My sad, deplorable glory is a nightmare for another
This knowing is sickening to the bone
The need for anothers' pain is like a virus
Slitting the veins of truth and delirious want of false
Watching the bile flow...

Many eyes of different color
see images and give them meaning;
reality is the clearest perception,
which brings on its sweetness,
and often an unacceptable bitterness:
I have given these reflective eyes
a choice and a challenge:  to either
accept or...

Spare the noose - let one live!

Just moments and life's gone,
for the lives one hack
and for it never to come back!
Isn't justice flawed with 'glee' to adorn?

The noose has a strong say
and so do the...

In chaotic crowd of this world,absurdly living without you,
If you really cared, then where are you?
I've asked a million times-not just once or few-

Where's the man I admired and love?
The one so wise, like a...

The virtue was being wronged, depicted his woeful tale of prey and innocence. 
Gradually people gathered to listen to the poignant rhetoric. 
blown away by the felon's aching, awful narration;
pitied the miserable plight, lamented the...

The rays of nature, flowing into the human spirit
landing in its softest spot and sweeping through its lattice
everything then changes with the being becoming a wondrous and happy fool
as romance marries the heart to become...

Darkness obscured your danger sign, imperceptible but not benign.
My dreams flowed into a high electric field, our minds taped and concealed--
Your heart was radioactive; all my emotions were refractive.
I sacrificed full support before the strings...

She delights in blame.
Pointing fingers without shame.
But totally absent
Of any personal talent.

Her words are alike daggers.
Cutting deep into the heart.
She thinks she's clever.
But in reality, she's just playing a part.

The blame game is her favorite.
Always...

It was crazy how you spoke to me
As if you knew that you were close to me
Closed my eyes shut so I can see
Just what that noise is exactly telling me.
It was all new to...

If this increasing darkness conveys a fear not chided,
as ghostly shadows conspicuously confer mystery:
do I hide or firmly resist being threatened
by their miserable aspect of susceptibility?

Anxiety builds fret inside first slowly, then rapidly?
I squeeze and...

Good and Evil

The wicked reek of the devil,
“People are naturally good, not evil.”
In their world, God is dead
And Jesus’s death, irrelevant.

Beyond the deception of oratory
That invokes susceptibility;
Historical evidence evokes rout.
Man is incorrigible without doubt.

I walk 
On a thin metallic needle
Behind a plastic seal

Beginnings are usually deceptive
Wider bases cleverly deceive
Towards fine tapering ends, 
They lead?
Mislead.

Exploiting my needs
Hopeful susceptibility

The love for light
A little respite
Also cheats
Consoling myself
A dark patch maybe
I cement...

I have found that civility
Can diffuse most animosity
When applied with honesty,
And a heart in the correct vicinity

In our fast paced “modern” society
We are subject to a never ending drudgery 
Which has increased our susceptibility
To that...
