Crabs
Crabs turning red, petals strew the lawn
sky cloudless, dark at nine
memories of summer fade again;
winter coats in halls.
Wellies dry with mud sulk in porches
Brambles black and sweet join apples,
barmy evenings warm and short
darker clouds to watch.
sky cloudless, dark at nine
memories of summer fade again;
winter coats in halls.
Wellies dry with mud sulk in porches
Brambles black and sweet join apples,
barmy evenings warm and short
darker clouds to watch.

I Bring The World With Me
It's all about the money
Fake titles and what the fans are loving
Never about the struggle
And how the world stays hungry
Internet celebrities
and gaming for dummies
You led the generation to a mind numbing
Sensational sense fucking
Borrowed time for pleasantries
Worshipped the underlying cause
And affected the common question
With your politically correct arrogant response
While girl's are becoming victims
The men are becoming animals now
The News is creating headlines
To keep people on edge ...
Fake titles and what the fans are loving
Never about the struggle
And how the world stays hungry

And affected the common question

Where God's Agree
This isn't Earth anymore you've created Hell,
Congratulations you all must be so proud
Anxiety-ridden and sweet passionate hatred
For kinds of people who have no real attachment to your life
Your strife, your inexperience to handle confrontation
The petty fights and bullet laced race wars that no one is actually having but in your own mind
It's not fine, it's not just "these people don't speak for us though"
Do they not?
What contribution to a better world has any of us done?
We slave away at a job to which gives us nothing but currency to buy...

Their virtuous dictatorship
Pawns under dark mind trickery
Sorcerous thru a shifting bigotry
Into illusion plantation grooming
With the poorest in debt fooling,
Authorities are instructed to heel
While these subjects made to feel
Their fabricated witching to spell,
A corrupt moral superiority
A malevolent sense of justice
A malicious sense of peace,
Still, these very fanatics evoke
Now with a trick external cloak,
Of pseudo-righteous theatric lies
At behalf of those they despise,
A voodoo wiz to the devils' beg
So...
Sorcerous thru a shifting bigotry
Into illusion plantation grooming
With the poorest in debt fooling,
Authorities are instructed to heel
While these subjects made to feel

Still, these very fanatics evoke
Now with a trick external cloak,
Of pseudo-righteous theatric lies

The Plutonian Shore
One day we all go to the Plutonian Shore,
Rich men and poor men no matter what they adore,
Young fresh out the womb or old reminiscing days of yore,
Peaceful demise or a demise of gore,
All mortal beings no matter the tallest heights or the deepest trenches we all will hit the floor,
Where the light goes out and eternal darkness in a void of nothing all will enter that back door,
Life creates her beings brings them into this world when the clock strikes death welcomes souls into his hall everyday in galore,
When our time runs up we walk into deaths skeletal...
Rich men and poor men no matter what they adore,
Young fresh out the womb or old reminiscing days of yore,
Peaceful demise or a demise of gore,
All mortal beings no matter the tallest heights or the deepest trenches we all will hit the floor,
Where the light goes out and eternal darkness in a void of nothing all will enter that back door,
Life creates her beings brings them into this world when the clock strikes death welcomes souls into his hall everyday in galore,
When our time runs up we walk into deaths skeletal...

Slaying rhetorical dragons
While some will grow up only to sink down
Playing harmonic progression of no sound
Battle Titans with whipped autosuggestion
Such balderdash answers beg the question,
Forgotten Van Gogh of a Thoreau meadow
One man tango thru a gauntlet of shadow
Infernal cure paid with witty shekels galore
Figurative dirt falls upon their golden floor,
Cicero row your boat to a philosophical sea
Sing for one's supper on one operatic knee
Invisible ink used in the letter they penned
While pulling a fast one until the bitter end.
Playing harmonic progression of no sound
Battle Titans with whipped autosuggestion
Such balderdash answers beg the question,
Forgotten Van Gogh of a Thoreau meadow
One man tango thru a gauntlet of shadow
Infernal cure paid with witty shekels galore

Cicero row your boat to a philosophical sea
Sing for one's supper on one operatic knee
Invisible ink used in the letter they penned
While pulling a fast one until the bitter end.

Islands...
Islands in the sea ,I've lost you all behind me.The ignorance of values in ones taste ,once you've kissed the filth in this human race.On and on with the way to do the bit, to all the doubters who said prove it. How many times alone in the world because no one cares, head looking down you know the junky stare. Drifting along with no one at the wheel ,all ways numb never feel. Ever drown yourself dieing in your mind, letting it all go in reckless define. Why do I dare if no one else cares?, their bullshit ways ,the butt fuck stares. I'm inside me in control standing there, so I stomp on you...

Cooking
Tomato,
The blood of revenge;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Carrot,
Thy roots of evil;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Zucchini,
The hardened - softens;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Basil,
My will upon yours;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Potato,
That which rots will yield again;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Last joint,
Bring it to boil;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
The blood of revenge;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Carrot,
Thy roots of evil;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Zucchini,
The hardened - softens;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Basil,
My will upon yours;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Potato,
That which rots will yield again;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.
Last joint,
Bring it to boil;
I shall mourn until tomorrow.

Yesterday
Where do you go,
do you hide away in
the latest darkness?
Before leaving us
sing out
from behind the stars.
Maybe you are a dream
that has not yet
begun.
From tomorrow's
ample breast,
you may arise.
do you hide away in
the latest darkness?
Before leaving us
sing out
from behind the stars.
Maybe you are a dream
that has not yet
begun.
From tomorrow's
ample breast,
you may arise.

Where once , a timeless gap
Looking into
universe
of fjords
Deep wind
cries
Wind cries
deep
Beyond peace
chasmed chaos
afloat
this sea
Metal mimicry
Zink sinks
in
Creating anew
evolution
of'numb(ers)
Gathered
in 77
lives
There is
a dried drop
of blood
upon a
stainless
flag
Today
remains
framed
it never
goes
away

Deep wind

My first love
You came to me
Like dew
I fell into
Topaz
pools
Feeling the magnetising
glow , a place I knew
Opened from within
My love lay down
your head and let me
shake feral winds
from your hair
Let me devour
each demon
darkening stranger
beside us
From shrines
dark soot blew
out a candle
I watched you fade
and even sea\s salt
could not brace
my tears
I would quote you...
