Turned To Blue

I thought it was overHow wrong could I be?Counted to three then walked awayShould have known it wasn’t so easy Petrified ’til I turned blueWhat is this cause it’s not youPut a hand on the wheelTook a look in the rearviewWhat I see still is the silhouette of two Both made mistakes and owned upTruthContinue reading “Turned To Blue”

Serpent Messiah

Rooted rot from the forgotten treeWhat comes here is only entropyBoiled down to your waisted formFearful of divinities scornWith a head upon the chopping blockIdeas to which they funnel the flockBut wait here long enough and the mask will slipBelow is the reality of it Serpent messiahNo route to reach higherSnake and a liarWords sangContinue reading “Serpent Messiah”

You Have It In You

Watching as the world goes byOne eye dwelling on the skyAs rain does fall and makes a splashThe pitter-patter of the crashWith no sun to brighten upThis day is grey and full of muckBut still the surface is so prettyJust have to look past the nitty-grittyNot that it should be so hardAll of us canContinue reading “You Have It In You”

Trench

Suture up the hole in meThis vent through which I cannot breatheWhile all around the leaves do danceThe mud is claiming our second chanceCause in this pit is death and rotNot much else have we gotExcept the bullets to fire awayAcross the land at the enemy Even rats avoid this placeThey squeak and moan atContinue reading “Trench”

Askewed

You hate me and that is fineAnother fabrication of the mindWant an enemy so picked a nameWe have never been the sameSpoke once and that was itEasy to make me the one upon which you spit Fuel for the anger you feel insidePreach about the rules that you abideFallacy that you won’t cast awayRather makeContinue reading “Askewed”

No One Is Ideal

Spinning the cylinder won’t save the dayWhat you fear is the abject miseryDon’t fret you are not aloneWe all have demons in our home Voices in your head are not the threatJust want to push you to regretTune them out and you will seeThey hold absolutely no decree Shake with fear and look for anContinue reading “No One Is Ideal”

Wrapped And Trapped

Gorge and replicate yourself on a fantasyBut will you realise that the real meWalked across the threshold to the sodden doorThere’s no way back and you continue to abhor The rotting teeth chatter in veinYou have a brand new disease to nestle with painSo just for once why not open your eyesI know you fearContinue reading “Wrapped And Trapped”

Road To Take

Push to the frontIgnore what they wantIt wasn’t built for twoEverything’s for you So don’t let them bleed the sourceOr you’ll end up without recourseJust a circling the drainHead without a working brain Push to the frontIgnore what they wantIt wasn’t built for twoEverythings for you Wriggle out the mass of fleshThe pile with whichContinue reading “Road To Take”

Demiurge

Burst forth from the seam that they wanted cast in the fireThe mound they formed was to be your funeral pyreBut anticipate not a soul that had so much to giveIt is why they now rejoice that they let you liveThough I will not lie and say I played no part at allFor I stoodContinue reading “Demiurge”

One Way Ride

Actors put on a play most decadentSoon their energies will be spentApproximation waiting in the wingsLaying claim to the final bell rings So open those eyes and gaze upon this misalignmentTo retread this route would be most violentFor what has formed is not what should thriveRefute that and no soul will ever get out aliveIt’llContinue reading “One Way Ride”
