Drift,
queer delusions
of grandeur…
almost saved
the world
with solutions and
adventure

Shift gear
to neutral, even
amateurs know…
but save us the confusion
under pressure.
So much affinity lost,
bonded seals broken by
crystallized Egos.
You touch that
Achilles’ heel soft,
but I don’t feel ‘frozen
institutionalized
heroes


Good dude
without a cause,
good food for sloth
.
I can’t stand looking
at the mirror without
a pause...zooming
in the sinner,
good book
or false?

Coz’ in the grand
scheme of things
Words will mould
into Worlds
,
and the end scene
will sing while
the 'hearse'
goes in
towards

Curse, or is it reaping
the debt of my Father’s sins?
lost in the lurch, beeping left
on my Mother’s things. I heard
they’re dreaming theft, but I believe
it’s death. Here lies another king…
The stakes are flames, arrays of desire
an inexplicable functuay of light and pain…
I take the blame for playing with fire,
in this despicable display of
my plight again.

Burdens of the flesh
Burning of the cash
Virgins of the past
Versions of the hags
Curtains when I pass
Searching for finesse
Church is when I rest
Burden is my path

"It’s not hard to create, not harder than it is to cremate. Destroy to rebuild, who gave me the right to relate? I’ll deploy the guilt, it’s who lives inside this ribcage. Authority within, Apology missing… Feeling a bit under the weather lately, maybe coz I’m feeling lit about what matters innately. What’s the next poem, where’s my nest home, what’s the last hope? I’m vexed, so let me ask the Pope, are you the best? Nope.  Or should I turn it into a rope and pray? Can’t do that without thinking of the hangings, it hurts so I clear my throat…
nay, can’t do that when you’re sinking from the angering. I’m recluse so I
put my faith on my Refuge piously and conclude. The page is now my deluge and the siren is left confused…
