Redemption
The Ripper Apr 2016
Feeling broken
looking for a savior
something to change the outcome
If you didn't have this
or that
you vvould surely die

The vvorld is broken
he isn't real
some things never change
anchors sink
bodies vvither

Seeking redemption
in the darkness
only to be met
vvith void

I have a friend
The Ripper Oct 2016
I have a friend
He drives a truck for a living
He is someone vvho I've never met
One that I trust and trusts me
He has my home address
Sometimes I imagine him to be a truck driving serial killer
Not sure vvhy that turns me on
Every time I come across one of his photos
I save it
I revievv them often at night
vvhile lying in bed
I knovv it sounds vveird but so ******* vvhat!
He's avvesome
Like vvhen the sun crests over my messes
I have a friend
&& in my head he kills you

Tussled
The Ripper Mar 2016
Come, prize this serpentine tongue;
in where men have been known to vagabond.
Why fancy so  l   o   n   g
                               in secret?
Only to deny your landscape,
unto barren desert.
Dared to venture these dark hallways,
where knocked on doors would be answered;
yet your desire remains tussled.

Ruler vvith the eyes

Boneship
The Ripper Oct 2016
I've hollovved out a hallovv realm;
vvhere only boneships sail,
vvielding verbs of vengeance;
My vvords float on flesh.
Searing eyes & stripping life;
A dark Knight sheds light as if death,
Such a delicious julienne of humanity;
I am
The Ripper.

Having guests tonight
The Ripper Mar 2016
Love tongue
in cheek,
inside;
shiny teeth:
fry up your gristle,
having guests tonight;
we dine, play with our food
and display
fine raiment.
Glimmering pearl trinkets,
strung up on chains;
gifts from oral cavity:
pass a napkin?
please and thank you
all the same.

A treat,

whichever suits the eyes.

you were borne unto me
to die in my arms

Lie your secrets
The Ripper Mar 2016
VVe could strip skin from faith
crank volume on regret

Shoulders
The Ripper Mar 2016
I always figured
  there was something
something deeply wrong
with me
   but then I come here
to see
that there is
more of something wrong
with all of you
   I suppose misery loves company
or so I have been told
  but I would know of no such thing
    as all of my company
is buried
by sore shoulders

Send to press,

      fearful tears; a thick marrow:
                           deep respire,
                     O' claw at straw;
                  an animal instinct,
              tsk,tsk.
          Eyes tonight,
       blotted out;
         reason is mine.
            You: bound,
               distended;
                  beautifully,
                     bleu.

through dark adroitness
I became
God and Death

Debris
The Ripper Mar 2016
I had no idea that we were this pathetic,
stranded on our emotions -
Lending out what we erstwhile harvested for keeping,
hoping for something new;
among this debris,
that we call ...
LOVE.

House of Death
The Ripper Mar 2016
Inside that
cylindrical container,
a pseudo survival;
j u s t   a    little   m o r e   s e a s o n:
tongue the span of human nature,
take it out for a spin; like you own it,
stick a fork in it!
These eyes are vacant;
Death is home
now.
318 · Mar 2016
Perennial being
The Ripper Mar 2016
The magic behind
that unknown;
what holds it up?
Against time;
above it all:
a reflection to tell
on every move,
undoubtedly
a midnight wonder.
Cast from the teeth
of perennial being;
closed eyes make
not a difference.
296 · Mar 2016
Proud of what I do
The Ripper Mar 2016
I never read books
  in my earlier years;
     to learn of
        ***** placement:
           I just dig in & make a span;
       of chaos without reason.
    Left behind, victimized;
I'm proud of what I do:
  if you survive; time heals a lot,
     but I really hope you don't.

Truest friend
The Ripper Mar 2016
Peeking into my window
making love to my skin
you bring about a smile
soon you will hide
for what will seem
like an eternity
my truest friend
covered in thick cloud
you lose to the cold
I will wait patiently
for your return

— The End —
