Broken Clock
As I sit here
I can hear a broken clock
Tick..
Tock...
Tick..
Minutes turning into hours
Each one faster than the one before
The constant motion from both its hands,
has started to make me sick.
intrusive thoughts begin to creep
slithering like a serpent
Through my mind
The ticking has stopped as
Death's whispers tauten round' my neck.
The

Crystal Ball
• A shiny crystal ball
• Make sure it does not fall
• If it breaks, the spirits who fell
• Will drag you with them back to hell

Just Walking
Just walk
I tell myself having no destination
in mind for it is better on dark days
not to arrive but to be moving towards
somewhere as like that miraged vision
set out on the horizons of the soul
that seems forever unreachable
but which some inner compass
tells me is the right direction
and will, one day, intersect
with that

Wartime
Walking this path.
Once populous,
Now desolate
Ambushed!
An unspeakable ambush
Now you're travailing
Just inhaling and exhaling
Breathing!
The precious breath of life
Spiritual bombs are colluded
Progression and motion momentarily occluded
Building a fortress amid blasts
Days and nights of praying and long fasts
Big dreams and peace are being viciously attacked
So to the foxhole, you are forced to go
To and Fro
Head on a

C2 Official Oz Omission
Crimson robed closed eyes
in the Holy See
that don’t say
Upper chamber veiled deceit —
A wizard wand wave
in the Sistine Chapel cache cave
Young boys’ virgin olive oil innocence
sacrificed on the sunken altar
of concupiscence
Lust incense burning
the foul odor of debauched decadence
Nothing done before, nothing much done since
Hence

Road To Perdition
Rollin' thru the 'hood
in his signature gangsta lean
Ridin' dirty with a Mag clip,
blowin' out his favorite Tupac scheme
Poetic justice he never liked,
his 9-mil wrote his Caesar Palace demise own
Raised on a rough road ---
Hell was always gonna be his retirement home
He embraced the thug life,
he pushed white powdered dreams
After he took everything you had,
he kicked

Utter Blinding Darkness
This world suffers from original sin
David said in sin my mother conceived me
speaking of us all born into the world
showing the sin bias not to be free
But do we realise how inwardly dark we are?
for there’s no end point to this disease
left to itself it will worsen indefinitely
as temperatures decrease for a big freeze
Mankind

The Reaching Fire Feeds
in the inexorable mist ellipse
the angel sings in the heart
of sinners scratching to fight
the worm's whisper
...gray light illuminates rooms
where rusty pictures stain
the memory of eyes freed
from fermenting woe...
poetry of the heart snaps
fusing mental photographs
(heaven in the spirit to fight)
...demons in the acquiescence
release the numb epicurean cats
paws digging unknown wombs
of the afterlife roaring in
...

The Lost Soul
Oh my lost soul went to fragility.
Searching spark amidst of tyranny.
I was tempted by darkness, there’s no light.
Gone by despair and I could not fight.
World was too deep- there I drowned.
There at the woods where I was not found.
Loved roses with thorns kissing my feet.
Drunk my dread sins, digging a pit.
Thou shall not take light

Tree of Lies
Where do the roots of a tree of lies start,
where do they grow, if but not in the heart?
From what poisonous spring do this wicked tree's roots,
draw the foul water that nourish its fruit?
Does the shade from it's branches cool those who stand near,
or does it's dark hint of evil make them tremble

Constellations
It’s been broken for so long;
Silently churning.
I forgot I was alive,
swimming through rotten joy.
Fatigued and Complacent.
You found me;
a torrid husk enraptured
by a sinning sun.
I spun under that liar’s star,
wishing on it’s peers for a new world.
A new way to breathe.
Hunting throughout eons
lost in-between the reckoning
of seconds; caught up in a disheveled
theater.
I thought they
