What I thought of you,
Aren’t all demons from the start.
You’re making it through,
When found no more broken heart.
They know not what know,
What created all around.
So what of daemons,
By true love are some all found?
Catch me if you can,
Not all is eternity.
Even in the sand,
Souls broken down all to see.
If you are not mine,
Then I am not of other.
Fire with air to combine,
What opposed hands to smother…

From Mortal Only So Long…
Nickolas J McKee Apr 2024
I was very angry
So out the window
I didn’t care
Bet aware
Where does it all begin
Coming from my head
I wasn’t sure
Who was pure
Now to see the lost Light
Wasn’t waiting for
Comes a price
Keeping rumbles at heart
Not to watch someone
Lost to become
Very numb
Gripping out hanging teeth
Fearing to decay
Won nother day
To meet way
People lost their own wit
How to find out why
We quit to shy
To deny
Left hormonal our rage
To place us and save
What left to crave
Bones to path
So far wondered the wrath
Soul to conclave
Knight from the knave
Near to grave…

Buried Alive, Hamleo II
Nickolas J McKee Jan 2024
He opens the grave,
Not to see the light.
What not can he save.
So simmered despite.
Simmering high flames,
The beast not in chains.
It’s the contempt, court,
Replaced tennis, brains.
Blasted are the aims!
Come time hacked discord…
For who fall the Duke,
From toilets to ****.
At what belief shook,
Did he die for it?

Of Song (BanJoed)
Nickolas J McKee Sep 2020
When I dream of you,
Comes song,
Two country folk men come alive.
Tears of the song falls,
Of us,
Begging us more for simple time.
For I dream of you,
BanJoed,
Hearing the soft ballad of cards.
The playing of times,
Enticed,
Knowing you’re far apart in yards.
Here I dream of you,
Of song.

Realization From Snow
Nickolas J McKee Mar 2024
It snows today
When you realize
They weren’t your true love
They mess it up for love
You debate and decide who
But seems nothing true
You lose again
Over to be
Over to all end
Until you find a friend
It seems nothing will be lost
But comes with a cost

The Lady of Vatican
Nickolas J McKee Nov 2021
From Seas,
Her name will hold holy fire.
She will be the first empress,
Rome’s desire…
Of Lands,
Words of wisdom will all flow.
Doves will fly of the dear sky,
Light to glow!
By love,
The conclave of people so,
Will not deny her beauty.
Psalms will fro…
“Popess!”
For souls will chant…chant…to see…

God, Let Me Go First
The thought of drinking with them again makes me sick,
I had to wake up and say no.
The killing myself life long misery so quick,
The last bile in me was a blow.
Funny how life works things cared about so strong,
Sooner or later catches up.
Regret and pain knowing who I hurt for so long,
Pouring my life away in cup.
I always asked something selfish of the All High,
Never realising friendship had.
All I ask now is not even to say goodbye,
Thought of losing them makes me sad.
Keep them safe soul from poison God let me go first,
For I know and You know the pain before its worst…

To You
Nickolas J McKee Oct 2021
I can see the silence in your eyes,
They speak for themself.
The pains of your past left long to dwell.
No matter the hardened times we have,
We’re still here to love.
You’re so sweet, so sweet, innocent dove.
O’, I pray for you to be set free,
No more in a cage -
For it hurts of you afar to age.
No matter what the people say, love?
I am here for you…
Always yours for our love to grow true.
To you & always you this true,
They will say love flew…

Of Mourning, Sunrising…
Nickolas J McKee Mar 2022
O’, how bitter howls the moon,
Reflecting sorrow as it shines,
Sublime, sublime,
till the days of sunrise…

The deepest pains, we wish loving gains…

…we hear you…

Of lovers’ crossings, we hear the lost sings…

…we are you…

Running Away…
Nickolas J McKee Dec 2024
I thought about it,
Many times before.
Knowing life is ****,
Wanting something more.
It doesn’t matter,
Never what you want.
What’s even sadder,
Life a constant taunt.
And so we try hard,
Running and running.
Lives thrown like a card,
Gambled and cunning.
So here we go now,
To find life somehow…
And sometimes we just need to run away…

Going Through Nature
Nickolas J McKee Mar 2024
A staggering buck comes to life
But awakens to find
A tone of peace
It is something
To ease
The regrets and fights to come time
Will only come to past
Antlered in time
To last
Drinking from  the water of life
He stands tall to the sun
Fearing it down
Gets numb
Sometimes not knowing where to go
The forest all
Freedom to choose
His call

Of What They Used To Be
He had to let them go,
Even when he didn’t want to.
Hurting their hearts so low,
When broken no one has a clue.
Of horrible things done,
Come to regret later of life.
Saddened lives always won,
Rifting and rafting all so rife.
Thinking it’s for the best,
What is lost to sit and gander.
The thoughts never to rest,
Secret past to present pander.
They didn’t have to end -
Life and love was their friend…

Seven Stitches
His lust used to cut me deep,
Raw and rare with flesh inside.
Draining his soul all to seep,
Until hearts left broken, cried.
We used to be best of things,
Days met, happier ever.
The beauty of all life sings,
Making shared times so clever.
So what happens when we’re grazed,
Too entangled in our den?
Razor sharp as we are raised,
Lived to tell life as sin?
Never wanting to confess,
Our lust and love a mess.

Pulsating Yet Not
Nickolas J McKee Dec 2024
Your touch is deep,
When you’re inside.
Where can I sleep,
No heart denied.
Know where I been,
Cause I won’t tell.
No, it’s not sin,
Where tears don’t dwell.
Something you can’t,
Have for long lust.
Tried loving shan‘t,
God cursed to dust.
We try so hard,
To hold love lost.
Bleeding blood shard,
Dead eyes up cost.
Here pain no more,
Drained my dread gore…

Been Traveling On My Own
Nickolas J McKee Dec 2024
**** your ride up,
You seem to find a different track.
Exed, axed, in cup,
Basic instinct no going back.
Your world a trap,
The old you fears you in ten years.
Tell em a rap,
Your soul never doing back tears.
It’s time you fly,
Like D.B. Cooper on demands.
No time to cry,
Sink their souls deep down in the sands.
Buckle up, Chuck,
Time to ride luck…

Imperium of What Used to Be
Nickolas J McKee Feb 2024
When I called, I loved you.
In thrill having it all!
Then love came so untrue,
I lost you through the fall.
Lost childhoods unfeed, dread…
We found our way by train,
God was all first to bled.
Things never been the same…
No hourglass on skin,
Could tell me otherwise.
Where grace and love begin.
No more cuts I despise.
Imperium our friend,
What used to be no end.

Heartbreaking
The cutoff begins here,
All like you never known me.
You made it crystal clear,
Burning your love to debris.
Where I always wanted,
When they first saw me with you.
You so gaunt and haunted,
I rocked your world and you knew.
I would drown out your soul,
Every bit and least of it.
Save you from your sick hole,
Hurt pleasure until you quit.
Do you still miss me, or,
Are you alone still sore?

Friday the 13th
Nickolas J McKee Sep 2024
Whispers and waves are about,
As Friday night fears come alive.
Psychos and fools are in route,
Knives out all wanting skin to dive.
Ghouls and goblins may be fun,
So why not give them all a chance?
They eat your flesh till they’re done,
Scaled bellies full dancing to prance.
All stories told malicious,  
Warned the ones who never make it.
Loneliness superstitious,
Who seem to still have somewhat wit.
What to do such frights a day,
No escape nightmares to slay…

For Aljimar
Nickolas J McKee Nov 2021
I blow a kiss to my people,
Let them grow & fester in wealth.
I pray an angel comes to you,
Taking sickness from your mother’s breath.
Ashamed of my own soul to live,
Mine eyes have even seen of black.
I shan’t wonder how I’m alive,
God lay purity on your mom’s chest.
Pray to take my soul in exchange,
Graceless I am selfish of life,
Knowing my time will soon to pass.
Allah… if not you my dear God so -
Let it be so for others on…
Take me for the dear mother to live…

A Place For Priests In Hell
Nickolas J McKee Jan 2024
In so I have told,
False blessings laid hand.
Demented grown old,
They not chosen land.
Blessed marks above high,
Shed not Angel tears.
Instead, demons thigh.
For who dares gloves God,
Death soon always nears.
Intimacy dead,
Collars peeling skin.
Nothing left all said,
Restored souls begin.
Rage roar their brains flames,
Torn demons their names.
When you find the one, no worry,
I’m sure you’ll end up just like me.
All memories you wish blurry,
******* to live you’ll hate to see.
No, never wishing the worst through,
Yet, bad times just come to find us.
Chased away the good in us flew,
Left a darkened hole filled with ****.
No matter how drained our souls are,
There’s some fight in us yearning more.
Perhaps love doesn’t reside thar,
Maybe the sound of it can bore.
Or maybe it’s all in our head -
True love? What’s left till it’s all bled…

From Halo to Horns
I know I’m in denial,
Man turned into a monster,
Broken heart mended vial,
The rest I wish you foster.
What life which was together,
Never too late to reclaim.
Fear not the living ether,
To free our souls from the blame.
Somewhere I know to let go,
Never to hurt you again.
Rebellious your love I know,
Sweet making eternal when.
Mourned hands in sands stars fall stime,
The fight for us withered time…

Lost Lover
Even when we say we’re done,
We keep thinking of each other.
Seeing we’re not having fun,
Lives meant to be one can wuther.
Rebellious to be so loved,
We never regret what we had.
In the end it was you shoved,
I had to end us leaving mad.
Don’t want to end with all this,
All life and love must come to end.
They say ignorance is bliss,
Till happiness no more to spend.
I say you’re handsome heaven,
Our love never to question.

A Sake of Being Soon
First seeing their eyes,
I thought love to begin.
Angels to God cries,
Guarding our souls within.
Journeys never known,
All forced into peril.
Of life till death shown,
Hope darkness left feral.
Given what wanted,
So happens to move on.
What left so chaunted,
Fear not life to be drawn.
What thought of love, hewn,
Sake of being soon…
Definitions of Dreams & Things XVI - Poem 11.
If you’re reading this right now,
It means I’m done with you forever.
Minor lies revealed somehow,
And no, your lust was never clever.
I tried to hide it all in,
But what can you do when gaslighted.
Know we never had shared sin,
Angels clash, no longer love sided.
So this is my goodbye too,
Realizing the world what it is.
Sick and twisted to a coup,
Never questioning nor could be quiz.
I pray your god you’re not real,
Too fake for heaven to deal…
