Patience is a virtue or so they sayNot quite sure why it died todayFeels like a crime might have been committedOr maybe this is when it had to be pittedAgainst the backdrop of the moment of forgotThe point at which the it became a lotSold in an auction to the empty roomTaken by a crookContinue reading “Bartered And Begged”

Invert
Stop with the hateTime to party and celebrateBut your heart of iceStill dripping maliceWhat is the problem?Leaving you solemnTime is a clockTicking back to the dotA point called zeroNo reason to be the anti-heroJust digging gravesCollecting slavesBuilding on the remainsSuch a shameSo just begin a pauseEnd the fabrication of causeLook for a highwayMake it yourContinue reading “Invert”
Conker
Growing high above the groundFrom where I can look aroundWhile my brothers continue to growBefore we drop down belowAs the wind rustles leavesWe will soon be cast freeLeft to fall to the floorWhere we hope to be foundClaimed by a happy soulInstead of rotting into a holeBut for the moment we gently swayAs the breezeContinue reading “Conker”
Denigrated
Wrap me in plastic but don’t forget the limeEvery second chance is just a point in timeWith all the vermin sitting in the courtsIt’s like what is left is nothing but plagued thoughts Host to the denigratedWhat a period to be fatedPulled from deep within the massesWill I see past the crashes?Or am I justContinue reading “Denigrated”
Contradiction
Choose a route then change your mindCan’t you simply pick and grind?Walk a road without a shiftIt’s beginning to make me miffed Why can’t you just be clear?Instead of wandering over there and hereIt’s like a cloud has come downAttempting to steal every crown What is best for youMight not be for meStop trying toContinue reading “Contradiction”
Dumb Criminal
Kerching, your the victimThe pickpocket systemA day late and way too shortTime to speak with a consortBut that takes cashAnd you have noneEven tried to steal for funNever knew you were that dumbSat within the metal barsThe cops are laughing at your chargeWhile you plead, there’s been a mistakeYeah its called your stupid intakeBut stillContinue reading “Dumb Criminal”
Sail The Open Seas
Riding on the sullen seaWhere there is a salty breezeAs gulls do fly aroundAnd here there is no groundAt least not what is called landInstead on planks of wood we standWhile the air blows in our faceAnd the ship rolls all over the placeWith a hold full of golden coinsThat we spend as we sailContinue reading “Sail The Open Seas”
Patchwork
Impact on the subtle shameWhen did life become this pain?A tormented wisp of nothing more…Than a hand crushing your organ coreWhile a circle becomes the drainA quest for fame will drive you insaneSo remember what you wanted mostGive that up you morph to a ghost Hampered by what should have beenThe claw down the backContinue reading “Patchwork”
Endless Spiral
Heaven sent on the wings of the windThis whole world is yet to be binnedCrawling down the endless streetTo a place where the bones will meetNot a victim or a diseaseJust a pit within which stirs brutality Polarised by the weave of the goneA moment in time which was wrongHating all that came to beLikeContinue reading “Endless Spiral”
Cured
You grow like a cancerBut I have a chance hereTo shed you from my lifeAnd rise to a new height No point in cryingMy life is a prized thingSo now I am long goneTime for a new song Set up on fresh shoresRid of the old soresThe light is just greatAnd I won’t lose itContinue reading “Cured”
