Sun sets on this realm I once called my throne.This transition period sees me walk this path alone.Devoid of possessions but what is on my back.At last I am free of the rope that permitted no slack.Walking free amongst the wilderness of the world.Finally perhaps these memories can be unfurled.No longer crushing me beneath theirContinue reading “Changing Tides”

Undercover
You’re pretty to the eyes.Pity you’re rotten and dark on the inside.Twisted sense that every one should serve you.Destroying hope as if you deserve to.With a smile hiding a liars tongue.Look appealing as you prepare to sink a knife in. Conscience to the fore.Beneath the surface you’re filled with war.Calling truth a lie to getContinue reading “Undercover”
Service Betrayed
Returning home from a distant shore.Everything once owned is no more.Feeling broken, depressed and seething.Sleeping rough all while grieving. Only possessions are about my person.These discharge papers mean nothing.Starving I beg for scraps on a corner.No one realises I fought for their future. Flashes of violence keep me awake.PTSD is what they call this state.ButContinue reading “Service Betrayed”
On Black Wings
Murdered in a brutal sweep and clear.If only they’d known I’d be back in a year.From a crow tap tap tapping upon my grave.To enact vengeance for their violent ways. Painted like a dark angel of death.Fear will fill their final moments.No redemption arc just to be crystal clear.This is an eye for an eyeContinue reading “On Black Wings”
Collision Of Lines
Knock at the door,I welcome you in.This dark freezing night is one nobody should be facing. Warm yourself by the fire.Stoked like a funeral pyre.You’re blue in the face so stay as long as you need. I sit to rest weary bones.We chat as you thaw.Your once grey face returning to its natural tones. WithContinue reading “Collision Of Lines”
Nu Gen
Take the parts and melt them down.Old generations only wear a frown.Looking down on what is to come next.Judgement rendered before they can walk.Branding ready and waiting to be impressed.Changing views has been convicted. Nu gen.Replacement for everything.Singled out from the crowd.No more comment or content. That which has been doesn’t have to come again.FreshContinue reading “Nu Gen”
At Your Back
Scrape across the window pane.Haunting sounds come to strike again.Feeling terror rise from somewhere too close by.Tendrils appearing to dance on the surface of your mind. Gripped by a death stare.Can’t escape what is not there.Paralysed while lying still.Down to the depths you will take this. Knock upon this fragile shell.Desecration rings like a tollingContinue reading “At Your Back”
Drinking It In
Sat alone in a darkened room.Music blaring to take me to my happy place.There is no knocking me out of this.Smile on my face as the drums pound away.Bass twins with it so effortlessly.Chugging guitar rips at the fore.With vocals harsh and perfectly raw. Reading in the starkest light.Journeying into worlds that are not myContinue reading “Drinking It In”
From Apprentice To Disciple
Close your eyes and feel the flow.Angers rising along with your need to go.Little twitches betray your intentions.I grin knowing what sits in your hand.Serrated blade you want to plunge in deep.Your breathing suggests you are too weak.Still I prepare for what will follow.Ready to accept that you can’t compete.When you strike its perfectly swift.TargetContinue reading “From Apprentice To Disciple”
New Casualty
You think you’ve seen my grief.How about I instill in you a new belief?One removed from your treachery.Sickened by your depravity.Always hunting for innocence to burn.What you cannot corrupt you obsessively spurn. Jokes on you I won’t shatter.Prepared to fight you like a man possessed.Step one foot in this circle and you’ll be laid outContinue reading “New Casualty”
