It started as a joke,
Some harmless fun.
Then the air cleared from its smoke,
I no longer wanted to run.

What’s this new desire called?
I’ve never felt this way before.
My heart now feels loud and stalled;
This is something I can’t ignore.

This must be love,
I see her as a dove.
She lights up my world,
Where shadows curled.

If you were to ever look at me, what would you really  see?
I am not a typical person. I have a dream.
Society tells you to be a perfect person inside and out, but they need to see who we are.
Society tells you not to be gay or atheist.
My dream, is to make you see that you are not alone in the fight for acceptance.
Society will put you down, but the real fight is to love yourself.
Tell the people putting you down to *******, because you love you.
You need no recognition of who you are to be happy.
Look in the mirror and say get the hell out of the way because this is me.
A true dream, a fight, for pure happiness will never end.
But it all starts with you.

Sometimes in life you hit the numb zone.
It's like you don't know where to go from here.
There's so many places, so many opportunities,
And yet you still don't know which to choose.

Sometimes in life you just want to go back to that time.
The time when everything seemed at peace.
And you don't have to worry every night,
About who will be there for you tomorrow.

Sometimes in life you wish you hadn't said those things.
That maybe if you hadn't everything would be okay.
And then in come the "what ifs" and "then whats",
And you come to realize that nothing will ever change.

Sometimes in life you wish you could be someone else,
Because you feel like you've messed up enough already.
And you think about all those people,
The ones you miss and you wonder if they miss you too.

And then sometimes in life you just realize,
Realize that the ones who love you are already here.
And that everything happens for a reason
That those other people hurt you.

But if they hurt you,
What makes you still miss them?
I guess sometimes in life you miss the memories,
Not the person.
It has now begun to be a passing malaise, to be punished for everything, except for one's own faults, when not only things, melancholy objects, but also calculating and suspicious glances behind the back of the defenseless, vulnerable person, who is - usually - left alone to a sufficient extent, look at each other like silent accomplices. They dig their wildcat claws into the skin, saying: "Let it hurt, just calmly!"

- That is why the majority can gradually come to like totally catastrophic circumstances at any time. A single happy self-forgetfulness, self-deception, self-deception is now just enough for a person to compromise at any time or to perform a ritualistic Turn of the Way; carrion flies, petty thugs peck at their pleasure, spitting on the germs of a more livable life that yearns for order. Is every path both anger and humility?! Halfway between the two, a mirage of speech that has neither ears nor tail.

Guided by the weight of memories, and then burned, it would still be good to cling to the echoes of encrypted heartbeats, which comfortingly alleviate the apocalyptic ominous omens of sadness. Every phantom pain is also a trench dug with us also; the taste of sleepless nights among the rusting gears of the brain, wondering if Someone would still pay attention; a futile squirrel circling in a chained labyrinth, from which there is no and can no longer be a way out anywhere.

– The embankment road is constantly closed; sometimes due to flooding, sometimes due to noise! Anyway, it leads to underworld filth and filth. All unnecessary alarms and cries were a false alarm, let the neglected anger and injured self-consciousness wear away quite calmly on the sunken, slightly eternally childish face.

i wonder if she sees me like a storm
brewing beneath the thunder
unexpected and a little unprecedented
but the occasional lightning makes her think
I just might be worth it

one day i dove into my past
jumped head first into my mind
and what i found was unexpected
you wouldn’t believe what i find

my trophy wife as it seemed
since then, nobody else has cared
she was a vision of my glorious dreams
or my darkest nightmares

she used to drive me to where ever i needed
wherever i was going
on the road i was nicely treated
that was something i was bad at showing

so after the months go by
and our distance turns into years
my wife and kids will hear my endless lies
but you will know my darkest fears

but i never got you that wedding ring
my beautiful summer fling

A Street Cant incantation to ignite truth, burn illusion,
and summon the phoenix’s whisper.


Yo, scratch that silence, light the wick,
I spit flame from the beard, real quick.
Ink in my veins, ash in my spit,
truth don’t hide when the verse legit.

Snap the scroll, fold the beat,
words hit hard like boots on street.
Feather flash, tail twist,
phoenix rise from a poet’s fist.

Blue light hummin’, foam on wall,
I cast from the edge where echoes crawl.
No wand, no staff, just tongue and breath,
I rhyme through rebirth, dodgein’ death.

Cabinet closed, but I got keys,
each line unlocks what the eye don’t see.
Chair’s empty, but I ain’t alone,
my myth walks loud in a quiet tone.

So hear me now, illusion break,
I burn the fake for the real to wake.
Ashwright Geof, spell-slinger prime,
droppin’ verse bombs in glitch-time rhyme.
