You Are a Memory of a Well Learned Lesson
Sitting here all alone 
Getting lost in my head 
Wandering off in the fields of your game  
Soaked by the pouring rain of your lies 
Burned by the pain spreading like a wild fire
Silent tears aflow speeding down to lakes 
I am left stranded...

Flightless Old Birds

I spill ink upon a most sadden page
life of youth was once all the rage
Good times were to readily be had
even a dull day was not all that bad
For each new morn brought renewed hope
nothing, nothing seem beyond our scope

This ink sets in...

Poets' Corner
Young they are ...
Thoughts rushing
Words, now in play.

   Penned preenly between the lines...
   Thoughts set down
   Words, meaning more than they say.

      Spoken dreams not yet uttered...
      Thoughts cascade
...

Jackal and Hyde Pride
Your passionate, unneeded pride...
Is hard to swallow, so I’m waiting for another tomorrow
Going along with the rowdy ride
Still feeling so low…but I must stay high, you know?

I want to glow bright and grow and not feel this hollow…
Break the mirror and fix the shards of...

Let Meee
Let me carry the load from your heart
Your beautiful free spirit is a work of art
Let me be carried away by your blissful satisfaction
We just got to let go and let live and take action 

I won't break down in your arms and I won't...

Premium Member Dinner
Breathing in the decay 
I paused with trepidation 
As a chill crept upon me tonight

Odourous and thick
A suffocating feel of nothingness 
devoid of light

The claws they were jagged 
and bitingly cold 
As they circled around my neck

The slow caress
 as he lifted me high 
to...

Accumulating Anger: My Love Was Serpentine
My love was serpentine to the touch
I can't quite explain it...the love of mine
Had gone away from my sight and such
I can quiz my mind to say otherwise, my bittersweet sugar wine…

Why am I extremely drunk off of utter fear? 
I should have been intoxicated...

Accumulating Anger: the Ugly Beauty
The enemy draws near
I will not shed any tears,
For I'm stronger than fear
My cup is filled with cheers

The ugly beauty inside me will see me through
This shame and calamity that ended up in rue
The ugly beauty inside you is the ire of fiery desire
That inflames...

I Sail Ashore a Silent War
I sail ashore a silent war

Shattered regret all the more
Angst sinks deep down ashore
Isolated like remnants of hatred to the core
Lonesome as a lazy lion in the streets of nothingness

And suddenly…
Sadness sweeps over me solemnly
Hushed sounds of revenge and envy sends vibes of virtuous vanity...

Every Time You Smile
I understand that you’re mad at me
I understand that you’re sad, I see
I didn’t mean to cause you pain
I just want to send you sunshine your way,
But it turned into rain
Every time you smile, I want to make your day

I’m sorry I was shady
I caused...

MEMORIES OF WAR
MEMORIES OF WAR 


In prison we turmoiled 
packed up cards to fall 
whilst they sucked 
genitals like bonbons 
a quartz on a table
gleamed its knowing

War torn ghettos with 
swollen stomachs 
stretched wide, auras 
shattered, splintered 
blood aflow, fainting in vomit 
march and tread, tread and...

Friends
Memories so fondly savored
Sad times forgotten in the race
Closely holding  moments favored
That were once so common place

Whisper thrills swift fingered riffs
Linger ghosting in my mind
Soft  melodic intermingles
Nostalgic stroking intertwined

Sweet bravado overcomes us
Leaning in to touching minds
Words aflow in rushing reason
Like leaves within their...

Waiting
Sad, but too true,
No one waits for me and you,
Lo, but hark!
Washing's there in the dark,
In the morning glow,
Washing suds are soon aflow,
Yes, women of the world,
Washing still waits for every girl!...
