A bloody mass
of mutilated souls
chaos born from our primal instincts
a ravaged mess
of broken spirits
eternally falling
into the darkness

Premium Member Love Liberates

instincts instigate impulse
draping dream diadems
watering wafting wants
tilling till time teaches
fears freeze freedom
lucid love liberates

We hear a sound and our instincts they yell fire
But there was no sound 
Everything ended 
And I stood numb 
Everything was silent 
I was too

Grungy

In the eyes of evil I can 
only see you,
Clouds in a sky full of 
truth,
Instincts remain and 
need to be freed,
A river of gravel and 
greed that need to be 
seen.

You're a mere player
And the world your expansive field,
And hardly are there
Any golden rules, dude;
Your moves let your instincts drive
And your zeal your mind revive!

please be kind to your instincts,
they distinct what it is from what isn't

if it was not,
it is still a thought.
remind your mind,
to keep on the grind.

Empathy

I am still contented
I gaze at your sun
crack the yolk
you're no so egg white
my instincts demoted
the peaceful ones may stop the war
the one i am indifferent to

therefore to understand

Instincts don't lie

therefore to listen

and listen

and find out

Know that love never employs use of force ~
God allows us to charter our life course

Let’s rid presence of instincts base and coarse ~
Seeds of redemption lie in heart’s remorse
