Confession
Harry Roberts Aug 2018
Here It Is, Here's My Confession,
Thought I'd Submit & Lose To Depression.

Better To Be Plant Food,
Than Living Life Half Full,
From Here Grows My Attitude,
Heaven & Hell & The Pull.

Wires Tight But There's No Melody,
Fires Bright But Only In Memory,
If I'm Gone Don't Remember Me,
Weakness Is Real It Dismembered Me.

I Make Myself Whole From The Shards I Collect,
Remembering Beauty The Spirit Directs,
Tearing Down Structures Depression Erects,
Gathering All That I Recollect.

I Remember The Victim,
How They All Tricked Him,
Treated Like **** Not A Bit Of Respect,
So I Look Closer I Try To Inspect.

Not At The Past & All That Has Passed,
But At The Present & What It Presents,
At My Behaviour & Change The Dissent,
At All The Fibres Soaked In My Essence.

Breath of Relief
Harry Roberts Jul 2019
I felt the silence like a shiver through the night,
Oily darkness like smoke it swallows light,
But I cannot fear when darkness was a part of me,
It almost ate my soul and stole my heart right out of me.

Now I keep myself to the fringes,
I seal the lock I melt all the hinges,
Now I stand so strong & happy by myself,
Sifting through the ashes of my minds wealth.

I needed isolation to find absolution for my self insurrection,
Confidence grows out of impotence with this correction,
Harvesting worth while I walk this direction,
Rebirth of the spirit in this resurrection.

My cells all sighed a breath of relief
My soul shimmering with the glow of belief
My mind finding balance banishing this grief
My life looking lighter with more life than a reef.

Thoughts Of A "Whore"
Harry Roberts Sep 2018
I'm A ***** That They Cuff,
Won't Introduce Me To Mami 'Cause I'm Not Enough,
Said That He Understands Me But He Has Turned Tough,
Now He's In My Spot So He Knows It Was Rough.

**** Your Apology,
Read The Situation In Reverse Chronology,
I Guess That Hate Is Inscribed In Your Pathology,
All Of The Stories But **** Your Mythology.

He Is An Author & He's Writing Fiction,
All Of His Tales Are Causing Me Friction,
My Words Are Aggressive It's Reflected In Diction,
He Just Loves *** (Yes) It's His Addiction.

Now That I'm Angry I'll Blind The Fire,
Now That I'm Grown I'll Bind My Desire,
I Wanted To Hurt You & Wanted To End You,
That's Emotional Growth From Where I Could Mend You.

Now When They Aim I Won't Defend You,
How When They Change & Try To Pretend To (.)  
Be The Same Person Not What They Descend To,
Playing The Game & Then They Offend You.

Tigers & Zebras (.) I Think You're A Snake,
Liars & Lovers (.) The Shame That They Take,
But It's Betrayal A Mood I Can't Shake,
Should've Known Better But I Loved A Flake.

Dichotomy
Harry Roberts Sep 2020
One wide split right through the middle
Frightening fighting while I stay hidden
A war between reality and feelings
The path my feelings follow aren't always appealing.

I've invested my energies in endeavours proven destructive
Fed the essence of my aura into a river that's been occluded
All the sentiment sediment with the pressure becomes eruptive
Seems like the fallacy inside me had always been corrupted.

Imagination and my devastation have I always been deluded
Dichotomy so clear yet the opposing parts keep feuding
They create a perfect storm as if these factors colluded
Adding to the mounting anxiety making matters more confusing.

Blinded Lame Mice
Harry Roberts Jul 2018
All The Shades Of Hell,
All The Spirits Tell,
How You Leaped & Fell,
But Now You Cannot Dwell.

Take a leaf from an Oak & reflect
On all time,
Take a page from a grimoire & see all the Magic.  

Take The Words From Their Mouth,
These Blinded Lame Mice,
Their Compass Points South,
But We Roll The Dice.

Gamble & gamble,
Throw chances & choices,
**** your whole Soul,
Then Drown In The Voices.

Can I fold your clothes?
Like I fold my opinion
Into smaller and smaller
Fragments of thought.

Can I hold your hand?
Without you sinking
In quicksand.
Left with noughts

No crosses, no kisses?
I'd thank God but he left me
But if not, only to test me.
And I can't find myself.

I can't deduce the deluded
Chaos of this Labryinth.

But I can try,
Die.
Fail or fly.

Illusions
Harry Roberts Jun 2019
Illusions and comforting lies I lay with each night
Though these are my ties to this earth
These voices just hinder my worth
These thoughts just kindle my fright,
Will I be alright?

Paths how they diverge I lean to the left
Selling my blood so my hearts is bereft
Drop down I'm dead oh this bit's in jest
Frame as a joke before they digest.

Make it mean nothing, alas I digress.

Enthralled
Harry Roberts May 2019
There's a momentum that drives us towards each other
Its fire and passion that burns into pleasure
Climaxing and shaking holding onto each other
Sweating and breathless grasping our eternal treasure.

This body is yours and your body is mine
I like to watch you **** other men its divine
The ****** is bracing you contort and you whine
You pull out off him and you *** on his spine.

I'm stood enthralled at the end of the bed
The screams of the ******* could wake the dead
Then comes my time to join in his stead
Embracing my man while giving him head.

If I Say
Harry Roberts May 2019
If I say what I think
It's like claymore hit our link
If I say what I mean
It's like you've walked inside my dreams.

If my nightmare makes you shudder
In confession where you utter
Make the priest spit and stutter
Praying to Mary sanited mother.

If the truth takes a tole
Steals a portion of your soul
Makes you sin for your goals
Fills your aura with black holes.

Then welcome to the start of it
You might just lose your heart in it
Enjoy you're time in dystopia
The underworlds utopia.

Teasing Me

Teasing Me, Pleasing Me,
Biting & Binding Me,
The Pain Isn't Blinding Me,
The Thrill It's Reminding Me.

The Love Of All This,
The ****** & Bliss,
The Rough Hands & Warm Nights,
The Soft Skin & Ripped Tights.

My Chest Is Vibrating,
The Pulse Of Us Mating,
The Moans Reverberating,
Our Love's Rehydrating.

All Of Our Pitfalls & All Of Our Highs,
Love Told The Truth Against A Tongue Full Of Lies,
I See The Love Like A Flame In Your Eyes,
I Know Our Feelings Have Doubled In Size.

Snakes and Ladders
Harry Roberts Nov 2017
Snakes and Ladders
Forever starting anew,
Seen circles of adders
Biting their tails
To the bone and through.

You got to move quick
In that place and have forethought
Forefront,
Otherwise you'll fall short
When your works not nearly done.

Beware the Ivory fangs
Flashing in the night.
Let fear butterfly into strength
And sight so you can
See which path is right.

Find a ladder
To lead away
From what made you
Madder,
Remember the feeling
Don't daunt
But it matters.

Snakes and Ladders
Beat at its own game,
You choose yours
But I threw the board
To the flame.

The Sun & Gaia
Harry Roberts Jul 2018
On The Sand, In The Sea, Feel The Stones Against My Feet.
Waves & Foam, Crash & Pull,
In The Middle Never Full,
In The Same I Taste Defeat,
In That Way I Am A Fool.

Salt air scalding my face & sending hair into disarray,
Sun paling the blue & turning skin red,
The sands golden hues glitter in spite of my mood.
Aware of the beauty but it's grandeur is lost on me.

Radiance & Brilliance,  
The Sun Is Truly Resilient,
The Fires Flames Are Militant,
Gaia Is Truly Diligent.

Done her duty for millennia,
Now the Sun bares down on her,
Can't contain the fire is stronger,
Burns her children & We are no longer.
One world interconnected,
If one house falls we're all effected.

Harry Roberts Jul 2018
I Remember A Mat With Roads And Buildings Printed On,
I Never Liked Toy Cars But I Liked The Mat.

I Remember Fleeting Details More Than Whole Scenes,
Fractured Spiderwebs Of Memory Singed To The Synapse.

I Wouldn't Have It Any Different,
I Wouldn't Bond These Broken Shards Of Thoughts To Form A Whole.

I Am Happily Secure With My Internal Black Hole.
I Am Hopelessly In Love With The Absence Of My Soul.
I Am Helplessly Addicted To Memories That I've Stole.

Chance
Harry Roberts May 2019
How the **** did this happen.
Goddess give me answers.
Is my luck so misshapened?
I put faith in my chances.

How fruit spoils before it can ever ripen
How love turns before it's ever heightened
How chances turn and bite like vipers
Now every turn is a chance to be frightened.

Now every second is an eternity without relief,
I forgo heaven as I burn with my belief,
I cry with my angels as my path becomes brief,
I lay with the demons when my soul is a thief.

Where's the Heart at
And tell me where we've been,
******* in equal parts
Yet we never seem to win.

Tell me where the Heart at
Where'd you park that,
Yeah we ******* larked that
Fat and juicy on a bench we sparked that.

Skunk was on literal
We were nasty hoes
Caught in His chaos
-******'-
Written in his prose.

Never thought death could rise,
but I'm luckin' now an' i rose.

Living my life now
Found my own soul
And my life now,
Won't look back
Can't look down!

Won't think of how
Only living loving now,
Body Spirit Soul and all the things
That make me whole.

Where I want to be
Just the sight in front
Of me.
How you want to say
What you want yourself to see.
Don't haunt yourself just
Look up and see,
Otherwise you're never you
Or ever free.

Hydra In Your Heart
Harry Roberts Feb 2019
Narcissism is a Hydra in your heart,
Confront one head & three others sprout,
Can't reach the end when it's just the start,
You take all you can and only leave doubt.

But I still love you and I'm part to blame,
When I'm with you I'm hugging my shame,
Love is a liar it turned into games,
Or it is as it was but now I see flames.

So I must stand strong and use my resolve,
Turn from what burns me and learn to evolve,
If I can be wiser then I'll break your mould,
Keep my eyes wide while I aim for my goal.

Mud

Mud
Truth speaks,
Hell (.)
But the Currency is deafening.

People barely care
They're never not *******
or ever really listening.

But a grave we dug
No matter how grave,
When mud thuds I hope
We're snug.

What we made and
From that there's no reckoning.

A dark and dreary lane
But we saw and saught this
Figure beckoning.

Looking for release
And we only found
Another prison to lease.

Soon to be future
That has passed,
A shame for mud
But we couldn't last.
Nuclear & Toxic Mud
We Made.
For the Gift of life, To Gaia,
Death is what we paid.

In Your Presence
Harry Roberts Jul 2017
Feeling felt false
And I felt fake.
I only give
You only take

You were fire
I burnt like ice,
Together we detonate
Yet still we resonate.

Into you I fall deeply
My energy: lost, awashed or equal
I never found my equal
Would I dare where gamblers may?

Or fall back into dismay
Would I run like I'm unseen
Or return to the same routine.
Could I? Head under the guillotine.

Would I?
Red in a different scene
Lost but still keen
Love still never mean.

Was I really me.
Did I really change.
Did I truly grow?
When life got slow.

It wasn't a joke, but I was still vomiting, it held no reality
But I spared no brutality.

In actuality I've Been self actualised.
I need no figure to show me I've been tranquilised.
Took such time before I realised.

I've been dead & reanimated,
Zombie flesh decimated,
All my values antiquated,
Leaves my mind devastated.

Satiate your need,
Take a bite
Just feed.
Life pour from me like
A river.

Just breathe life into
Death again,
You fell, left rotted,
Rose from the ashes
And left Death besotted.

Phoenix, fly and
Burn free like fire.
Tame your flame
But freed to burst
Forth from the frame.

The Beasts

The forests consume and reclaim death
Natures breath & her nurturing *******
Nourishing the beasts that pure chaos has left
Teaching them love where they only know theft.

These creatures all rise where they fell in the mud,
The hands of creation guide and bestow,
Life to the Death that once grew below.

I would hold my grudges like I kept my secrets,
I would smile while dying just to pretend,
That I was okay and above it I could ascend,
I thought the weight was too heavy for me to contend.

I would wallow in despair and swallow hateful tears,
I learned that secrets are like cancers metastasising through humanity,
Hatred is a product of imbalanced duality,
And if we are to move forward we must outgrow insanity.

Forests dwindle from ashes rekindled.
Oceans grow then blanket earth in mounds of snow.
A cycle like a year for us but spread across milenia.
It's Hades or the Artic tundra a harmony that's swallowed by thunder.

Utopia that we forget these moves we make and then regret,
Paradise we cast aside for wants and needs we can't describe,
Heaven falls and we love limbo minds made easy when lifes not simple,
Asphodel this path is indifference but if you cannot care then what is the difference.

Defiance
Harry Roberts Aug 2019
Pride is an act of defiance,
Those who have it now - had it not - when they were younger.

The world taught you to shame but butterflies can't be tamed.
People sought to torture us, conversion camps, there more than this,
But if I air the weight of it - people say there is progress - but people do not process - the world is bigger than a microcosm - people still **** us to make flowers blossom.

Pride is an act of defiance, from the first stone that flew to the wall that we're
tearing down,
But the fight isn't over it's only just begun,
We fight for those who feel like they should run,
Because Pride is defiance when the world would pull a gun.

The anger I feel in my mind it is scathing,
The people are blind to why we need saving,
We're treated like toys they treat us like play things,
Step out of line then you'll need a tasing.

Your body they own it the truth is disturbing,
Your thoughts are they free do you think it's unnerving,
Your programs and apps is it purpose they're serving,
It's distraction & misdirection these servers are preserving.

It's crap & it's chaos,
Distract from your pay loss,
So what is inflation,
Media only serve sensation.

Your devices are listening,
While people ignore,
Our devices keep listening,
What's left in store.

Waved off like good riddance,
A commodity to be used,
This odyssey leaves us bruised.

Hell Dressed As Heaven

His hands are gripping at my tail,
Hell born demons on my trail -
He thought he could bind me.

An angel in the sky
& I cannot align -
Please,
Wrought with confusion it just blinds me.

I cannot contain the pain is bursting from the frame
Man I hope that you hear this,
I still call your name when passion scorches rain
& I could almost be near bliss,
Then I'm well aware of the emptiness I share -
My bed it was made for a pair.

The man with golden teeth shares a soul with the Beast,
He sent me to a Hell dressed as Heaven.

I confess that I compressed my whole soul with this stress,
Once a mess of pure distress a naked flame I coalesce,
I turn into an inferno and I burn who dares caress,
I can heal and be better but first I must regress.

I'll forgive myself and say
That sometimes life goes this way
Maybe it's better not to stay
'Cause surely love finds its prey.

How you want to send a text

You were lonely hugging bowls while you hurled up.
Agony on the floor,
Foetal how you curled up.

Puke up another blood vessel?
We have more time
to build up more slime
Build up more grime
Build up what's mine.

Blow in due course,
Empty of a force
Cause it's torn from me,
Style and confidence
It was born from me.

Now far from the core
Of me,
Sat in the shore or
Sea
I can't seem to see.

Who I want to be
And aspects

Poverty
Harry Roberts Dec 2018
It's sad that the unseen are left to wither,
Cold & hungry they're left out to shiver,
Welfare is corrupt & the Government is morally bankrupt,
The system is fixed & not for the people,
Some people are predators propagating evil.

It's bitterly disgusting how people don't care,
It's a joke beyond proportions there's plenty to share,
But if they cannot charge them then assets left spare,
Human misery and the  disproportion is laid bare,
People bogged down in the depths of despair,
There's no accountability like they should stay there.

It's a game for these vultures,
It's just life for the rest,
Stress induced ulcers,
There's a press on our chests,
They sell this as culture,
Where work is the best.

But wages have fallen we're slaves to our debt,
Chemical inebriation just anything to forget,
It's survival of the richest while poverty grows,
A decline in intellect so nobody knows,
A deadline of people living on the breadline
But just read the headlines misinformation shows.

Hungered All Along
Though Only Just For Him,
The Currents Are So Strong
Across The Sea I'll Swim.

He Taught Me How To Love
He Told Me Not To Dim,
He Was Neon To My Heart
Never Cold Or Left In Parts,
Acid Sugar I'm So ****
Misdirection Throws The Darts.

Empty From The Gong
Made Of Space I'm Vaccum Sealed,
Empathy Was Arson
So I'm Still Charred & Not Quite Healed.

Apples Are Peeled,
Lemons Are Lemonade,
Destiny Has Killed,
So The Fates Eliminate.

Limitations
Harry Roberts Sep 2018
The Bane Of My Existence Is An Empty Page,
When The Words Won't Flow The Thoughts Just Age,
My Mind Is Swelling But Equally As Empty,
How Can Articulacy Come When I'm Particularly Numb.

How Comes Happiness Is Ever So  Fleeting,
Can't Contain The Energy When My Aura Is Bleeding,
Redirect My Aura When My Soul Isn't Eating,
Self Consuming Ouroboros It's Follow While Leading.

Heavy Headed While I'm Floating,
Truth Is Tough No Sugar Coating,
Mind Is Full My Brain Is Bloating,
Ears Are Full Of What You're Quoting.

If I Am Free The Sky Is No Limitation,
But This Absence Of Life Is A Poor Imitation,
This Façade Of Civility Is Inherently Flawed,
A Cavalcade Of Hurt People Their Lives Are Ignored.

Some People
Harry Roberts Sep 2019
Some people outgrow growth and embrace decay
The love they had once is now all but flayed
So a veneer of ice is all that's displayed
It's hard to heal when one is betrayed.

Some people take and destroy what they want
When their cold it's not their accountability that haunts
It's their hatred of others how self imposed abandonment taunts
It's a regime of hedonism that leaves a soul gaunt.

Some people can heal and reveal that living is choosing
That to get up and live is beautiful even when losing
It's a battle in a war and the essence of life is bruising
That the beauty is in the battle is the reason life is confusing.

Rivers
Harry Roberts May 2019
I feel the heat coursing across my skin,
Like rivers across the earth, The blood burns beautifully through each vessel,
Turing my skin from white to blood blushed red as the fire of our passion reaches ever higher.
I feel the power in your muscles,
Coiling and bunching with tension then relaxing, I hear your heart dancing in a frenzied tempo until the tempo climaxes and we're left panting.
Then the sweat cools to pools and our muscles quiver in ecstasy,
When we can breath again enough to kiss this cycle starts again,
Lust so pure it may never be love,
But this rhythm between us is greater than love.

December Deaths
Harry Roberts Jan 2019
It beggars belief little lord on a cloud,
All the lies and deceit like it is allowed,
Molly coddled murderers wrapped in a shroud,
Put on a pedestal they make us proud.

I guess it's a joke but it's lacking humour,
Callous disregard and it grows like a tumour,
Deadheaded buds will never be bloomers,
Head out of sorts they'll send you to the groomers.

You are a worker so work till you bleed,
This country is driven by unbidden greed,
People are dying there are People in need,
Politicians only take it's their mouths that they feed.

We're falling to pieces we're down on our knees,
We'll sit outside parliament while we all freeze,

We won't let you forget because the people remember,

The day a homeless full time worker died of hypothermia outside of Parliament In December.

Changes
Harry Roberts Aug 2017
Same place
Fear has become commonplace.
Yet we try to create a safe space,
Space everywhere but not always safe.

Same place,
Now Hate won't hide
But time we'll bide
In the past tried.

But time changed with the tide
And the tide changes again.

Ride with the waves,
Don't sink or stay in the
Same place.
Let Fear dissolve
Love and let yourself evolve,
Find strength within your resolve.

Burst into Flames
Blameless,
Truly be shameless.
But be love, compassion
And be loved with passion,
Fashioned for this life...

Mortality
Harry Roberts Nov 2018
I'm Running Out Of Time
I'm Burning On The Inside
I'm Running From My Fears
They Never Seem To Subside.

The Hourglass Is Nearly Done
The Light Inside Is Nearly Spent
In The End It Was For Fun
In The End It Was All Meant.

I Am Nowhere Near Perfection,
From The Start I Knew Rejection,
I Know I'm My Own Reflection,
Diseased Inside I Hide With Deflection.  

I Am Rotting Living Flesh,
I Am Living On A Bless,
I'll Hide Inside If I Feel Stressed,
Deafened By My Pounding Chest.

Styx
Harry Roberts Nov 2018
Little Did I Know, A Lot I Could've Guessed, Guess I Should've Grown,
A Frame To Big For Stress.

Balance An Elephant On Your Shoulder,
The Darkness Grows Its Getting Colder,
Imbalance Is Outright It Can't Get Bolder,
The Machine Is Broke No Fix With Solder.

Disenchanted I Felt Stuck, The World Will Drain Away Your Luck,
All The Energy From You ******,
Bent Over A Table You'll Be ******.

Drenched In Hate You'll Swim In Styx,
From This Fire Their Is No Fix,
From This Day Your Left With Six,
A Week To Live I Hope It Fits.

A Scorched Charred Throat You'll First For Lethe,
Enchanted Waters To Make You Forget,
A Blank Canvas Will Be What's Left,
But You've Been Cursed To Hug Regret.

It's
Harry Roberts Aug 2017
It's not what you took
Or what you left with
It's the skeletons that remain.

Rotting flesh,
Carcass & bone.

Mud, Blood
&
Cold hard stone.

It's the Art of Apathy
And how you embrace
Emptiness like a hidden lover.
