breadcrumbs,
hid behind the garden wall
waited in silence as you landed,
lined the sight, squeezed the trigger
it was all my responsibility.
Your body was still warm
as I tried to revive you
soft like you were filled with water.
The colour of your beak
the clarity of your eyes
the perfect design of your feathers
all wasted by me.
I buried you in the garden
and made...

The Queen of the Damned is a Smokeshow
I almost ditched
A nice easy gig
For chains and snow drifts
Where all you feel is your chattering teeth
I was so bored
And then thought of you
A letter from the IRS
Whenever I’m cold
I think of you
I think of space
The black holes that were your eyes
And the gravity
The gravity
Cygnus X-1, the Swan
It was still
And tranquil
And so empty
Inside you
And
Not dead
Not alive
I laid there
Barely breathing
For a season
Persephone, Persephone
You’re a...

A WOMAN OF STRENGTH
From my heart I remember the pain that dugged deep within my soul of souls from the hurt, I felt when the sadness as well as the regrets for ever trusting you with my heart as giving it to you thinking that the love will be returned but instead, all I got was heartaches with tears of many lonely days and nights to fill my eyes with tears running down my face.
But yet as time has pass since that day of our last good byes I had alot of time to...

Cupid's Arrow
At that moment, everything stopped….
All pettiness faded into unnoticed surroundings.
We were fantastic for each other,…and in love, our eyes glistening for each other.
Our smiles were running away together…into childhood daydreams of ideal scenarios as we stood like a monument to unfurled hearts…
And then, with a few choice words….
She fucking ruined it!!

Penance
Forbidden fruit pressed in hand
Hell whispers tenderly
The apple is sweet, bite bite
The hiss echoes in eternity
Now Firmly mired in sin
Each day more is owed
Finally I fell asleep
Dreaming of a different time
The sun warmed my face
In a loving embrace
Music softly playing on the breeze
But alas,
I awake in a place of tortures
Among discretions being tallied
The music muffled the screams
On the floor in a pool of blood
No longer a concern for me
The debt must be repaid
...

The Abyss
Dark clouds cover the sky
the abyss lays open before me
My mind grows weary;
an explosion of caos
lures me into unknown dimensions.
I have been forsaken by life;
just another marionette in the hands
of an unknown force.
The strings are pulled as I walk without will;
my head goes one way, my legs the other.
I've entered forbidden grounds.
I've opened Pandora's box without intention.
My life means nothing to me.
If only I could go back and correct my sin;
repair the heart that I have broken.
I'd lay myself down...
the abyss lays open before me
My mind grows weary;
an explosion of caos
lures me into unknown dimensions.
I have been forsaken by life;
just another marionette in the hands
of an unknown force.
The strings are pulled as I walk without will;
my head goes one way, my legs the other.
I've entered forbidden grounds.
I've opened Pandora's box without intention.
My life means nothing to me.
If only I could go back and correct my sin;
repair the heart that I have broken.
I'd lay myself down...

The First of the Final Words - (Pariah To Us All)
Comes a time....
(Times a come)
when blind
lead the deaf
lead the mute,
& back to blind.
Too blue, as blues will be,
to stir
the cat into
action.
Too blue
to serve
the dog
his kibbles & such,
and the writing of it all goes wretchedly awry,
from days thought so wise, & ending rapt
in dum-dummery.
The equations never seem to pan out, &
my'o'my, what a wonderful...

Pushing and running
We have been on a low with the rain coming in.
We have been hurting each other to the point we shouldn't be friends.
It's been something missing that we wouldn't find finger pointing.
The first step is to look back and look at our own reflections.
I have been pushing and you have been running.
Now that we have hit the bottom can we stop the descension.
It's too many years in this thing so can we start the elevation.
I know it's been so many downs you stopped counting.
I know it's been so much stress from me, you opened doors for another to come in. ...
