A jungle of circumstance…
preying on the silence

Each verse a whip to crack the dark

Your tenebrous soul, masquerading as love, haunts these comments all.

Oh, Lord save my soul, that my eyes, on your words, do not befall!

'delusion In a Dark Alley'
In a dark alley; eating peaches, pears and plums
Awful friendly with hysteria
You should hear his jokes and his stereo
A self-induced recluse whom on a weary whim
Decided it was best he read the clues again...

Whispers in the Soil
Moonlight weeps on rusted stone,
Where once I danced, I crawl alone.
Roots with hands now draw me near,
Feeding on my deepest fear.

My shadow speaks in shattered rhyme.
A ghost who bleeds through endless time.

Pain of parting






As parting slivers my heart
and leaves my soul bleeding,
Memories of togetherness
turn into thorns of prickly longing.

Action and Reaction
Darkness sits in his mind,
The night is cloaked in his chamber,
Tempest rages in his closet,
He searches for a way through,
He fights and stifles,
They push back and trouble sore,
It's an unending fight,
He anticipates an end.

Might Exist
3/19/15

I admit
Something might exist
Maybe in some type of rift
Where no light has hit
Despite the type of risk
Could there be righteousness?
Or would it lead to a crisis swift?
Is there lifelessness
Inside this mist
Or a place with the nicest gifts
And wisest wits...

Matters To Me
The way your gentle hands create beautiful pictures
The way your brain creates dark poetry
The way you get excited about the simple things
It all matters to me

The way you laugh at my stupid humor
The way you make sure I'm not forgotten
The way you open up to me and I open up to you
It all matters to me...

Premium Member Twisted Lies
Liars of the twisted tongue,
thine mouths are like guiled fire
from the flesh of darkness, you were born
from the darkness, you sleep and reign
you tempt man in may ways and trials
vermin spewing flesh eating bile of the mind
take back you idealistic ramblings of temptations
effective immediately DELETED!
