I Will Always Have Today
I think most
have walked the edge
the one separating is and isn't
a world of competing sensations
or the cloying tasteless grey
some walk the edge daily
a ritual and addiction
seeking reason
to pick up a lifetime of burdens
hoisting the weight of sin and regret
and carry it another mile
I have been this person
in many ways I still am
to live each day as the last
and in that final denial of humanity
something grows unforeseen
the flowing, caressing water
of a simple shower
the evening breeze
cooling...

The others
You live rent free in your head.
No intention is valued.
Your resilience is incredible,like "Duracell" you continue,and continue and continue and never ends.
In their peeon heads,they think by their continuous attacks on you,it will create descent. Not knowing,your innermost strength prevails,as it's meant.
A natural born alchemist.
Whatever negative you go through,makes you more powerful.
You are not normal.
You are an unrecognisable sentient.
But in their brain,you are nothing,
merely a meagre lowly crumb.
To step...

Hungriest Predator
Hunts last
A still tongue, a wise mind
Hunts last
Shades of decay ring clear
Idiosyncratic shaft
Bubbling inside
Lust will froth…
Hungriest Predator hunts last
Assiduous reverberation
Shimmering prescience
Absolute intoxication

The Fox
At dawn, the hungry fox forgets to munch,
For you, it starves, its brain in quite a crunch,
At noon, it eyes its food but can't take a bite,
Your charms have left it in quite a silly plight.
By twilight, it's a mess, a bewildered, lovesick hunch,
With a belly grumbling and a mind out to lunch,
Through sleepless nights, it's you that's in its bed,
But really, it should be eating, the fox has said.

Moon over Borneo
gather near o’ kinfolks mine
by the fire's glow let's hear the chant
sacred circle and holding hands
let spirit's call from ancient mind
guidance we seek from realms of yore
wise ancestors’ spirits of old
your wisdom we seek for knowledge be
may the veil of time gently shift
guide us enlighten us o' wise one
we summon powers of the divine
we chant our mantra from earth's deep
incantations to scour the heavens high
we call upon the spirits from high
visions be granted our wishes be
darkness banish our sights be...

Ode to Belzébuth
On the altar as a sacrifice
To Belzébuth
Lays the young victim
Drugged to sleep
A vein opened
The blood flow controlled
By the High Priest,
The blood served in chalices
In a perfect mix of
Half blood, half wine of the highest quality
And served on silver plates
Along with honeyed waffles.

And served on silver plates

modest finances
Modest finances
We're supposed to travel to the Algarve, stay at a posh hotel, and eat at a restaurant that sells African food
on my birthday
So many medical bills coming, an unhealthy thud in our post-box and the tediousness of re-insuring the car to walk in our car-infested town and the lengths to banks and medical facility makes a car
a must.
Of course, we could go to the Algarve, stay at a doss house, and risk fighting the bedbugs, there have been many French tourists this year.
When the finances are modest, it is not tragic one has to be less craven...

Another War
Another war,
It's been heard before.
Another war,
What's this one for?
Another war,
Hundreds dead, if not more.
Another war,
Weapons causing uproar.
Another war,
Shaking societies to the core.
Another war,
More commotion, more furore.
Another war?
Cease fire and be enemies no more.

No man’s land
She dreamt of a love pure as the driven snow . Unblemished. It isn’t though . Love is messy it hurts at times and it hides behind pride . It lacks compassion and words and lies . Not in the beginning but give it time . The believer becomes the atheist for ever more and it can never open up like before . Once your trust has been tested beyond all sane comprehension, I have cancer he said to cover up an affair with a baby on the way. Pain sets up home . It’s a form of personal protection . It is though the end of the line . A destructive destination . She stands on no man’s land ....

Sacrifice
you can say whatever you want
I'll sell my soul to the devil
if only to protect the broken
maybe that makes me evil
using his power
but I ain't dumb
I know I'll burn up
when it's all said and done
but with each flame
is a life I'll save
picture me with a smile on my face
just know it cost me everything
I can be your hero
I can be your savior
I can hold up the world
I can get the girl
I can also be your sacrifice
the one to blame for all your pain
hurling insults my way
just know it cost me...

Who cares what we see ?
I understand now that I'm not a wreck but a deeply caring person in a structured decaying environment . I feel deep emotions I cry and I smile because I'm paying attention. Watching all the time and I feel every change in a face without a sound . It’s my heart it’s infiltrated my eyes and my mind . People are becoming a commodity how many hours of a body can be utilised working for its pay to stay afloat in sinking boats of interest rises and electric and gas charges and the cost to just survive. No wonder we are becoming desensitised. How can one not be to cope in such choppy waters . I...
