Of big broken stones in round circle done
We reached up a more cruel clutter flank;

And there, for the horrible and strong stun
Of rotten stench which the deep...

I’m afraid people talk behind my back and act like I’m the fool
I’m envious of happy-go-lucky couples
I need to feel joy towards them, but how when I’m this single guy, so...

The bipolar monster awakens from his slumber
His right arm reaches out and up and falls back to his side
He reaches out his left arm
Out and up and 
There it stays
Opposite of his right, ever reaching...

To be insane and psychotic that is what I'm being called 
The tendencies that I find myself face; 
To lose my memories, my personality;
To forget myself,

Deathless Aches, Heart's Desires


Thoughts of Heart are as mystical ships that traverse
Ranging amidst the restless ocean ways,
Their crimson prows surging through the sunrise,
Their golden sails adream in evening haze.

Thoughts of broken spirit wander sadly
Unfriendly waters;...

Thoughts palpitate my mind
Now racing with the clock -
Striking the second hour of a new day.
I lie awake beyond the quietness
Only aware of an occasional car
Marking the stillness.
Closing my eyes...

We saw a boy scout seating in front of me
He was very cute and chubby
Wearing his boy scout attire incompletely

He was a kid who looks innocently

Amid, amid, amid, amid,
In the middle,
Between never and everlasting,
A haven for people idle,
A place that never is.
Began and built in imagination,
By ones who avoid
The cheap price of success,
Yet convinced they belong to success.
And they fall...

A glowing sun sets over the breezy coast 
battered by an angered sea,
and amid instilled peace,
percussion entices sadness
with its perfume from the contiguous jessamines
that smell stronger than the clustered cloves;
I neither contest nor seem contented...

Look at my hands. 
Pristine at first glance but look a little longer.

clicking on the television,
wiping that index over the
touch screen,
flipping the proper pc switch
or 
hearing the statistics on the

whilst already bogged down
in the office, while
working on the production line,
while moving...

People are always referencing to

For two reasons:
One, is that I held on too long
Two, is because all but two fingers are gone

Lets look on the bright side, shall we...

Royals of Emotions   

As a confusing annoyance grew inside my head;
A silent torment stormed and throttled as I lay at night a mist my bed.

The old unforgivable and the new unforgettable;
Not noticing what's in front...

Lurking sun behind high trees,
Winking slit at frequent breeze,
Beside was ocean spread long,
Motion hides curious pride prolong
intrepid waves too rush bright,
O'er open moisture shell delight.

As sailor goes somewhere light,
My enthusiastic step dashed slight.
Little congestion were...

Sing, O Goddess, of my petulant wrath.
That which I’ve failed to address for so long.
Speak and guide my hand to express
The words of extremity needed to voice:

Passions of violent nature performed.

Humanity - tormentor of my dreams
I discovered the people diverse the scream

That travels through infinity
For all the thoughts left behind
Are needed for the last extremity

Time is like a winding tunnel
A vibrant flexuous underpass
That is elaborately exceptional
For the mind that’ll grasp...
