What is the reason and where is the line?I’m stumbling backward like I commited a crime.So many voices screaming loud in my ear.To make them go away I might neck nineteen beer.Not a true fix but the sort I can get behind.For it might buy me some time to unwind.Yet I know before long shoutingContinue reading “My War Within”

High Tower
Up in the high tower of this long standing castle.Views are spectacular yet life is a debacle.Imprisonment by her eldest half sibling.Claims he is protecting her from something.Never will he say what the something is.Her doubt flows like rivers down a mountain. Then one day war comes close to her eyes.Seeing it waged she burnedContinue reading “High Tower”
Will I Bleed Today?
Is this state desensitisation?Am I due some cognitive recalibration?No more, no less.Is this real or a sickness?Do not know.Cannot say.Cut me, will I bleed today? Staring at the tv screen.Entire world feels like an endless dream.Nightmare in motion.Demands utter devotion.Life stealing.Always thieving.Confined and imprisoning! Battered bones bleached by wars.What was mine has become all yours.WarpedContinue reading “Will I Bleed Today?”
Change In State
Outrage in me has declined.Sometimes I wish I could rewind.To refuel that fire and have it burning bright.Feel it blaze through day and night.Stoke it higher so it roars.Takes on a new life with giant clawed paws. My disgust has been eroded.At one time it was stocked and loaded.A vast powder keg ready to goContinue reading “Change In State”
Between My Fingers
Spin a blade between my fingers.Head filled with thought that lingers.Am I the demon that people fear?He who turns their minds dark from clear. Punish the reckless and spear the crooks.Smile with bared teeth while holding meat hooks.For so long scum has walked these halls.Time has come to crush their brazen calls. Spin a bladeContinue reading “Between My Fingers”
Seeing Stone
Carved an eye out of stone.Will I ever find my bones?Buried deep in horus’ mystery.Sat alongside tweedle dum and tweedle dee.Who are brothers and partners in crime.Because of them I speak in rhyme.Yet they have never been my muse.More often than that they are why I’d blow a fuse.Feel a sudden need to kill.Swing myContinue reading “Seeing Stone”
Titan
Return of a sparkling moon.These methane oceans could be our tomb.Crushing pressure rising high.In these depths no one could hear a cry. You know its true.You know it to be.Venture to the deep and be trapped for eternity. Spinning ball of hazy orange blue.It was a place that has returned for me and you.Yet itsContinue reading “Titan”
Imperial
Indoctrinated by the relentless propaganda machine.Heard this rhetoric so long its seeping in.Changing hearts and minds so they follow you.Before too long they’ll pledge even their lives too.Sign up for duty in a system that took control.Perhaps so they can say they played a role.But would they align if they recalles the truth.This is anContinue reading “Imperial”
Signet And Wax
Pen to parchment.Layer in the storm.Create mannerism.Make them all conform.These are the rites.Our last call nights.Don’t feed the meek or you’ll be gone. Ink stains new flesh.Bringing in old death.Make innocent confess.Scream for the hills.Wrap across the knuckles.Cut off their chuckles.These are motivations of the sick not norm. Bay for blood in mountains passes.Partake inContinue reading “Signet And Wax”
Waiting For The Next Mourn
Is there a place where I can sit and see…The horizon as the sun climbs oh so freely?An answer to which I did have.Its why I offered the seat by my side.The traveler sat with short introductions.I greeted them well with soft inflections.Then we both stared toward the sky.But I only know of what IContinue reading “Waiting For The Next Mourn”
