busy bodies
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Let the concrete pour,
Entomb the fly.
Chain the entrance
To a mausoleum of business.
The restless don’t know they’re at rest.

Coffee with a fag.
The ***; he drinks his coffee.
A coffee with a ***.

With coffee, he smokes a cigarette,
A coffee with a ***.

He enjoys a smoke and coffee,
The ***, coffee,with ***.

He'll do the same tomorrow,
A coffee, and a ***.

Fiona
Maniacal Escape Dec 2020
Praise her holiness fiona.
Her arms bring the rain's blessed kiss.
Toe upon toe the trees force green in her majesty.
People are soaked. Stunned by nuclear shrubbery.
Fiona's fervour is unmatched in the world of miracles. Some would wish she would stop walking.
Cursed non believers who long to be dry and pray for leaves that rot.

Silky sexy cigarettes .
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
Eyes seductive,
pursed lips,

Party slave.
Living on work, lines, ****, liquor,
Queen of wine. My kingdom beckons.
Chic, glamour, shut in, slippers,
Empty throne for a day, I reckon.

Sir knife
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Blade on wrist.
It moves, politely.
Wishing only to serve.

He's happy.
He relinquishes his world.

Right on time
Maniacal Escape Oct 2020
Cigarettes and chewing gum,

Pep talk.
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Flabby clap, slap slap
Lips flapping applauding yourself.

Slithering in blood.
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
The blade chooses and chops.
Dispensing clotted closure.
Silken Crimson
Pumping through.
Sodden clothes.  
Weakening resistance
Hands up go down.
Sliced and diced.
Wavy ribbons.
Metal spectates.
The corpse is moving.
Slimy red slug going nowhere.
The slug stays nowhere.

Crimson cuddles

Leaking wrists
Final twists
Weak knees

Piggyback
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Come seek with me,
The falling sun.
Jump on my back,
As the world is gone.
See in your eyes,
The flowers of hate.
Run through with me
The meadow gate.
Sprint through the crowd,
They claw and bite.
Look back on pity.
Shoot them all.
Make them hate.
Make them fear.
Jump off my back.
Run. Through the trees.
Look what you've done.
Corpse cuddler, crowd clearer.
Run. Run. Terrifying sprint.
Edge of the cliff. Almost fell.
Jump back on child, don't be afraid.
I'll carry you. To the end.

Colour chart
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Strange kind of leaves.
Sullen whilst stroking at the breeze.
Is there a word for 'off green'?
Depressed lime?
Let's just water it and call it a sad tree.

Peculiar Performance
Maniacal Escape Dec 2020
Did you not see me before?
I hid my eyes so you wouldn't feel.
From tomorrow, higher as the curtain falls. In sequence as we now keel over.
Applause for those who earned it, the Mexican's do not wave. Maybe next time.

Nightmare
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Sickening sadness.
Can't see through madness.
Stuck in a dream.

Draw close the empty.
Peer in through blindfolds.

Crying inside the eyes.

He keeled over
Poor dog.
He liked that one.
She smiled, strawberry mouth.
He blossomed. Flowers I'm frost.

He muttered as he hallucinated.
Tripping absolute *****, chewing gum.

They admitted.
Hired darling.
Come, walk under the ladder.

They laughed.
He slit his wrists because it was Tuesday.

Sycophantic sorrows

Untoward and outward.

Drifting.
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Craven heart. Silly child.
Guttural howl for a life never lived.
Would you even know?
Can you even know?
No-ones going to catch you when you fall.

Innocent question
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
If I crawled when there was no need to.
If I soiled myself. In the cold hard dark.
If I allowed my pulse to stain the floor.
Would there still be a tomorrow?

Hidden voyage
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Silvers fine. Ornate in my bed.
Crystal vase, crumbs rattling heads.
Brown is pure. Veins, dont come near.
Chocolate ship, sailing through sand.
Secrets melt away. Hide the needle.

Warmth.
Maniacal Escape Dec 2020
Lay down softly in my hands.
Little creature cold and sad.
Keep your head up, big wide smile.
Dry those eyes my little lamb.

The world outside is harsh and loud.
Stay here with me safe and sound.
We are strong. Just you and me.
Our secret place.
Our eternity.

We're both unkind.
So stop telling porkies
I'm a vegetarian.

Corner shop cures.
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020

From a clouded view.

Warm dirt.
Not far from home.
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Feverish hands for applause.
jittery in gesture. fingers and tongues.

Messy paper.
Maniacal Escape Oct 2020
Crystal crayons blister, paper and displays.
harnessed colour is shade for next days plain.

Ghosts gonna get ya
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Poltergeist.
Hidden in the depths of a man's design.
Always waiting.
Always causing the next nightmare.
But then, just then. The Man wakes up. And realises that the shadows of himself are the shades he created in the dark.
And then he smiles.
Because he knows he's terrified of himself.
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Give the begger a little gift.
A silly ******* sunrise.
Hope. For a fortune laced with gunpowder.
Give him that hope.
That penguin wrapper joke of hope.
And watch what happens.

Quiet quandary
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Grab the hand and don't slip.

Obvious omnipotence
Maniacal Escape Oct 2020
Far and wide we wonder for it.
Here
Now
Waiting for you.
Holy light trails upon you.
Come
See
Shines upon you.

Touch
Feel
I'm real and see-through.
Stone meets hand and enlightenment blankets you.
Reality
Touchable
You need my texture.

Prayer in brown
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Golden sun. Baked golden skin.
Needle sins. Brown is my kin
Viens breathe new life.
Death seeks to hide. In loneliness.
Steel cast aside.
Lay in the cold.
Death takes its hold.
Just for one day.
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
Sing a lullaby of death.
Whilst you ****** me in cold blood.
Hold me whilst my life ebbs away
Homely bones join the castle made of skulls.

Self excavation
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Sumptuous velvet blood
Dripping down into the floor.
Brilliant and bright, liquid ruby's.
The pickaxe is long and bladed and sharp.
Former miner, now a jeweler.
Marveling at my precious pretty gems
As they fade away and return to the earth.
#blood
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
Pennies clatter, happy chant.
Change hangs heavy, metal *****.
Such a rich thrill.
Copper courage. Bronze boldness.
But what did you loose?
With your pants down your ankles and pennies strewn across the floor?

Wild wildlife
Maniacal Escape Oct 2020
All I hear shouting.
Mind is a zoo.
Eyes darting, closures.
Glass, open view.
Clapping and staring,
Rope, hand, and wood.
Flashes of cameras,
neck, noose and jump.
