For shining so bright, you burn out and die;
for soaring too close to the sun, you fall
to the hard earth below and crash: “Too high,”
judge the gods; so, as lesson to us all,
you're chastened for your lofty, prideful flight.
Like Icarus, I test life's great divide
between deity and men: visionary sight,
God-giv'n, and penetrating—eagle-eyed!
What seems like pride is for history to laud:
so, as Jesus the man was, so am I.
Only a God humbles another god;
that's destiny no man can e'er defy.
Though the world crucifies, God testifies
with fulsome laughter that I, His child, rise!

I dine with the blind,
See this divine,
Oh dear mankind,
Drink chalice wine.
You all go blind,
Say everything is fine,
Let the fine dine,
Reaching out for lies.
The supper of flies,
Soon be crucifies,
Man becomes sinner,
Mouth of blisters.
Death to the light,
Self smite, death write,
Flesh like bites,
Fade out of the lights.

Cancer the death trap
It increases and teases
The patient requires spoon feeding
The body cries and soul dies
OH Jesus, it crucifies.

"Love Crucifies"
I have you pinned
butterfly
all your colours
spreading
naked underneath
submission whispers
submission speaks
hands encircle
your wrists
arms open
outstretched
beckoning
beseeching
my heart
on your
drum beating
chest
Love Crucifies
Love Liberates
We transfer souls
We kiss
Love Liberates
Love Crucifies
une petite mort à tout prix
Just like this
Love Crucifies
Love Liberates
We transfer souls
create
Light
une petite mort à tout prix
Just like this

This wallpaper is dying
never having seen the sun
light crucifies all dark
This life has stained my ears
stolen my sight from seeing
I am a house without a heart
Beyond all sins
Dark red rivers I swim
for sanity is knocking at my door
From these pores, I seek
A truth that now has spoken
Etched in the gallop of stolen time
In the garden of discontent
The lilies have withered
stigma of scent
Falls upon me
You are a book of skin
You are a book of history
Sometimes I thought I could read you
When I skipped a page etched too deeply
In the echo of your memory
I spoke , once too often
I spoke, once too late
My vagabond dream still floats
And only to you...
Now crush me kindly
Vandalize my aching spirit
I am a book of skin
I am a book of history
Now read me not
No more...

Love wears a face
So full of grace
Look to the soul
That knows one whole
Pain brings sure gain
In touch made plain
Come to know truth
As tact seeds proof
Go on your way
Live well each play
See that you see
The way to be
Live well the call
That comes to all
Be sure of quest
In wind-blown fest
Floral blood drops
Moves urge non-stop.
Love sets bar high
Hate crucifies

How dim and doomed my mind is
When I try to explain my disorder to own self and others,
Just as much as I hope to tighten up the loose balls
And invite the dead into my home, I can’t.
I can’t do anything much except what I can’t explain to you.
It tells me aggressively like I’ve been deaf since I ever gave in to thinking, to the world
“Stay away from me!” it says, “leave me lonely in my soul for my want,
Incline your poisonous superficies to eliminate me, this is who I am!”
Can’t you tell? My caring and love crucifies me with no patience,
It reminds the crying kid sat underneath the brain protector how anxiety forgets she lives,
Sat there lonely with scars, bleeding eyes and forgets life
How this has become the daily course of the grand part…
I can’t explain to you how I feel nor to me,
My undying memories behold the theme of my confused situation
And all I know is I will be fine trying to be okay.

I heard my own voice crawling on the walls
Scratching the mirrors of my soul
When you’re helpless
When help itself cannot help you
I saw my anger dressed in black
I asked it to stay calm and turn away
When help itself couldn’t help me
I looked into the windows of my soul
There I lay with nothing but a voice
A voice that could set me free
Free from the suffering
Emotional pain that crucifies the heart
When you have to sacrifice your heart
For a coin, or the chance to live
I lay down thinking about my sorrows
I lay down thinking about evolution
I lay down thinking about religion
I lay down thinking about destiny
I lay down thinking about life
I lay down thinking about nothing
Because even these thoughts can’t help me

Nobody wants to be lonely, hurt, burned, pushed,
No, It breaks you, crushes your soul
It takes the life force, right from your breathe,
Crushes your spirit,
Hunts you down, crucifies your soul,
Rips the feeling right from your veins,
My soul entirely left alone, Abandoned to the cursing screeching windmill of crushed dreams,
The harder you fall, the deeper the ruin, the more scars get embedded inside,
I dont wanna see the fiends lurking underneath my cracked feet,
Hoping that the light in the distance is salvation,
But nothing can hold a promise to these MAYBES my emotions keep exude,
Maybe tommorw Itll be over, Maybe tommorow itll be OK,
Maybe, Maybe,...
Its bound to break, my mind keeps trying to fight the truth,
But the ghostly sound of fear, emanating from deep within,
Extinguished the little light I had left,
And my conscience lost.
I got thrown into a darkened room, the heartless fiends I feared the most,
came galloping towards me,
Every demon tatooed by my fears,
Their loud banging echoing inside my head,
Its not safe, Its not safe, Im not safe.
I. AM. NOT. SAFE.

Dubem, without a doubt in me
Understanding the feminine
Because - there's no other me
Emotions, climbs-heart on nine
Must those dreams kill you?.
Ojukwu, you can feel desires
Juxtapose, oh! Our dear hearts
Unmixed feelings or ires
Kwanzas for you,from my arts
Would love to catch your crazies
Uptights within, crucifies frenzies.

I win you over before you know what’s happened.
Swallowing crucifies,
No one has flown this high.
I’m borrowing your own happiness.
Joy is oxygen, really.
Crown yourself the Queen of Peace.
This world is an oyster to be shucked.

The bells call forth from mighty tower keeps
To herald passing souls from here to there
The orange sun upon the hilltop creeps
It crucifies night's cold and blind despair
And light of day itself may also bluff
The flower blooms and will too soon dissolve
There is no virtue virtuous enough
To ban the steady tide of death's resolve
If permanence is just a fleeting dream,
Why burden every man and child fair?
To ask is chasing shadows down a stream
Fall not into the well of when or where
These words are written clear for all to see:
What I am now you too shall one day be
