Born a rebel, die a king.This is how it has always been.For your days are short and your nights are long.You still get it right when you go wrong.With stars in your eyes and dirt on your knee.What lurks out there is not what it should be.Its why so many have turned and fled.Better thatContinue reading “Defender Of Our Realm”

Linked from start until the end.No more do I wish to pretend.Sacrifice money for peace of mind.Cast out and forego relentless grind. For pushing on will not get you through if you are stuggling to be you.All you will earn is pain and decay.Sickness that eats all your joy and makes it grey. Promised aContinue reading “Chain Links”

For once it wasn’t me who walked away.Or should I say drifted as is my play.Never planned its just how it happens.Life moves we the pieces in differing directions.Yet this time it was you who moved from me.Leaving me feeling a little lonely.Not quite the right word but its all I have got.Guess this isContinue reading “Shifting Currents”

Spin the bottle ’til our hands go numb.Long enough we take one more trip round the sun.Maths doesn’t add up I’m sure you’ll agree.For this is madness times’d by three.Salicious predicament stored in a jar.Barricade the universe near and far.With vitriolic tendency bathed in dust.Fractured by how regularly you broke our trust. Parrot back wordsContinue reading “Botheration”

Winds of fire and seas of ash.This realm is mine and that is that.I walk these plains as if worlds might collide.Here I remain even once I have died.For destruction is origin in somebody’s eyes.And in the end I am but a heart box of tries.Inventions that failed yet pointed to future.Tear off my scarsContinue reading “Toiled And Twisted”

Circle of benediction.Here comes great affliction.Pounding on my wooden door.Screaming, we don’t want you anymore!Criticising all I am and have done.Lets see where you stand in this pantheon. Shed skin for disaster.Born again to have no master.Picking bones from teeth.Squandering chance at relief. Cycle of dereliction.Put one more stitch in them.Patter of feet that doContinue reading “Shed Your Masters”

I see your smile when I close my eyes.Can’t believe that you’d tell me lies.Parties over and we’re going home.Pleased I will not be doing it alone. I feel your breathe as I lie in wake.Every move you make holds no mistake.Years have passed but you’re still here.So close to me that I call youContinue reading “First Five Reasons”

Journeying across scorching sand.Searching for a strip of healthy land.For all our hopes rest on discovery.Not being a part of anothers tragic story.Those times have come again and again.We don’t want to be dealing anymore with them.Its why we set out across the dunes.All so we could escape those loons.For safety and security mean theContinue reading “Wander The Sands”

You want something for free.But that won’t be time with me.Pay for goods and services.If you fail then its a derail.Cut communication, drift away.Termination of this transaction today. Time is money, and money talks.If you wanna be a part then show your serious.One wrong move you’ll sound derilious. Stump up the cash or get out.OfContinue reading “Cash Money”

Why do I care when its all a dream?This craving is a fallacy and yet for it I scream.Am I suffering madness or just a broken toy?To these question I have no answers, boy oh boy. Rip out this silly obsession.Cast it to fierce flames.Focus on real and present.Not be hellbent on playing fanciful games.LikeContinue reading “Pure Fiction”
