Magnum Opus
Cantankerous cancers found my blood letting from the slit, Is it avarice of me to desire the love begetting of Lazarus? Enjoying life cadaverous like forgetting the want to live, Is it glamorous for me to die while God desires I live? Forgo the solid ground, My feet dangled off the edge of a jagged cliff....

Magnum Opus

My mind is empty Like a long corridor With a light flickering On and off The paint is peeling And chunks fall from the ceiling A pen rolls across the floor Useless and without ink So I pick it up And stab myself Letting blood fill the pen So I can write a final verse Over the falling walls For even in victory I found a way to lose A...

Oh how you search for truths floating up in the air, Producing...
