A hackneyed love,
now I know,
my heart's a treasure,
I say no more.
your eyes on the chequebook
like ice on a cake,
none you give but loads you take,
Dear you made it look grotesque.
act like a fool I did,
to please your evil deeds,
or more like sweating and bleeding,
a prisoner to your biddings.
you could have said at least
that inside you were a beast,
an argument without closed fists
is not a thing on your list.
using torture as a weapon,
to use my heart as a coupon,
because you knew all the loopholes,
to steal my love was your call.
although true love never dies,
this one was killed by your lies,
it's wise to say enough,
a hackneyed love.

sometimes punctured passion's bruised blank:
bounty biddings could trace torn tracks
syllabic silhouettes sighing
dark dribbles - spelled sway of motive
fostered feelings foiling
porous pledges poring fractures
perforated pencil moaning
voluptuous sketches sans vying
masticated mind's tamed template
confetti of canvas cruise crave
gaunt geulgram eerie actions etched
moistened mosaic crumbling down crest
passion ain't plea for addiction:
It's a page you sketch choiced motion.
'20:06:12:10:33
Note: of pored passion.
sane story squashed
worn wanky clashed
wielded wits flung
leering lanky lust
strained sanity snogged
pilfering punctured pawn
voluptuous vie wept
cremating callous crest
bruised biddings belched
pruned passion puked
dark dribbles drooled
clutching crazed clue
wedged wiles wailed
taunting tampered trail.
'20:05:10:12:00
Note: Of tamed tale.
wanky wind wretching
felon fury bruising
bounty blitzkrieg bleaching
blur biddings bleeding
hoisted hankering hibernated
jumpy jazz cremated
dark dribbles drooled
prescribing pulpy clue
punctured healing pruned
kaleidoscopic chaos cupped
gaunt gifts gulped
moaning mist munched
callous complexities clenched
dusty dregs drenched

Note: Of wanky wind.
callous crimson crept
etching crisp crest
hanky' surges sworn
plied pulpy pawn
dark dribbles reincarnated
rusty reels cremated
felon flames moan
cussing cupped clone
bruised biddings thrown
loquacious wind wielded
spanked saucy shredded
hewn syllables welded
tuned taunted tiers
of the fire.

nocturnal nature nimble
taunting tainted treble
felon feelings fumble
airy atmosphere gobble
rustic rhythm birthed
moaning melody tremble
dark dances complement
callous concerto's crest
bounty biddings bent
lanky coda lurches
nature hanker surges
puking punctured confetti
bruised skin blushes
under mystic massages.

flimsy feelings stretched
fetish finger drenched
drips' dances best
mystic melody's crest
lanky lust's lurched
bounty biddings burst
now drips contracted
feeble earth fermented
oozing gores; dehydrated
airy atmosphere blushed
overseeing the crush;
naturals went nuts
wielded waves assemble
ocean's birth dribble.
19:12:15:06:25
~Note~ My myth on how the ocean was created: A drenched finger was pointed to earth, and it dripped till the waters contracted into a spot. The earth puked his,and waves were formed. Then, ocean's birth dribble.
The outburst of a star
Has travelled very far
To show its splendid flame
On high.
In passing, when it came,
Its glow was all the same
As when it longed to die
Astray.
It wilted with a sigh,
Unfearful to defy
The biddings of its day
Or sleep.
There is no better way
To dwindle and decay
Than, like a star, to weep
Away.

He takes a lone journey leaving out everyone
He looks right, left and right again
Searching out for the faces in sight
He sneaks in the shield of darkness
With smacking and drooling lips
And lustful bulging eyes
Mirroring only scrumptiousness
Unable to wrest his mind’s biddings
He muffles his mumbling conscience
And swoops and heists to the coffers
Scooping the sweats of another’s brow
Smiling derisively with a shaming glow
Today he leaves his heart to rehearse the schemes
Seeing already the bounty bought by the trip
He traces his route to his routine ride
And seeks out to cover the tracts
But the unforeseen scene he ditched, sets in
His hands is trapped in the cookie jar
Everyone is drawn in to the hidden story
Beware the Jabberwocky my dear…
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
He hunts the innocently late White Rabbit.
And now the Jabberwocky’s searching for little Alice…
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
He craves fresh flesh and lusts for steaming blood.
And now the Jabberwocky’s searching for little Alice…
Will there be a champion to fight him?
He craves fresh flesh and lusts for steaming blood.
The Jabberwocky came through the tulgey wood
Will there be a champion to fight him?
All those in his path have died.
The Jabberwocky came through the tulgey wood
His actions, the Red Queen’s biddings..
All those in his path have died…
Beware the Jabberwocky, my dear...
Deep within the pits of this fiery hell
Upon my throne I sit
Making mockery of those below
The pathetic fools trapped to a life of servitude
Confined to this blasted pit
I can still torment those on earth
Fire! Fire!
Rise O’ up!
Fire! Fire!
Do my biddings
Fire! Fire!
Light the way to the tunnel of death
Bring me my mortal souls
And the sorry bastards that follow thee
Fire! Oh thou Fire listen to me
I command ye to light yourself
Burn bright to your hearts desire
Fire! Fire!
