See,  Buddha in a  a rose,
find a child indeed is smile,
a smiling rose
when one converges with both.

Capillaries are the river's replacements
In the basement
of these globes
are  roads
life has yet to probe
pave
or scathe
wraiths roam
at gloam
with forlorn
echos etched into morning dew
Their worldly remains
lost in-between
Osiris' domain
My eyes are blood splattered atlases

He wore a stripped shirt
that resembled the twist of serpants
though he smiled warmly his eyes were
steady on the dollars
placing labels and badges on all
the soldiers fighting to pay rent
and live in times so far from purpose
I kick back and watch him scribble
false notice
prescribing a pill to every effect from
this life
its left me purging
I hate the institutions
the corrupt unjust
sick ***** sedating my
passions and
numbing me up
smart went to another place
outside your local village where
the villians mix the chemical
perserves in your children's fillings
I cant help the way I percieve what
I have seen
I cant help that my fall from innocents
was rougher and obscene
I cant stop thinking of the misuse
of power and money mongers
I want to burn the kingdom
hoping it'd grow back to something better
misguided we walk off cliffs and to the slaughter
or we come back as our fathers paper back novel
excellence for me has fallen to resistence
because I simply cant stand this kind of exsistence
go ahead and direct me to another perscription
corrupt everything in my mind that makes me human
I'm ODD to the extreme !
I reject most of you and the latest thing
and now this man sits here
telling me I'm sick and spiraling
as he shakes hands with satan
defiling minds from eyes that only see green
and I pay my way to see this jackal conspiring?!
You can keep your advice your diagnoses and the dice
I'll leave you now to gamble with the rest of the villager's lives

Never finding expectation to exist beyond the last known blip of the past, projected through my back, in tackled grounds, bound, in the banter of spectators, speculating the specifications of specialised  weaponry, silencing the empathy, and seducing my enemies in the isolated idolatry of their stupidity that i sculpted from the scrutiny, that was wished to have eluded me but soothed my playful solidarity to my sickly game called reap and sow instead.

We are all dead, all dead inside, residing in thriving wounds.

Left unsaid in rhymes etched in tombs.

In the lies of old bafoons

I shall not fight, myself, as they do, nor shall i defy whats right just to eat tonight.

I will fight until I am mine and sleep.

Cradled in my shrine of thoughts amiss, in the frost of loss vs reward.

I am torn, between torture and a vultures wait of the prize to pedal the pestilent pettiness to the edges of my testaments, in the truth of youth-less suicide, slicing social structures into cylinders to swing in circles around the room.

Swooning, in my looming threat of self immolation to warm the heart with shopping carts of satire, killing the sad away.

Delaying the the decay of hope.

A stay of patience in my irrelevance,never hesitant in my clever projections of nothing.

I feed you nothing

But emptiness

Shuttering in the sultry shade of my suffering and loving every moment of it.

Saying nothing too much in things of such insignificance.

Spilling the mizpellings and settling for wordlessness after a good ***** of belligerent arrogance.

Im tempted to quit but my wick is lit and to submit now, would just put the fire out and i want to watch the burn.

If my words could kiss you,
I wouldn't stop talking.
If my silence could speak,
I wouldn't say a thing.

If my steps could love you,
I wouldn't stop walking.
If your fingers could listen,
they'd hear my skin sing.
Inside the pages of our memory
You sat against the hollow tree
Waiting as the leaves fell like pages turned
With every word tucked behind a door
Of a moment we once lost

Your eyes following the journey of the skies
As the birds danced to a song we once knew
I see you like words piercing through my mind
The story that never leaves
Even with the last period drawn

The rain falls like droplets of tears
And the wind sings a song
A sweet melody of the hollow tree
Telling of a story we once held dear
Penned inside the pages of our memory

You sat against the hollow tree
Inside the pages of our memory
And try to listen to the beat of a pumping vessel
Waiting
Just waiting

I want to love again
But my heart is too cold
There is this girl
That I would love to hold

But my heart just won't work
For its been crushed to pieces
It lies in a pile of fear
And the pain only increases

I want to try to love again
But I haven't the motivation
Time just hasn't healed me yet
Because of the fabrication

I've been hiding from the truth
Which means I haven't quite admitted
So the healing process is slower
Because I haven't quite committed

I'm stuck in this sadness
And it hurts when I rush
My hearts the one failing
It's hers I don't wanna crush

Yes I like her
But I'm clearly not ready
With my emotions on edge
I'm just not steady

So I have to let this one go
Because she needs someone strong
I really want to sweep her away
But this timing is so wrong
Cleaning out my notes... This is crap

Perched like a Raven
on the limb of a mighty tree
Overlooking the cemetery
It's so strange it was almost like a dream
A stone cold truth rowed out beneath
This was the mouth of the river
The place where it all starts and ends
So seldom does it make any sense
much like myself
A belonging sets in
It all felt so solid and so complete
All it was lacking was me
I can only seem to write from the darkest places of my mind and heart lately.On the bright side it's a great relief.Bah Humbug.
