Euphemism

and rubbing out the frown.

The bad stuff has by now occurred,
but let’s not raise the tension:

And the people are forced to obey under rule
So the contract ...

For Every Sheep in the Flock

...Grant me sunrise, cruel warden
Would you deny me that which makes us human?
What violent hatred grips your heart
To demean and dehumanize so freely and purely

How is it that you dream, violent ...

I’m Never Right

...


             Oh, I ask, is it my appearance or rather to say my looks,
              Or is it my stature that has gone according to the book.

That's Not Safe

...Amongst spruce oblivious of the way,
As I admire the wonder all abound.
Birds fly above dancing their own ballet
All spruce trees spread their fragrance all around.

Perhaps I should pick up a hammer

...Insidious is internalized inception
What's real with all these questions?
Feels like I missed my alarm and slept in
Broken legs but I still chase affection 
These walls are my blank expression

lunar vestige

...
if I could I would take a magic wand
to the moon from far beyond
the wildest of dreams in my mind

a constant reminder of immortal
passion and endearment to cast a magical spell

Burden became my life

...Hither all her desires, thither my fires,
Balancing both, burden became my life.

Seeing the waves of
rocket fuel

The Book of Beelzebub

...Forever, I lurk within shadowy wings
Betraying my friends for the silver it brings
Once I was the shepherd, 'n' leading the flock

*"A weight that grows roots in the marrow,
where light, though called, will not tread.
