Elizabeth Squires
numerous books and songs
have been written about it
and when spelling it you'll
require oodles of wit

its location is in
the northern hemisphere
and cotton and corn are grown
within its very sphere

it is seen to branch
into feeder streams
at the end of its long
interstate traveling gleams

slaves were transported on ships
to toil near the river's banks
and their colonial masters gave
them such meager thanks

the I's and the S's
get much mention in its name
so are any of you able
to figure out its game

Lamenting the light that has left this domicile/
Love has lain down never to rise again/
Lost in the liquid anguish of empty bottles/
Lust bid farewell in a rose stained casket/
Laced in black with pale skin never to touch again/
Loneliness holds me close to her/
Lurid faces meet my peaceful sleep/
Loss is the one thing I know I have/
Life's lyrics looted and left barren...
//On desire//
All these mix together and I can't tell the difference between them anymore...

The Sea engulfed this place once
But spat it back out
None have returned here
In honor of those merciful gods
Who could so easily swallow us all
In the depths of dark waters
But not now, no not yet
In time however it is known
The world will return
As it was in the beginning
Back to darkness
Back to the Sea

I fell in love
With a shot of ***
Unfortunately
The disturbance fades
If I drink more then one...
PTSD
Sometimes kicks my ****
Ya....
I'm off to the next A/A meeting
Truth can be tough....

Too much hard life
Seen far too much
Grew up in Flint
Prison and such...
Back in the Military
**** those stars and stripes!
I tried to forget the blood shed
With all my might

But you know
Somebody cares
And so
I'll be alright!!!

How many hero's/heroines
sacrificed and left too die
all the pain and suffering
who and what can qualify?

Stumbling over the distractions ahead
Craving for more, salivating to be fed
Improper desire for lust and love
Just as free as a flying white dove

We'll move past the bodies
abdications, cedes, and waives
saving, craving, all sensations
just trying to be
brave

But for not to be seen
Covered in red
From the human remains
The lost
The hero’s
The blood
Of the dead

Things that were
and were not
said

Still hearing the silent screams
The nightmares, the sweats
The constant reminder
The flashbacks


No way to forget, it seems
the scars the blood, and everything
like cracks and the unsealed seams
reality of, Avenger teams
Collaboration done with Temporal Fugue. Pleasure collaborating with you my friend
