Beat about the bush no more, oh hermit!
Listen to the voice of silence within.
Ignition in renewal, pulse perfect!
Simply go in! Rest imagination.
Shed off oh hermit, all inhibition!
Thirst for God connect, is all that it takes.
Handle all ego urges, which calm shake.
Rely always on divine assistance.
Opt for love alone and ego forsake.
Be free and joyous in divine parlance.

...i don't think mines attac --hed
pirate eye patch black
never a friend to Epstein
Yeah Andy we believe you
ready for the knot
Trump take your baw and Go
You've been out bidden
Russia get a grip
i've met your party animals
with poisoned brolly tips
just like the Scottish
cold and doesn't give a
Is the present tense of
I was in Isis
I is in Isis
Can you hear the hiss
Devil and God here's a digit each
Seriously America put him on the other side of his wall
Well done humanity
A world that cares about F**k all
Trust is supposed to be mutual but I know that was not the case.
As he fingers slid over messages hed assumed I would erase.
I dont understand what the big deal was i didnt do anything wrong..
Yet he cradled me after hurting me.
Assuring me i was safe within his arms.
I have nothing to hide.
I have always been loyal to him without flaw.
Yet i know his disapproval just by the look i saw.
I dont ever leave my room.
I dont ever talk to anyone without consent.
I do what I'm supposed to
Best believe I'm heaven sent.
I go to school alone and come out to him waiting.
If i didn't run to him he'd accuse me of hesitating.
Truth leaps past my tongue like it was born to be spoken.
But looking down i know he's mad just by the tone he's spoken.
He smashed the stereo so I couldn't listen to our song.
Then blamed me for his outburst like it was my fault all along.
He questions my intentions as if I've ever given him reason.
The type of man to stab me in my sleep then ask me why im bleeding.
He assures me that he trusts me but I know that's a lie.
So here I am again.
Penning heartaches lullaby.

just to feel the power
Took the ear of a year

Tried immortality
just wasn't for me
Time within my (shaped) hand

there once was a lad with a giant toe
was three foot tall who they all called big joe
he would always scream and shout
and hop and jump all about
for he banged that toe wherever hed go

constraint
held back by once the only ally
twas a toxic relationship
Covered in dust
he strolled into my life
not knowing hed be the one
to change my ways of everything
and to help me have won
I won the internal battle
while my former ally
slowly turned to foe
when she was the only person
i was supposed to know
I was trapped
not knowing
there was such a thing of light
when he opened the curtains
I tried to fight
I denied it
tried to go back
which I soon realized
was not okay
In his arms I flourished
while we watched her die and drift away
it was what I needed
like a breath of fresh air
then he left me
how unfair
better myself
was what i continued to do
never again i told myself
but he was the reason I grew.
Contradiction
held back by what was once the only thoughts
twas a toxic mindset
Escaping was a must.
When you love someone who does not love you back
You pretended to love me but you did not
You should have told me before but you did not
If it wasn't for my friend i would have been dead by your lies
How dare you hurt my feelings
when you told me that you love me i believed
But it turned out to be a lie
When i met you i thought that i hed the whole wide world in my hands
But then i turned to a lie also
When people say actions speak louder than words i did not believe them
But now i know it happens
When someone shows you who they really are believe them
I just wish you were not a player you are a good guy but not a lover
One day i will find someone i love and who will love me back
Was this some kind of a game
Where by u tell a girl that you love her and then you date them for five days
And it turns out to be a joke
For the first time in my life you were the first one to date me
And break my heart
But the thing is that no matter how hard the sittuation is i will always have a smile on my face
I hate that i loved you and believed you when you said i am your one and only you lied
No matter what i will always love you
PS I LOVE YOU
here be en emimy of tombstone jack

now ole jack he done hisself a goodin
he done left the bar maid a cryin en wooin
worrin hed be alayin here a bullit ta his head
pushin up dayzes instead of winin a trade in lead

the spelling, grammatical errors, and the dialect are done

their own name.
The mess you made, was
apocalyptic.
How the debris streaks
like a fireball.
The blood becomes
a sheer truth.
Moist, sticky on
your hands.
Up in your sleeves
the past hed planted
many wrecks,
You will not be able to retrieve.
The burnt-out roses
emit a beautiful odour.
The phoenix rises again
from the colored ash.

I lived in a world where i only watched
Where clouds rise like kings'where sunsets bow like jesters before them
And the moon watches hed been offered kingship once but he declined
For power is not worth a monsoon
I watched this world where the grass was meaningful where ants were always in Misery because the ground always trembles
Where everything found an answer , why.
Now i see its not always this way
Now i watch as the skies turn grey and midnight black swallows everything
im so affraid to loose him he means so much to me if he were to leave im not sure id know who to be he has bceome a part of me and i love him so very much but he seams to not be able to handel haveing a relationship with someone he cant see or touch. theirs more than just the physical stuff when it comes to a relationship and i know it gets hard hes not going through this alone, i just wish hed realize that so we could just move forward but, instead he gets mad and sulks cuz nobody knows how he feels we gues what i do! i miss you like crazy i want nothing more then to hold you and kiss you and cuddle up but im working so hard for us not just me i dont understand how thats a bad thing didnt we both agree we want to be more than our parents want a better life for our family i just hope he truely thinks about what he does before he realy does it he knows he will be just as misriable as me if he does decide to leave ill never let him know how it will kill me slow hes become a part of me not just my lover but my best friend as well....hes been there for me through everything hes been my rock... how will i ever be able to say goodbye to him my bestfriend?
of all the people whose paths crossed mine
theres one ill not forget
he always swore hed forever be single
until the day his true love he met
the change it was dramatic
no longer parties and late nights
he gave up most of his close friends
to his true loves great delight
he no longer thought for himself
he was blinded by loves snare
dark was what was developing
black was the color of her hair
some tried to advise him
that all may not be what it seems
but he dismissed them all with malice
who dare besmirch this girl of his dreams
i heard it on the grapevine
where all bad news gets broadcast
he came home from work one day early
what he seen hit him like a shotgun blast
his true love was wrapped in another
in his bed in his place
what really broke this man apart
was the smile she wore on her face
the rest was like a trainwreck
he deterioated so fast
he never washed he barely spoke
his true love now a painful past
his face was now barely disguising
the hurt and anguish he carried inside
newspapers called it an accident
but we all knew it was suicide
todays the day the awful day
they come to take my home away
head cases with suit cases
never a rush
but still races
is this the end how did it come to this
first my health then my job then wife
these very walls supported me my whole dam life
built by my father with his very own hands
now the baliff is taking my family lands
just one more month i had said
just last week on the phone
but the bank said no
we just want your home
well i thouht ahead plotted carefully my next home
at least in my new home ill be left in peace and alone
not much family left here so i wont be much missed
just say goodluck to the neighbours
then one last time ill get pissed
they came on time with piece of paper in hand
knock knock on the door 'sir its time to leave your land'
no response from within perhaps hes already left
baliff enters open door to give house a check
hed left alright done it his own way in his own place
his lifeless body swung gently , hint of a smile on his face
