Where does the sun go,
When he’s not in the sky.
Does the moon know,
Or does she just cry?

B Oct 2019
One day in the future.

Someone will look at you.

They will try to define.

All the things you do.

They will ask themselves.

What it meant to be you.

They will ponder all the choices.

All the things that you knew.

They will wonder why you didn’t.

When you knew it to be true.

They will see that your problem.

Is your human through and through!
Don’t let your legacy be,
That you could have acted and you didn’t
That you acted when you shouldn’t

Adrift asleep,

Eternity sleeps,
Existence discards,
Flashes of light,
Rush right past,
While this cosmic giant,
Slumbers so fast.

I think it’s time to say goodnight,
My words are no longer In flight,
There are many things I want to say,
But these rhymes are leading me astray,
So goodbye my friends just for now,
I’ll comeback one day when I’ve figured how!

Cosmic child
B Dec 2020
Offspring! to all of creation.
A child! of your own constellation.
In the universe's own desperation,
to define a single location!
Along the dismount of concentration.
The ever growing degradation.
Bound only by your imagination.
So stand up!
And be, it’s salvation.

Why does the moon cry,

Bring Out The Clown!
B Dec 2019
Expressions woven through madness,
The character confined by depravity,
It’s soul so incorporated with sadness,
Yet the power of hate lies in its clarity,
Observe the consequences of the sickness,
That tears a path through humanity,
Take advantage of their weakness,
Wear a mask of twisted anonymity.
“Some men just want to watch the world burn”

Uprising
B Dec 2019
They spoke with warmth, their ideas so bright.
They told us for too long, we have had to fight.
It’s time to take it back, they told us all with might.
It’s time to end humanity’s, bitterly long night!

The next day we rose, with a correction of sight.
While the white men in their towers, look at us with fright.
Because our power now displayed, so ominously bright.
Now we fight together, for everything’s that’s right!

Alone on a rock
B Oct 2019
Look up there, really look.
The line of your sight and the path that it took.
Try to understand the truth of life’s vocation.
While you grasp the depths of its bitter isolation.
There is nothing up there, nothing watching.
Just a barren universe, casually mocking.
Existence is a catalog of aligned integration.
Just a system of knowledge and past information.
Your ability to experience in all of its brilliance.
Is merely the outcome of your required existence.
The world we inhabit, manipulate yet trust.
Is a game of mathematics that acts as it must.
For nothing can happen without the passing of time.
This is a terrifying, existential crime.
I’m just starting out and feedback is welcomed!

Total control
B Nov 2019
We take back the power, for the people,
We fight to the last, for the people,
We work together, for the people,
We ask no questions, for the people,
We accept all information, for the people,
We hate those we are told, for the people,
We sacrifice the individual, for the people,
We live and die, for the people,
For the people!
The people....
What people?
The worst crimes in history,
Where committed with the best intentions!

Hollow
B Jan 2020
Down here, the river is king,
It’s path through the rocks,
Is how it does sing,
Tunnels and chambers,
Left only in it’s wake,
The beauty of nature’s,
Elegant mistakes.
Time does stand still,
And the air fails to travel,
Light dances endlessly,
Above the gravel,
But the majestic secrets,
This dwelling does hold,
Will reveal themselves,
To only the bold

Constraints!
B Dec 2019
There is no dark and no light, no wrong and no right.
There is no pain and no pleasure, no chaos and no measure.
There is no want and no need, no gift and no greed.
There is no love and no hate, and we are not governed by fate.
They are all just words,
Learn to accept it, before it’s too late.

You don’t know me
B Oct 2019
I am alone inside of you,
While being alone inside of me,
I am alone inside of everyone,
Who has ever met me!

Me, who is me,
Is he the me inside of you,
Or the me inside of me,
Could he be the me inside of anyone,
Who has ever met me?

But there is no me, or even you,
No single individual,
Can really be true,
When they are created by the minds,
Of really quite a few.
There are many versions of you, but none of them are really true!

The fall of anxiety
B Oct 2019
Anxiety makes me seem peculiar.
Anxiety stops me from being a monster.
Anxiety is the belt that confines my strengths.
Anxiety is the filter that hides my atrocities.
With out my anxiety I would never be and with my anxiety I cannot be

Every possibility presents itself as failure,
Every day merges into the last,
Every word torments the user,
Every moment reflects the past,
Every choice is torture,
While every mistake will be my last,
The fog is my saviour,
But I wish I wasn't sad.
I’m just starting out and would really like feedback!

Yet you lead me through bliss
And deep into the unknown!

The lost young
B Oct 2019
The saddest thing I’ve seen,
A baby duckling in a stream,
Left and right he looks,
Before being taken,
by the rooks.
The decisions our youth take,
Will ultimately define there shape
Be kind to them,
And guide them through their mistakes

Fighting a battle with a dark night,

Yet your weight pulls our oceans tight,
Even the wind can feel your might,
The sky’s most loyal knight!

False beginnings
B Oct 2019
I wake to a world,
I no longer know,
The pain that I feel,
Has begun to grow,
The life that I live,
Is no longer worth it,
But then it dawns,
I never had it.
Every morning is a battle,
Every night has to end.

Tracks
B Oct 2019
My cart draws on,
But life goes no further,
It twists and turns,
My grip gets tighter,
The path I chose,
Won’t go on for ever,
Yet I cling to this cart,
I can’t hold on much longer.
As time goes on,
My hold gets lighter,
It bucks and kicks,
I thought I was a fighter,
Can I let go,
I can’t go any further,
I don’t want to be here,
Fighting any longer.
My tracks seem to go no further

Numb
B Dec 2019
There is only myself, and I will do what I please.
I do not care for you, and I exist like this with ease.
The pain that I have suffered, has made my soul seize.
A world full of hate, has brought me to my knees.
The suffering will continue, to varying degrees.
All I can do is live out, this insidious disease.

Yellow Sunshine
B Dec 2019
It began in the dark,
When the shadows started to move,
The trees reached out their hands,
Of twisted wood and bark,
The sky swirled with patterns,
And my mind began to race,
This feeling of integration,
Felt like a gift from grace,
I looked at you,
You looked at me right back,
That smile that you wore,
Told me that you loved me,
And really made me need you,
So very much more.

Masks!
B Oct 2019
We adorn our masks, of physical taste.
While our mental states, lay in waste.
We keep up face, and carry on.
So you do not see, how far we've gone.
We turn our eyes, on to you.
To stop you seeing, straight through.
We fear our minds, and what they do.
For time alone, is time to rue.
We are not all as we seem

Too Late
B Oct 2019
The trail of destruction,
The silence of screams,
All of humanity,
Forgotten to dreams.

The silence of life,
That has become no more,
Haunts only the rocks,
And the broken sea floor.

The storms that once ravished,
Humanity’s home,
Now carry fire,
Melting even their stone.

The ground is all scarred,
Where the meadows once grew,
Just a crack in the surface,
Where rivers once drew.

Night and day,
No longer opposed,
The contrast of weather,
No longer imposed.

The passing of time,
Is no longer consistent,
The bonds of its measure,
No longer resistant.

The world is all quiet,
There is nothing to hear it,
Existence is lost,
While nothing can live it.

So the pain has all gone,
The tears have dried,
Humanity lived wrong,
Now the planet has died

Is he the me inside of you,
Or the me inside of me,
Could he be the me inside of anyone,
Who has ever met me?

But there is no me, or even you,
No single individual,
Can really be true,
When they’re created by the minds,
Of really quite a few.
Your identity lives not only in you but in those you have met, don’t be bound by it

Gone by Tomorrow
B Jul 2020
I awoke today, my surroundings seemed distant and bleak. While I stared across the horizon of strange shapes and monoliths, my eyes where drawn to a window. The grey light drawled in and infected my habitat, rushing over everything as it darted straight for me. I lay there, or stood, yet I existed. My head was occupied by nothing and all my concepts had failed. The weight of all things bare down upon me and I am lost eternally in the dark.

Offspring! to all of creation.
A child! of its own constellation,
In the universe's own desperation,
To define a single location!
Along the dismount of concentration,
The ever growing degradation,
Bestowed the gift of observation,
And bound only by its imagination.
Grown by it's internal elevation.
Tainted by surrounding information
But powered! to stand up! and be it's salvation.
