Damaged Goods

Excuse me please can I return this heart,
The one you sold me was torn apart,
I have a receipt folded so neat,
Have you one in stock that doesn't beat,
Sorry love I've changed my mind,
Keep that heart it was never mine.

A Day

I floated through the park today,my duck and me fed bread to the bees and the pollon made us sneeze.
We quacked and laughed into a summers breeze and the buzz we had brought us to our knees.

Her Old Habits

Marble teeth with transparent grief,wearing her down that coat of brown,it keeps her warm from time to time,it's all she knows this girl of mine,it fits her well and holds her tight,perfect stitching with the needle in sight.

The Oscars

A star is born while a soul is torn on the Hollywood walk of fame,
With dreams that matter or a life that's shattered in slabs of pavement pain,
For some it's to much and others never enough were falling stars are drained,
Ferocious appetites will consume for a life that may ruin them on the Hollywood walk of fame.

Quitters Never Fail

Falling short is never present,
And giving up can be so pleasant.

A Timely Dig

The worst has yet to come,digging up fossilised feelings of mammoth proportion which way a ton,years of emotion wraped in lares of flesh an dirt,exhumed over a billion century's of prehistoric pain and hurt.

Organic Split

You're profession is my depression,
A constant reminder of an emotional grinder,
A year of sleep is all I need,
Inducing coma of you're planted seeds,
The weeds can grow,not that I'll know,
Water my pain I'm feeding slow,
I'm moving now towards the sun,
Never to return you weren't the one.

War

Only to open a page
Chapters on holy wars and rage 

Blood flows as black as the ink
Soaking up humanity as evolving looses its link

God is oil
The currency is blood 

To call them animals would be to insult an animal 

There only claim 
Is to be in humane 

We are worse 
God we are in reverse 

Killing and dieing for a heavenly seat
While a motionless child lies dead on the street

Wasting Paper

Sometimes I wish I was someone else 
No one out there has my back 
Most of the time I don't really care 
Pondering were I go from here 
Stick to what I know till it's over 
A final push to the last stand 
It's painfully simple but no one can see
What the present has in store for me.

Honest Anger

Simmer down and relax a little,engage that frown don't be so brittle,people say I'm worth a bit more,out of ten I'd give me a four,don't be cryptic or complicated,I'll have it pure and stipulated,get me high while hope is low,embrace my depth from a cloud to my toe.
