“Dragons don’t live up to the talk. 
I’ll find a way to fix the wagon”,
Opined the jealous Jabberwock,

Pausing to munch a trembling snack
As his...

wake up crying
countless times before
this time stands out
because now i know why ive been doing it
the shocking truth
of my subconcious mind
angry minds
voicing their frustration
my narcisistic mind takes it personal
all day long
it adds up
it adds up

Dark matter seems to be
What isn’t there to be seen
In between
What we see.

They dub it dark since you cannot detect it
Nor can they inspect it
With telescopy.

It cannot be denied
For equations...

"Time"

People often rat pack
Quick to have the last laugh
It's a sad fact
That we never could get past that

Mom, see this is my prize, the Golden
trophy; timing record I've broken
while reaching first in the sports event

Smilingly, with tears...

I fought in the Revolutionary war
To win freedom from tyranny 
I fought for the right to choose my religion 
For the right to live free!

They move in packs
A bunch of gnats and rats
Too much crap and cap
All across the map
It's happened to Jill and to Jack
Endlessly people yap and chat
Obsessed with apps and fraps
There is dangers all around be...

I was 15 when I first looked up to the heavens.
My mind was in a dazed as I looked up into the sky.

Emotions are the ropes that hand from tree branches
Blowing in the breeze like Spanish Moss
And from these emotions love is knotted
Love	
A nose that suffocates us
While ill feet dangle with gravity toe distends in reach
Yet it...

BETSY MEEK AND MILD

There was a cow called Betsy
She was gentle meek and mild.
A pretty coloured Jersey one,
Milked daily by a young child.

Betsy loved to feel the touch
Of the child's warm soft fingers,
Sending her into...

I've seen my brother
walking the four corners of the Earth.
In search for something new, or possibly
Someone new.

I've seen the desperate men,
With their heads full with hair,
and dressed in fancy and expensive suits,
bark like dogs when...

Who toils night and day
Ne’er knowing that disasters can fall 
On those who have no worldly ax to grind 

Cries can be heard throughout history
Not by those who...

Orgasmic flow, my pen strokes the page and manages to touch the spot
Any pain or nightmares that come my way, I'll brush them off

Defined by struggle.
I've learned to endure.
To persevere.
I've been battered. broken. torn.
But i'm not afraid of what's in store.
Not anymore.

May Hathor cause you great pain?
And shame from this day forward
Until the Pyramids turn to...

The Last Laugh

Gone are the days that Adam and Eve
were living with peace from within, 
a garden so fresh and perfect
till that ugly old thing called sin, it moved in.

It came slithering into the garden
