I am pristine
I am pathetic
I am pointless

My love commanded
My love reprimanded
My love finally destroyed

The dream dissolved
The dream was gone
The dream was what??

I am pointless
I am pathetic
I am happy
I am free

No constraints
No marriage to restrict
No divorce with pain to inflict

No need to please
No you cannot dangle and tease
I owe you nothing
And you owe me, even less

Pointless with reason
Pathetic to the point of perfection
But freedom is the answer
And not this façade, this fake reflection

I have nothing but me and my soul
There is no one to who I pay a toll
Pathetic and pointless??
Painless autonomy,
Sublime in my sanctuary

My greatest challenge
The infernal, it is eternal
It destroys as I breathe
As I perceive,
I can only await
As the end shall never be
A chartered territory .

My thoughts
These demons
These words on paper,
Event horizon
Shocking and distinct
The reward is you are extinct

I shall perish by my hand of insignificance
I shall leave amidst strong resistance
All this could so easily change
If it all could so easily rearrange
As definitive as day
As nonchalant as night
I live in my crazed way
I live never blinded
By the saturated sight

But these days shall fade
I will lose all I've made
My mind can no more twist
As the torture can not insist
I will find the path to release
And all around there shall be peace

A brother is never lost
A brother is always there
Maybe you can't see him
Maybe you don't talk
But through a million miles
And a million tears
Together side by side
We will always walk

The battle
The heart ache
The sorrow and pain
Memories of those past
And of those still fighting
Into the darkness
A brother does remain

As the last post does sound
And our blood dries into the ground
Memories won't fade
Get washed into mediocrity
We shall stand together
Take the stress and the strain
For a brother is never lost
A brother shall always
In our hearts remain

How can I never
Manage to sever
Thoughts of sadness
The intolerance of injustice
Not so great to miss
That comforting kiss
When as a young'un
As a growing man
Was on hand to relinquish
The burden of a broken wish
A forbidden prosperity
Cut down in my prime
A worthless commodity
I cannot discharge
I cannot destroy
I cannot survive
If I cannot employ
Reason of virtue
And of common sense
That timeless moment
Never too intense

The gilt  edged sword of surreal sanity cuts deep wounds
Lacerations lament
Emotions repent

Damage to the core, to the very fabric of existence
Acidic tears
Roll gently over fears

Now survival has passed and the comatose state of denial remains,
So you shall turn to the depths of addiction
An unwelcome debilitating infliction

Suffocating in your sanctuary and crying for help
Lost in your vice
And rotting with the bugs , the lice,

The return to reason a path of injustice and failure
No spirit to shine
Another corpse waiting in line

A wound that never heals
A scar that forever bleeds
A bitter taste of resentment
As on your life and your loves,
The parasite of your persuasion feeds

Factory reset as my eyes shut  on another day confined to the ranks of history
The bright sun awakens ,
The mind is alert,
A day  of unknowing,
So tragedy we shall, try to avert
New day new challenge
New day new start,
From the days that have ended
A good place to depart
The screen is dark and no pixels shine
The intellect is bright and the subconscious is  sublime
Creativity creates chaos and reason redefines our  irrationality
So as the songbirds chorus greets your new horizon
Why do we fall back so easily into the arms of a dysfunctional reality

Another boring compromise
Dishevelled emotional franchise
Grossly heightened idea
Juvenile king Lear
My names  obstruction
Permanent quotes reaction
Standard transient ultimate vacancies
Wandering  x-rays yielding zombies
