I walk these roads alone.No one here to guide me home.Solitary but choice and chance.Sometimes it stings like a lance.Yet never do I change my course.Might have to be done by force.Though do I think it would change me?No, I believe this is who I am always gonna be. Singular.Not pariah.I built this palace.Its myContinue reading “Wanderer”

Unaccepting Of This Knowledge
Have you ever stared into your mortal soul?Cursed with the knowledge it will go.Eager to leave behind something of value.Substance is what we always strive to… Give us meaning.Show us progress.Feed us with that which is permanent.Otherwise we will wither away.Become the embodiment of decay. Will you ever sign your name in blood?Mark yourself inContinue reading “Unaccepting Of This Knowledge”
Jessie
Eyes full of spirit alongside a playful grin.Then there were the glances filled with sin.And when you were younger you tried to round us all up.Would’ve had us run in circles ’til our heads went pop.Yet to know you’re gone brings a sadness wave.Though to the end you were, as ever, brave.Heart of gold andContinue reading “Jessie”
Let Me Drift
Sleep will not come for me.What am I to do about this truly?Close my eyes but don’t drift off.Feel like I’m watching the clock.Tick and tock but I don’t feel drowsy.If it doesn’t change soon I’m gonna feel lousy.Especially if I see the sun rise.As four am is my normal wake time.And with it beingContinue reading “Let Me Drift”
Wake With Weapons
Wake up one day with an axe in my hand.Why, why; can’t comprehend.Makes me think my dreams were reality.God no, did I kill somebody?Brain foggy and memory obscured.Police, open up; can be heard.Leap out of bed with my chest on fire.Panic and fear burn like a funeral pyre. Then in comes the door.Armed but notContinue reading “Wake With Weapons”
Barge Of Poison
Marauders out on the roads again.Bandit clans forever closing.Violent minds with vicious wishes.At best you might survive only needing stitches. Barren souls strung out on years of misery.Falling faster than even societies decree.Poor and rancid are conditions to survive.Only the putrid have any chance to make it out alive. Twisted talking in favour of sicknessContinue reading “Barge Of Poison”
Addiction Affliction
Lie, steal, drink and cheat.Seems you are back to repeat.The same mistakes as you made before.Chances are too few for you to ignore. Thought progress was being made.Instead it looks like you’re starting to fade.Fall back into habits that led you to here.Maybe you should put down the vodka and beer. Consider how close youContinue reading “Addiction Affliction”
Over Appease
Feel the gush of air through your hair.Hear the rush of sound going round. Live for the moment.Do as you please.Enjoy your time.Never try to over appease. Get a whiff of salt on the wind.Taste the bitterness while breathing in. Live for the moment.Do as you please.Enjoy your time.Never try to over appease. Know theContinue reading “Over Appease”
Fiend As Foe
Fire, in the heart of man.For too long we did go bang.Truth, was a lie not told.That is why we only sold.Preach, but did not bow.On the precipice of another row.Thought, can deceive you.Its why we march two by two. Soldiers on the faultline.Out of life and out of time.Fiend as foe just like theyContinue reading “Fiend As Foe”
No Faith In Me
You believe but don’t force it on me.I’m not a follower.Spout your claims and soon I will leave.I have no faith to offer. Shout from the roof.Preach to the sky.Your choice, not mine. Live your life,Don’t pull me in.This is your way,Its not my thing. Belief in power, above is all you.I don’t share it.DoContinue reading “No Faith In Me”
