MY ENTITY IS THE WOLF
LET ME KNOW HOW DO YOU KNOW THYSELF, IF YOU REALLY TRULY KNOW THYSELF. 🤔 FOR do you know that we each have an, ability to manifest our own personal thoughts, 🧠 in mind and in our heart. ❤️ For I say that because of what I had to go through. 🤨 When I was told that I have different cancers stages, traveling through my mind and heart and soul and body. For now I'm going through the process of chemotherapy, for the treatment of elimination of this disease. THAT can affect each of us, in so many ways of life. 🙏 How many of us ever had a sacred...

... Table for One - Rebirth and Redux
I went into the restaurant
Requested a booth for one
I'll be here for awhile I said
Flipped the owner a $20
He set me up with a great table
My afternoon began with this write
Even in good company
The best days are a float
Weaving in and out of people traffic
I need dialog and can be open
Yet writing verse is my voice
Somber and reflective at twilight
Quiet and ominous at dusk
Keep the chemicals away from me
I've danced and twisted fate
Piecing myself back together again
Going it alone ...
Requested a booth for one
I'll be here for awhile I said
Flipped the owner a $20
He set me up with a great table
My afternoon began with this write
Even in good company
The best days are a float
Weaving in and out of people traffic
I need dialog and can be open
Yet writing verse is my voice
Somber and reflective at twilight
Quiet and ominous at dusk
Keep the chemicals away from me
I've danced and twisted fate
Piecing myself back together again
Going it alone ...

Menstrocity (collab with Vision_of_insanity)
hunting for the menstrual juice, this unholy juice, it's calling you
virginal whores in the purest form,
blood flowing freely like never before,
your crimson curse is what I thirst,
invasion of your hymen, devirginizing
I don't discriminate, your age, race, cunt blood's the same
fixation on coagulation, infatuation with menstruation
compelled to the stench of vaginal blood,
compelled to the taste of vaginal blood
There is no truce, this holy noose.
Feeling pain forever, throwing up the deuce.
On a grind to catch my mind,
I'm...
virginal whores in the purest form,

Late November
In late November the freezing cold rain remembers
To wash away the dirt and erode the past
So when the fractures in the pavement are watered
They can still grow weeds and flowers
And there, in between imagination and dream
The harshness of reality finally sets in
That amidst the ugly truths and pretty fantasies
I am reminded
I am broken, mended and healing
To wash away the dirt and erode the past
So when the fractures in the pavement are watered
They can still grow weeds and flowers
And there, in between imagination and dream
The harshness of reality finally sets in
That amidst the ugly truths and pretty fantasies
I am reminded
I am broken, mended and healing

The Cycling Self
There is an
emptiness
that never
seems to…
empty…
itself
No matter
the groups
or therapies
encountered
to relieve
A pain
Always present
in some niggling
manner I loathe
because
I thought
I conquered it
Finding peace
in nature
and gratitude
amongst loved ones
can ease
the burden
of this…
Cross
BUT
It’s ever present
and always
carried
on my
Left
shoulder
...

Abinger Hammer
My heart belongs in Abinger Hammer -
You know, that cute little sleepy village,
That sits deep in the heart of the Surrey Hills -
The so-called stockbroker belt!
Living somewhere like Abinger,
Means you've made it somehow!
Pronounced Ab-BIN-JER, not Ab-BING-er,
I once thought, as an awkward 16 year old,
Spotty slow learning backwardly mobile
wiry haired retard!
You can tell I didn't like myself much then,
Can't you?
But I hate getting things wrong -
Possibly a symptom of my progressing OCD!
However,...

A Hold on Me
something’s
gripping tight
the air
suffocates
walls lean in
like whispers
and the devil's
knuckles knock
who is it inside
I’m fading away
lost in the echo
of my own voice
gripping tight
the air
suffocates
walls lean in
like whispers
and the devil's
knuckles knock
who is it inside
I’m fading away
lost in the echo
of my own voice

Really You Are Nothing
Fill another grave with what still flails.
Forced hands finding dirt under the nails.
Soflty sob to help drown out the wails.
Found dead after the execution fails.
Giving what need only go to waste.
Attribution seemingly missplaced.
Meaning again defined as erased.
Departed live on hauntingly unfaced.
This worlds insanitys not up to measure.
Misguided by pursuit of empty treasure.
As I knowingly lie to myself at leisure.
Self destructing to elicit pleasure.
Normals feeling miserable alone.
Pick down to my now...
Forced hands finding dirt under the nails.
Soflty sob to help drown out the wails.
Found dead after the execution fails.
Giving what need only go to waste.
Attribution seemingly missplaced.
Meaning again defined as erased.
Departed live on hauntingly unfaced.
This worlds insanitys not up to measure.
Misguided by pursuit of empty treasure.
As I knowingly lie to myself at leisure.
Self destructing to elicit pleasure.
Normals feeling miserable alone.
Pick down to my now...

A Hand From Above
A gentle wind graces my brow.
From whence it came, my gate, steadily.
As if to guide, the atmosphere brightens.
Facing ahead, glowing radiance.
Warm embrace caresses softly.
Unfurling below, flourishing landscape.
Under the sun, the valley's folds.
Sounds are silent.
Heavenly direction.
I close my eyes.
Dimensions unify into one.
Peace is heard, heightening.
Mountainous peak.
Open as day, I see.
Perfect rhyme and time, always there.
Distant horizon behind.
Plane where silhouettes...
From whence it came, my gate, steadily.
As if to guide, the atmosphere brightens.
Facing ahead, glowing radiance.
Warm embrace caresses softly.
Unfurling below, flourishing landscape.
Under the sun, the valley's folds.
Sounds are silent.
Heavenly direction.
I close my eyes.
Dimensions unify into one.
Peace is heard, heightening.
Mountainous peak.
Open as day, I see.
Perfect rhyme and time, always there.
Distant horizon behind.
Plane where silhouettes...

On Life Journey I Keep Trying
Along with my ego side by side walking
Not ego driven on life journey I keep trying
Carried away by its powers soul losing
A risk of the infection of perfection attaining
A beauty in disguise my self I keep reminding
A challenging inner struggle worth leading
Delving into ego complexities soul transforming
In rivers of inner harmony how I long bathing
Not ego driven on life journey I keep trying
Carried away by its powers soul losing
A risk of the infection of perfection attaining
A beauty in disguise my self I keep reminding
A challenging inner struggle worth leading
Delving into ego complexities soul transforming
In rivers of inner harmony how I long bathing
