Strategy
There are always decisions to be made
Temptations loom
and resistance is futile
I choose to give in
to that which threatens only me
Save my strength
to resist
that which would spill over onto you
It's the closest to balance
I can achieve

There's Such Sights To Show You
I know
without you asking
Feel your soul's rampage
Unspoken are chilled secrets
which twist a dire spear
Harnessing natural care
we instant soothe
our mutual destruction
long and purposeful
Both sharing
needle and thread
Stitching each other closed
with tender hushes sewn
Mewing pleas to divinity
at every languid pull
Stem the bleeding
Where scars weep tears
Rip themselves open
Revealing
streams of unconcealed chaos
Single...

The darkness captivates me … (+Reading)
I'd sacrifice myself to you -
Right here tonight,
Because you know that I love you."
(London After Midnight – Sacrifice)
The darkness captivates me
I kneel down
Around – mute beauty
And, like velvet, shadows
I can feel the look on my skin
It trembles in my body
Spreading through the veins, poison
Inevitably seeks targets
I will sacrifice myself,
I will give my soul to your power
I will sacrifice myself,
yielding to the call of wild passion
I'm on my knees before you ...
Right here tonight,
Because you know that I love you."

The Why
What can
it
all mean
going from manifestation
to procreation
over
&
over again
Is it for succession
or
depression
Or something beyond our comprehension

Spy fiction in reverse

An underground realm
Peaceful claustrophobia-inducing
When considered metaphorically and literally,...
It is an unreal memory... embedded on my memory,
A storage space for computers,...
For isolationists in the wrong place at the wrong time
Developing skills and creative sensibilities
A repository of all secrets in a kind of a human time-capsule
This site could be just 100 meters away from my house.
So somewhere out there...
There had to be an interesting room...
Where I watched *La Femme Nikita* between...

Who Have I Become?
has pain deep within my soul
changed passion that used to be
into poison in my mind
how is it my heart bleeds
for only a certain few
and not for all around me
perhaps I have lost ability
to feel deep ness in others
or is it I gave up feeling
never thought I would ever be
a person to think only of themselves
there are times I’ve been selfish
I’m ashamed to have become this soul
who wants to be more involved
in peoples lives who I dearly luv
it seems once again.....

Aztec Sacrifice
His masters tell him, “Don’t lock gaze with feminine eyes. The pit of fire lies deep and hungry like an eclipsed sun whose darkness drives both human and animal mad with black crystal visions to blind the male with the smoking coals of night.”
And the palace of his childhood dreams shakes with earthquakes from unseen fault lines of the fairer sex. Prepubescent lesson one is that female felicitation of form and gravity is evanescent as the morning mist before a summer’s day. Soft curves slope into the pits of depravity from which there is no escape. The...

PURSUIT OF THYSELF
To be able to see the difference between who you are now, from who you use to be is definitely necessary. To reconnect to who you truly have become through the trials and tribulations, that has reshaped you from who you were before the storm. For even though life seems to be an misconception that once, you get to another level you don't have to change but that is far from the truth. For who you are in the reflection in the mirror is only the mirror image, that took time to change and as you had to learn to eliminate those things, that didn't fit your life style and rebuilding your world. To...

piety
I’ve laid the bull’s bones
and its thigh fat on
the altar stone
and set the pyre beneath them into flame
then prayed my sacrifice
would find some favor in
the eyes of Him,
the holy one
I call The Name..
But I was not so pious or
so brainless as to think
that breathing in the rising smoke,
however sweet the smell of it,
would take me up to Him
or cause me anything but agony
within my lungs
and make me Him disdain.
No, such a thing, I knew,
would root me to the earth
in coughing fits...

The riddle
We have your mind twisted
Have you feeling mentally inflicted
Have you looking deep inside yourself
Have the whole world questioning mental health
Swimming in the deep feet cemented
Raising youth to see things demented
Can you feel what im writing
All the riots inciting
Power blooms to the hands of evil
They make the rest suffer to feel regal
World living like a created clone
Cant think on their own
You choose to come on the ride
Making you your own monster cant hide
How did you think this came to be ...

A Child's Sacrifice
The sickle in my little hand,
is sharp enough to cut flesh...
Down to the bone, if needed.
Sacrifices for the gods of the land!
Blood, to water the soil, and more.
I do it by the gods' command...
the earth cries out to me afresh.
They foolishly never heeded!
The sickle in my little hand...
is brought down on bound neck,
Snuffing a grown sinner's spark.
One who sinned against the land!
Now they perish, unto their core.
They die by the gods' command...
Insignificant as the puniest speck.
Now they dwell in the outer...
is sharp enough to cut flesh...
Down to the bone, if needed.
Sacrifices for the gods of the land!
Blood, to water the soil, and more.
I do it by the gods' command...
the earth cries out to me afresh.
They foolishly never heeded!
The sickle in my little hand...
is brought down on bound neck,
Snuffing a grown sinner's spark.
One who sinned against the land!
Now they perish, unto their core.
They die by the gods' command...
Insignificant as the puniest speck.
Now they dwell in the outer...
