English You are defined by who you are, not by who you are not.
I am the vacant sea, Bereft of sentimentality apparently, Gallantly, I uncannily resemble, An assembly of mistreated heroes, And a villain or two; I am a wave at its lowest ebb, Further now from the shore, Furthermore from the door, Of the love I want to blow, Me away; Obsolete, I’m Pac-man in the penny arcade, Ms. Pac-man’s ****** off for days, Or months or years; or was she ever even here. Always holed up in my cave, Staring at the razor blade, Waiting for divine intervention, Some totalitarian convention, To drag me away; No cares, this lust, This pushed me over the edge, Through the hedge- funded by my Need for mediocrity; indemnity, Insatiable, eternally caught far, From what I seek; Could anyone love a creature so bleak? Going on a diet of bread and water, Lamb to the slaughter, So that someone’s daughter, Might love a Devil like me.

The Vacant Sea
Mournfully, I adorned the gilded bench Bereft of innocence and purity Warmonger-in-chief for the city Wistfully succumbing to love’s lament Suddenly, I was roused from dreaming In my peculiar, conscious slumber By the sluggish, haunting thunder Of a passing tram, obviously scheming It trudged wearily by my side Echoing inside my murky cavities Where I commit my ***** travesties The remorseful ones that guiltily I hide It’s with a sigh I feel that macabre touch For nature did not nurture me this way To be so unwelcome and unworthy of the day But I've loved so strong, perhaps too much

A Chord Within Me Struck
Flowers build the summer air Flowers bring untold despair Flowers in the sun do grow Shatter when the north winds blow Flowers love not you, nor me But lust for all the honey bees Working in their busy way To glut on all the summer days. But when the bees are all but done And Autumn leaves block out the Sun Who's that in their final hour? Not you or me- Our friends, the flowers.

Flowers
I am decided quietly That I am a man of leisure Of peace and philanthropy But most of all- Of pleasure

The Ecstasy of a Man Not Locked in Doubt
I must exist to her To exist truly to myself This endless ramble Through Hades Is forever exhausting And fraught with youth’s peril Draining life and love from me Simply to exalt her being I'm forever wandering Between two distant worlds Crossing the threshold Between life and imagined death Perhaps to find a word To label my torment Though it, like me Must not exist It could not exist And why should it? I do not exist And why should I? We are nothing If we are not objects In the starry eyes Of love.

In the Starry Eyes of Love
It's been a while since we drank wine, On the borderline somewhere between love and great desire, I was a miser, a pauper in the ways of romance, With space in his heart for two but a want for one. You were the elegant lotus flower, Unfurling each delicate petal of venomous beauty, I was taken aback with what I may never know, Your eyes like none I'd ever seen before, Possessing all the wisdom I need in this lifetime, I stood shaken, a stray dog in the rain. You beckoned to me to dance across celestial Babylon, But in my haste and in my darkest hour to date, I procrastinated and that glorious morning sun returned, Ripping down each pathetic colour from the rainbow, Until the world fell grey and limp, And silence dawned upon my heart and I was then, As I am now, alone, and so forever shall I stay, 'Til death do us part, my heart and I.
