Space ghost
Maniacal Escape Aug 2021
It's a hymn to him
A bit, a scene.
Roll play
He claps.
What a show for him.
An extraterrestrial existential terror.
Things bow as they do.
He accepts.
He's the watcher on the watch.
Observing, learning.
He knows.
You don't

My is why is my.
Maniacal Escape Jan 2021
My drug smuggling little sprite.
My glorious dazzle of ******.
My sinful glass of slaughter.
My favourite colour of wrist.
My red of colour of wrist.
My colour of wrists of wrist
My wrist of wrist of wrist
Wrist of wrists of wrists.
Wrist of red of colour
My favourite is red
Red wrists is what I like.

Trump card camera
Maniacal Escape Feb 2021
Take the fire down.
Ember stealing crown.
Cold and wet and...
Free. Wash it over me.
See the frostbite grow.
Doesn't matter now.
King is watching me.
Why's the rope on that tree?

My mate Henry
Maniacal Escape Jun 2023
Henry's come to town.
Hose blazing, pipe's choking
Engine whirring
Henry's come to town
Town buzzing, apothecary open.
Henry's come to town.
Dust dancing, bags empty
Carpets trembling, dust lines vanishing.
Henry's done in town.
Carpets sparkling, bags are clear.
Towns sleepy apothecary's empty
Henry's been in town.
Henry smiled as he trundled back home.

Do they know?
Maniacal Escape Jan 2021
Your smile, infectious.
Just you and me.
We crinkle and cuddle.
Whistling our tune. You and me.

Skipping through daydreams,
It's just you with me.
We twinkle in starlight,
Our night, you with me.

Hand on my chest.
You breath just like me.
Our scent wrapped in smiles
You woven in me.

I wonder, if circumstance
Worked out differently?
To say? No, I'll bottle it
Because I like you and me.

Tough morning
Maniacal Escape Jan 2021
The day said no
My toast said absolutely not.
Everything I tried to be said absolutely ******* not.
I woke to an angry wall
And the angels did a Mexican wave.
And I just stared
Helpless.
And in my moment of deliverance,
I was handed stiff kittens.
63 · Jan 2021
Chicken
Maniacal Escape Jan 2021
Head upon the railroad steel,
Let us see how much you feel.
Iron horse stampedes your way,
Let us see how much you sway.
Head dismembered neck bleeds out,
Perhaps you should have just pulled out.

Hands on face, masquerade ball.
Mask down for the truth.

Ciggarettes in sand
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Brutality crashes down upon insignificance. Salt, seasoning it's voracious appetite for more as it gorges ever near. Ceaseless in its endeavour to destroy.
The Man marvels at the tide as he basks in its glorious spray, he'll move when he finishes his cigarette.
62 · Aug 2023
Shitshow
Maniacal Escape Aug 2023
Can't use these hands
Fingers aren't my own
Can't say what I mean.

Can't stand this life
This depression is all I own
I love what it's done to me.

Can't remember if it's real
The men that speak down to me
So **** in their long white gowns.

Can't cope with this no more
My world better ******* explode.
At least then I can watch the fireworks.
62 · Jul 2023
Sunshine and rainbows
Maniacal Escape Jul 2023
The end came and went
As the tide licks at the shore.
He stared at the horizon
Its infinite dangerous glory
He stared and he was ok.

Too scared to jump
Maniacal Escape Jan 2021
Does the drop. At the bottom of the well. Feel as freeing. As it looks. For those that. Peer. Longingly. Into its depths.
Asking for a friend.

Wide eyed Granny
Maniacal Escape Jun 2023
Whack a mole,
Catch a moth,
Crush a spider.

'This is not your best darling'
'put it away '.
'save sass for politics '.

'not here though darling '
'politics is for those who ain't got not no love in thier lives'.

' not like you and me.'

The hum.
Maniacal Escape Jul 2023
He lay there in his pit
He looked at his thigh.
His unimportant plain skinned thigh.
And let the calm still day wash over him.

Surrendered his mind
Abandoned his thoughts.

As the gentle din caressed his ears.

Midnight carrots
Maniacal Escape Jun 2023
Will someone save the crocodile?
Please, help help help help.
The puppy need's throwing into the water,
It's freezing in here. These blankets are stifling.
In my canoe of warm hot panic.
**** the bed. I've got paint stuck in my nails.
Topsy turvy. I'm the mumble bee and this is my garden.

Maniacal Escape Oct 2020
The sky is blue
The pavement grey
And I'm feeling particularly gay
It's a good life
It's a good day
To slit your throat.

Jeweled pipe
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
Don't be rancid. Don't breathe crystals.
Fear the disgrace closing in.
Closing now.
Rendezvous of reality.
Lighter to light, smokes to smoke.

Bustling emptiness.
Maniacal Escape Jun 2023
Sometimes I'm alone,
Smothered by everyone,
always so alone.
Drowning in love,
So alone,
Strangled by thier voices,
Alone.
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
Stars burning up.
Where is heaven?
Where will I go?
When maggots eat my eyes?
You told me this. Do you remember you told me this?
You shouldn't question hallowed grounds!
Look what you've lost.
Hopeless, wondering through unlit halls searching for truth in plain hiding.
What will you do?
Now sense and reason has replaced fantasy so comforting?
60 · Feb 2022
Mandolin.
Maniacal Escape Feb 2022
The knife finds its home.
It swallows me up, whole.
Blood for blood;
Pressure unbound,
A cheeky tickle for blush red cheeks.

Artisanal.
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
Golden shoes walk a silver path.
Jeweler looks on through enviable emeralds.
Dull hum of green, backstage shine.
Jade blocks.
Then to the sapphire lake. Clattering, rolling over each other. Chance to shimmer lost in waves of chips and tarnish.
The jeweler is happy with his work, and so shall charge double.

Noble bones.
Maniacal Escape Jun 2023
Invincibility has been dispensed,
To a floundering tattered caped hero.
As he dashes about, crunching under his own hype.
Never injured. Always there. Never wanted.
Never needed. Always square. Never useful.
Invincible to a fault.
Destroying cities to preserve a postcard.
That was never ever there.
59 · Nov 2020
Blood wave.
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
The crowd goes wild.
Camera. Panning to hands.
Audience.
Clap, makes a move.
Show to begin.
Steel ship, skin sea.
****** moses.
Red tide.

Your mothers cunt
Maniacal Escape Jan 2021
You're happy are you?
Truly?
Since the day you were spat out of your **** ****?
Well I doubt it.
If you were you wouldn't be here.
Cursing the hole you crawled out of.

One way.
Powder tickles,
Nasal trickles,
Whiskey, wine, makes me feel fine.

Echo chamber
Maniacal Escape May 2023
Are you not happy?

Deafened by silence.
All alone.
Burned all his bridges.
On his way home.

Allure
Maniacal Escape Dec 2020
Your chains are all I want
Captive, crazy. Hateful scar. Screaming
Agonising chokehold. Squirming. Painless whisper, murderous embrace.
59 · Jan 2021
Shut your ears
Maniacal Escape Jan 2021
Why do we scream when the world is deaf?
A loneliness that crashes,
Ocean waves on rocks of indifference.
Straight jacket disco,
Pump up the volume maestro,
The closed ear speakers go quieter.
Silence leaks though the cracks,
The cave, louder as the resident screams.
Brick him in.
58 · Nov 2020
Sad saw .
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Do you wish?
For what your eyes saw?
Impossibility, blooded.
Clean?
Do you know?

Is all that you're to be.

Simple tulips
Drugs on offer
Tearing innocent.
Opioid opinions. Singing choir
Seal me in please. I'm gonna go.
Grab a chair, see you soon grandma.

Pretty patterns
Head going nowhere,
Mind out of control.

Walking in circles,
No way back home.

Blessed
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Hush now for the Lord of light is here.
Let him wash away your sin in blood and fear.
Terror is faithful and you are now holy my child.
Be still with God. His blood rains down from the wrists of despair.
And now pray
Amen.

Jester
Maniacal Escape Mar 2021
Hell is ice cream
Sweet and easy
Nothings real
When hell is tasty.
Hide yourself
In hopeful high fives
Hollow hills and
Shallow sad claps.
Struggle clear
Of grated applause
Abrasive cheering
Bow down for the cheers.

Jellyfish

When a salmon named Steve
Met a starfish named Tracey.

A tuna.

And he swam past a jellyfish just last week.
And it was a Wednesday.

Beachcomber butterflies
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Silvers of rock, carpet secrets lost to time.
Knowledge cocooned in a blanket of sand.
Civilisations sleep soundly beneath the waves.
All this, whilst you drift on by.

Blurred vision
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
Hard nails. Soft socks.
Feet try hard to feel soft.
Smiles in leather. Chamois shine.
Wind dancing through silken robes.
Murderer prancing in in the wind.
Smash the glass. Break the screen.
The world turns from lava to rock.
54 · Nov 2020
Dark circles, sunrise.
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
The journey is ******* the mind.
Once again we must jump the schadenfreude skipping rope.
Toxically self aware.
Dig the cane into the rock and step up again. Breathless.
Forgivable failure. Fanciful tales.

Magic carpet ride
Maniacal Escape Jan 2021
They rolled her up in the rug,
And carted her off to the incinerator.
Nobody knew who she was,
But her needled skin looked like she had one last ride.
53 · Aug 19
Waterfalls.
Cigarette lit,
Dancing embers in the rain.
Breathe in.

Head to the sky.
Exhale.

A pause.
A thought.
A moment for yourself.

Bliss.

Let the downpour wash away the tears.

Are you playing alone again boy?
Nobody listening,
But you've an important job to do boy.

Playing with your toys again boy.
They're still not listening,
Keep up the work you're doing,
Alone again boy.

And when you get campylobacter
From licking the wheels on your toy tractor,
You'll die all alone in the end boy.

Important work you're doing
Very important that you do it
All alone little boy.
