Glance to the stars.
Maniacal Escape Mar 2021
Do we see the echos of heart?
Shining there, so beautiful.
Holding on, soldier strong.
Distance is a dream gone by.
Holding on for one more time.

Sat, stung, sinned.
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020

floaty fun
Maniacal Escape Sep 2020
Statuette touch in a windless dream.
floating on whispers to a silken shore.
clouds fly by and so do I,
time is abstract as dreams.

Tomorrow

Running through these brisk fields, swimming with reeds of happiness.
Not a care in the world for the fields that lie beyond.

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

Blankest page, dead mans canvas.
colour, scribble, go on and paint.

Silly circles
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
I look like the biggest *******.
When I'm stumbling about the house watching square faces become diagonal.
They ask
Are you OK, why are you looking at me like that?
Am alrigghhtt, am jusstt lucking.
Silly square heads being all diagonal.
Leave me to be a *******

Death waits on side.
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Do you crave it? The feeling. So abrasive.
You may touch it. Caress it if you wish. But it isn't yours, I promise you.
It's nails, can you feel it?
Cutting.
Hope you feel healed.
Reach for more.
Dare to grasp at it.
Fingertips
Reach for a smile.
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
We're both unkind.
So stop telling porkies
I'm a vegetarian.

Ownership
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
'Wake up your brain boy!'
'they want in!'
You don't want them in, do you?
You shake your head, tentatively.
And you hate everyone because you're vile, yes?
Yes sir.
65 · Nov 2020
Crimson cries
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Secrets. Soundless as a butterfly.
Love bleeding. Don't cry now.
A secret is bled for those who bathe in sound.
Butterfly flies on. Cries of death and pain fall loosely into the air.
64 · Nov 2020
Revealing
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Lost in the dark, guided by what you hate.
Reaching the void, empty, going insane.
You call yourself a monster.
But you're not.
You see yourself in the mirrors of pain, and see your hollow soul.
64 · Aug 2020
Crimson cuddles
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
Leaking wrists
Final twists
Weak knees
Hugs please.

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.
64 · Nov 2020
First tears.
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
She Bled.
She's hopeful.
Call quiet, distant voices.
Tik tok time once lived.
A favour on the edge of a stream.
Secrets stay by. Watch them drift past.
Fetus. Following dreams. In clouds. Carved on blood.
The child will live.
Cries in paper. Synthetic tubes. Manufacturer magnificence.
From its glass dome it surveys the world.
It's happiness unknown through the sacrifice of its host.
63 · Oct 2020
Swinging, chillin
Maniacal Escape Oct 2020
Wrapped around me
Circles dead

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.

'yes'
They admitted.
Hired darling.
Come, walk under the ladder.
He did
They laughed.
He slit his wrists because it was Tuesday.
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
Our lives are far from home.
You seek truth inside the tomes.
Our lives are leaking outward.
I'm stuck here with your anemia.
I pray to the altar of the blade God.

Sir knife
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Blade on wrist.
It moves, politely.
Wishing only to serve.
Master at hand. Steel to blood.
He's happy.
He relinquishes his world.

Corner shop cures.
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
A gift from ages past.
Finds a knowing sight
From a clouded view.
A grenade to throw
To silence the crowd,
They're quiet for now.

dirty view
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Funny, how the mirror reflects more than you show.
#mirror #reflection
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
Coming to.
Senses blurred and hurting,
Vision swirls to find colour in black.
Ears hear too much,
Can't make sense of it all.
Face is sticky and warm.
Fingers trace it's source
White-hot pain turns black vision grey.
Breath is hard to catch.
Grey to white to Blue
To sounds.
Surrounded by chatter and noise.
'don't move sir, the ambulance is on its way'

Quiet quandary
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Grab the hand and don't slip.
Loosening, shake off the still.
Breeze catching corpse.
Rotten. Maggots. Drafting
Hopeful and lost. Desperate.
Solice in silence.

sad picture
Maniacal Escape Oct 2020
Silken sad scenes of sorrow,
a picturesque portrait of dreams.
oily and carbon and straight.
lines narrate pigment projections.
sad in itself, and its watercolour whim.
the artists vision will not waver.
The self portrait must always be finished,
to display the man.
Maniacal Escape Aug 2020
Drag him up
and tear him down.
Join the crowd and sing.

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.

Throat.
To the stars.
A cave.
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.

Foggy view

Needle nourishment
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Professional chef of a niche cuisine, pupils dilate and Michelin stars glow bright
Such succulent food the gods grow jealous. Body heavy the brain retires to sleep.
Trapped in a duvet tumbling down stairs. The peach canvas is painted in spots.
The cheetah will rise again soon, hungry once again.
57 · Nov 2020
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.
56 · Nov 2020
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?
56 · Nov 2020
Nightmare
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Sickening sadness.
Can't see through madness.
Stuck in a dream.
Hatewaves and hurting.
Piercing the curtain
Draw close the empty.
Peer in through blindfolds.
Crippling mindfold.
Crying inside the eyes.
56 · Dec 2020
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.
56 · Jul 2020
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.

Vivacious vampire
Maniacal Escape Nov 2020
Have you eaten?
I heard you bleeding.
Dripping, that metallic drop.
Come now, feed.
Wrist is on the menu.
Scrumptious sin.
Seems hell is nearer and more real.
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
Feverish hands for applause.
jittery in gesture. fingers and tongues.
and thumbs. and limbs.
Sprawl and crawl.
What a creature
creature comfort
blanket to pain.
must wrap up in the medicine duvet.
burrito me up, serve me hot.
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?
55 · Jul 2020
giggles in medicine
Maniacal Escape Jul 2020
But it burns
We are
Your sins, and feel goods.

Crimson clarity

As the red life pumps away down the drain, and the knife tears the artery open. The shocking pain is subsided. Knowing I will never suffer this misery again.
54 · Dec 2020
Grant a wish
Maniacal Escape Dec 2020
This all you that wanted.
All you ever hoped and dreamed.
This is all that you prayed for.
Through your shallow, silent screams.
Be happy and be thankful.
The pain will soon be here.
Be still and be breathe slow now
The end will set you free.
54 · Oct 2020
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.
Blindness seeks the concrete realness
Touch
Feel
I'm real and see-through.
Stone meets hand and enlightenment blankets you.
Reality
Touchable
You need my texture.
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.
