Flakey skin
Maniacal Escape Feb 2022
Might meet some people
Might drink some whiskey
Might get high because its Saturday.

How do you like your eggs?
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Blue constantly coats black
And black again to be smothered in more blue
How do you like your eggs in the morning?
I like mine with a black eye.
Boiled or fried?
I’m satisfied, as long as my honour is torn apart.

Sad boy
Maniacal Escape Aug 2021
Silence boy
Silly boy
Try it again boy.
Cut it boy
Taint it boy
Let it all flow boy.
Daft boy
Silent boy
Swinging with tinsel boy.

Shhhh.
Maniacal Escape Jul 2021
Say goodbye.
See the lonely way out
Disappear.
I am your never
Your ever
Your cries
I'm your whenever,
Your quiet
Your byes
I'm your wherever
Your eternal
Good night.

Benign blessing.
Maniacal Escape Oct 2020
Triangle praise
clappy happy shapes.
Tall librarian,  robes slipping underneath his own worth.
pennies to donate, salaried sanctity.
Precious metal prayer.
hatred of man, verse cursed, line lynched.
And thus begins todays mass sin.
turn to page three hundred and hatred forth.
149 · May 17
Lady
Minerva,
My soul.
Come wash me away .

My morning my life my love.
I can't get over you.
Turning at the corners of my mind.

Internal
Maniacal Escape Jan 2022
I dance in the garden with the newly insane,
Singing my own name
I slice up the surgeons that cleave into my brain
Laughing as the breath leaves my veins.
145 · Mar 2021
Happy family.
Maniacal Escape Mar 2021
Living rooms,
Dining rooms,
Welcome hands.

Hateful glares,
Sneering smiles,
Open arms.

Absolute queen
Maniacal Escape Nov 2021
She sought her ciggies
In her dressing gown of glory
She lit up
And said
'you alright?'
132 · Aug 2021
Bad packed bags
Maniacal Escape Aug 2021
The anxiety and excitement is palpable,
Gnawing at the mind, claw finger probing.
Who cares which entrance just shove in!

'please take a seat and wait sir, your journey will begin soon'.
Relax and take in the scenery as light comes alive.
Is the expectation.
The reality is crushing and humiliating.
Dreams shredded. Hopes shattered.
The plane did not leave the run way and disintegrated into a heap of disappointment.

Time to book a different flight.

Bloodstained Smurf.
Maniacal Escape Apr 2022
The mood is blue,
The day is blue,
The red has taken over.
The red is clean,
Close and pure.
The red washing at the blue.
The blue is true,
The red cuts through,
This purple mess is mine.
Its royal blue, as red bleeds through,
My blue man walks on by.
126 · May 2023
The Monster bath.
Maniacal Escape May 2023
Crying into the bath
It soaks its sponge.
The pink lather writhes in its fingers.

Bleeding from the wrists
It dabs tentatively.
The sponge adds red to pink

It soaks the sponge again,
In the vat of redder bubbles.
The copper scent claws up its nose.

Its arms loose grip
Of the cleansing sponge
Its mind fades red to black.
121 · Mar 2022
Clean
Maniacal Escape Mar 2022
Bonfire shower,
Scrub the life away,
Tap severed,
Burning bridges light my way.

Mucky puddle
Maniacal Escape May 2022
A friend once said to me,
I'm worried sugar,
I'm worried what we've become.
'I'm worried how much you're doing, sugar'
The sugar soon solves his woes.

Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Press forward!
Going nowhere.
Fire!
On a civilian standoff.
Count the dead,
10, 9, 8
0 casualty’s sir.
Great maths, soldier.
Time running away
In a slow motion quagmire,
Rotting away
In an addiction wasteland.
Look in the mirror
Wrists to the sky
He looks back
On your lips
Only salt.

Maniacal Escape Aug 2023
When I get home,
Cloaked in all my anger from my work
My wee dogs paws, brush it all away.
All I have; is you, your wee paws tacking on the floor.

Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
I’m saved.
Sad I meant.
What does it matter it’s done now.
How done though?
Spillage?
Fallout?
Nah, they’ve ****** off to pudding.
And it’s not me so happy days.
Fucksake, turns out they hate apple pie.
116 · Apr 2023
Pie crumbs.
Maniacal Escape Apr 2023
Crust around the edges
Of a molten black blancmange.
Sealing in the flavour.
A magnificent masterpiece.
114 · Jul 2022
Pantomime.
Maniacal Escape Jul 2022
Falsetto feelers,
The audience is deaf.
Crescendo seekers,
Tone ******* deaf.

Mind your own business,
Screams out the crowd,
The deafness is deafening.
The artist now bows.

Blood red maiden
Maniacal Escape Jun 2021
Curled wrists
Hung spine
Garroted feet
Twisted hands.

Gypsy heroine
Maniacal Escape Jan 2021
Trail blazing for coins
She chunners to herself.
Singing a song
Nobody knows.
Vocational begging
She has all the skills.
Whatever you want.
Give her a quid,
She'll shower you with praise.
Give her a note,
She'll give your **** a name.
Pay her a fee,
She'll writhe in the dark.
Patrolling the alleys
It's all the same.
Her gypsy heroism
Keeping all the girls safe.
Her job is the same.
Toothless by daylight.
Desirable in dark.
111 · Aug 2020
Fizzy frustration
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
Glass half empty,
because I drank the other half.
Drinking emptiness to fill empty.

Pillar
Maniacal Escape Aug 2023
Now when I think of
My mother dear
That she can be
So full of cheer
Though she knows
Her life ends near
That she can be so
Full of cheer.
She coughs her lung's up
A mucal smear
She ***** her **** out
The end is near
But all my my mother knows
This simple thing
She lives her life
With all she holds dear.

Salvation
Maniacal Escape Apr 2023
Heartbeat clipping at his brain
He lies in his puddle of misery
Breath absent
Feelings dull
A smile rips across his face.
110 · Oct 2020
Meanwhile, elsewhere...
Maniacal Escape Oct 2020
I crawl to bed , a silent dream to a melodies' prayer,
off I whisper, my begging, to clouds.
and you know the sound of sin.
happy he is, the fruitful snake,
the life that terminates at a humans gaze.
soundless sarin. gaseous respiration
out of necessity at the manufactured devil as he smiles
his job is complete
he always gets his mark,
if you believe.
its always hands that strangle the throat.
110 · Mar 2021
Open door
Maniacal Escape Mar 2021
Please can we leave?
My teeth grind,
People smile with aggressive charm.
Please can we leave?
They laugh maniacly,
At me
Please, can we just leave?
Nah, have another line.
The feather cushion is an interesting distraction.
Fluffy fumbling. Faffy fascination.
110 · Aug 2020
Obviously oblivious
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
Crushing reality.
Crashing around.
Lightning blinds the sky.

Trivial toad
In your pond.
Lily pad layabout.
Ignorance it would seem is indeed bliss.
109 · Aug 2023
Nightime shoreline stroll.
Maniacal Escape Aug 2023
The sea drinks at the shore,
Moon in hand, the waves dance.
A slow silent samba.
Lazily. Shyly stealing sips.
Black and endless.
Timidly swallowing the world whole.
109 · Jul 2020
Protest
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Heart stops as the sainted blade peels away the flesh
Cursed pulse pumping holy blood onto the altar
Of forgiveness. Through veins of despair it trickles
Canons kiss upon blocks of the unholy
And they bless the fall through a degenerate mass
Devolving into anarchy. The Antichrist is born.
107 · Apr 2023
The kings feast
Maniacal Escape Apr 2023
Hungry are the hands that claw out the brain,
In a fit of absent envy for the thrill of yesterday,
Slickened in blood and wine as it congeals around the mouth,
It pours into the toilet, a buffet consumed, destroyed.

Maniacal Escape Apr 2021
Chicken in the oven.
Playing chicken with the oven.
Gaslighting the oven.

Not really. Dinners in the oven
Cooking in the oven.
Tasty in the oven.

The witch
Maniacal Escape Sep 2021
I know you never asked for this,
Such a child.
Pathetic and alone.
But it came,
The help you dreamed of
The sorcery you imagined.
She comes,
The witch in the wine
The witch in the shadows.
She comes.
You need not ask no more.
106 · Dec 2020
Sainted blade
Maniacal Escape Dec 2020
The scabbard.
Is the finality.
Fatal. Flailing hopelessly
She sits. On her steel eyed throne.
She sees all, everything you think is you.
She's ready.
Steel kisses, hissing through the throat, bleeding fallen youths.
She sits tight, ready for the next days feast.

Simple paradise.
Wholesome paradise.

Centre stage.
Maniacal Escape Jun 2021
She sang that night
A serenade in desperation
A song heard
Sang and betrayed by silence.
She sang, her heart torn bear.
She danced as her legs broke and her arms snapped.
She bled to the cameras
The camera switched off.
104 · Aug 2022
Empty home
Maniacal Escape Aug 2022
Calling from our home,
Ghosts are spooking over,
Hands holding the cold.
Our exorcist gazebo.

Strawberries and cream,
Mouth is chewing toenails.
Bucket full of smoke.
Smoke alarms enabled.

Disaster will unfold,
Loneliness without me.
Calling you from home,
Calling home without me.

White Pinnochio
Maniacal Escape Jul 2023
Is it me?
Or do you hide behind that white nose smile?
I'll never know.
You'd never say.
All I know is,
It's a white day. A good day.
For you and for me.

Jasper Sunder.
Maniacal Escape Feb 2021
Profile a man.
What do you see?
Murderer? Cleaner?
Smoker?
Cleaner smoker.
Busybody supervisors.
'he does hoover with extreme vigor'.
'but did you hear about the murders?'
103 · Jul 2023
Down under.
Maniacal Escape Jul 2023
Undo your throat,
Shatter both your knees
Twist out your eyes
And cut off your ears

Snap out your spine
Hang out your heart.
Spread out, blood eagle
And swoop down to the abyss.

Worship the wonder
The dead crimson art.
Behold your new gods.
They were there from the start.
102 · Jan 2021
An oriental nightmare.
Maniacal Escape Jan 2021
Red kimono.
She scoops him up.
The liquid kimono fills her arms.
Wailing to the sky.
Nobody hears.
She stares through the tears.
The tears at the tears.
His wrists draining in her arms.
A mother can bleed for a child.
And die for him.
But not live for him.
102 · Jan 2021
Crescendo
Maniacal Escape Jan 2021
And here we have it ladies and gentleman.
A scene before your eyes.
A man who had it all
Everything
Good health
Good family
The best friends.
But instead he chose this.
Look at him now
Dancing his merry tune.
Be fascinated at how exhausted he is
Simply breathing.
Astounding is it not?
Well
Good people
That's not all
Watch what happens
When we give him
A gentle
KICK!
102 · Feb 2021
iHate
Maniacal Escape Feb 2021
I hate everything.
It hates me to.
Forlorn hope for?
Nothing returned.
I hate the public.
Their children aswell.
I hate the bus stops.
The filth passing by.
I hate it all.
Hatred haywired.
Call me a cyborg.
But truth hurts aswell.

Red roundabouts
Maniacal Escape Aug 2023
Muffled. Sated. Play.
Titivating the field with wine.
Game changing moments,
Clouded in a red haze.

The poison needle hits the turntable and spin's me round again.

Objectifying paranormalising
Scaring the feelings away.

Tell me what the instruments say
Tell me what the probes feel.

Let's go round again.
It will always be there the second time.
Let's make rounds again,
One more time.
Maniacal Escape Jun 2023
An adult discussion.
A slave to his name, as long as he's happy.
An axe to the face. A wound he can warm in.
A slash to the heart. A cave he can scheme in.
An ******* he can dine in.
A feast for his ego.
No raised words.
No arguments.
He can't unfuck me.
An adult discussion.
101 · Jul 2023
Dancing queen.
Maniacal Escape Jul 2023
Busting a move
On my sofa dancefloor.
Just me in my room
My hand jive
My breakdance
My cushions
My home.
Me and my songs.
My cigarettes and my wine.
My good time.
And no-one else around.
101 · Aug 2021
Ailment: line
Maniacal Escape Aug 2021
It's tendrils sneak round,
Cutting and soothing,
They wrap up the the pain.

A tightness, a feeling.
A familiar smile on crusty lips.

A breeze, pumping through the eyes.

The hand to the head, the massage.
Familiar. Rooted deep.
Gripped, soothed, sweetened.
Dripping, eyes wide.
The oracle awakened

'it comes'.
