she keeps it all soaked up
she is one of a kind
so she thought
a ten in any formula
equaling of perfection
men took a double take
as quickly men said so long
after a dozen or so
wonder what was wrong
beauty is skin deep
ugly is clear to the bone
she was in love with herself
only room for her and no one else
see she's fare from perfect
there's no room for love
she keeps it all soaked up
so she thought
a ten in any formula
equaling of perfection
men took a double take
as quickly men said so long
after a dozen or so
wonder what was wrong
beauty is skin deep
ugly is clear to the bone
she was in love with herself
only room for her and no one else
see she's fare from perfect
there's no room for love
she keeps it all soaked up

Miracle Masquerade (Role Play - Act 2)
Enveloped beneath an umbrella of ministry
Obligations and counsel for pay without the desire to invest heart
In those not worth breaking it for
As the undertone of a disconcerted effort to care
Utters an unsubstantiated reason for you to be concerned
When a shepherd loses heart for the sheep
I peer in and oscillate between outsider and son
For the parallels of watching the happiness shared
It feels like something I can’t quite grasp entirely
Another church going consumer
Offering plate abandoned
For heart bought on another...
Obligations and counsel for pay without the desire to invest heart
In those not worth breaking it for
As the undertone of a disconcerted effort to care
Utters an unsubstantiated reason for you to be concerned
When a shepherd loses heart for the sheep
I peer in and oscillate between outsider and son
For the parallels of watching the happiness shared
It feels like something I can’t quite grasp entirely
Another church going consumer
Offering plate abandoned
For heart bought on another...

getting dressed in the dark (poverty)
Poverty wears me like an afterthought
like we got dressed in the dark
and half my clothes are on
inside out and backwards
I take the time to arrange each piece
into something that doesn't look threadbare
and holier than a drunk Sunday fuck
behind the church
while the pastor preaches about sin
I don't know if vanity is my saviour
but it gets me off my knees
and forces a respectability
you can't see between payday
and the reciepts that spell out debt
in slowly increasing numbers
I know...

The Flasher
I scream with my eyes the dents
of my chest but with my eyes
At every passing woman I wave
with the rum of my words and flash
the pose of a Biafran child
proffering a mind to pet
and a head to lay in the hollow
that your thighs form.
Poem and painting are mine
of my chest but with my eyes
At every passing woman I wave
with the rum of my words and flash
the pose of a Biafran child
proffering a mind to pet
and a head to lay in the hollow
that your thighs form.
Poem and painting are mine

Having Fun With Henry
O' what is a peasants role?
to pay the government toll
wake in the morning to harvest
the wheat, to grovel and scrape
at royalties feet...that is a peasants role
O' what is a king to do?
I stepped in rather large poo
you there, peasant remove your cloak
to clean away this stinky goo
it has soiled the royal shoe
now I don't mean to boast
but as king you must toast
for every peasant does see
the greatness that is me King Henry
the first he was first he was a bounder
the second...
to pay the government toll
wake in the morning to harvest
the wheat, to grovel and scrape
at royalties feet...that is a peasants role
O' what is a king to do?
I stepped in rather large poo
you there, peasant remove your cloak
to clean away this stinky goo
it has soiled the royal shoe
now I don't mean to boast
but as king you must toast
for every peasant does see
the greatness that is me King Henry
the first he was first he was a bounder

I fear but one
I do not fear God,
I don't fear death
Tornados, volcano's
And the burning pits of hell
I do not fear the venom of the serpent
Nor the belly of a lion
I do not fear time,
Nor the clutches of fate,
The dictation of destiny
And the inevitable collusion course
That too I do not fear
I do not fear
Love nor poetry
Magic nor sorcery
Politics nor treachery
Madness nor science
Damnation nor darkness
That too I do not fear
I only fear but one,
Mankind and it's free will
...

Geocentric mind
It is funny how we all form delusions
Finding reasons to believe that we
Are anything but cosmic dust
On the boots of something much
Much much bigger than any one
Any one of us
Finding reasons to believe that we
Are anything but cosmic dust
On the boots of something much
Much much bigger than any one
Any one of us

This Is What It Sounds Like When Doves Cry
This is the face you make, when on vacation, just got finish working out in the bathroom after showering in sneakers because you left your flip flops in your hotel room, then when you dig deep down in your Nike duffel bag.. and pull out the wrong lipstick the store bought brand because my Kylie Jenner favorite lipstick brand is in my Fila duffel bag in New York… ooo...
I am leaning so close to the mirror with a selfie stick trying my best to make this color work for me... And please forgive me…but there are some handsome men on the beach walking, joking before the sun rises...
